And, implantation of a chip, is wrong, and this goes beyond believing what the book of Revelation speaks of. It really ties in to a massive destruction of personal privacy, and once that boundary is crossed, there is no telling how science would try to manipulate one through the use of the chip. It is something we should stand against, I believe.
Indeed.

Why? Revelation did not reveal the time just the events.

And, all the writers of the NT, especially Paul taught the saints to be prepared every day for the return of Jesus. So, they anticipated seeing the resurrection of the dead and return of Jesus even in their time. So, I don't know. I don't place all my eggs in one basket, but rather, I try to live with the understanding that we may not know the day or the hour, but when the time comes to know, it is then we will know.
Again, preparing for His coming has nothing to do with knowing what the mark really is.

I think you have hit the nail in the head.
No one would willingly take a mark of the beast.
There has been too much publicity about the mark of the beast.

people might not believe in God or make light of the Bible, but no one in their right mind would willingly jump into a lake of fire, only a few nutcases would line up to receive the mark of the beast, especially if it was a literal 666.
