RE:Book of Revelation is symbolic

If you take the spiritual mark of the beast, you will take the physical as well.

YHWH marks his people with a seal of God in their foreheads (Deut. 11:18; Isa. 11:12; Rev 7,14 and 22)

It would also make sense that the enemy would mark his people. Just take a look at the religions of the world who set a symbol upon their hands or foreheads... or the pagan cults who mark and brand their followers with a symbol by way of marking the skin or wearing of the symbol as jewelry.

The spiritual mark of the beast is an outward sign of those who love the world and the idols in it more than they love their Creator. The mark of Cain (Gen. 4:15) They trust in money and power, material wealth to save them. Those who know not God but call his name trust in a church, a book, a pastor, a rhema, a spell, an incantation, a tradition or service, a dogma handed down by the generations of men to save them.

Those who have given themselves over to the enemy are already trapped. The warning is for those who are dwelling in religion and do not have a personal relationship with Yahshua Hamashiach(Jesus Christ).

If you take the spiritual mark, you will take the physical. Why? Because you will have been brainwashed to believe that trusting in the material is what Jesus wants...

...you will try to save your family, your friends, your brother, mother, father, sister, etc. through material things, not trusting in the Savior to deliver you from evil. (Luke 14:26)

Do not be deceived! Trust only in the Holy Spirit to guide you and let NO MAN lead you astray! Chew on this and pray for the truth to be revealed to you. I pray this finds you well.
