I recently came across a video about these tattoos instead of smartphones, and by the way, I even found an article about them -- https://www.dexandbarbiet.com/-bill-gates-says-you-might-be-wearing-your-next-phone-literally

The revelation of john of patmos refers to the resistance of either Nero or Dominion. It doesnt describe nanomachines controlling us.

The verse youre describing, wearing the mark of the beast (numerology of nero's name adds up to 616, commonly mistaken as 666) refers to Jewish practice of marking yourself religiously (tefflin) because people were worshipping nero.

The mark of the beast, with the image of the beast, is roman gold coins bearing his face. You cant buy or trade without roman gold.

Messianic prophecy is one large Yes And from when Israel was defeated by Babylon, and with tons of callbacks to other prophecies, with someone shoehorning how things all link up. In fact, revelation is believed to have two different authors, because two of the end signs are the exact same (sun is blackened out), almost like the second writer didn't even double check

Source: former baptist preacher, tons of theological studies during and after I left, and now a daoist/gnostic.

Finding out the rapture and a lot of the stuff i grew up believing were because of one or two assholes from the 1800s (DL Moody for starters) pissed me the fuck off, especially for how it warped theology and conspiracy theories for generations to come

Amen brother. People who believe Left Behind “theology” will believe literally fucking anything.
