CORP/BIZ Amazon Wants To Turn Your Hand Into a Credit Card...

I have. Many times. So have others. It falls on deaf ears. So feel free to :hof:
No offense, but that sounds like a cop-out to me. I literally have no idea what you're talking about. I do know that in Revelation, it says that there will be a time when people will not be able to buy or sell unless they have a mark in their forehead or their hand. I personally believe that stuff like what Amazon is doing right now is an attempt to desensitize people to such ideas. I don't know exactly what the mark will be, but it clearly will have economic connotations of some kind. That's not hysterical; that's simply fact.

It's not a "cop out"...

I know, exactly, what Dennis is referring to and it HAS been discussed quite often, here. Just go over to the REL sig and run a search for "Mark of the Beast".

The mark does have an economic factor to it:

"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 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: 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."

But it, also, is a sign of worship and allegiance to the AntiChrist.

So, while this type of thing may be laying the groundwork for the real mark, this is not, yet, it.

I was just trying to stir the pot a bit because I enjoy irritating Dennis as much as possible...

Call it a hobby...

Problem is, he is onto me and usually just bitch-slaps me down to the ground.

I'M NOT A GNAT, DENNIS!!!

I HAVE FEELINGS, TOO, YOU KNOW!!!

And I agree completely with you on that. As I said in my post to Dennis above, I'm aware that this is not the mark; it is, however, the enemy's intention to desensitize people to the idea--and that is worth noting.

Correct. For those who have eyes to see, it is obvious that this is just another stepping stone to the real Mark.

Words mean something. And it's because the church as a whole and the various sects don't pay attention to all the words that they get in trouble. I think all the churches and teachers would agree that whatever this 'mark' is (I believe it to be spiritual and not physical) has to apply to every man, woman boy and girl. If anybody is left out then it isn't the biblical mark.

For just some logical thinking how does this mark apply to natives in the Amazon who have never seen paper money, never seen a credit card and have lived their whole lives never walking into a store to buy something? Many indigenous people groups in far away lands know nothing of our system of commerce as they live on a barter or subsistence system. Think about it. If whatever a teacher or preacher claims this mark to be (and I've seen a lot of them over the years) if it doesn't apply to every human being on the face of the whole earth including the natives still wearing loincloths that live primitive lives then it's not the mark of the beast that the scriptures talk about.

Amazon has a 50% off Prime for people with EBT or Medicade, have to give them the number of your account. Wondering if this could be the start of getting more info on you. ??

Agreed.

Acceptance evolves into convenience, then dependance and before we know it, into demand. We'll be wondering, where on earth, did THAT pop up???

I like convenience just like everyone else, but you won't be seeing me inject or tattoo ANYTHING in or on me!!!

I agree. We may not know what the Mark is going to be (The Bible gives us pretty good description), but anything that paves the way for it, I plan to steer clear of. When the actual Mark becomes mandatory, we will all know what it is, and who the Anti-Christ is. It will bear his name or the number of his name. That tells me he will be in control at that time. People will not be deceived in taking it. My understanding of what the Bible speaks of is that people will bow down, in a form of worship, to the AC, and will willing take his Mark. Pledging allegiance to him, in other words. Christians will see and understand.

Also agree.

Just making a note here. "The Mark" comes into play near the end of the 7 year trib. (in the main stream view of the end times) which would make it after the AOD, among a whole lot of other things.

However, I would think, that the means of using The Mark, as form of payment, would already be in play, and adapted to be useful to the AC. Kind of like making a new method of payment, like Euro's, and all things European are bought and sold in Euro's. Currency was an old method of payment, Euro's was a new take on it. Without Euro's you can't buy anything in Europe.

Many today don't carry cash. Many today don't use checks. It has become mandatory for direct deposit. My meaning is a transition to a new form/way of paying bills, and conducting business has been going on for some time, and no one even cares, it just happens, we go along with it. We've already transitioned to 1's and 0's.

BTW did you know before you can use a debit, or credit card in the Euro Zone, it must have "The Mark" on it? Yeah, that's the official name of it. Nothing to see here, move along.

Also, go ahead and buck the system we now have. It will cost you. Just imagine what bucking the Mark system will cost you. Just saying food for thought.

Strong's concordance Greek definition of "mark". Its a symbol of ownership. Like branding cattle.

5480 xáragma – properly, an engraving (etching); (figuratively) a mark providing undeniable identification, like a symbol giving irrefutable connection between parties.

5480 /xáragma ("brand-mark") was originally any impress on a coin or a seal, used by an engraver on a die (stamp, branding iron). 5480 (xáragma) later became "the identification-marker" (like with an owner's unique "brand-mark").
Ancient documents were validated by such stamps or seals

No. SB is correct on this one.

I understand what Cary is saying. I also believe that a system can be in place or almost in place when the AC comes to power, and he will simply take it over to use for his own glory. He may make changes in it, tweak it, put his final touches on it, so to speak. We can see this system already being constructed in the world today. Then, we could both be wrong about it. All we can do is to watch and wait, but it's coming.

The single most important thing about the Mark is that to take it, ONE MUST RENOUNCE GOD. There will be no question that one is doing so when they take the Mark. That’s why whenever some company or other brings out an implanted ID thing and people start running around :hof: , I have to laugh. Total reactionaries, who don’t know their Scripture.

Well... The AntiChrist does not have TOTAL global domination and the tribes you speak of will, more than likely, not be affected.
