The spiritual mark

Spiritual mark

Many people believe that the mark of the beast is going to be a microchip put in the hand and or in the forehead. That could be forced on the people through starvation or pandemics.

But it is possible that the mark is not something that is surgically put under the skin or in the forehead but rather a spiritual mark that appears under the skin and cannot be removed, more like magic or curse.

The three rulers during the time of the beast system in the gentile nations are the Devil, the beast and the false prophet. These three all have inside of them an unclean spirit that can do miracles.

(Revelation of John 16:13-14 [KJV])
 [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
 [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

So since these unclean spirits have the power to work miracles. That is probably how the head wound is healed.

(Revelation of John 13:3 [KJV]) And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Since they can work miracles its also possible that the marks that appear on the peoples hands and foreheads are spiritual marks. That is they are not something that can be cleaned away and they are not something that are put there surgically. But rather they just appear when someone becomes loyal to the beast system or worships the beast.

Similarly to how Cains countenance fell when he became angry at God.

Genesis 4:5 (KJV)  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Weapons

This would be in line with that roman era weapons are used in the end times.

(Micah 4:1-3 [KJV])
 [1] But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
 [2] And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
 [3] And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

So we see here in Micah 4 that they have swords and spears as weapons. These are roman era weapons that do not need a spark to function. They do not need electricity to function. Neither do they need silicon and aluminium. Neither do they need petrol or diesel to function.

(Revelation of John 18:13 [KJV]) And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

We see in the book of revelation that they have as vehicles horses and chariots. These are also roman era. They don't need modern things to function like aluminium, advanced electronics, diesel, petrol, lithium batteries etc.

Some people believe that it was written like this because it was written long ago, during the time that horses were used as vehicles. But it says that the scripture cannot be broken.

(John 10:35 [KJV]) If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

So I believe that if it says horses and not tanks and cars then they mean horses. The same with chariots and swords and bows etc.

(Ezekiel 39:9-10 [KJV])
 [9] And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
 [10] So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

The fact that the rider on the white horse has a bow in Rev 6:2 could suggest though that the weapons should be taken symbolically, not literally. Since it seems as if the white horse rider has already started riding and we don't have roman era weapons now.

(Revelation of John 6:2 [KJV]) And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Darkness that may be felt

So why this going back to roman era weapons? One explanation is that God will release the darkness that could be felt during the end times.

(Exodus 10:21 [KJV]) 
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

Ok so this darkness can be felt. Well maybe its a cold damp feeling. Either way it could mean that it is impossible to create a spark. So electricity, engines and modern vehicles and weapons would not work.

If you think that this cannot happen in the end times only at the time of Egypt, the two witnesses will have power to smite the earth with all plagues. So they could be the once doing this.

Revelation 11:6 (KJV)  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Another explanation is that these end times occur when the earths natural resources have been so diminished that there is no aluminium left and neither oil and natural case and silicon and lithium. So people have gone back to using horses as vehicles and swords as weapons. But I think that this is less likely.

So possibly the darkness that may be felt will be around in the end times and in that case it will not be possible to use microchips and the internet as a mark of the beast system.

So it is possible that this mark is a spiritual mark that appears on people, during the period of the beast and the false prophet, when they have worshiped the beast and then cannot be removed.
