well to start here is the verse:
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. Revelation 13:16-17.
I don't think that when this was written that John could describe computers or chips, But I think you can get the general idea here.
i mean when i think of a mark i think of a brand or a tattoo. a material chip is not really a mark, imo....
just another verse that is wide open to the imagination.
The seal of the beast (Rev. 13:16-17, 14:9-11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, 20:4).
In the language of Holy Scripture,
to bear upon oneself a seal (or a mark) denotes belonging to or being subordinate to someone.
We have already mentioned that the mark (or the name of God) on the forehead of the faithful denotes their being chosen by God and consequently having God's protection over them (Rev. 3:12; 7:2-3; 9:4; 14:1; 22:4).
The activity of the false prophet,
which was described in the thirteenth chapter of the Apocalypse,
convinces us that the kingdom of the beast will be of a religious-political nature.
Daniel received a prophecy of assistance that would be rendered by Archangel Michael to the people of God in the times of the coming persecutions from the antichrist.
In the book of Revelation Archangel Michael is the forefront leader in the battle against the dragon-devil and other rebellious angels.
'And there was war in heaven.
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon,
and the dragon and his angels fought back.
But he was not strong enough and they lost their place in heaven.
The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent call the devil or Satan."

It was invisible ink ink which is read able. Well no mater you will wear it, you won't have a choice in the matter. I think your shear disbelief alone will cause you to take it.

If we don't have a choice in the matter, why should anyone be worried about taking it or not?

A mark of a Christian is ''Babtism'' that cannot been seen visibly by just looking at someone.
Some Orthodox Christians tattoo the 'Cross' on their foreheads ...I believe they are Ethiopian Orthodox!
In some Arab countries they tatoo the Cross on their right arms...this was done because when living with the Muslims, they required a Christian Buriel, and therefore having a Cross was a sign of being Christian.
