Perhaps think of it this way :

Perhaps, most people on earth are already ready and willing to receive the mark.
Perhaps, The system has been being set up for centuries.
They are told "don't worry, this IS NOT the mark of the beast" .
They are told "THIS will help you, and make things easier".
They are told "This is the truth."

And so, perhaps, most people on earth willingly get the mark, and die.
(many, perhaps many multitudes, of them suffer physically and many different ways grievously
for being willing to receive the mark,
as well as for receiving it, even before dying).

Even with many warnings. Perhaps.
And "perhaps" you didn't understand my question.

For me, its all about believing in Jesus. Having faith in Jesus. Loving Jesus. Doing His will.

Doesn't matter which denomination you belong to.

If you do all these things then you have nothing to worry about.

Mark of the beast! Bring it on i say! Nothing will take my love of Jesus away! Nothing! I would die for Jesus.

People, don't be scared. Be proud to be a brother of Jesus. As Padre Pio said:

"Pray, Hope and don't worry!"

Of course we should care, the mark of the beast cuts us off from God! We have to be ready and avoid it.

We already have false teachers telling people that once they are saved, that they can't lose their salvation, no matter how they live, no matter what they do. The potential for great deception has thereby been set.

I think I need to make 20 posts before I can do that... That's what I found in the tech forum.

??? in the whole history of the world,
there was only 2 times when most of the people WERE NOT deceived.
Do you remember those 2 times ?

No, not sure what you have in mind, but my point is that much, if not most, of the church here in America has fallen under certain very popular, but very false, teachings (and those who teach these things should know better).

Before you worry about the mark of the beast and accepting the mark you need to understand who the beast is in order to understand its mark.
It is based on worship. "those who worship the beast"
I have pasted a portion of this websites http://biblelight.net/antichrist.htm
contents below. Read and understand the history that fulfilled prophecy.

THE GREAT CATHOLIC DIVERSION REVEALED

The intent of both Futurism and Preterism was to be diversionary, to counter or offset the Protestant Historical interpretation, and present alternatives, no matter how implausible they might be. The result is evident from the following chart, which illustrates the three schools of interpretation regarding antichrist:


THE REIGN OF ANTICHRIST


1260yrs.gif


ANTICHRIST IS MOVED EITHER FORWARD OR BACKWARD IN TIME

Ribera's (a jesiut priest)Futurism Puts the Antichrist Into A Future Three and One-half Literal Years.
Alcazar's (a jesiut priest) Preterism Identifies the Antichrist as Nero.
Both of Them Put Antichrist Outside the Middle Ages and the Reformation Period,
Identified by Protestant Historicists as Antichrist's Reign of 1260 Prophetic Years.

Now the truly amazing part of all this is that the Futurist theory dominates Protestant teaching today. About all you hear or read about today is the yet-to-appear antichrist, who will be unveiled in the last 3 1/2 years of Daniel's 70th week, when he declares himself to be God in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. That scenario, as you can now see, is directly traceable back to the pen of the Jesuit Francisco Ribera. Note what one Protestant writer had to say over one hundred years ago:

Next we come to consider the time of the rise of the Futurist system as we now have it, and the occasion which led to it.
So great a hold did the conviction that the Papacy was the Antichrist gain upon the minds of men, that Rome at last saw she must bestir herself, and try, by putting forth other systems of interpretation, to counteract the identification of the Papacy with the Antichrist.

Correction: Only two times the world deceives, before the flood and in the last days. Remember?

Probably Adam and Eve before the fall, and Noah and family during the flood.
