What is required to buy or sell in Revelation 13:17?

Revelation 13:17 requires the mark of the beast, or his name, or his number, for anyone to buy or sell. The false prophet causes all people—small and great, rich and poor, free and bond—to receive a mark in their right hand or forehead.

Les explains that this religious leader, the false prophet, causes everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and bond—to receive a mark in their right hand or forehead. No person may buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast, or his name, or his number. Les illustrates the coming control by recalling how, decades ago, a corporation's secretary found that a hotel already had her boss's preferences—room, rental car, restaurant—stored in a computer. He warns this knowledge will haunt people, as today 'they know all about you.'

Revelation 13:17
