THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE: The Mark of the Beast 666
The mark is about worship and keeping the commandments of God (Revelation 14:11-12).
I believe it will likely be specifically to do with the Sabbath; “… they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name” (Revelation 14:11). The Sabbath is the only commandment that contains God’s name (YHWH or YHVH/YHUH), title (Elohim), and dominion (heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them), making it a seal of sorts. This concept of the Sabbath acting as a seal is often tied to the idea that God's Law, particularly the Ten Commandments, reflects His character and authority. Thus, the Sabbath functions as a sign of God's covenant with His people, symbolizing not only rest but also allegiance to His rule as Creator. See further reasoning below.
When asked which is the great commandment in the Law, Jesus Christ answered,
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:36-40), at the heart of which lie the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) that were written on tablets of stone by the finger of God on Mount Sinai.
The Ten Commandments constitute the basic moral code for humanity, as magnified and revealed in their full meaning by Jesus, and are obeyed to demonstrate the believer’s love for God and their fellow man. Jesus affirmed the enduring nature of God’s Law, declaring that He did not come to abolish it but to fulfil it, and that not even the smallest part of the Law will pass away until heaven and earth pass away (Matthew 5:17-48). Sadly, many who identify as Christians today do not keep the Ten Commandments, especially the second commandment, which forbids idolatry, and the fourth commandment, to remember the seventh day Sabbath, and often teach others to disregard them as well. This is despite Jesus’ warning that those who break even the least of God’s commandments and teach others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:19).
