OK this could be a long one...but... In revelations the last book of the bible it talks about Jesus coming back from heaven to collect his church also know as the rapture or second coming...When he does this the Antichrist who is going to pretend to be a "christ" or savior is going to try to dominate the world and probably succeed.  This antichrist is also known as a dragon, lion and beast.  That is where the name comes from...now the rapture hasnt happend yet and Christian all over the world speculate every day what could this be.  Well seeing the future isnt exactly what humans are meant to do or for anyone to beable to do for that matter of a fact.  Many think that it will be  microchip with a tatoo over it or something of that sort.  There are books that talk about this time and they are fiction such as the Left Behind Series and there are other non fiction book on this topic but, I would definately look up revelations and read about it.  It only talks about it for a very brief time, but i wouldnt wory about it for now because that isnt the thing preventing you from going to heavan at this time the only thing stopping you is having a personal relationship with Christ and accepting his eternal gift of life.  Hope that answers your question and oh yeah if thousands upon millions of us disappear you might want to start worrying about it and checking out being a Christian but dont wait..cause no one knows how or when its going to happen except God himself...dont miss out!

It is the mark of the beast.  It basicly means that those who have this number on their head on hand have worshiped the power of the beast and given themselves to it.  What is the beast?  I could say, but that would be no fun.  I will give you some hints though.  It is a religious power that rises out of Europe after the fall of Rome (and 3 of the tribes of the fallen empire are taken out) that acts as sovereign nation.  It has much wealth and wants to change the lasw of God.

I saw the same thing and am trying to find that gospel and the gospel of Mary and to tell you the truth all of the gospels they were talking about. I'm not so sure that it is real or fake but the bible says test all things.... also says seek wisdom, not just biblical wisdom. Kudos from me, your on the right track...however, I seriously doubt the authenticity of the book. Googling it doesn't help much!

To me, the current date has no bearing on anything. I do follow prophecy and know the number of the beast. Fortunately for Christians, we will not be here when those who wish to be out in society will have to have the mark so my only concern is for any of my family that continues to reject Christ and will still be here when these things come to pass.

Actually, it was in fact misinterpreted in the Bible. \n\nRevelation! 666 is not the number of the beast\n(it's a devilish 616)\n\nA newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.\n\nThe new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing.

No, because there is no such thing as 'the beast'.  \n\nIf there were, the mark would more likely be an embedded RFID chip.

This book, Holy Blood/Holy Grail, has been around since the late seventies, I being a teenager of that era remember watching the authors talk about the book on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, it stirred up the talk then and has never stopped. I too have read The DaVinci Code whwich was good but try reading the nostic gospels such as The Gospel of Thomas which they mention in the movie Stigmata and then watch Stigmata which is excellent! It stars Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Bryne. Check out the History and Discovery channels which always have programs devoted to these subjects ( nostic gospels, the Holy Grail, Knights Templar, The Davinci Code). It's always good to search for answers.

I think it's the mark of the beast,and if it is,it will happen,and we won't be able to stop it.It tells about it in the Bible.True Christians won't accept it,and a lot will be killed for not taking it.

Yes, it could well be the system used which the Bible defines as the "Mark of the Beast".  It's like the computer chips inserted in the wrists of people from south Florida.  Once you have the chip, you can be tracked and it becomes your official form of identification.  You can swipe your wrist across a scanner and the scanner reads the information.  The Army uses Smart Cards which do the same.  They contain all the information about the servicemen that would be essential to identify them.  We are closer to the reign of the AntiChrist than most people want to imagine.  I agree with the writer above, all events are moving us toward the day when the AntiChrist's national system will be implemented.  God is allowing the stage to be set.  He has a divine agenda and His Word is true.  Every detail will come to pass.  Press on!

Back in the 1970's and 1980's it was popular for members of the clergy to bash rock music, especially heavy metal.  One of the most notorious groups to be labeled evil was Iron Maiden, primarily because of the song, "Number of the Beast."  When asked if members of Iron Maiden are devil worshipers their reply was, "No we are not.  It was just one song."  The song, in fact, was based on the book, "The Omen," to which the Catholic church gave the thumbs up. \n    The song starts off with verses from The Revelation of Jesus Christ.  "Whoa to thee of earth and sea, for the devil sends the beast with wrath." (Revelation 12:12)  "Let him who have understanding recognize the number of the beast for it is a human number.  It's number is six hundred and sixty six." (Revelation 13:18) \n\n    How can anything which contains the word of God be evil?  Hello!  The book of Revelation (Revelation 1:3) even promises a blessing for anyone who reads this to others!  God works in strange ways and who would have thought that some British heavy metal musicians would teach some biblical verses to millions of American teenagers, who would never have know it otherwise.  And God did bless Iron Maiden with their break through hit and a long and prosperous career.  Another song of theirs, "The Evil That Men Do" also refers to The Revelation of Jesus Christ 5:6. and you can find biblical references in many other songs by Iron Maiden, as well as songs by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. \n\n    All of this brings me to my point that God is in everything and that if we look for God we can find it.  God always wins and has his influence everywhere. \n  \n\nBack Masking \n    What about back masking, the old trick of playing an analog tape backwards while record music or lyrics forwards.  Supposedly brainwashing messages played backward are going to make us do what ever they say.  That doesn't work backwards, verbal persuasion seldom works forwards.  As a president of an advertising firm once said, "If that worked then every commercial would use it, and we could make men buy tampons!  It's just not so.  \n\n    Many times when I perform "Stairway to Heaven" I feel the Holy Spirit.  Could it be that somehow God used another heavy metal band, Led Zeppelin, to glorify Jesus Christ and Heaven for masses of teenagers. It seems that British school boys know a lot more about Christianity than their American counterparts. \n\n    Lets examine the words to Stairway to Heaven.  One verse that sticks out right away is " 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings."  Hey the Bible is full of parables, words with two meanings.  Maybe some of the words in this song have two meanings.  Let's examine it line by line and see the hidden meanings and the strange ways God works to spread the word. \n\n    But you say that the artists are sinners so this song must be evil.  In The Revelation of Jesus Christ, (Revelation 19:10) an angel tells John that God says the message is what's important, not the messenger.  Besides, Jesus loves sinners.  He died for your sins. \n\n    Isn't it funny that every year since it was new, Stairway to Heaven has been the number one rock song every time that a rock radio station plays their all time greatest, most requested songs.  That's pretty amazing, in fact it's a miracle!  Truly it is.  I mean, do you think God would let Highway to Hell be number one?  Well, maybe if God wanted to use it as a warning.  But God, being a good, friendly, and loving God would rather do a little positive reinforcement and use a positive song after all.... \n  \n\nThis is a song of hope  (this is a song of salvation) \n\nStairway To Heaven \nwords and music by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. \n\nThere's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold \nAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven. (she is tithing) \nWhen
