What are the churches saying about Digital ID, the mark of the beast, transhumanism etc?
My church is silent on these things so I intend to ask them what their views are and how we are to guard against all of what is likely to come as a result of the pursuit of the above.
It would be good to know if any churches are assisting and how?
Hi Chubby,
This is what I believe based on Scriptures.
We are told the mark of the beast is the battle over worship.
A beast is a kingdom or government Dan7:23
Rev 13:2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like
the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.
The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed
. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4
So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who
is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
Rev 13: 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has [
g]the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The mark of the beast is only something this government that has great authority can tell you what their mark is. They have actually already done so.
Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “
Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come;
and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” (Exo20:11)
8 And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon[
f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city,
because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone
worships the beast and his image, and receives
his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever;
and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith
of Jesus.
So the end time final war will be over worship. We are told whoever we obey is who we serve (or worship) Rom6:16
Jesus defined false worship as
Mark7:7 And
in vain they worship Me,
Teaching
as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men
We are told this beast or government system changes God's times and laws.
Dan 7:25 He shall speak
pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute[
j] the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then
the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.
False worship is elevating mans traditions over the commandments of God and Jesus was quoting from the Ten Commandments, God's own written and spoken Testimony Exo31:18
This beast system changed God's times and laws based on their authority which there is only one law that is both a time (every seventh day Exo20:10) and law (4th commandments Exo20:8-11) and we have a clear history of it being changed not by God that most the world has followed (wondered after)
The mark is not going to be a literal mark but they could enforce a literal mark through buying and selling if we do not follow their authority over God's. God will have His own mark/seal that only He knows who has Isa8:16 Eze20:20 and this group of people will be faithful to God and His commandments and we see clearly these two groups in Rev14:11-12
