Is This The Mark Of The Beast? | Revelation Explained

_________________________________________________

According to the Book of Revelation, we are told that we can “And [the beast] causes all people, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, that they give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and that no one was able to buy or to sell except the one who had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16–17)

But what exactly is this mark going to look like?

Will it be a tattoo on our foreheads? A computer chip placed on our arms?
Someone’s actual named affixed to our body? Will we know it when we see it? Or is there a hidden meaning in all of this that prophesies something we could never even imagine?

For centuries, people have asked these questions, wondering when these things will happen and how we can prevent them. And I’m going to address all of these questions and more in this episode of Beyond the Words.

Wonderful, teaching Brandon! If we try to understand the Book of Revelation with a 'western ' mindset it wouldn't make sense. Thank you!

[mikenixon]

This is something I've wondered and wanted to avoid. I never wanted to be tricked into taking a mark of the beast. Thank you for the Biblical explanation.

[tomashaggard]

I am excited that I found your channel. You have taught me so much

[pxsvcgl]

Thank you Pastor Brandon for teaching on this!! I’ve always been confused about this topic— as I want to have a clear biblical understanding about it!! Your insights are greatly appreciated!! Sending love and prayers to you, LeeAnn and your beautiful children!!🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍

Gods people are sealed by The Holy Spirit. Weare already marked by Christ.

[DRossi_]

Thank you Brandon for sharing your knowledge with us.

One problem:
Nero was dead when John wrote Revelation.
So the number cannot be referring to Nero.

[denisestacey]

It's a spiritual mark, what you do with your hand, forehead is what you believe. A political & spiritual beast system. Submission. etc.

[wendellhoward]

Brandon, thank you again for another informative and excellent lesson.
I believe the rapture was first taught by the American Puritans in the 1600s. Then many novelists started using the rapture as the background for their novels.
Now that premillennialism is prevalent in American Christianity, it’s causing a lot of extra anxiety for our brothers and sisters. I hope lessons like these will comfort them.
Once we all get to heaven we’ll understand God’s great plan.

[biblicaltruth]

Finally someone who knows what is going on. Amen with this proper interpretation

[Turn-The-Other-Cheek-Kings]

Remember, Gods chosen people get marked FIRST . 😊

This was so confusing. Will there not be a mark during the tribulation? I don’t get it?

[rosalindfeemster]

Wow..great message. Understanding Revelations is not as complicated as it once was. Thank you

[rogerbarrett]

Thank you brandon, i agree, you couldn't have made it more obvious.

Those saying that all of Revelation has already happened… how about Rev Chap 8? When did that happen?

I think many things could have dual prophecies like Isaiah. John may have been writing and referencing current events - but it is also intended to tell us of a coming reality.

Revelation 8 sounds like an asteroid striking the planet and killing a ton of people. I don’t remember that happening in John’s time

[paulinerichter]

Another excellent teaching, Brandon - thank you!

[tonibailey]

Amen Brandon! You are exactly right! Thank you for this very powerful teaching! I appreciate it. You do a fantastic job!
Sadly, there are people who are making money off of fear mongering through books, such as left behind!

[charlesrichardson]

Love the video Brandon! I grew up with the theology of a pre-Trib rapture and anti christ and the mark of the beast; it’s pretty enlightening to learn that most of revelation has already occurred based on the Roman’s persecution under Nero. I’d love to see a video from you about the next half and the prophesies that have yet to be fulfilled!

[glenlafitte]

How in the world did you gain so much knowledge on biblical studies? Phenominel....
