But be precise, the verse doesn't say we will carry the chip, it will be imbedded. It will also cause a grievous sore to anyone trying to remove it.
The Mark of the Beast
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

No, the pope very well could be the false prophet, the antichrist will be a Muslim. The 3 nations he subdues are Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. 3 of the 33 titles to Bible uses for him are Muslim names. Furthermore, this isn't the old covenant, we worship God 7 days a week "in spirit and truth" and not in any specific location or building. Jesus explained that to the woman at the well.

Basics of Greek language prove you wrong. When it says "the false prophet" and "the Beast" it's using the definite article "hu". In Greek that means "a unique one, different from any other or type". Now don't twist scripture to suit your denominational dogma. John told us what the "spirit of antichrist" was, they would deny 2 things:
1. That Jesus Christ came in the flesh. (Divinity of Christ)
2. The relationship between the Father and the Son. (The Trinity)
So let's not twist the Word of God so I won't become unglued at your doctrine of demons. Every cult and false religion on the planet and even secular humanism denies those two things.
"THE" false prophet is a man who will cause people to worship the image of the beast, and he will do false signs and wonders not limited to, causing fire to fall from heaven. The false prophet is also a "lamb with two horns", meaning it will be a pseudo-Christian leader who will affirm as true those two denials above, and will join with the beast empire.

So who was killing the OT saints of God? The RCC wasn't around until the 4th century.
You're confused dude, the beast empire is Islam, they are also a religion and a state. The caliphate is also the revival of the eastern leg of the Roman Empire, it lasted 1000 years after the western leg, it's called the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Allah isn't some new God from the 7t century, it's a repackaged deity from ancient Babylon, the moon God.
You guys are all hung up on that Rome is the "City of Seven Hills", good for you. Did you know that's not the only city on seven hills? Wanna know the other one? Medina in Saudi Arabia.
So no matter how bad you want to twist the Word of God to deny the two things John explained were the key statements or creeds of the spirit of antichrist, denial of the deity of Chriat and denial of the Trinity, you can't make Sunday worship the mark of the beast. For crying out loud, you guys don't even keep the Sabbath according to the Mosaic Law.
And I'm not saying the RCC nod apostate Christianity won't be judged, they will. Judgment must first come to the house of God, they're apostates, the Laodecian Church. But that's why he lamb has TWO horns, the false prophet. Catholicism and apostate Christianity/Eucaminical movement.

To figure out the mark of the beast you first need to find out:
1) What is a beast according to the Bible? (Dan 7:23)
2) What is a mark according to the Bible? (Deu 6:6-8)
3) Who exactly is the beast spoken of? (RCC)
4) What is his mark? (Sunday Sabbath)
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
The ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
"These ten kings" have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (the multitude of People /nations).

The sea is described in the bible to be a multitude of People......" The first beast will represent a multitude of People".
These People will be ruled by ten kings.
The ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
"These ten kings" have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (the multitude of People /nations).
These ten kings are the head of the beast (the political head of the multitude of People/nations). One man will be granted the authority to speak on behalf of all the other 9 kings.
The ten kings will be the master mind of the Beast.... Which all of you will fallow. The beast in question is all of you. You will all fallow the ten kings, becasue that is what you do, you fallow. And you will make sure People will not be able to:.. buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
You will do as the ten kings demand by their laws, and you will: causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.
Who else will do it if you wont?
Its not like 7,4 billion People will be lined up in front of the Vatican to recive a stamp.
Will they keep the Sabbath of the Lord, the seventh day, according to Scripture?

This is a typical pretextual study, meaning that he forces his preconceived Idea or opinion onto the Bible text in order to convince us that it is a true doctrine of the Bible.
