Where is the mark of the beast located?
The mark of the beast is located in the forehead or on the palm of the hand. Those who receive this mark will never succumb to the gospel of the kingdom. It is a sealing that identifies them, contrasting with the sealed 144,000 servants of God.
Les explains that the mark of the beast is placed either in the forehead or on the palm of the hand. He reminds listeners that this mark was discussed several weeks earlier. He notes that those who have the mark of the beast will never succumb to the gospel of the kingdom. In contrast, the 144,000 servants of God are sealed in their foreheads so that no one can take their life. This sealing parallels the mark God put on Cain. During the seven-year period, believers and the 144,000 will suffer privation, but the sealed ones are protected.
