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.”
When the Antichrist rises to power, his device to control the activities of the people of his vast dominion will be to force every person to register and receive a brand which will identify him or her as a loyal citizen of the world kingdom. This registration “mark” will be worldwide.
No one will be exempted, no matter how wealthy or how eminent their status.
Registration centers will have to be set up in every community, and people will be instructed to report for registration and marking on or before a certain date.
The nature of the mark is not described in Scripture, but the basic principle of being able to mark and track every individual, and to document his or her every financial transaction, is now well established.
The social security card, the draft registration card, the practice of stenciling an inked design on the back of the hand, and various other devices are all forerunners of this universal branding system.
shalom!
