Do any of you notice that MOST websites require you to enter your 3 digit security code found on the back of your Debit/Credit Cards when making a purchase online or donating money? This is setting the stage for the coming Tribulation and the anti-christ whom will mandate everyone to get his number 666, and those without the number will not be able to buy or sell. 3 digit debit/CC codes was not required online just 5 years ago,and things have already changed. I think its very important to not only be in the word when studying Biblical prophecy but also to be looking at the news, and doing research online. The day is coming and the rapture of the church is next!
First it was the social security number, then it was credit card numbers, then it was the UPC code, then it was implantable chips, now it's the three digit security code on the back of debit cards. What's next?
The 3 digit code provides an interesting possibility however it fails. The code is not unique to the person, just the card. So anyone can use the card to buy and does not really impact the person in any real way. Plus, the Bible does specify the mark to be on the forehead or right arm...per Rev 13:16.17
Revelation is an apocalyptic text that uses typology and allusions to literature and cultural images and figures that were understand to its original first century context. Numbers in Revelation are almost always figurative. In this example 666 probably is an allusion to Nero who had persecuted Christians. It doesn't mean we should search under every rock and behind every tree for someone or something which adds up to 666.
1. This is pointless fear-mongering...Even if what you say is true, what difference does it make for our life and godliness at all?
Is there some way that I should be Obeying Christ more or differently now that I know this "important" information?
2.
There are ZERO bible teachers who are always right...ZERO.
Even the good ones.
Blind faith in any bible teacher will lead you to dangerous places.
