Mark of the Beast - End Times: Class One

Be ready to recognize itThis topic is moving from a religious curiosity discussion into a Spiritual “need to know.” We are ever closer to its coming than just a few years ago.   This mark is not simply about a physical symbol or even a technology – it’s about an allegiance, worship, and the eternal destiny of one’s soul.  Here are some points to consider in recognizing the Mark when it comes out: •      Upon “receiving” the mark, one’s fate is sealed forever. There is no repentance from this decision; the consequence is eternal.•      The Mark is about choosing who one’s God will be. •      The Mark is about Worship. •      The Mark is about Serving Lucifer (Satan). •      The Mark is Idolatry. •      The Mark is a Religious Act Centered on the Antichrist. •      The Mark will be required for Economic Participation. Effectively Controlling the Global Economy. Forcing People to Choose Between Survival and True Faith in Christ. Food and Health Care will be under the Mark.  •      The Choice to NOT take the Mark will be a Choice to Depend on God for Every Provision. God Provided Manna in the Wilderness. •      The Mark will be enforced by Deceptive Miracles, like in Egypt with Moses and Pharaoh. Revelation 14:9-11God takes this transgression very seriously. Receiving the Mark is a transgression of the Word of God. Just what is the transgression? The acceptance of the Mark is, in God’s view, the rejection of God by the alignment of oneself with the forces of Evil.  God sent His angels to warn John, to warn all peoples of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people through the reviled Word of God. Matthew 18:16 Revelation 14:6-10This angelic proclamation is made to not just one person; as in other biblical messages, this is sent by angels to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. This is a serious judgment from God that bears eternal weight.  In addition to the angels, God will send two other witnesses who will prophecy for three and a half years.Revelation 11:3-12These two witnesses are to warn of impending wrath against evil doers and to call all people, kindreds, tongues, and nations to repentance. Their testimony will seem like torment to those who oppose God and worship things that provoke God to jealousy. The whole world will have access (technology) to their testimony and warnings. Thus, everyone will hear and be accountable for their own transgressions and sins as they fall for the Antichrist and the false prophet.Luke 17:26-30
