This theory gets trotted out a lot, and it’s definitely a tool they have used or could use for bondage, but it’s not IN the RIGHT HAND or FOREHEAD, and not required to buy or sell. Fire has not yet come down from heaven.
It’s not a bad idea to reduce connectivity to them, by any means, I just don’t see it.
What it looks more like is that we are seeing the first beast take it’s deadly wound. Rev 13:1-10
(6-8) And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
We are under MARITIME law. This is the beast of the sea. The mark comes under the beast of the earth.
Why do you think we are hiring soldiers to fight underground?
How far apart are the two spaced? Days? Weeks? Centuries? We don’t know.
Maritime law has not been fatally wounded, nor healed, and become re-exercised, yet, unless there was a whole period where it was operative and then gone that we don’t yet know about. The Middle Ages?
(14-15) And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
AI, anyone? “Should make an image to the beast”? Hopefully not memes.
Don’t know of anyone wounded by a sword, unless it is referring to Truth.
It’s possible we are under the second beast, but a lot seems to be missing for it. The first seems more likely.
I could be wrong, though growing up I had wondered if Russia was that beast that was wounded & then rose again. Maybe Germany?
The heads & crowns seemed like big tech/pharma/power families with no title but have power like kings. Thing just seem like we are in the time of the last beast to me, though again I could be wrong. Ultimately I figure I can follow the example of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and do my best to help my fellow man & serve them when inspired by the Holy Ghost/Spirit.
For the sake of argument, much of the Bible is allegory and when considering Revelation, John was using imagery and wording common to his interpretations IRT.
Thus, a cellphone could totally be the mark for the right hand is the dominant hand for a majority of humans and the forehead could symbolize the mental and chemical addiction to the device.
Tit for tat. I could see it going either way. All I know for sure is that smart phone technology is not healthy for consumers and is undoubtedly linked to transhumanism, which in it's very nature anti-human.
Beasts are creatures of burden and slaughter and without spirit.
A mark of the beast would be akin to branding a cow, and be a clear indicator that the beast was not allowed to be in free pasture any further, and ready for nothing further but slaughter.
Rev 14
(9-10) And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
So anyone who has picked up a cell phone is marked? Anyone who uses it regularly? After what period of time is the mark received? Why would this particular anti-righteousness addiction be particularly damning? If it is the mark, where/who/what was the beast of the sea? What was its fatal head wound? We clearly can’t see the mark, and it’s clearly not yet required to buy or sell (though they are certainly looking like they might want to push things that direction with tap payments)
I am not fixed in my interpretations, because as you noted, it’s allegory. Certain things should be clear if we are further down the path, though. Future proves past, so what was the past that we missed?
I don't think smartphones are the Mark, but they are definitely a step towards it. They wanted everyone to have a QR code on their smartphone to prove their vaccinations, and to have people constantly "boosted" in order to maintain that mark. CBDC would also be implemented by a smartphone. Already the technology is alread in use for a smartphone to pay for stuff. Perhaps in the future, a smartphone could be a part of one's hand, whether its interface is holographic like in a sci fi movie, or something we haven't imagined yet. At some point, I believe that smartphones and AI will pave the road and eventually become the Mark of the Beast. That's just my opinion. I still use a 4G flip phone.
That's why I still use a flip phone. I get youngsters making fun of me, but I refuse to carry one of those New World Order devices around with me. Especially because I'm a spaz and I'd probably drop it and break the screen. Those screens are so large and exposed, whereas my flip phone's screen is protected by what is practically its clamshell.

Now, the Euphrates has been going dry…

I always read Russia as the bear and Germany as the leopard.
Check chapter 17 as well. 17, huh?

I tend to agree with that idea.
