Mark of the Beast | Is Digital ID Satan’s Seal?

Believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit for redemption. The mark of God signifies salvation, contrasting with Satan’s mark, which represents servitude and slavery. The coming digital ID system potentially fulfills the mark of the beast prophecy. Don’t accept any digital ID!

The new covenant of Jesus Christ superseded the old covenant. Under the new we are the chosen people of God. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto salvation not by works or ethnic origin but by faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. By trusting only in Jesus Christ, and Him only, He freely gives us everlasting life.

27 Do not work for the food, the one perishing, but for the food, the one enduring to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for God the Father sealed Him.

John 6:27 KJ3

The Father chose Jesus Christ at conception and sealed Him. The meaning of the Greek word used here, σφραγίζω sphragizo, and translated ‘sealed’, is to stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or preservation.

35 And answering, the angel said to her [Mary], The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and on account of this the Holy One being born of you will be called Son of God.

Luke 1:35 KJ3

The Holy Spirit enveloped Mary, Christ’s earthly mother, and sealed Jesus in her womb. That involved a supernatural influence, and marks the moment God condescended to become fully human.

That sealing is repeated for all those who trust in Christ as their Lord and Saviour. In our case that sealing is the means by which we are redeemed.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed to the day of redemption.

Ephesians 4:30 KJ3

Redemption means salvation by grace through faith. The sealing is the same as before mentioned, to stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or preservation. The Apostle Peter explained this by comparison to the opposite side of a seal the die stamped onto a legal document.

“… when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, an ark having been prepared, into which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. Which antitype now also saves us, baptism (not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ … .)”

1 Peter 3:20–21, KJ3

The Apostle Peter describes our being baptized into Christ’s death as an antitype of the saving of eight in the Ark. The original Greek word ἀντίτυπον antitypon has the meaning of a ‘representative’ or a ‘figure’.

The dictionary definition of the English word ‘antitype’ is ‘something that is represented by a symbol’. It comes from ‘anti’ meaning ‘opposite’, as well as ‘in place of’, and ‘typon’ an impression like from a die or stamp. So an opposite to the die is a representation or symbol of the original.

In short, the Bible makes it clear that the Ark, which saved eight souls through the deluge, is a figure, or ‘type’, of Christ and His salvation. Through entering the Ark, all who responded to Noah’s preaching could be saved from the waters of judgment. Even so, by entering into Christ, the ultimate Ark of salvation, we are saved from the judgment to come.

When we are sealed by God, the mark we bear is a symbol of that salvation. The mark or seal is a representation of the original. The original is salvation through Christ. These verses are often misunderstood, some using them for an erroneous justification that water baptism saves, but clearly it is the heart turned to Jesus Christ that leads to salvation.

In the last days, God issued a warning through His angel

3 saying, Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we seal the slaves of our God on their foreheads.

Revelation 7:3 KJ3

The chapter 7 of Revelation talks of God sealing His chosen believers by sealing them in their foreheads. For a full discussion of who these believers are see Revelation 7: The Saints Are Sealed. But following the current context, the seal is a mark or representation of the salvation secured through faith in Jesus Christ.

You might ask, what has all that got to do with Satan’s seal? Well, Satan cannot create anything new. Everything he does in an imitation of what God has created.

We also know that all those who Satan owns, those sealed or marked by Satan and also worship the beast, are doomed to hellfire.

20 And the beast was seized, and with this one the false prophet, the one doing signs before it, by which he led astray the ones receiving the mark of the beast, and the ones worshiping its image. The two were thrown living into the Lake of Fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 19:20 KJ3

This verse says that is the beast and his false prophet, two really bad characters, who are thrown into the fiery pit. The false prophet deceived people into receiving the mark or seal of the beast. The Greek word used here χάραγμα charagma has the meaning of a scratch or etching, i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude), or sculptured figure (statue). It has a very similar meaning to the word used to seal in verses above. Though it is closer to a die or stamp used to make a impression. This is Satan’s mark. And …

9b If anyone worships the beast and its image, AND receives a mark
on his forehead, or in his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the
anger of God having been mixed undiluted in the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented by fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb.

Revelation 14:9-10 KJ3

This is the same fate as that of the beast and his false prophet.

I have capitalised and bolded the word AND here because one must worship Satan and receive his mark to receive the fate described here.

The question then remains: what is the mark of the beast? Could the digital ID be the mark or seal issued by the beast system now operating in the world?

The Greek word used here χάραγμα charagma has the meaning of a scratch or etching, i.e. stamp as a badge of servitude. That is almost a perfect description of the idea of a digital ID. Once a person is ID-ed, i.e. given a unique identifier, it is their badge of servitude, that is, slavery. That badge/seal/mark could involve biometric identification such as facial scan (forehead) or it could be a physical microchip implanted under the skin (in the hand). Both technologies have been fully implemented. Of course, all for our safety and convenience.

Once you are entered into the digital prison via a digital ID you still have a choice even then. I emphasized the word AND above because if you do not comply even though forced to take an injected microchip, or a facial ID, you are not giving your consent to the beast. Consent here means worship.

And many will worship the beast system. They already do. We saw that during the COVID scam. A very large number were deceived by the false prophet and took an injection of an unknown agent with the perceived promise of “safe and effective”. Now the new mantra is “convenience and security”.

16 And it [the false prophet] makes all people, the small ones and the great ones, and the rich ones and the poor ones, and the freemen and the slaves, that it may give to all of them a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads, 17 even that not any could buy or sell, except the one having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name.

Revelation 13:16-17 KJ3

There are some oligarchs in the inner circle of the beast that do not need to take the mark, because they are the elites who run the system. But the vast majority will be required to accept some form of the mark or seal of Satan to access their digital bank accounts and use their digital currency to buy or sell any goods.

Is there any hope then? Of course. Christ is all powerful and, as stated above, He will cast the beast and all his followers into the fiery pit. But even so we are told the beast is a man.

18 Here is wisdom: Let the one having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Revelation 13:18 KJ3

If a man, then the beast is not infallible. But it is possible that the digital ID, if made universal, could be a fulfilment of the mark of the beast. It has all the hallmarks of Satan’s seal. Yet like all inventions of Satan it will come to an end.

Therefore my advice is, do not comply. Resist digital ID at all costs! Don’t accept any digital ID!

    So glad you emphasized the word “AND” in Rev. 14:9. Others have claimed that digital ID is the mark of the beast, and that if you accept a digital ID then it’s all over red rover. But as this verse reminds us, you would need to worship the beast as well. Of course, already having a digital ID would make it much easier to take that additional step. And as we saw during Covid, most people will just go along to get along.

    So far so good in my efforts to resists digital ID. But sooner or later I might have to do without the luxuries in life, such as food and shoes.

      I don’t know of anyone else who has brought out this point that BOTH taking the mark AND worshipping the beast are the prerequisites for “all over red rover”. See from May 2024: https://biblescienceforum.com/2024/05/09/can-you-take-the-mark-of-the-beast-and-not-be-damned-to-hell/

    I am concerned about this because I have noticed the systematic phasing out of cash payments. Also inability to use gift cards online on major sites. They do not want anonymity of any kind. Seems they want to box you in until you give in.

    I was going on vacation and now find out that an ETA (electronic transfer) or ETIAS for EU (European Travel Authorization System) will be in place. They call it different things in different regions probably to try and cause confusion. But they require biometric scans to enter the countries even with valid passport, boarding passes and proof of return flights. This is ALL for control and nothing to do with “security” which is how they are feeding it to the masses of sheep.

    Eventually (soon) they will require digital ID to access the internet, to get grocery, to buy anything and person to person trading will be outlawed, medical treatment will require AI approval before a human doctor will see you and only with biometric scanning will you be able to get appointment or treatment. All under the guise of “safety and security”. Your medical records will be tied in to it and AI will make a determination if you are worth giving treatment to.

    So this being said how we do as believers in Lord Jesus Christ even survive in this system, we must start making networks of people who will trade, who will not require digital IDs. Only danger is that is many people will be fakes who will work for the system and infiltrate. So even something like travel, if you get you face scanned and 4 fingerprints like they ask for is this a sin against God? I would like to know, because if so I need to cancel this trip and start thinking of how to survive in such a system without bending to the filthy beast and adhering to God’s word regarding the mark and worshipping of the beast. You would think we could get a religious exemption. But of course the devils in charge won’t allow that.  You can see economies already falling, the consolidating of resources and the clamping down on anonymity. Notice also how its all uniform across all nations? This is not a mere coincidence and it isnt for “safety”.

      I am concerned too. The plan is deliberate and is across at least 50 countries of the Western world. The WEF plan is to take away all privacy substituting for their “safety and security” which is itself a lie.

      First they bring in mandatory biometric scanning which then leads to a digital ID. In Australia we already have a digital ID but to get the legislation passed they had to make it voluntary, but for how long?

      I just read on X that some government department has been using millions of the Australian drivers licence facial photos to convert them to biometric signatures. All totally illegally of course. But who cares these days?

      They are boiling the frog in slow and gradual steps until it is too late.

      No sin at all if you are forced to against your will.

      It is coming from the WEF and run out of the UN. Global government is here.

      Personally I have decided that the red line in the sand for me which I will not cross is the digital ID. Whatever that means I will not take one. I expect to be booted off all social media on December 10th because of that, but there might be a reprieve because of the allowance for additional forms of ID.

    You have some great insights and great articles, I cant read them fast enough, tons of insight. Look up Palantir. Peter Thiel had a company called Confinity (“Con”, how fitting) it merged with Elon Musk’s company in 2001 forming Paypal. You made a great point about both requirements about the mark. Now Peter Thiel is heading up Palantir.

    All these people seem to just be puppets placed in certain positions and inserted into these contrived companies that are disguises for big bro run surveillance and data collection. They can’t legally spy so they circumvent these rights by using private strawman companies.

    Palantir is ushering in predictive policing under their platform called Gotham. (feel free to look all this up) They signed contracts to provide data integration to big bro by pulling and analyzing different data sets from Health records, tx returns, employment history, social media, immigration status, just to name a few. One thing to note is Googles partnership back in 2018 with Ascension called Project Nightingale (Please, feel free to look this up) lacing the groundwork for what is happening now.  Soon it will be 1 doctor in an entire hospital and they will have to enter an encrypted code that is given by AI to access treatments or surgical rooms. AI will only authorize treatments for people who go along (after it crunches the data about an individual via integration with Palantir) the human decision making process will be removed. Which is in line with the beast. You will have to make appointment online and you will only be allowed online if you have the mark (digital ID) and they will point to “security” reasons for restricting internet.

    Now couple this with their access to Ring cameras by Amazon and Amazon purchased Ring back in 2018. Also note that Jeff Bezos grandfather Lawrence Preston Gise was a key figure in the creation of DARPA, also the dawn of the internet they called ARPA. All these heads of companies appear to be just placed puppets. All the Ring footage supposedly “securely” stored is accessible to big bro so they fooled people into purchasing the very devices that are spying on them for the beast. The beast is not omnipotent like The Almighty Heavenly Father and creator of all things. So in order to mimic God’s all –knowing nature they have this surveillance grid all tied in using Palantir. This is why Ring has recently been criticized for reading biometric data on even people who just pass by the camera.

    They will eventually say that CBDC is necessary to prevent complete economic collapse and people will be none the wiser. They will gladly get their digital wallets that are tied into their digital IDs and their biometrics and behavioral data processed by Palantir. Thus making them essentially slaves to the beast system (As foretold in the Holy Bible) Go to YouTbe and search “Peter Thiel asked about the Anti-Christ” watch how he gets nervous and tries to divert and fumble for a response.  He even looks evil.

    Another thing is look up Albania use of AI for role in big bro. They named it Diella. If you look at the meaning of the name it means “Divine” or “Morning Star”. Its not a coincidence its in Isaiah 14:12 referring to lucifer. They are basically causing people to worship or listen to the image of the beast. This is in Albania, but likely is a feeler and test so they can start rolling it out elsewhere under the guise that AI is all knowing and makes better decisions. Just watch how people will accept this a well. Revelations 13:15, the image of the beast.

    The reason they are talking about this now is because the veil has thinned (you can tell they are basically gnashing their teeth like caged animals who sense the cage door unlocking waiting to get at those made in God’s image, and the demons are having to tell you what they will do to you beforehand so that way they can be within their legal rights in the spiritual realm to do as they wish to you, if they force you then angels will intervene. Because God gave us free will to see if we choose his laws and love or the enemies empty promises and lies (and ignorance to His laws are not an excuse). If the enemy tells us what they will do beforehand, no matter how veiled the confession they can then move on us without interference from God’s angels. But if we don’t go along and then ask God for assistance He will indeed call his angels who harken to His words to assist his children in their time of need.

    We must lean on Lord Jesus Christ now more than ever and try to adhere to his word so we may put on the armor described in Ephesians, also spreading the word of Lord Jesus Christ like you are doing. These devils can try to play god and trick some people, but they too have been deceived by the great liar Lucifer. By no means do they have the love, strength and Almighty power of God. When the day of judgement comes and they are in the presence of the divine their hubris will fall, they will be stripped of all false pride, arrogance and delusion and they will be too unclean to be in His presence for any length of time but to feel the disgrace of being casted down by His mighty angels. May God strengthen us against these demons.
