Most people know it as 666. It is the mark of the beast and comes from Revelation 13:16-18, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.“
To answer the question, how long until the mark of the beast? I do not know, but I will say this – events are playing out in the world that indicates the event may be sooner rather than later.
When it comes to Bible prophecy, we do not know dates, but we do have a good idea of the sequence of events. When it comes to the mark, we do know it will start after the Antichrist comes to power; that means it begins sometime during the tribulation period. We also see the tribulation period begins when the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel and many other nations (Daniel 9:27).
Since this treaty has not been signed, and therefore, the tribulation has not started, we know the mark of the beast is not coming today. Most Bible scholars believe the mark will be mandatory, starting at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation.
Will the mark of the beast be in the form of a computer chip, tattoo, bar code, or something else? With current technology, a computer chip seems the logical choice. Note the wording of the Revelation 13 passage above, “to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.” The word “in” implies under the skin. However, with the everchanging growing abilities of technology, the mark could be something we have not yet seen. Only God knows, and time will tell.
Several bills are floating around congress about another form of stimulus because of the virus. One, in particular, caught my eye, introduced by congresswomen Tlaib (D-MI) and Jayapal (D-WA). It is the Automatic BOOST to Communities (ABC). Every man, woman, and child within our nation would receive a BOOST debit card. The current proposal has each card preloaded with a $2,000 balance. Each month after that, $1,000 is deposited onto the card. This payment is only temporary, lasting for one year after the COVID-19 crisis ends.
The bill offers a provision that an individual if they desire, could add their private funds to the card during or after the crisis. Therefore, a person could use this card for perpetuity.
With the open end date of this card (one year after the virus ends), it is not inconceivable that the benefit could last well into next year or even early 2022. If there is another outbreak in the fall, the crisis continues, pushing back the end date.
A family of four would receive $48,000 during the twelve months after the virus is over. That figure does not include the $8,000 in funds on the cards initially, or any monthly payments made during the crisis.
If this bill would pass, does anyone think that Washington politicians would take a $48,000 a year income from every family of four in the country when the time comes for it to end? Washington does not have a track record of discontinuing giveaways once they start.
I know some readers think this is absurd and would never happen in the United States. This idea of giving a monthly stipend to the entire population was something talked about by our founding fathers. Thomas Paine, the writer of “Common Sense,” proposed the concept. He called it a “citizen dividend.”
A universal basic income (UBI) plan passed in the US House while Nixon was President. The bill failed in the Senate when Democrats did not think the payments were high enough.
Andrew Yang, who ran for the Democratic nomination for President this year, said the UBI was the foundation of his campaign.
On the religious front, less than a month ago, during his Easter message, the Pope called for a worldwide Universal Basic Income.
The idea has been simmering centuries. Now, because of the virus, the pot is starting to show bubbles, ready to boil.
Whenever this starts, whether in twenty days or twenty years, it is only a step toward the mark. It is not 666, but it is a stepping stone. As time goes by, many will deposit personal funds onto the government card, if for no other reason than to make it easier to keep track of their finances.
Logical steps after the establishment of a national debit card are the elimination of cash, and possibly moving to a cryptocurrency. Then to prevent cyber theft and hacking, putting a mark in everyone’s right hand or forehead.
How long until the mark of the beast? Whenever it is, it is closer than we realize.
Preacher's Point 
Tim, you’re thinking in the right directions. I applaud you. I read an article from you about a low number in the Rapture. You have it right, and for the right reasons. But it’s worse than you think. The math is hidden in plain sight. You probably know that the OT idea of “first fruits” was equal to the tithe = 10%. Now look at Rev 14:4 and notice the word “first fruits”. The Harvest that the “first fruit” comes from is described in vs 14-16 = the rapture. Do the math Tim. If 10% of X = 144,00 then X = 144,000/10%.
X = 1.4 mill. less 144,000 means about 1.3 mil go. I know why. There’s much more. I’d be interested in helping you continue your research and thinking if you wish. Just let me know. Either way, I ask God’s blessing on you.

what a liar. The book of Revelations never uses the word Antichrist. It uses beast. Beasts per revelations and Daniel are Govt. All Govt, not just ours or Brtish Govt. But all Govt’s all around the world. And yes the sacrifice did happen back in about 680 AD in Israel when Mohamad was still alive and they built that darned Dome on the rock. For about 7 years or so animal sacrifices were brought back and I believe mandatory when the Muslims rule Israel. Per Joseph Cortez’s Last day’s books at teaching faith ministries.com or something like that.
When Israel reclaimed the holy land in 1947-48 that’s when the Tribulation began. As it says when you shall see the green fig on the tree, that Generation that sees this will not perish. That happened during
that time period, plus they retook Jeurselum in 1967-68.
So yeah this guy’s wrong and deceiving you into a lull of I’m safe when you’re not.
The water beast of Revelations, the one with 7 heads that comes up from the water if you read later on it tells you what that water is. It says that it’s people’s nations and tongues and multitudes, and is not centered around the EU or Israel or the revived Roman Empire or anything like that. The water is politics and it’s the politics that people around the world do, and they creat this beast by their politics.
As it says it comes up from the water and the water is people’s nations and tongues and multitudes.
The two-horned beast is us America for we are the ones who speak as a lamb iE: Freedom and liberty and peace and safety. etc… those are lamb statements. Remember as were are seeing with this Plandemic when they shall say peace and safety then sudden destruction comes/cometh.
WIth mask mandated and cops in some places and or others enforcing it and or telling you can’t sell or buy without the damned thing you better bet what immortality promise from God that pretty much has to be it.
We act like a dragon as it says about the land beast by playing god and doing what only God should be doing. NOT US!
We give life to the beast by law and cops enforcing those ungodly laws we’ve been doing for a very long time already and or other things people do in this country saying they’re using god as to why they’re doing it.
Remember the whore or false prophet is religion, that’s already here now pretty much 100% of all churches have taught lies since almost the death of Christ.
They’ve taught lies such a Romans 13 by saying were to obey the Secular Govt. this is false.
The word power in Romans 13 is Exousia which was falsely taught as power. But it means liberty, not power. They’re all close now because they either by ignorance believe were to give the Govt our power as in what revelations 17 says, by subterfuge know they are wrong but have to seem like they’re being persecuted and keep their parish on their side or something like that. Truth and those that truly follow the truth as in the remnant are the ones that already have been persecuted.
What we’re seeing now with them only allowing 50 people in and they all must wear a mask or not enter, and take their temperature when entering very well could be as the beast hating the whore. If the beast is Govt and the church for their wrong teachings is the whore, and the false prophet and I’ve researched this and know that they have they fit that NOW not later.
I can if needed provide proof or evidence of Exousia meaning liberty and not power.
Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar and give to God what is God’s was Jesus using something that only the truly saved would see. Ig GOvt is our king give to that but if God is your king give to him.
This isn’t railing against Govt this is railing against lies there is a difference. Gods Govt I want not mans.
Seriously you’re lost if you chose to wear this mask since it’s now being used as a sanction against being able to buy or sell now!
Should is not an absolute statement as in you will die and Guillotines do not have to be how this goes.
beheaded is a way to say killed for their witness getting shot because you refuse to wear a beast mark mask is still being dead and killed. Scripture does say some will not be killed not thrown into prison they will either run when all this seems to come or find ways to still barter or do other things to still be able to gain commerce and not wear or take a beast mark mask.
A vaccine with its nanobot technology and having to have one and use your cell phone and get an ID from a vaccine to show and be scanned when and if you enter a store or restaurant or someplace they will use their computer or cell phone to scan your phone and then let you enter but I wouldn’t bet immortality promise on that since buying and selling now without a mask is being sanctioned against already. You need to quit your job if they make you wear them. God says look how he clothes and feeds the birds and they toil/worry not where their food will come from, so how much better shall he feed and clothe you? are you not better? That is a mark of the beast statement on how to avoid it and not be thrown into the lake of fire.
Seriously don’t listen to this guy! But research what I have said with what I have said in mind when reading scripture and looking into other books, not cannon.
Remember Laodicea is mentioned as being spewed out not good but spewed out. And who was it that helped have the bible Cannoned? them Laodicea!. Why? one should ask. It’s to control people that’s why. Church fathers had Jesus crucified its church that’s taught crap!
