Implanted RFID chips
Is the RFID chip I'm hearing about people getting in their hand the mark of the beast?
No. The “mark” or seal in Revelation 13:16 is a symbolic way of denoting ownership: those people belong to the beast.
By way of contrast, consider how Revelation 7:4 describes God putting a seal or mark on his people. That symbolic sealing identified them as belonging to God.
Those verses illustrate the truth of Jesus’ words: “Whoever is not with me is against me” (Matthew 12:30). There is no middle ground when it comes to Jesus Christ.
