You know for awhile there I thought the same thing, but then I found this:
Proverbs 23:23
"Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding."
If accepting Jesus Christ's teachings is considered "buying the truth", it becomes less clear if the mark of the beast is something literal or subsequent of a mentality
So basically what you're saying is the mark of the beast is going to be most prevalent whenever religion is completely banned from every country in the world, so that you can no longer accept Jesus or sell his word?
For that to happen the U.S would have to be wiped off the planet, freedom of religion won't be going anywhere even if there is persecution.
I remember having a very very vivid dream about a Russian plane bombing us, and have read several other stories of people that dreamed that the Russians were bombing us (several saying they were in the Seattle area in the dream).
I just think it's FAR more likely that the RFID could be it because with technology nowadays, if you implant someone with it, the government can very very easily control you through the nervous system. Or, if the cyanide thing is true, kill you.
Honestly? I'm not sure what it is, I think in order to understand what it is you have to have it. But you must consider these things:
God exalted you and placed you above the world the moment He caused you to realize the truth about the world (the New World Order, the Illuminati, the ways of the serpents etc). He made a perch for you above the city of Babylon and said to you "Behold, the city, mother, and heart of iniquity." It was YOU that nodded at this sentiment, saying back to Him, "Indeed, Father, and I rebuke all that which is before me." You could have beheld it and been astonished or desired its riches, but you didn't, did you? This is one of the many mysteries of your heart that has revealed itself.
It is enough for a man to understand what the Master requires of Him, that is to say the knowledge of the occult is not necessary for the salvation of anyone who has accepted Christ, but it is a great honor to become that kind of blade to be used in His combat. This is not to say that seeing what you see somehow makes you better, but it does indeed mean you have been selected for a specific task and are being tempered for that task. Therefore as a similar creature I urge you to always listen to Christ above any other authority and any other person, as you likely do. God has imbibed in you specific knowledge and He will not fail to complete what He has begun in you. I understand without a doubt that Jesus Christ has begun this work in you and He WILL finish it.
Philippians 1:6
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
Do not be worried about the dangers of this world, you have already been set apart from it. In order to understand the answer you have to listen to what God is saying about it, and honestly I don't know the answer because He hasn't told me. I get the inclination that it's either not important or those who will not receive it will never understand what it is.
I have two questions for you,
Do you worry for the souls of the lost?
Do you think it is one worry that is alright to have (The Lord tells us not to worry)?
Jesus Christ is God and has a plan (which I refer to as The Plan, or the Plan). God's plan is perfect, therefore in what ways should I be worried? By being worried I am kind of insinuating God hasn't a clue as to what He's doing and He somehow needs my help to get things done right, which obviously isn't true. I am not the messiah nor is it my responsibility to save people neither is it my power to do so. It is our responsibility to save ourselves and to do the Will of God. None of us are teachers or saviours. I think perhaps the reason you feel this way may be because you're jealous (like God's jealousy when He claims us as His own, not envy).
I will tell you this, though: For a long time after becoming illuminated by the Light of Christ I was absolutely vexed by worry and overwrought with the stress of trying to become the world's saviour. I was not angry, but I most certainly was quite retaliatory and violent towards the world (intellectually speaking, not physically). I desire my ideologies, my attitude, my perseverance, my ability to reason and convince, and my very existence on this planet to be an act of rebellion against everything Babylon stands for. That's what I mean by "violent".
Why was this my reaction? I should have been still. Finally, He spoke to me: "Why do you persist to struggle? This war is mine."
I couldn't help but laugh and say out loud, "OH THANK GOD."
I suppose it can be likened to a person wildly swinging around a sword (I have a whole personal creed about this I call the Law of Bushido). Everything about oneself that is dedicated to this path can be likened to the temperance of their "sword" and the way they employ it upon the enemy.
You don't need to do anything but what God specifically commands you to do when He commands you to do it. It takes awhile to learn to be still, and it may be a very long time until you cease to react with your own will entirely and completely express God's will in everything you do. It has been a little less than a year since I have completely stopped doing things of my own initiative and only speak and act when I am explicitly being told to by God.
That's pretty much it, bro. XD
Well said, I'm afraid a lot of people will do the same thing as your preacher.. I'm not sure how this type of martyrdom will be seen in the eyes of God, but he makes it VERY VERY VERY clear that if you take the mark, you're doomed. Since he's a preacher, he should know better than most that death due to faith is the ultimate sacrifice. Yes, it will be absolutely horrific to see people die of starvation, but in the end why does it matter? If we get the kingdom of Heaven as a reward? I would trade anything in the world for Heaven. I would die RIGHT NOW in the most painful way possible for Heaven. Wouldn't you?
I also don't agree with pre-trib rapture due to 0 scriptural evidence, and that it only being a teaching that started in 1750. If it is true? Then GREAT!
More scriptually accurate would be mid-trib (3 1/2 years of AC), or post trib (several instances of God wanting us to go through tribulation).
I'm really hoping people at least think there's a possibility it's not pre-trib, because if they keep thinking that, they won't be ready for the tribulation. I'm ready to go through the whole 7 years, if need be.
Why? Because people are going to say "I thought The Lord was going to rapture us, where are you Lord? WHERE ARE YOU?" And then lose faith. I don't want to see that happen...

in regard to the highlighted part ,i think it quite the opposite . the only religion to be banned will be those who believe in the lord Jesus and will not submit to Islam or bow to Rome .So basically what you're saying is the mark of the beast is going to be most prevalent whenever religion is completely banned from every country in the world, so that you can no longer accept Jesus or sell his word?

remember that part of this system has a FALSE PROPHET.
islam says "submit or die" so its base law system allows for the death penalty on religios grounds and western nations are allowing Islam to infiltrate in an unprecedented level.
the only other mass religions are Hinduism budhaism and roman-catholism
Hinduism and and such already hold an accepting or all embracing philosophy so they will integrate without much resistance . rome has said that men are God and seeks the unity of the Islamic via their one agreeing point - the so called Queen of stars in islaam and the so called queen of heaven in roman-catholism .
no Born again believer can accept either of these blasphemies - but once they agree that it is the same entity and declare a unity between the two religions .. then comes death to those who will not submit .
Rome has a strong clear historical record of killing people for not submitting to it and Islam holds the same record up to this day .
so i think it wont be an absence or banning of religions but the emergence of the apostate religion .. (its already here but it will unite and make itself openly known )
after all those who take the mark also "worship" the beast

Just to clarify my position, I don't believe this discussion should be used as a way to "cheat" prophecy and learn to be in the right place at the right time. I get the feeling from what RDKirk is saying, that he thinks the purpose of this thread is to come up with an action plan to avoid any kind of persecution. Perhaps some people here are interested in that, but I don't believe that's why the book of Revelation was given to us.
Well... My major question to that is, since the vast majority of Americans, and a lot of the world, are atheists, how would THEY unite under a religion?
I know that atheism is about worshiping others (celebrities), and is essentially satanism since it's the worship of self. But they THINK they are not religious at all. So would they all agree to submit to a religion?
As for your explanation of the mark... maybe. But with today's technology I wouldn't be surprised if the chip could imprint the same symbol on to your hand, not visible to others. Our technology is mind blowing if you think about it, but it's NOTHING compared to what our military has access to. Their technology is 30-40 years more advanced than what we see.
And I agree that we're letting Islam infiltrate, I mean, our PRESIDENT is Islamic. Lol. Although, I don't believe in condemning all of Islam, not until I have absolute proof they're the "anti Christ's army". They have good people just like us, and bad people. They're still people, if they grew up in the wrong religion they most likely didn't have much of a choice.
