What is the Mark of the Beast 666?

The Mark of the Beast! 666! ...such a scary number, right? It it a prediction of government tattoos or new credit card chip technologies that Christians must be ever-vigilant against? In this episode of Superhero Seminary, Prof. Beastman walks us through the passage of Scripture where that term comes from...and more importantly, what the original readers would have understood it to mean. ***Disciple Dojo shirts and other gifts are available over in our online store! - https://www.zazzle.com/discipledojo ---- For a fuller discussion of this subject, see JM Smith's book "You WANT to be 'Left Behind'!!" available in paperback or Kindle format at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A8PD9DM/ For an in-depth look at what the Bible teaches on the subject of End Times as a whole, head over to the Disciple Dojo podcast and download or stream the series "Apocalypse Now??
