Is the biblical depiction of the mark during the apocalyptic times a faithful representation of what appears to be happening in the near future?
In other words, what I want to convey is that there is a striking resemblance that seems too precise to be merely a coincidence between the description of the mark in the apocalypse and the fact that all individuals, regardless of race, age, social or financial status, will be required to have this mark on their hand or forehead to buy and sell. Currently, we already use various cashless systems, such as cards, and identity documents are increasingly becoming electronic in many states. It seems highly evident that in the future, such an electronic system could become implantable, especially in certain situations (war, famine, diseases, terrorism), or simply become mandatory. Those who refuse the implant (or whatever form it may take) may be unable to buy or sell, essentially unable to live in society as before.
The timeframe for this question will be 10 years. Vote "yes" if you believe it's more than just a coincidence, and vote "no" if you think it's merely a coincidence. In 10 years, I will conduct a poll for this question and choose the answer according to the votes in the poll.
You all might like this market (that I'm still working on at time of post).
What a terrible market.
It is not "coincidence", it's just that our ancestors who saw a tiger where there was none survived much more often than the ones who didn't see a tiger that was there. Our minds are hard-wired to see patterns where there are none.
@ArmandodiMatteo The Book of Revelation was penned after Nero's era, approximately in 95-96 AD during Emperor Domitian's reign. Despite some debate on the exact date, it's clear that it refers to events beyond Nero's time, indicating a focus on the future rather than the past.
