MacArthur lost his way about 15 years ago. He became wise in his own eyes. He rewrote Scripture, " The Masters Bible" ( ?) , and is going to take a lot of people with him. If Scripture holds a literal stance on the "Mark".
Something to ponder...
If you simply stopped using your S. Security number, deny even having one to all people. What would happen to your life? No job, no car, no driver license, cable TV, phone Etc...
Your broke. No job no money. You cannot buy anything either. Because your broke. Nor could you sell anything. Because you have no way of selling as you cannot buy the item you want to sell.
16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark — the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is six hundred sixty-six.
The number of a man. Thats your ( man's) number. Without the number it's game over. The "MAN" is you, me, every man ( and women) , on earth. It's our S. Security number.
I go for a job interview. Whats my ( a man), S. Security number? Etc...
Something to kick around. The " 666" simply means money. Economics. Our economy is based upon our Number.
I state this with caution in the event I am wrong. But so far, if things keep going and at the pace they are going, 5-10 years it's "game over".
Google: Aadhaar. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a central government agency of India.[4] Its objective is to collect the bio metric and demographic data of residents, store them in a centralized database, and issue a 12-digit unique identity number called Aadhaar to each resident.[5][6] It is considered the world's largest national identification number project.[7][8]
As of March 2016, the original legislation to back UIDAI is still pending in the Parliament of India.[9] However, on 3 March 2016, a new money bill was introduced in the Parliament for the purpose.[10] On 11 March 2016, the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016, was passed in the Lok Sabha.[11]

In the O.T., "bene ha'elohim" (sons of God) always refers to angels .
Angels do not procreate with humans.
So convert to Judaism then and be done with it.
You don't know me, do you? I left the error fill established church years ago. They are so limited in their understanding of who the Son of God really is and where he came from. It is not me who is the coward for I expose the church as I see the truth hidden from it.
the number referred to Nero. The whole Rev is about the 1st century world and situation and the destruction of Israel. The first page says so 3 times.
the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. (Luke 3:38 NASB)
The first of the seven last plagues is poured out on those with the mark of the beast. An end-time plague for a 1st century sin!?!
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. (Rev. 16:1)
bene 'elohim is Hebrew in case you didn't know...(ie: O.T.)
They thought it was the end of the whole world at that point, but an allowance was made. that does not mean everything in the Rev will happen this time around, because it was all about that generation and attached to Israel's failure.
That's why there is nothing (0) Judaic or about Israel in I cor 15, Acts 17, Heb 9, 2 Pet 3, 2 Tim 4, Rom 2, about the final day of judgement. If you notice carefully, Mt 24A has lots of Judean/Judaic references in it but not B (after v29). Nothing needs to happen for, to or in Israel for the NT's final day of judgment to occur.
:dunce: bla, bla, bla, bla, bla :dunce:Elohim is a generic term and several of the NT writers spoke Hebrew.
Why do you believe the Hebrew scriptures negate the NT scriptures?

The mark will have to be physical and visible so as to allow some and prevent others from buying and selling. It will go hand and hand with a restored temple worship in Jerusalem perhaps some kind of blood sacrifice will have to be offered as a form of allegiance or some other stipulation from the Law. There are hundreds of possibilities.
Gen 6:4 "the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children"
Gen 6:2 "the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives"
Jesus said angels don't marry meaning they don't take wives.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage,
but are as the angels of God in heaven. Mat 22:30
First off, these are fallen angels...
Shirley MacLaine will besuper :freak: (Ge 10:9) for a few years when she takes the mark of the beast; but, what about eternity? :burnlib: Ge 3:5
