Eternal salvation and Mark of the Beast
As a believer in Christ, nothing can separate us from the mercy of God.
Will the Mark of the beast be something in our hearts? I am confused ?♀️
I’m thinking on the book of 1 Corinthians 5:5 and 1 Corinthians 9:21
It will be something we will very obviously be choosing. It’s not discrete at all.
“and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Revelation 13:17 NKJV

The Mark of the Beast is a real thing.
Preparations are being made now.
Anyone who takes it will be eternally marked and damned.
I think it’s a system you buy into spiritually. It virtually dictates what you think (On the forehead) what you do (on the hand) because you have bought into it so thoroughly. I don’t believe it’s going to be an actual Mark or an actual number placed on the body. I’m not dogmatic about it but I think it’s what it means.
Josie Tiscareno Scripture is clear (Revelation 19) that anyone who takes this mark will be casted into the Lake of fire.
Yet this mark will be SO OBVIOUSLY CLEAR to the world during tribulation, that any true believer who comes to faith in Christ during the tribulation will know what it is and what it will do to them, and they will not get it.
Do not forget, there will be the two witnesses, angelic beings flying overhead, and 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists walking around during the first half of tribulation all giving the gospel. We know now of this mark right now, and tribulation hasnt happened yet. Its not a bad assumption that even after the rapture, people will still know what the mark is.
Do not try to interpret scripture from the context of the culture we live in. This will lead to error. The mark of the beast will be a physical mark not some RFID chip or bar code. Why? Because at the beginning of the Tribulation as the Lord Jesus is breaking the seals on the scroll of destiny, great upheaval and disaster is taking place on the earth. Which means things we take for granted will not be reliable, like electricity. In fact, during the Tribulation the world will regress into a barbaric state. Which is why the battle of Armageddon will be a bloodbath, with blood up to the horses bridles, because horses will be there. So the mark will be a prominent and physical mark. The current corona-virus lock down across the world has me thinking about how many will be coerced into taking the mark. What if, due to current world health conditions, and future ones, no one is allowed to buy or sell, or to participate in any commerce of any kind until they have received a full range of vaccinations, and to prove they are now safe to be in public, they are given a prominent mark on the right hand or forehead. Something like, “Safe to be outside” Or something simple like IVIVIV. Or WWW in Hebrew which means 666. Just something to think about.
Revelation 13:16 ” And he causes all‐————–to teceive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead———–” This is a real mark. Just as we sre sealed by the Holy Spirit at the time of our salvation, this mark is a seal of the antichrist for commerce. Just as Jesus knows we are His, the antichrist will know who are his
During the 7 years of tribulation after the rapture of the church allwho are left here are unsaved. The antichrist will fight for your soul. God is warning in His word not to be fooled by Satan and side with him. God loves us but he doesn’t force us. He lovingly warns us. The time to seek God is now during thd age of Grace and how horrible it will be for us if we are left here after the rapture. The mark of the beast is Satan’s way of forcing control over you. If you reject this control you will be beheaded.
The mark of “The Beast” is an imperial seal, stamp, or tattoo showing they has made sacrifice for the Roman Emperor Nero allowing them to work. The Greek word used, Charagma can also mean coin. 30 years before Revelation was written, the Jews in Palestine coined their own money, so that would be the coin of the realm.
Also, don’t forget tattoos were used with the Nazi’s too.
Tattoos: From at least the time of Augustus, the penal tattoo, which was generally placed on the face or forehead, had been associated with degradation. Such remained the case in late antiquity, and it also becomes clear that the tattoo accompanied a sentence of exile and hard labor, usually in mines or quarries. The deeper meaning of the tattoo and its placement on the forehead is considered in the light of modern understandings. There follows a discussion of the actual form taken by the tattoo, which normally displayed the name of the crime, the name of the emperor, or the name of the punishment. Based on the available data, the last option appears to have been the most common penal tattoo in this period. Finally, the article hypothesizes that the Christians effected a transformation of the tattoo and subverted its original intent, so that, rather than being a sign of punishment, it became a sign of glory in which one could take pride.
I guess I’m confused. Why are you associating a passage with deals with discipline within the church, 1 Cor 5:5, and one which speaks of Paul finding common ground with nonbelievers so they might find salvation, with the mark of the beast?
The mark of the beast is a sign on the right hand or forehead, taken by personal choice, which shows your allegiance to the Antichrist. This will happen during the Tribulation, but can’t happen until the Antichrist is revealed and comes to power as the leader of the one world govt. Once you voluntarily take this mark it is impossible for you to be saved by the blood of Christ because you’ve already demonstrated your loyalty to Satan.
I guess I just don’t understand how or why you are connecting the two scriptures in your OP with the mark of the beast.
The Body of Christ church doesn’t exist in Revelation. We are seated with Christ in Heavenly places. We are not appointed to wrath. The tribulation is Jacob’s Trouble. Not gentiles’ trouble. Jacob is the Nation of Israel.
666 is the number of man, incomplete. It is the same to say man, man, man even if the individual proclaims to be God. Or you can also see it as he’s not God, he’s not God, he’s not God. Remember he is called the anti-Christ and he will speak against Jesus. Ultimately, it will be know by who people serve and worship. Yes, there will be a mark. What the mark is, we don’t really know, but it will be centered in a man and against Christ. The mark will seal a persons identity, brings them under the kingdom of the anti-Christ and give control to the anti-Christ. It will be a choice.
