The mark of the beast revolves around worship. The beast,(the beast out of the sea)is the catholic church/vatican, and her mark is the transfer of the Sabbath from the 7th day of the week to the 1st, or Sunday. Once Sunday worship is forced upon mankind, it becomes the mark. Scientific discovery has recently revealed that the frontal lobe of the cerebrum, which in laymen’s terms is called the forehead, is where functions like decisions, judgments, and free will are made. We are sealed by God when we make the free will decision to accept Jesus as our Savior and His Word as Truth. This is where we recieve the mark in our forehead. If we accept the mark of the beast through force, we recieve the mark in our hand. Here is a quote from the RCC: "Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact" Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.
Here's another one: "Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.
