The Book of 'Allegory'?

"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: 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." (Revelation 13:16-17)

Take a moment with me to reflect on this prophecy, penned by the Apostle John sometime in the latter part of the 1st century. In John's day, there were perhaps 200 million people living in the known world of the Roman Empire.

None of them had driver's licenses. There was no such thing as an identity card. There was no central database containing the names and addresses of the Empire's citizens. There was no central banking system in place. There was no global economy, no Federal Reserve, no paper scrip, and no way to track either the movement or the economic activity of the general population.

In John's day, such strict governmental control was utterly impossible. It would be more than eighteen hundred years before any of the elements necessary to fulfill John's prophecy were even dreamed of, let alone invented.

Personal note: Yes, we are the generation that John was talking about in the book of Revelations. But it's given by God thru Christ to John the Apostle. God knows when is the end. He is the Beginning & the End. How come so many people still so defiant or ignorant of the times? I pray God will save me & my family, friends & relatives. I pray God will save all people. The technology mentioned in Revelations wasn't existent until our time. See, the Bible is a very advanced book. God is more advanced than most think. He is ancient yet advanced. What paradox! May God have mercy on us all! Amen.
