What does this mean in practical terms? For example, what does 'spake like a dragon' mean? How does a dragon speak?
it is those I do, so this part about everyone being forced to take the mark
to buy or sell...is a concern.
16 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:
17 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.
18 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 have a mark to buy or sell is coming. I imagine with the global markets
going south it will seem like the right thing to do to get everything under
control, and control is going to be the key word!

Originally posted by KellyJayWhen you talk about certain economic woes being a sign that 'the end is nigh', do you mean to claim that the Bible is talking about economic woes from the point of view of beleaguered American middle class people and seen through a right wing U.S.-centric prism?

Originally posted by FMFI find it facinating that many American Christians think that their country is the seat of Satan's earthy power, some like whodey even going on to extrapolate that Obama is the Devil himself. This entanglement of extreme religious self-fixation and political partisan perspectives makes quite amusing viewing.

What sort of mark would it be?
now I believe it will more than likely be like what we use on pets to track
them. It will be something that will show who you are, and with that they
could know all there is to know about you at all times. You could walk into
a store take stuff off the shelf and leave without ever having to stop and
pay for it, because they would know who you were and your bank account
along with what you took. So if everyone had the mark stealing would be
toast, doing a crime would be more dangerous since they could scan a
city block and know who was where.

Who will be responsible for the chipping?
