The mark of the beast is already here, but many have it unwittingly, as it is not a literal mark to be received, no different than the mark received on "foreheads" of the 144,000 chosen, so it is a figurative mark, just as many of the other figurative symbols in Revelation. Obviously before identifying the mark, you must first identify who the "beast of the earth" in Revelation is, that gives this mark. It is said that you cannot buy or sell unless you have three things,
If you carefully piece together all the visions of the beasts in Revelation along with the visions and timings and the beasts of Daniel, you would have arrived that the beast of the earth in Revelation is the United States. A mark designates ownership, and also thoughts, "forehead" and actions, "right hand", so what thing in America enslaves its people that preoccupies much of their time and thoughts to serve the one issuing the mark? Its debt. And what is all issued debt in America given from that is supplied by the government to the rich and poor, small and great? The social security number. The social security is a financial system based on usury, as all insurance programs are a form of usury that is evil according to scripture,
"Detestable practice" is translated also as an "abomination". And from this usurious financial program that is forced upon the people, then stem various forms of debts and other usurious financial instruments - health insurance, life insurance, pension programs, annuities, mortgages, auto loans, credit cards... all manner of abominations to steal and to enslave. And using these instruments, is then how the mark of the beast is used to buy and sell, which is leveraging debt to acquire possessions.
So any involvement into paying into the social security program or receiving benefits and involvement in any form of debt or financial instrument of usury is having the mark of the best. Now, the number of the beast, is something else, which can be used to buy and sell as well. The number of the beast is the banking system, as it is a system of numbers, where mere numbers are used to transact. This form of trading is also evil as it involves associating oneself with the money lenders putting into practice all these forms of usury.
And the last way to buy and sell is using the name of the beast. Of the three ways to buy and sell, this one does not bear the penalty of the judgment of fire as do the other two. Buying and selling in the name of the beast is using "paper money" to transact, as paper money does not have a value of itself, except what value the government says it has and prints on the paper. So, when trading using paper money, you are in fact trading in the name of the United States and its backing and promise that the piece of paper has value.
