Word Studies - Mark

      Examining some word meanings give a better understanding of what God signifies in His Word.  A concordance is somewhat like a dictionary for Biblical words. It gives some of the Greek and Hebrew definitions.  Each word is given a number to make it easier to find in the concordance.  Examining words related to Revelation Chapter 13 is a very important exercise.  Investigation helps to clarify that the Bible is indeed inspired and agrees with itself and lets us know about the proper timing in relation to the Mark of the Beast.  Regular meanings for some words will also be included.  

     Many places in the Bible contain the word mark.  A mark can indicate good or evil, things, places, or other generic references.  

The word mark in Revelation 13 is described in the Concordance as the Greek word Charagma  

G5480 Charagma;  meaning stamp, an imprinted mark, brand, thing carved, sculpture, graven work of idolatrous images

G5482 Charax; to write, pointed stake,  palisade or rampart, mound for besieging, barricade from Charasso;   Sharpen to a point, scratching

G1125 Grapho; to delineate or form letters on a tablet, parchment paper, or other material, to write, to express in written characters, to commit to writing things to not be forgotten, used in those things written in the sacred books, to write to one, written epistle, to give information, directions, compose, it is written, record, die stamp on coin, marks validated by stamps or seals, image formed, idolatrous graven image, a volume written within and behind, 

G1124 Graphe; the holy scriptures, the 66 books of the Bible

Die, stamp on coin, brand, mark, ancient documents were validated by such stamps or seals.

The Bible says that we are not to make any graven images.  There are right ways to worship the Lord and wrong ways to worship.  We must be astute Bible students to know how to not worship false gods.
