Revelation 13:16 the mark χάραγμα isn't an implantable device, but an engraving, made with a signet, or sculpting tool, like a chisel.
In Revelation 20:4 specifically says upon their foreheads. In the Textus Receptus it literally says that upon the forehead and upon the hand. Nothing remotely close to something being injected or implanted.
brother will all due respect, I am seriously not allowing any implantation of an electrionic devise on my body...
just say'n

you point to a principle that we all have trouble accepting, i think; "if you, being evil..."
it is hard, but i try to think of myself as evil, and others as having some truth for me now.
I am forever amazed that people can read into scripture what is not there in complete disregard to the command not to do just that.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Where pray tell me does these verses say anything about a cashless society, or a computer chip implantation. It speaks of a visible mark, period. If it were a invisible mark, most people are already lost for they already do most of their business with an invisible number they carry in their purse or wallet.

Good discussion......Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
It takes cash money to buy and sell.
Just remove the cash exchange system and prevention/oversight of buying and selling will be accomplished.

Sounds like there's plenty of cash if you have the "mark."
