Revelation 17:8- and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
shouldnt have to wonder you should know if your in grace and seek virtue pretty obvious your name in the holy book

So you wont see the beast..?


The text doesn't say that everyone that sees the beast, their name won't be in the book of life. The text only says, those whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world. That's two entirely different things altogether.

Our name has been in that book since the foundation of the world and cannot be erased by anyone. Our names are carved in stone. Satan cannot repossess us no matter what he tries. I do not fear the "mark of the beast" because either I will be raptured out of here in advance (which I'm inclined to believe) or I'll die refusing the mark because it will be so obvious that the mark is essentially accepting the antichrist as God, and none of us sealed by the Holy Spirit can be subject to that mark.
