You start off correctly, referring to Greek and Hebrew. But you have to remember that Revelations is not meant to stand on its own but used with the rest of the bible and other texts such as the book of Enoch. Then you learn it is a permanent mark and that the other side will also be marked, anointed.
You will be able to tell who is who.
There is a a very good youtube channel where the guy is discussing this very subject right now. Some will say he is a quack but if you are interested in this subject go and check it out. It can bring some of this subject together for you.
Check bpearthwatch channel on YouTube. Uses other books to tie in some of this which is what you must do to understand it.
Listen, don't kid yourself. It may start all innocent but if you think Satan cares that people will be up in arms about this when implemented, he does not. Quite the opposite, he will be using the NSA machine and the Internet to find everyone who is against it. Lol he doesn't care, he wants you to be up in arms.
First things first, in order for this to work there must be one world wide currency period. When you see that move you should be worried about which side you are on.
Next and last, folks the temple in Jerusalem must be rebuilt before the antichrist can lay claim. If you see the dome come down and the temple being rebuilt the end is near. FYI, they already have plans to rebuild and have prefab pieces to do it. It could go up in less than a week.
Chew on that for bit....
Nice thread, think you are off a bit but nice to see folks talking about something serious for change.

All religion is based on 'beliefs' There are no discernible facts or proofs.
What many do not understand is that much of sciences is based on 'beliefs.'

You'd probably be shocked and surprised at what you discover if you take off the blinders.

While scientists will certainly bring their own bias into their research, the scientific method as such is not concerned with belief but solely with what is apparent, measurable, visible, factual.
Rev 13:15 And 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.

Because even the slightest possibility of it happening should be factored in to have a well rounded education and awareness of belief-systems and options. Your approach would have us deny and become blind to and dismissive of the beliefs of BILLIONS of people, which is both very arrogant and very ignorant. If you think there are no real cases and factual evidence of the supernatural within Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity and that such movements had no positive impact on civilization, then its time to start getting an education.
From the Sanskrit text the Linga Purana:
Some of these ancient texts actually predicted the conditions which now in exist the Twilight of the Kali Yuga. Remember, these are predictions! The ancients who bothered to write these prophecies down did so because they considered them to be abnormal, unheard-of, and outrageous.
Thieves will become kings, and kings will be the thieves.
Rulers will confiscate property and use it badly.
They will cease to protect the people.
Base men who have gained a certain amount of learning (without having the virtues necessary for its use) will be esteemed as sages.
There will be many displaced persons, wandering from one country to another.
Predatory animals will be more violent.
Fetuses will be killed in the wombs of their mothers.
People will prefer to choose false ideas.
No one will be able to trust anyone else.
People will be envious.
There will be many children born whose life expectancy is no more than 16 years.
People suffering from hunger and fear will take refuge in "underground shelters."
Young girls will do trade in their virginity.
The god of clouds will be inconsistent in the distribution of the rains.
Shopkeepers will run dishonest businesses.
There will be many beggars and unemployed people.
Everyone will use hard and vulgar language.
Men will devote themselves to earning money; the richest will hold power.
The state leaders will no longer protect the people but, through taxes, will appropriate all wealth.
Water will be lacking.
"Pre-cooked food will be readily available!"
Perhaps a comprehensive non-Sitchin review and and accounting of relevant apocalyptic Sumerian/Babylonian/Akkadian literature and Prophecy with citation back to the primary source cuneiform clay
Perhaps, some predictions from the Vedic Culture like:
"Pre-cooked food will be readily available!"
Yet, this topic favors the Christian Market Share present and fashionable in current Western Civilization as opposed to putting such prophetic literature into proper context alongside several similar cultural belief systems that were no less significant or less important to the adherents than the fashionably popular Christian/Abrahamic mythology in current majority observation.
