Okay so I'm walking down a street one day and a facial recognition camera sees me. So what?
curious to pick your brain. I usually stir clear of ALL conspiracy theories as well as the mark fears, as I feel it won't be subtle. Plus, I don't think they serve His or our purposes. I could be wrong but, He will not trick us, not my Lord!! Also, fear is not from Him and I just don't think that way.The mark of the beast will be much simpler than any technology man creates. Those who are looking for it in technology, will receive it without hesitation. If you are a child of God, you have nothing to worry about.
Ok, now that is helpful. It does say visible..tyYes. The Bible describes the mark of the beast as a visible Mark like maybe a tattoo or something
Ok, now that is helpful. It does say visible..ty
Just a reminder of the passage.Ok, now that is helpful. It does say visible..ty
You know, I am glad you asked. I have been digging in. I should've put the ? mark in my comment, as his comment was comforting and I didn't realize it was visible. I can not find the word visible. @Dude653 can you help us out? Revelations 13:16-17 but it doesn't say visible. I will keep looking.Which verse would that be?
Look up the definition of "mark" in the original Greek.You know, I am glad you asked. I have been digging in.

The word mark means a stamp, an imprinted mark just like the mark branded on horses. A thing carved, sculpted, graven work. An idolatrous image.Look up the definition of "mark" in the original Greek.
The verse does not say visible but the definition implies visible.
Again I will remind all that this technology only works when there is electrical power and a clear signal to and from a satellite.
Will that be possible after the sixth seal earthquake?
There will not be 8 billion still alive when the mark comes.In order to have the mark of the beast apply to every person on earth, all 8 billion, you would have to have RFID technology, you would have to have satellite technology, you would have to have 5G technology since it must be powerful enough to spot this in each person, and you have to have this technology they have been testing with the the vaccine where nano particles of graphene attach to your DNA creating a wireless code which can be read.
You would also need a Quantum computer capable of handling hundreds of millions of transactions per minute.
You also need AI to be able to identify issues with anyone and then dispatch the drones, robots and soldiers to deal with it.
Many Bible Expositors thought this only applied to Europe as it seemed impossible to monitor someone on a remote island in Indonesia. But God and Satan would not allow anyone to avoid this judgment.
So even as recently as 10 years ago you could not have had or even considered the idea of "the mark of the beast" being worldwide and affecting everyone, however, the Bible never exaggerates and now we can all consider this will be a reality very soon.
The other thing to remember is that the Mark of the Beast is not implemented until after the Antichrist is revealed and you are clearly in the 70th week, the last seven years of this age.
That implies visible.The word mark means a stamp, an imprinted mark just like the mark branded on horses. A thing carved, sculpted, graven work. An idolatrous image.
For example, the first use in the New Testament:
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven G5480 by art and man's device.
Over the course of the 70th week half of all those alive will die. However, a great many of those die in the second half, long after the mark is out.There will not be 8 billion still alive when the mark comes.
Notice the Scriptures states it comes only after the image of the beast is raised up.
When the sixth seal is opened, all life as we know it will end as the power grids fail and transportation stops.
I disagree.Over the course of the 70th week half of all those alive will die. However, a great many of those die in the second half, long after the mark is out.
Today we have 8 billion people, so if the 70th week were to begin this year then yes, we can assume the number that will receive the mark will be significantly less than 8 billion.
So, are we to understand from your post you are telling us when the 70th week is starting?
I have studied the events. You can look at my blog "summary of Bible references concerning the rapture". I have 0 interest in timelines. There is no accountability. The only way to know if you know what you are talking about is if you can tell me when the rapture will be because if I am left behind then the timeline will matter to me and now I know I can trust yours.I disagree.
The first half of the 70th week was the ministry of Jesus as he established the new covenant that was promised in Jeremiah 31, Hebrews 8, 9, 10.
The man of sin only has 1290 days according to Daniel.
Study the order of events in Revelation 13.

The word is used for things that are visible, so it seems if it isn't we would be told that it is not visible.That was my point. You won't find a verse that says that. It's not visible.![]()
