This is more than what's about to happen. SICK!!

A key verse about the mark of the beast is found in Revelation 13:16-18 (NIV):
**"It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666."**
This passage describes the mark of the beast as a sign of allegiance to the beast, which will be necessary for economic transactions during the end times.
