Mark of the Beast

The mark of the beast is described in Revelation 14:9-12.


9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.


Explanations:

Revelation 14:9 - The mark of the beast (Antichrist) will be tattooed on the forehead or right hand.

Revelation 14:10 - When a person takes the mark of the beast they will no longer be able to get saved. Once they've taken the mark they will go to hell when they die or when Jesus comes back at the end of the tribulation.
Revelation 14:11 - When unbelievers are thrown in the lake of fire, they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever.

Revelation 14:12 - Those who refuse the mark of the beast will go through trials and hardships. Many will be beheaded. But in the end, their eternity will be with God in heaven.
