The 'mark of the Beast' is a part of Revelation many assume to still be mysterious to modern readers, but a literal reading can reveal insight into the prophecy. While couched in prophetic language, and written about an age that the writer was not familiar with, Revelation still has straight-forward teaching that modern readers can understand exegetically. Arno Froese, publisher of Midnight Call magazine, writes clearly in the pre-tribulationist tradition to illustrate end times prophecy with current events.
