“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years” (Revelation 20:4).
It is clear from this passage that those who refuse the mark will suffer death by beheading, but will ultimately be rewarded greatly by Christ for their sacrifice.
It has been speculated through the decades that the mark will be something like an etching or a tattoo which, once inscribed, cannot be removed, providing a permanent identification as a follower of “the beast” and the dragon. However, with the advent of the electronic technology we have seen over the past few years, I feel it is more likely the “mark” will be a computer chip – implanted in the hand or forehead. This microchip could then be scanned conveniently by a hand-held electronic device. This computer chip, combined with a scanner connected master computer, will immediately credit or debit the person’s account who is buying or selling goods or services.
Jesus is coming soon to rapture the church give your life to Him now and receive eternal life and be rapturable to escape the impending Great Tribulation.
shalom!
