Real Id, invisiable ink and mark of beast.
Some of you are aware of the growing concern with the real id act and the patriot act we are facing soon. But are you aware of the National Social secruity card with RFID...go to JBS Action Alert: Oppose H.R. 5405 and a Social Security/National ID Card | The John Birch Society - Truth, Leadership, Freedom to learn about this beast hitting our congress currently...
There is also SOMark..which invented invisiable ink? Sounds sci-fi doesn't it? Currently it is used in cattle..but would you ever think that we would live in a day where we will see our bible unfolding right before our eyes?
The bible says there will be a day will no one will able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast on their hand or forehead..a cashless society. Wow..and now we have the technology to do just that.

Now see, the Bible says the first thing - but not the thing after your two dots. That's your interpretation. And it's not the only possible one.

Ohhh....

You are correct.  Cashless society is not in the bible.

I remain convinced that when the mark of the Beast is introduced, it will not be in an underhanded way. People will take the loyalty brand with patriotic fervor--some insisting it be placed on their forehead, rather than their hand or wrist.

Why does everyone take this to be a literal physical thing? We are not scowering the depths of the oceans looking a multi headed dragon with horns because we know revelation is a book based on symbolism. So why does everyone seem take this so literal?
I've always thought hands and heads meant thoughts and actions.(Blood on your hands, touched in the head for example)
Might be hard to buy and sell if you are in the gulags or can't get a business license because your thoughts and actions don't support the beast.
Notice it says Right hand.I am not familiar with Jewish custom but in many parts of the mid east the right hand is your "action hand" because the left is (was) used for TP.
Also the mark is the name of the beast. When we refer to people taking the name of Jesus upon themselves we are not referring to those who have a cross tattoo or his name literally. We are speaking of those whose who try to be Christ like in thought and action.Why would the context be different in this situation?
