WLTx this is an area i have a lot of time into.
i am not entirely sure of what the mark will be, though the implant seems like a good candidate. this site discusses Chi-Xi-Stigma quite well.
i believe the mark, though economic in nature must also verify worship (a mark of ownership) when it is enforced by the son of perdition - i personally suspect it will somehow incorporate the star of chiun/remphan.
Amos 5:6
But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Acts 7:43
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Verichip and 666 - Epi, Charagma, and Chi-Xi-Stigma
There are many people out there pointing to microchips like the Verichip to fit the role of the
Mark of the Beast. Most of the time Biblical evidence to support such claims is lacking. One may even begin to think that such support doesn't exist. But if we look closely at the Greek words directly associated with the Mark of the Beast, such as
Epi,
Charagma, and
Chi-Xi-Stigma, it becomes clear that Biblical support for such a mark is very strong.
Epi - Looking into the Language of Revelation
One of the most common claims against a microchip implant is that the Mark of the Beast is supposed to be "on" the hand or forehead and not "in" the hand or forehead. Does Revelation Revelation 13:16, Revelation 14:9-10, and Revelation 20:4 refer to a mark
in the body or
on the body?
The overwhelming majority of translations opt for on. In fact, all modern versions use "on". I've come across only two translations that side with in; the much beloved King James Version, and Webster's Bible (translated by Noah Webster of Webster's Dictionary fame.)
It's not easy to discard the work of the 54 scholars that painstakingly translated the KJV by committee
[1] as well as the work of the wordsmith Noah Webster, a man who single handedly wrote his own dictionary
[2]. It would be foolish to write off such dedication in favor of modern translations that exist solely to make a buck.
According to James Strong
[3], both "in" and "on" are valid translations of the Greek word
epi. Epi's many definitions include "into", "in a place", and "among", all of which perfectly describe the placement of modern day RFID implants such as Applied Digital Solution's Verichip. The Verichip is easily injected "into" the body "in a place", the hand or forehead, and remains "among" the flesh.
Strong's definition of "among" really starts to make sense when one considers the patented
BioBond [4] coating that enables the surrounding tissues to fuse with an otherwise smooth glass capsule. BioBond was a solution to the problem of RFID microchips migrating when implanted under the skin of household pets. This coating makes the
Verichip implant very difficult to remove without surgery and is what makes it "stick". In other words, like the
Verichip, the Mark of the Beast is likely to stay once implanted.
The Greek word for mark is
charagma. Strong's Concordance defines charagma as "a scratch or etching", "a badge of servitude", "graven", and finally "mark"
[5]. Strong's also notes that charagma is directly related to the Greek word
charax, which means "to sharpen to a point" and "a stake"
[6].
From these definitions we get a clear picture of a surface being pierced by a sharp point, or the act of using a tool to engrave. The relationship between the Mark of the Beast (charagma) and a syringe that pierces the skin is obvious. It's also been noted that a microchip is etched or engraved during it's production
[7].
The definitions of charagma — coupled with the fact that the Verichip is injected using a specialized syringe — make it clear that the Mark of the Beast could very well be a microchip injected into the hand.
The earliest use of the word
Charagma outside of the Bible describes the piercing bite of a snake. There's a disturbing connection between the piercing serpent Satan (Isaiah 27:1), the "bite of the serpent" (charagma), and a syringe-injectable microchip like the Verichip. I challenge you to think of something that resembles a syringe more closely than the fang of a snake!
The book of Amos mentions the day of the Lord and a serpent bite to the hand in consecutive verses. This may foreshadow the Mark of the Beast in the last days.
Amos 5:18-19
- Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
- As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
There's an important warning in verse 18 about desiring the last days. Even though we may recogize the signs of the end times we should in no way desire or try to hasten them because they are full of pain and suffering. Consider the following:
Ecclesiastes 10:8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
A hedge symbolizes protection, so let God take care of you! It may prove to be a blessing to give your life rather than accept the bite of the serpent, the charagma, the Mark of the Beast.
A Grievous Sore
As noted above, one of the definitions of Charagma is
graven. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines graven as follows: "1. To sculpt or carve; engrave. 2. To stamp or impress deeply; fix permanently."
With permanence in mind let's consider Revelation 16:2. What is a noisesome and grievous sore? Obviously this type of sore would cause a person much anguish and grief, but could it be that the grievous sore not only causes grief but is
caused by grief?
Body modification and self inflicted wounds are now commonplace among a restless generation. Imagine for a moment that someone has finally accepted that they have a mark in their body that will **** them to an eternal firey hell.
What's the first thing they'd try to do? Remove it of course! And they'd go to extreme measures to do so. It would become a grievous sore. Click the image to see a video clip depicting this scenario. This is a grievous sore indeed (not for the faint of heart). And that microchip looks exactly like the Verichip, only a little bigger!
Now consider the words of Jesus in Mark 9:43 and Matthew 18:9 where He speaks about removing your hand or eye rather than burn in Hell. Are Jesus' words spiritual or prophetic? Maybe both.
Ever heard of eyeball jewellery?
[8] How easy would it be to implant a Verichip under the outer layer of tissue on the back of your eyeball? That sounds scary, but has probably already been done. So would that chip be "in" the eyeball or "on" the eyeball? Does that fit the description of the forehead? Possibly.
Chi-Xi-Stigma Six Hundred Threescore and Six 666
Much like the original authors, the Biblical scholars of the King James Bible (KJV) chose to spell out the number 666 -
Six hundred threescore and six. This is one of the rare exceptions in the Bible where words are used rather than numbers to describe a numeric value. God inspired these men to spell it out - Six hundred threescore and six - so that we can gain a further understanding of the
Mark of the Beast.
Interestingly, spelling out 666 in words accurately preserves the original use of the Greek language. If we look at the Greek we see that 666 is presented with three words: Chi - Xi - Stigma.
The numeric values of these three Greek letters add up to 666. Strong's Concordance gives
stigma the following definition: "to 'stick' ... a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership) ... mark." With the definitions of stick, incised, punched, and mark, stigma is very close to the definition of
charagma.
Stigma and charagma both support the idea of a syringe injectable microchip like the Verichip. Stigma has also made it into the English language where it's defined as "a mark of infamy or disgrace," there's an obvious carryover from its use in Revelation.
There's another notable correlation between the Verichip and 666, Chi-Xi-Stigma. One of the earliest public faces of Applied Digital Solutions was Digital Angel. Due to the alarming character of the technology it was quickly discovered that the Digital Angel logo contained a hidden but obvious 666
[9]. See the image below and also note the light that is centered on the forehead.

Digital Angel isn't the only product with a name or logo that links to 666. The connection between 666 and acquired products seems to have become a trend for Applied Digital Solutions' Verichip Corporation. If nothing else they add to the mounting evidence revealing the nature of the Mark of the Beast and 666. It's hard to write these off as mere coincidence.
A recent acquisition by Applied Digital Solutions is eXI Wireless. Remember that Xi is the 60 in 666. Another purchase is Xmark (who's products include WatchMate and Hugs.) The similarities are obvious. Also worth mentioning is Somark Innovations, a company that manufactures invisible RFID ink used to tattoo cattle for tracking
[10].
Token of Perdition
While the Mark of the Beast and 666 are disgraceful to God and most Christians, they won't be to the average man. The Mark will eventually be commonplace because of its close relationship to
money, identification, and commerce. Where any of these are found security is close by.
In English one of the more intriguing definitions of stigma is "token." Anyone familiar with digital security will recognize a token as a physical device that's used to gain various levels of access
[11]. That's exactly what the Verichip is. Security is huge when it comes to commerce, and security will play a large role in selling the Mark of the Beast.
The following news excerpts demonstrate the welcoming of such a security token.
Ultimately, the ideal solution for merchants will be a reader that is based on an open standard and capable of accepting each card's contactless token. The convergence of contactless payment
"I wanted to get chipped," he says. "It's entirely up to me what I put on my chip, I've been involved with authentication for 20 years, working with biometrics, and I was promoting the token. Now I am the token." RFID is literally getting under people's skin
Like the Verichip, a security token almost always carries a unique number on it. One must wonder if this somehow relates to 666, the "number of his name" (Revelation 13:17-18, Revelation 15:2).
Even though Xi and Chi don't have outright definitions like Stigma does, they still provide some insight into the Mark. Chi is depicted as an uppercase X and is used to symbolize Christ
[12]. This possibly hints at the Antichrist's likening to a lamb with two horns (Revelation 13:11), refering to his probable Christian facade or promises of peace (Leviticus 23:19).
Many Eastern traditions hold that Chi is an internal energy flow. While this is a spiritual belief, it's still an interesting fact that future versions of the Verichip will run on an internal energy source.
The shape of Xi as written in Greek shares a close likeness to a curled up snake ready to strike. This is another hint to Charagma as the bite of a serpent. Stigma also resembles a serpent that is coiled and ready to strike. And as noted by one of our readers, the antenna in the Verichip is a coil of wire.
Conclusion
Charagma, epi, and xi-chi-stigma (666) all have very important meanings. After studying the Greek words its easy to see that the Mark of the Beast is closely related to implants like the Verichip. We must honestly weigh all the evidence when considering this possibilty, it's much more than just coincidence and hype so take heed.
Mark 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
