The Mark of the Beast Explained: Scripture, Symbolism, and the Choice of Allegiance

Description:
In this episode of Naughty vs Nice, Todd, Laura, and Kelly dive deep into one of the most misunderstood prophecies in the Bible—the Mark of the Beast. Is it a microchip, a tattoo, or something far more subtle? Using Scripture first and history as context, the team unpacks what Revelation really means by a “mark on the hand or forehead,” showing how the Old Testament sets the framework and how the New Testament fulfills it.

They explore the connection between ancient trade guilds, Caesar worship, and modern “cancel culture,” highlighting how allegiance, conformity, and worship—not technology—are at the core of this prophecy. With parallels to recent global events, occult timelines, and Alice Bailey’s predictions about 2025–2026, the conversation reveals how the Beast’s system is a counterfeit of God’s kingdom.

If you’ve been wondering whether the Mark of the Beast is already here—or if it’s still to come—this episode will ground you in Scripture and help you discern truth from hype.
