Matthew 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come."
Daniel 12:4 (
KJV) "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
Matthew 24:5-9"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all
these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these
are the beginning of sorrows"
The mark of the beast will be next after the beast that speaks as a dragon makes the earth to wonder after the beast. The mark people will either believe in it or accept it because of economic reasons. The mark of the beast the world will accept it because it will be held up as the reason all these bad things are happening and that we must accept the mark of the beast to stop the bad things from happening.
