The mark of the beast has been the place of much imagination, speculation and fear in the past

decades. Our member as a child hearing that code bars on products might be an early shadow

of this mark, recently with rumors of microchips being placed under the skin. Of course, the most recent

speculation has been that the new vaccine is the mark or a step

towards this mark.

These intuitions often arrived at through very immediate ways can nonetheless divulge

a mystery about what this mark is referring to.

In general, though, this subject has been the arena of much panic in certain circles while seeming like strange

and arbitrary to others.

In the media, the reaction, of course, is to mock the concerns that people have, to attempt

to debunk the claims or else to simply wonder why it matters.

Why apart from some verse in revelation would it matter to be marked in this manner? Why would it bother

people the way it does, except for their religious attachment to this very strange book

full of dragons and trumpets and floating altars with lambs on them? What we will see is that

although the relationship between a vaccine, surveillance, identification, and a mark

that would make you participate, or expelled from a system, surveillance, identification, and a mark that would make you participate

or expelled from a system might seem arbitrary at first. These intuitions do not appear out of nowhere,

but are based on implications which are already there in the very notion of a mark itself.

So what we're going to do is we're going to do a deep dive into the problem

of the mark. And hopefully the concerns over this, the concerns over this questions, whichever side

you end upon will at least make better sense to everybody once we're done going through this.

But in writing this, I realized just how big the subject was, and so this subject will be separated in two videos.
