Be ready to recognize it

This topic is moving from a religious curiosity discussion into a Spiritual “need to know.” We are ever closer to its coming than just a few years ago. 

 This mark is not simply about a physical symbol or even a technology – it’s about an allegiance, worship, and the eternal destiny of one’s soul.

 Here are some points to consider in recognizing the Mark when it comes out:

•      Upon “receiving” the mark, one’s fate is sealed forever. There is no repentance from this decision; the consequence is eternal.

•      The Mark is about choosing who one’s God will be.

•      The Mark is about Worship.

•      The Mark is about Serving Lucifer (Satan).

•      The Mark is Idolatry.

•      The Mark is a Religious Act Centered on the Antichrist.

•      The Mark will be required for Economic Participation. Effectively Controlling the Global Economy. Forcing People to Choose Between Survival and True Faith in Christ. Food and Health Care will be under the Mark. 

•      The Choice to NOT take the Mark will be a Choice to Depend on God for Every Provision. God Provided Manna in the Wilderness.

•      The Mark will be enforced by Deceptive Miracles, like in Egypt with Moses and Pharaoh.

The Mark is also about Worship. 

Deuteronomy 8:19-20

Exodus 20:1-5

Revelation 13:14-15

Satan has always sought worship that only belongs to God. Through the Mark of the Beast, Satan (Lucifer) will make His last attempt to be worshipped in the creation above the worship of God the Creator. Knowing His status of Eternal Damnation, He will seek to hurt God through jealousy, regarding the worship that is only to be given to God.

Matthew 4:8-11

Isaiah 14:12-19

Luke 10:17-20

The Mark of the Beast serves as the symbol of allegiance to Satan that those in the world will be forced to worship and serve. It is far more than any societal compliance (buying or selling), but a direct rejection of God in the declaration of loyalty to Satan’s Kingdom. It is about who one chooses to worship and serve. This is the ultimate idolatry that God has repeatedly warned against through the scriptures.

It is through this rejection of God and the acceptance of Satan which shows the consequences of eternal damnation are shown for all who receive the Mark of the Beast. The Angels that accepted Lucifer were cast out of Heaven with Him. These angels have no repentance. The Devil and the Angels that followed Him are destined for the Lake of Fire. Unfortunately, the souls of those deceived, who are not found written in the Book of Life, are also cast into the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 20:10

Matthew 25:41

revelation 20:14-15

The Mark of the Beast is the ultimate betrayal against God

Matthew 12:31-33

Matthew 15:8-9

Deuteronomy 11:13-17

John 4:23-24

The deception that will follow the Mark of the Beast will be powerful, appealing, and compelling. Only through spiritual discernment will a person be able to see it for what it truly is – Idolatry. The receiving of the Mark of the Beast will also be a religious act in conformity with this world.

Romans 12:2

Receiving the Mark of the Beast will be carried out as a religious act in allegiance to the Antichrist

Revelation 13:11-16
