Revelations13:16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
I wrote a thread while in the Spirit, called "A Letter to My Friends"(which I consider you all to be). I learned something from this experience and would like your comments especially from my preterist friends. So I am posting a part of the letter. Please tell me what if anything you believe the mark to be.
Revelations 14:9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.

Preterist tell of a world where Christ reigns with no interference from Satan. They speak to you of this time as when all things have been renewed. They warm your heart by taking away fear of the unknown. They tell you that you will not have to live through a time of trial. The Earth will never be ravished by nuclear war. Their words are sweet as honey to your troubled minds.
Their message is to take NO heed to the warning in your Bibles. They are history books of another time and place and are not meant for you. The Antichrist is killed already. The mark is not to be. You can let down your guard now. Christ has returned. Satan is gone. The Antichrist is history.
How then can a mark be anything at all?
