In this clear biblical explanation, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries addresses a teaching that claims the innumerable multitude in Revelation 7 must include people whom God forgave after taking the mark of the beast. Pastor Mike explains why this interpretation is incorrect, clarifying that the phrase “a number no one can count” is a common idiom describing a vast crowd, not an uncountable one. He also affirms that the mark of the beast is a conscious act of allegiance and not something God later reverses. Many will be saved during the tribulation, but not those who knowingly take the mark.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?
