What Is The Mark Of The Beast Spoken Of In Revelation?

Is the Mark Of The Beast spoken of in Revelation a literal, physical mark given only at a certain point in history by the Anti Christ and his prophet, as is so commonly thought today?  The answer in large part depends on how you view the book of Revelation itself.  As are so many of the things described in Revelation, it is quite possible that the Mark Of The Beast is a symbolic description for how believers do or do not stand up to unbiblical cultural, social and government forces across multiple periods of time.  In this podcast, Andy examines that view in providing an answer to the question.
