The Mark of the Beast

[Crusader4Christ]

When that time comes, and parents decide that there children will receive the Mark of the Beast, will these children be damned to Hell? In Revelation, it says that all who receive the mark will have the wrath of God to deal with, plus the Lake of Fire.

So, will children also suffer judgments if their parents decide that they should take it?

Wow- I never thought about that before. I would love to hear what others think...

The Mark, like every sin, is about intention. If a child is a baby and has the mark put on them but they accept Christ later on, they will be saved.

These are the verses I'm referring to:

Revelation 14:9-11

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead,

or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with

fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

The problem with the first part is the key word "and". In other words they have to worship and recieve the mark. Recieving the mark is an act of worship to the Beast...thus if done to a baby unwillingly or to any person for that matter, they are not condemned to hell.

I agree with you on this.

In my opinion, I do believe that children who are forced to take the mark will be made exception to the rule since they did not decide to take it. I posed this question just to get some other opinions, because I could be wrong.

True enough. I thought about that "and" in there also.

Greetings,

I do not believe the "MoB" is a "physical" thing, although I am not about to take the "chip" if one is ever required.

In the "Left Behind series", one of the latter books describes a guy by the name of "Chang" who was forced to take the "mark". It then goes on to say that he was saved anyway. This, as well as the rest of that series is all lies or fables.

In order to understand what the "MoB" is you also have to understand that before ANY of God's saints are confronted with this "mark", they are SEALED on their FOREHEAD (mind, spirit) by the Spirit of God and they WILL NOT take the "MoB". No one or nothing can FORCE them to take the "MoB". Children who may be saved CANNOT AND WILL NOT have the "mark" forced on them.

When you give due consideration to this "sealing" of the saints of God, then you begin to realize that the "MoB" is NOT physical, but a "spiritual Mark". The "Mark on the forehead or on the RIGHT hand", could rightly be interpreted as the "mind or spirit of this world/Satan which a person adopts AND their DEEDS (right hand -strength, works)" fall into line with the world/Satan.

The 666 is representative of man without God, whose "perfect" number is "777". Three representing the "tripartite nature" of both God and man.

Blessings,

Just to let you know where I'm coming from, I do not think that children who receive this mark (whether it be spiritual or physical), will be condemned to hell. But the question needed to be asked anyways, because this is a salvation issue.
