Revelation 13:16-18
INTRODUCTION: The mark of the Beast. It is probably the best-known prophecy in all of the Bible. Virtually everyone, at one time or another, has heard of this prophecy which tells that in the last days no one will be able to buy or sell anything unless they get the "devil's mark." This mark, according to the Bible will be universal. The word "mark" has a specific meaning. In the original Greek the word is charagma. The unique word only appears in the last book of the Bible (Revelation 13:16,17; 14:9, 11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; and 20:4). The word is not symbolic but is very specific. It is translated "physical mark", or "insignia," "a scratch or etching."
