Several years ago, celebrated scholar and pastor John MacArthur, when asked during a bible class if a person could take the mark of the beast and still be saved, shockingly replied, "Yes." This response started a firestorm of controversy that is still burning today. On Dr. MacArthur's behalf, several well-known Evangelicals have come to his defense by affirming his position, even though it directly contradicts the Scriptures.
In this episode, we examine this controversy in depth. John MacArthur, like most Evangelicals, teaches a pre-trib rapture. However, what if pretrib is wrong--and we believe it is--and the church is still here during the reign of the Antichrist? Then, his teaching about salvation after the mark of the beast could influence millions of Christians' decisions on whether or not to take the mark of the beast. Welcome to the Revelation Revolution.
