Oh, we’re doing that again? Alright, let’s pull this beast by the horns.
Claim: “Money is the mark of the beast.”
Reality: Revelation doesn’t need your conspiracy theory fanfiction.
Let’s get surgical with the Scriptures:
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark…” — Revelation 13:16–17
Now, read that slowly. The mark isn’t money. It’s the prerequisite for engaging in commerce. That’s like saying the steering wheel is the car because you can’t drive without it. Missed the mark—literally.
Money has existed for thousands of years—coins, cattle, salt, paper, crypto, you name it. Is every form of transaction now satanic? Should we all go back to bartering chickens for sandals? Paul handled money. Jesus told Peter to pull tax money out of a fish’s mouth. Was the Lord promoting the beast economy? Please.
Here’s the truth: The mark of the beast isn’t a coin in your wallet—it’s a compromise in your worship. It’s allegiance. It’s loyalty. It’s saying yes to the system that says no to Christ. And that, friend, is way deeper than what’s in your pocket.
So before we start baptizing baseless TikTok theology as gospel truth, maybe ask: Am I letting fear drive my doctrine, or the Word of God?
Money isn’t the mark. Idolatry is. And some folks are making an idol out of bad interpretations.
