Q&A: Microchips in hand — not automatically the mark of the beast without beast worship connection

The Gospels Are History Not Myth 01:07:35 – 01:08:36

Q&A about prophetic application of Revelation's mark of the beast to modern technology.

Mike argues the mark of the beast in Revelation requires both: (a) a mark/identification system enabling commerce, AND (b) worship of the image of the Beast. A microchip for convenience (payment, building access) does not qualify as the mark of the beast unless connected to worship of a false system. Mike identifies as a futurist regarding Revelation. Cautions against the historic Christian tendency to see the mark of the beast in every new technology (e.g., 1970s bar-code-on-forehead theories).
