“And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”

All,
This stands out because John says, “to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark”. Do any of us or do any businesses where a mark that shows we are for something that’s unbiblical? Does it allow us free access to worldly commerce or conversation without being harassed? This verse seems so far fetched, but it also points out where our devotion is. We are all meant to worship and if we don’t worship God, we will fill that hole with something else. Please pray that we and our friends recognize if we are “wearing a mark”. Please pray for George Mori.
