Now, believe it or not, but most of the
links at the main page at
666mark.htm
are the ones representing a rational, logical argument,
making a good & logical case that the mark of the beast will be a syringe
implantable microchip, or biochip implant.
Note, people in the past thought it was these other things:
-
Some said it was the barcodes.
-
Some said it was visa/mastercard.
-
Some say it was keeping Sunday as the Sabbath.
-
Some have said it refers to the practice of branding slaves to show ownership.
-
Some have thought it referred to pagan religious tattoos designed to show
devotions.
-
Some feel it refers to money, because the image of the emperor was on it.
-
Some feel it refers to the royal seal, which was required in many business
transactions.
-
Some link it to the OT practice (Deut. 6:8) of wearing phylacteries on
the left hand and the forehead.
-
Some have said it is a mockery of the sign of the cross.
-
Some have felt it was a number (like a social security number) that will
be implanted in our hands and foreheads in the future.
-
Some say it's a symbol of what you do (hand) and what you think (forehead)
But, notice how none of the above-mentioned items fully fulfills the scriptural
description.
The links in this next section are not so logical as the
links above. I'll list them, so that you can see the clear difference between
rational thought, and ranting thought. I view the following group of links

All of the above "The Mark is the SABBATH" web-page authors seem to forget
