'Mark' in Greek 'Charagma' means 'To scratch or cut into'.
So even if there is a tattoo that sticks on, it will still involve a scratch or cut of your skin.
So therefore credit cards and social security numbers, HASH and biometric tattoos etc are NOT the Mark.
And 666 means in the Greek words; To Prick and Mark in recognition of Ownership IE SLAVES.
One must remember to look at the original language as it usually shines more light on it.
As to the Mark, I think it will be a tattoo of symbols that look like the Greek letters 666;
600/Chi= A Nazi swastika (or a Viking rune that means Gift-looks like an English X).
60?Xi= C (Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence.)
3
I
6/Sigma=UN
(Remember Operation Paperclip! And since 2004 there has been a war going on in the Antarctica between USA and the Nazis that live in New Swabenland.)
Nazis will be the new empire the Beast comes in with.
AND a RFID that a satellite can track, as this is already happening to Monarch sex slaves. Nothing new under the Sun.
God bless.

None of the things you mentioned have anything to do with your face or hand being used to identify you right?
So maybe it is paranoia.. But let's be specific about the inspiration for the paranoia. Particularly, the fact that using your face and hand to make purchases is a bit creepy.
But hey, sign right up. Seems like most Christians here are A OK with a face and hand scan to identify them because in Revelations it was stated the mark is a chip or tattoo.. apparently.

Uh.. you are aware Christians that take the mark of the Beast align themselves with him and will end up in Hell.

I'm totally aware. I was being sarcastic. People that cannot see that face and hand scans being used for identification with credit and bank systems is WAY TOO similar to the mark as described in Revelations are in denial.

This makes no sense. The mark is something that you choose to have or you refuse and become an outcast. Fingerprints and your face are things you have no choice about.
They are not way too similar. Revelations describes something being placed on the hand or the forehead not something reading what was already placed there by god.edit on 16-8-2011 by daskakik because: (no reason given)

Your just putting words in the writers mouth. Nothing more than speculation. Why would he use mark when he could have said:
"men will be introduced to an eye that will from that point on remember them (be registered) and any man that is not introduced to this eye will not be able to buy or sell because when he tries to buy or sell the eye will not recognize him (identification/transaction approval)."
Besides, why would god punish someone for accepting the face and fingerprint scans when he messed up getting the messege out in a clear way.

Didn't think so. So why are you trying to convince me that it's not the mark? WHY is their so much resistance from you supposed Christian scholars? When you KNOW and I KNOW you will not allow your face and or hand to be used to authorize purchases?

I would. I'd rather use it than a card or cash that can be stolen or copied.
Funny but I KNOW that it isn't. A mark is a mark and a scan is a scan, anyway you try to twist it is just that, twisting.

I don't think the mark will be introduced. I don't think anyone would take a mark over biometrics. I now that the bible says in the end times but maybe it was lost in translation because it doesn't make sense in this day and age. Hundreds or thousands of years ago maybe but not today and like I said if people do take it without knowing then why would they be punished.

About accepting the mark. Let's agree to disagree. But for me, if i line up to have a high res face scan and hand print taken to be related to my personal data store (credit, bank, licenses etc.) who's responsible for that? Me or God? ME. I'm the one that actively goes out and gets a bank account, i'm the one that actively gets a license. I can deny a bank card. I can deny a high res face scan. To deny accountability for this is pure ignorance.

Yeah but nowhere in the bible does it say that getting a license or a bank account is bad so you've done nothing wrong. It says don't recieve the mark but your not recieving anything so it either isn't it or god has done a poor job of letting us know what the "mark" actually is.
Also you can't deny a face scan if they scan you in a public place, if a website scans the pics in your account or the gov scans in the millions of pictures in highschool yearbooks. Practically every picture you have ever taken is a face scan. Photography has been around for over a hundred years but the mark is only to be implemented in the last 3.5 years. Just more strikes against face and hand scans being the mark.

I did post one of the verses from the bible, here it is again "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.” Revelation 14:9,10
Why would the author of revelations specifically say you will get the mark on the forehead or the hand? It doesn't sound like a HASH because the mark is a single identifier that those that are with him have. Much like a gang tattoo. All the members have the same tattoo. That is getting a mark.
Thanks for the run down on how it works but I fail to see how it constitutes getting "his mark on the forehead or on the hand". Doesn't matter to me if things have to be consented to or not because biometrics does not include receiving anything. It just doesn't fit the description even if you try to say that they didn't have the words to express what biometrics are.
Now if they had written: A seal will be made of your ear (Biometrics) and that the mark from this seal will be placed in a book (central database) and also a sample of the seal will be sent to every market (network) so that when you try to buy or sell something you must place your mark (scan) and if the mark doesn't match the sample (HASH) held by those in charge then you can't buy or sell anything.
See how easy it is to describe a system similar to present day ID tech with old world concepts. I guess my point is that if you have to force the words to fit then it probably isn't what was meant.
