I googled what the mark of the beast actually is because I had the same exact thought. I asked God to reveal it to me on my plane ride home and these were my exact thoughts. It’s symbolic, you can see it in people and feel it, I’ve felt it in myself before. I know it’s always possible to come back to Him.

Beautiful and correct to a point. the mark of the beast is literal just like the fruit Eve took was fruit from a type of tree. it was not symbolic. Neither is the mark. to be blunt , some scripture should be taken bluntly. The mark will cause many, many, of the saints to fall away from the “CHURCH” It will be the cause of a great sifting among the members and will separate those who have the “oil in their lamps” and those who do not. yes, i believe it may be a type of tech. it will not be the technology itself that is so evil but the author and true meaning {in the fine print} of the particular agreement and sweeping technology. There is much more to be said and shared about this but always remember the Lord through his prophet will warn and council us on this then it will be up to each of us to follow the prophet. To follow him in this regard will be done by those who are truly in tune to the spirit. May we all be “in tune”.

I’ve always thought the beast spoken of represents Rome. Wouldn’t that dictate that a mark attributed to Rome would be more than worldliness? I would argue that the cross and the worship of this emblem, giving it superstitious powers, represents the mark. Opinions?

In reply to Abby Christianson. To comment on the mark of the beast I think it would only be reasonable to look at a larger context. Yes the prophetic word speaks of a marking of the people. This could be literal or this could be symbolic. It’s not that far-fetched when we consider the cataloguing of people in concentration camps during World War II. One thing that can’t be ignored about this beast system that will exist is that it is a system of global commerce and absolute submission to this System is required for survival. If a person does not yield to the will of this beast, they will be excluded from the system, and they will not be able to buy or sell or trade. The Bible says people who refuse to be a part of this will die. That is really more significant than whether it is a symbolic mark or an actual physical mark. Physically it could be a digital tattoo or an implantable RFID Chip. Or it may be more subtle and nuanced. But the commercial side of it can’t be ignored, nor can the global nature. Never before in history could such a system exist as we are in now, especially with the potential of changing currencies over to digital currency‘s and just the far reaching power that the corporate world has now over people. I’m not saying anything good or bad about vaccines, but the vaccine passport is an interesting scenario. Unless you have one you may not be able to work, and maybe we might see it come down to people not even be able to have a bank account unless they have the vaccine passport. So this Scenario is not so far out of reach, or that deep into the realm of fantasy. It’s right at the door. There may be people in our society who could get completely sidelined and rejected because they’re refusing to comply with something that is being enforced on a global scale.

Also, Ensign 1983 stated … The followers of this beast are sealed in their foreheads to mark their allegiance.

How do you explain the part that says “will RECEIVE the Mark”?

I don’t believe it’s as simple as being symbolic, although the symbolic actions can lead to the choice to take the literal mark with no thought. The scriptures are also literal too… as literal as they were able to explain these things that were foreign to them. There is technology that is still being introduced that will lead up to the mark of the beast… The spirit of the antichrist and mark os already here but it will manifest physically too.

In reply to Sharon Marsoun. I agree, It occurred to me this year regarding “the mark of the beast ie the devil” that it is something literal. This year I was watching a documentary about negative effects of a cell phone and all the things that go with it including texting, social media and ease of banking and shopping especially on children and teens. At that moment, I felt that was it! I picked up my own cell phone and flipped it over to see the Apple with the bite out of it.

I think you’re on the right track! I’ve been podering this lately as well. My thoughts and study have led me towards similar conclusions. God wants a righteous, humble people. To be righteous and humble (or at least striving towards that) is to have the mark of God upon our foreheads. What is the opposite of that? Sin and pride!
