Is suicide better than taking the mark of the beast...?
What I mean is your eternally, "eternally" condemned if you take the mark of the beast, but, no one can buy or sell and would pretty much considered an outcast and life could be very, very difficult if you refuse to be a part of new world order/world system...
You might be greatly persecuted, even hunted down by them, near the end...
I think I would rather commit suicide than either choice, but there is something to be said for those greater than I refusing it and living their very hard life to the bitter end...
I don't know if I could do it, but I don't want to take the mark...
God Bless!
Please listen beloved of Christ Jesus. The mark of the beast is not a simple switch that can be forced upon you at gun point, rather it is a choice that you make willingly, in denying Jesus Christ, by accepting and embracing the abomination of desolation.
What ever the Abomination of desolation is, the all atoning and all sufficiency of the blood of Christ is your daily sacrifice that provides you with the promise and protection under the covenant of grace.
If you in your mind, heart, soul, strength and being reject the daily sacrifice of Jesus Christ for another path, then you are lost. No one can physically do this at gun point, because it requires that you do it willingly and not by force. This is one thing that the devil has against God to prove him wrong, is to get you to do it willingly.
What does it say.....
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand,
Let us say, that an earthly messiah manifests and temple sacrifices commence and he requests that you offer him a sacrifice other than the once of sacrifice of Jesus Christ, then you are denying the grace of God willingly by faith.
In essence they can impregnate you with electronic devices, on the condition that you reject the blood of Christ. What the devil wants is to make the entire world a Judas Escariot.
If you hold onto your faith, then they will either kill you or you will be starved to death. So if you try to save your flesh, you will loose Jesus Christ. If you kill yourself you will loose Jesus Christ.
You and every faithful must die for Jesus Christ when you are pressured to reject Jesus Christ's saving blood.
