Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Of course, this is in the theory that this said mark is in fact 666 while some others actually believe it is 616.
In 1935, Dr. Drown had perfected an instrument that was the logical extension of her experience with photography, film development and radionics. She accomplished something that is simply mind boggling. She developed a simple apparatus that was largely a modification of her Homo-Vibra Ray Instrument. She devised a way to channel the same etheric Life Force energy that she was detecting with the diagnosis portion of her instrument though a photographic plate and utilizing a special reverse method of film development, produced stunning photographs of soft and hard tissue anywhere within the body using only a dried drop of the patient's blood on a piece of blotter paper. In 1960, she published an 8" x 5" booklet intended for physicians called Radio-Vision, Scientific Milestone. Within that booklet were 22 of the most astounding photographic plates ever recorded. Sharply detailed and contrasted images of various organs and tissues of the body shown in cross section (much as would be seen with a CAT scan) made without the presence of the patient and involving no harmful exposure to radiation, electromagnetism, drugs, and at very little expense.

I wanted to say that I wish it was going to be as simple as accepting or rejecting Christ. If so, my family, many, many of my friends, and I could relax. However, I fear it may be significantly worse. You are correct that there are several options to choose from, but my personal opinion is that we most likely have not encountered it yet. I have no solid evidence to base this on other than the lack of evidence to the contrary. What I mean is that there are too many possibilities, but none seem to stand out from the others in such a manner as to appear to be the ultimate culprit.
I really do not know.
Which brings me to ask you another question. As I recall, there is not anything that specifically states in the bible that we, as Christians, will necessarily and/or readily recognize the mark or the seal. Personally, I worry about this sometimes. Even though I have accepted Christ as my Savior and I strive every day to live my life as such, if the mark turned out to be taking a social security number or something such as that, what happens? This is also part of what leads me to believe we may not have seen the mark yet because I think God would want it to be more overt. Something we could choose or not choose, and in so doing make a statement for or against faith.
Does that make sense?
The life is in the blood literally.

I cry whenever I see passion plays and movies about the crucifixion. I know it is just an actor portraying it, but I know what the meaning is, and it makes my cry every time I think of it.

Revelation 13:11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 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.
"Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. The world upside down shall be And gold be found at the root of a tree. Through hills man shall ride, And no horse be at his side. Under water men shall walk, Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen, In white, in black, in green; Iron in the water shall float, As easily as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found and shown In a land that's now not known. Fire and water shall wonders do, England shall at last admit a foe. "

Yeah i know. i'm thinking this is coming pretty soon and maybe right around the corner. In 2011 the Vatican had a meeting with the worlds' religious leaders to create a universal religion so we could see the one world religion aspect as soon as this year. The mayans had alot of knowledge concerning astronomy, i wonder if they had figured out sacred astronomy? If they had figured out sacred astronomy, which has been around since Enoch's time then they may have based their Mayan calendar on sacred astronomy which could indicate that they may have known about the tribulation that i believe we have just begun. The "signs in the heavens" are signs given by the planets in our solar system using the galaxy and universe as a backdrop with the constellations therein and sacred astronomy is how the Maji found Jesus and since hthey wanted to worship the newborn king of the jews than that means they were messianic jews from babylon and they were probably some of Daniel's people that never left babylon.

The biggest problem I have with the Mayans is that they could not see the Spanish coming. That event, as horrible as it was, changed that part of the world forever.
616 ("six hundred and sixteen", or "six hundred sixteen" in American English) is believed by some to have been the original Number of the Beast in the Book of Revelation in the Christian Bible. Different early versions of the Book of Revelation gave different numbers, and 666 had been widely accepted as the original number. In 2005, however, a fragment of papyrus 115 was revealed, containing the earliest known version of that part of the Book of Revelation discussing the Number of the Beast. It gave the number as 616, suggesting that this may have been the original.
e will create an image of himself, forcing people to worship the image. The "miracle" of causing the beast to come alive and making fire come from heaven is the first indications of this person.
