Mark of the Beast

The Mark of the Beast, spoken of in Revelation 13, is a mark that is prophesied to be the key to buying and selling after the Antichrist rises from the dead. In concordance to Scripture, taking the Mark will subject the person wearing the mark to affliction with the Bowl Judgments and finally, the Lake of Fire.
==In the Forgotten Series==
In Forgotten: The Mark, the mark is applied via biochip. A chip that reads either Nikolai Danilova's initials (N.I.D.) or the number 666 is implanted into a person's forehead or the right hand. Another way is to simply stamp the mark onto someone's forehead\right hand while the person is lying down on a gurney or bed. With the Mark, anyone can buy or sell; without it, trading is prohibited. As stated above, taking the Mark will subject anyone to the Bowl Judgments and later, the Lake of Fire.
==Appearances==
The Mark of the Beast is first seen in Forgotten: The Mark, where lots of people are taking the Mark, unaware that they'll bring themselves to their own doom. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Izaak Scantlan are captured by the Global Tyranny Army and forced to take the Mark, but they openly refuse, instead attacking their captors and later escaping the prison. The Mark is later seen used against Mac McCullum; he wakes up in a jail taking the form of an asylum. He is lying on a gurney in an operation room and surrounded by Global Tyranny soldiers and mark application employees. Mac breaks free and kills everyone in the room before running outside. He later sees Annie Christopher being tortured for refusing the mark. Mac breaks into an armory, grabs an M240 light machinegun and massacres Annie's tormentors. He later helps Annie escape.
The Mark is seen again in Forgotten: Armageddon, where Buck Steel comes up with "a way to take the Mark and get away with it." Mac has built a fake version of the mark application device and stamps a counterfeit mark, a faked implant of the number 666, on Buck's forehead. Mac himself stamps the mark onto his right hand and they go out in public while pretending to worship Danilova as a god.
