The Mark of the Beast
"Beast" = 666
3 = number of completion
7 = number of completion & perfection
6 - number of imperfection
David Jeremiah. . .
“We could sum it up to say that the number 666 represents the ultimate in human ingenuity and competence. The Antichrist is the epitome of man’s last attempt at ruling the world before Jesus overrules all those who oppose him.”
A few pastoral perspectives . . .

1. We don’t need to worry that we will get tricked into taking the mark of the beast.
Dr. Matt Halsted . . .
“Whatever the current issue may be (vaccines, SSN, chip implants, SIM cards, etc.), we need to be careful about confusing our personal and/or political convictions with the meaning of a biblical text….the “mark of the beast” must be tied back into worship if it is to be applied properly.”
A few pastoral perspectives . . .

1. We don’t need to worry that we will get tricked into taking the mark of the beast.
2. We should avoid the kind of sensationalism that could discredit the gospel.
