The Mark of the Beast - 666 or 616?

Revelation 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:

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.

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.

Regardless if the number was 666 or 616, it will be a mark that one can only buy & sell by during the great tribulation.

The consequence for taking that mark to buy & sell in order to survive in the coming New World Order is the lake of fire.

Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

They are using a biochip in Europe to buy & sell BUT it is not the mark of the beast yet until that mark becomes the only means to buy & sell in the coming New World Order.

 

So what you're telling us, ky, is that God allowed a lie to exist in His Word.

That would mean that God has the power to speak the universe into existence, but He doesn't have the power to keep His Word pure for us down through the centuries.

There are some apparent mistakes in the Scripture, over the centuries most of them have been explained, but some still exist. I can show you some of them along with the one you have presented.

It's just a matter of time before the existing ones will be explained, unless the Lord returns first.

If we can't trust God's Word to be pure by faith, then let's just chunk it in the can and forget about it.

Not trying to start an argument, just my 2 cents worth on the matter.

 

IF, ky, if God allows for the mark of the beast to be 666 in Scripture, but it's actually 616.

What would we call that?

It's a matter of trusting God that His Word is pure and faultless.

This goes for anything or anywhere we may place doubt on the authenticity of the Bible.

Professors and various nay-sayers are continuously throwing fault at the Scripture.

I'm not trying to get into an argument, just pointing out that their supposed errors don't exist.

 

That's fine. No matter what I say my point will not be understood.

I'll just let it go.
