In the Bible, the words seal, sign, mark, and token are used interchangeably.* I don't understand the mark to be a tattoo, chip, or anything you can see with your eyes. I see the word forehead meaning,* your way of thinking or whats in your mind and the mark on your hand as showing the works you do. Feel free to correct me. Lol

Correct, God's seal or mark is spiritual, and so is the red mark of the beast, which is sin, or a sin nature working in mankind by way of the spirit of this world.

Here is a clip from that study I posted at the beginning of the thread....Understanding the mark, name, and number of the man/beast | Christian Forums

We can come to understand that the mark of the beast is inward and spiritual (in heart and mind) by comparing spiritual things with spiritual as this is how the Holy Spirit teaches us, as is also written.
Notice the description of the mark of the beast is described in the same manner as God's mark, or seal of the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 13:16
And 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:

Now compare the wording above to God's mark, or seal, which is of His Holy Spirit....

Descriptions of God's seal (or mark) by the Spirit.....

Ezekiel 9:4
And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Revelation 7:3
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Revelation 9:4
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Revelation 14:1
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

Revelation 22:4
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Proof that God's seal (mark) and name written in the forehead is spiritual.....

2 Corinthians 1:22
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

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,

Ephesians 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

So by comparing God's seal (mark) we should know and understand that the beasts mark is also spiritual, which is the spirit of the god of this world, their father the Devil working in the hearts and minds of the children of disobedience.

I hope you will take this without malice as well. How can you be so sure the entire senario is about Nero when you don't even know WHICH number to use?

Point taken! I apologize for sounding firm and knowledgable about a very tricky and impossible to solve issue! Nor did I take the time to do any research before I posted. See below!

I should have said, "It might have been about Nero, depending upon which number, or which manuscript is used." Then again, it might have no meaning to us at all, and the early Christians knew what it meant, took it, used it and then went on to follow Jesus and the Great Commission.

My post was more to present the symptoms of some kinds of psychosis, which are evident in the OP's posts.

However, in retrospect, what really freaks me out is the number of people who have engaged him Biblically, trying to prove their conclusions based on more out of context verses! I will bow out now! Having insulted half the people on this thread.

Apologies for that, too!

That is exactly right - thinking and doing. I would add that I think the mark has been around since Cain was marked. Cain came to God CAIN'S way. Count the number 666. 66 + 6 = man adding to the work of Christ or adding to the word of God both of which are pretty much the same thing. That's my take on it.

Here is something some may not have noticed, and that is the number 6 in Revelation 13:18 is only used 1 time, and has a dual meaning.

Notice the last number 6 G5516--->>> Here 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. G5516

Now notice the number 6 G1803 is a different 6 used in other parts of the NT....


Strong's Number G1803 matches the Greek ἕξ (hex),six [SUP]G1803[/SUP]

That word stigma, or six. G5516 in Rev 13:18 is an obsolete letter, which can also be translated as mark

Notice....The ἄγαμος (G22)d, ἀγαθοεργέω (G14)th and an obsolete letter (4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the ἀββα (G5)th and Ἄβελ (G6)th), used as numbers.

If you search that obsolete letter G4742 you get this hit here....


The KJV translates Strong's G4742 in the following manner: mark (1x).

Here is the Bible definition of the word.....

στίγμα stígma, stig'-mah; from a primary στίζω stízō (to "stick", i.e. prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), i.e. (figuratively) scar of service:—mark.

"a mark pricked in or branded upon the body. To ancient oriental usage, slaves and soldiers bore the name or the stamp of their master or commander branded or pricked (cut) into their bodies to indicate what master or general they belonged to, and there were even some devotee's who stamped themselves in this way with the token of their gods"

So in the spiritual sense you can see below how you are marked by the Master whom you serve--->>>

That's mostly original work/research from myself.

The original concept came from Pastor Mike Hoggard, though my conclusions are slightly different, which is perfectly fine.

As long as we are meditating and searching out the matter, I'm happy with differing opinions.

Without parables Christ, the living word of God spoke not . Hiding the spiritual understanding frpm the lost.

Everything in the temple place of worship was used a a metaphors in respect to different aspects of His gospel program .They were needed to speak of the glory of Christ beforehand, just as we look back.

We walk by faith not after the molecules that make up the rudiments of this world. You will not find God in a science lab.They are still working on the missing bones theory. Its still missing even after adding millions of years.

Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

But we do not know Christ after shadows and types used until the time of refomation as ceremonial laws .

In fact we do not know Him after anything a person can find in a since lab as rudiments of this world and neither do we know Christ, the Holy Spirit of God , after the different schools of the philosophies of men .His word is law not theory.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

That is exactly right - thinking and doing. I would add that I think the mark has been around since Cain was marked. Cain came to God CAIN'S way. Count the number 666. 66 + 6 = man adding to the work of Christ or adding to the word of God both of which are pretty much the same thing. That's my take on it.

The Holy Spirit is referred to as the “deposit,” “seal,” and “earnest” in the hearts of Christians (2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5; Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30). The Holy Spirit is God’s seal on His people.

If the Holy Spirit is God's seal, wouldn't* the seal or mark of the beast be the opposite of the Holy Spirit or is there a such thing?

That's how I see it too. This statement will be controversial lol, but the more I read the bible the more I see the Holy Spirit as being the written word of God or the Spirit of Truth.... not saying that's true but I am leaning that way. In that view the opposite of the Holy Spirit would be MAN's version of the word.

What are your thoughts on the opposite of the Holy Spirit? I think the right hand is more revealing than the forehead in that the right hand can be seen by the world.

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

It is shown used one time where I believe Paul used it here in the physical sense...."From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks [SUP]G4742[/SUP] of the Lord Jesus."

But I am convinced by the Holy Spirit that the mark of the beast and the seal of God is inward (heart/mind/spirit), and is spiritual as shown in my earlier post.

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

What are your thoughts on the opposite of the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, so the opposite of that is the spirit of a lie or spirit of antichrist, which is called "it."

Here is a old post I made on that---->>>> http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/128000-spirit-gives-voice-horns.html

 

[dcontroversal]

It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

Receive-->

Revelation 13:16 1325 Strong's-->DIDOMI to GIVE, BESTOW, bring forth, receive

Revelation 14:9 2983 Strong's-->LABANO to take to oneself, obtain, seize, to receive

Both verbs................ACTION.........!

Some will be forced, some will take willingly....

The fact that some are FORCED means.........................!

On another note:

We need more Christian's to create solid theories and explanations from biblical sources to keep up with a demanding scientific world.

But remember treat theory with the respect and scrutiny any good theorists would desire.

(Theory doesn't mean truth)

ok

What is the practicle application of this? Is the mark pricked or branded in the body?

My two cents..

Not a literal mark as if we walked by sight and did wrestle against flesh and blood .

To be pricked is one of the spiritual expressions of a thorn piercing if you would ,dead flesh. Pricked can also be the result of a bee scorpion sting. It is used as part of mark or pattern of natural unconverted man. (666) the mark of Cain . No sensitivity to the gospel

Strong’s lexicon 2759 kentron {ken'-tron}from kenteo (to prick); TDNT - 3:663,427; n nAV - sting 3, prick 2; 5 1) a sting, as that of bees, scorpions, locusts. Since animals wound by their sting and even cause death, Paul attributes death, personified as a sting, i.e. a deadly weapon 2) an iron goad, for urging on oxen, horses and other beasts of burden 2a) hence the proverb, "to kick against the goad", i.e. to offer vain and dangerous or damaging resistance

Another metaphor like the 666 that speaks of the same as those who resist the power of the gospel. It would be that men called lukewarm they are neither hot nor cold, which could be an indication of a mouth of the fool as those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come and fell away to the side of the road having no ground to plant the incorruptible seed. Better things accompany salvation the redemption of man’s soul . I think Hebrews aids us on the understanding of how pricks and thorns are used.

Heb 6:7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

Drinking in the rain is a metaphor for receiving the gospel, the water of the word. Rain is used to represent the doctrines of God .

Deuteronomy 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

Herbs represent those who receive the gospel.

Heb 6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

Bearing thorns represent resisting the gospel not being sensitive to the cleaning power of the word.

Heb 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

To be pricked also brings in another metaphor used throughout the scriptures as leprosy .The disease of no sensitivity to pain to represent the condition of natural man (666) Dead in his trespasses and sins without hope and without God . I think you could say as the parable found below .I will offer a couple examples to help get more familiar on the use of thorns and pricks.

Proverbs 26:9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.

Isaiah 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Ezekiel 28:24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Hosea 10:8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

Micah 7:4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.

Below (2Corinthians 12:7) I believe it is shown to be used as a tool to humble the believer, as in if you eat to much honey we will lose the little or none we think we have. You could say self edification.

Pro 24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

Proverbs 25:16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

2Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

The thorn in Paul’s side represents the pride of man. The messenger of Satan loosed for a season as a result of a person losing the peace of God and being called back to repentance by doing the first works of the Spirit in us “believe God”. Seeing it is the work of God, not of our own selves that we can believe on him whom he has sent.

1John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

The thorn again speaks of those who resists the gospel like Paul in pride on the road to Damascus.

Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

The beast's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind,but mankind can solve their own problems by their technology,and devices.

The mark is something that has to cut down on crime,identification of the person,and one world economic system.

The thing that makes sense is something like a microchip linked to satellite.If a crime happens in an area they will know who was in the area,and how close they were to the crime scene,and can identify the person,and all information about them including financial records,when the chip is scanned,with a picture of them on computer.

Hello garee,

Not a literal mark as if we walked by sight and did wrestle against flesh and blood.

There is no need to try to force a symbolic/spiritual meaning to the coming mark. I have been watching the evolution of this from the appearing of the first ATM's, followed by the universal product code (UPC), to the Point of Sale system (POS), utilizing the Verifone device.

The system that the mark will run on is already in place and has been for some time, which is the electronic crediting and debiting system (buying and selling). As the world continues towards the emergence of the antichrist/beast, Cash and checks will continue to be phased out as more and more people begin to utilize and depend on electronic crediting and debiting via card swiping, cell phone bank apps, etc.

Currently, businesses in Sweden are already implanting employees with chip implants, which will allow them, among other things, to make purchases. This technology will continue to evolve leading up to the revealing of that anithchrist.

Scripture states that the false prophet will "force all people great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on the right hand or forehead and except anyone had the mark, they would not be able to buy or sell." I believe that the way in which people will be forced to receive the mark, will not be by physical force, but by removing the other methods of buying and selling, leaving only that mark which will allow individuals to electronically credit and debit their bank accounts.

The word "mark" is translated from (charagma" which is defined as, properly, an engraving (etching); (figuratively) a mark providing undeniable identification, like a symbol giving irrefutable connection between parties). The reader has to understand that regarding this mark, John is seeing visions of future technology of which he has nothing whatsoever to compare to from his time frame. For example John could not say "He forces all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a chip implant in the right hand or forehead and except anyone had this implant, they would not be able to credit and debit their bank accounts electronically." The closest that John can come to describing what he saw was an impress, engraving, stamp, branding, etc.

That fact that people are already being implanted just as scripture states and that for the sake of electronic crediting and debiting, is undeniable proof of a literal interpretation for the mark. This technology will continue to evolve as we near the time of the revealing of that antichrist. Please click on the following:

Right on! The only thing that I would add is that, the word used in Rev.13:16 is not "stigma" but "charagma" -a stamp, impress, which sounds pretty close to stigma.
