I want to know what the mark of the beast is ? And Who is the antichrist ? I have a idea of it and who it is so if you can tell me I would appreciate it so I can have Bible studies with friends and family ho wants to learn and grow in the Bible.
As Jacqui said there is a lot out there. The mark we see in Rev. 13 is a mark, or the name of the beast, or the number 666 in their right hand, or in their foreheads. This will not be a mystery at the time, people will not accidentally take it they will take it willingly.
My understanding: the hour of temptation, not taken out, but strengthened to go through, Rev. 3:10 and 2 Thess. 2:7-12 corresponds with the false prophet, by miracles, great wonders, and power was given him in the sight of the beast causing people to take the mark and worship the beast or be killed. A similar thing was done by Decian during the persecution in 250 AD. Instead of a mark, it was a signed and witnessed certificate, that people had to sacrifice to the Roman gods or else.
The number 666, many apply to people, Popes, and other things. This number goes way back in history, it is tied to false god worship, Paganism worship of the hosts of heaven, astrology, the 36 groups of stars, and when added 1+2+3 up to 36 = 666.
The word antichrist, many teachings and millions of dollars have been made on this word. It is in the Bible in 1 John 2:18,221 John 4:3 and 2 John 1:7 and according to John, there are billions of antichrists in the world not just one. It is also associated with the man of sin, the son of perdition in 2 Thes. 2:3. What is interesting is perdition has the same meaning as the name of the king the angel of the bottomless pit, destruction, Rev. 9.
In Revelation, there is the dragon (Satan), a beast, a false prophet, and the mystery Babylon the great. Satan is cast down and out of heaven permanently Rev. 12, he gives his seat power and authority to the beast, Rev. 13 we see this beast ascends out of the bottomless pit, Rev. 11:7Rev. 17:8. The beast is given 42 months (3.5 years), not 7.
A study of this will carry you all over the Bible. Rev. jumps, what I mean, is parts of the same event will be in another chapter.
I imagine that if everyone on here answered your question you wouldn't get two answers the same . All I can do is tell you what I think and im very willing to admit that I could be way off the mark here . For me , the mark of the beast is something to do with technology of some kind . The letters V & W are interchangeable in Hebrew and they are the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet 666 could be w w w world wide web . At this time it seems very likely to me that the anti Christ is Russia and its allies . The beast that was wounded but then recovered ? The fall of Soviet Russia in its communist state in the 1990's and it's re emergence as a global super power . I am in no measure dogmatic about this and just like you I would love to know what others think . If anyone else is willing to put themselves on the line and say what they think it would be great to here about it .
The first verse in Revelation tells us that Revelation is the revealing of Jesus Christ, so the beast is not technology.
The prophecies have the answers to Revelation and all the symbols.
Daniel 7:17 These great beast, which are four, are four kings .....
Daniel 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast ......
Daniel 7:23 ....the forth beast shall be the forth kingdom on the earth .....
Daniel 7:22 Until the ancient of days (Christ) come ......
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John, since that time the KINGDOM of God (the forth kingdom on earth) is preached, and every man PRESSES INTO IT.
The beast in Revelation is the Kingdom of God .....CHRIST IN YOU .....
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his (the beast, the kingdom of God) heads as it were wounded to death (Christ died on the cross); and his deadly wound was healed (Christ was resurrected), and all the world wondered after the beast (the kingdom of God).
Wow , thank you Earl , I shall be reading Revelation soon and I shall keep your comments in mind when I do . I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't received many answers to my question . I know it's a tough one but I would love to hear people's opinions , I hope that we are not scared of saying what we think in case we make fools of ourselves . I was a bit nervous about putting my ideas out there in case people thought I was stupid/ crazy but I'm glad I took a chance , if I hadn't done so I wouldn't have got your interesting response , thanks again , I guess we are the brave ones !

This makes a lot of sense to me.

God Bless You.
