The Book of Revelation is of the prophecy of the Christ of God who will come after the 7 year ordained tribulation to bring in the His millennial rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in the nation of Israel.These two verses speak of the anti christ and the mark of worship all humankind must wear in order to buy or sell anything including food during this time of Gods 21 judgments on the earth. If one takes the mark, he is damned of God for worshiping the anti christ as God. You ought not to change the meaning of the Word of God lest your soul be endangered of hell fire as God does warn those who make a mock of His Holy Word.

Revelation 13:

13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

There was a committee that determined what books were in the Bible. Revelation was a problem because it seemed important it had been submitted. But.......no one could agree on what it said or meant. It got grandfathered in
