“Clearly anyone who thinks the mark spoken of in Rev. 13:16,17 is a computer chip is preaching the gospel according to the New York Times.”

I wonder if the same people who take literally the “mark” also take literally the “seal” of God. I mean it would be consistent, at least:

Revelation 7:3: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

To be honest with you ... it's not something that keeps me up at night. As I mentioned before Revelation is full of symbolism. I'd rather not speculate when it could be symbolic of something other than a numeric tattoo of some sort.

I’m concerned with my FReeper friends who don’t take the Bible literally and won’t be prepared when the time comes. I believe God has sealed his true believers and this will also be known in the time of the end.
