MARK OF.......?

[SACREDWARRIOR]

For those who hold an interest in " END TIMES" (eschatology),

much speculation and interest has been devoted to...."THE MARK"

what it is, how it will be enforced, where it will be placed etc....

the real concern should be, understanding just WHO authorizes the mark to be created in the first place & WHY!!!!!

READ CAREFULLY the passages below..........GOD HIMSELF BRINGS THE DECEPTION AND GIVES THE BEAST THE POWER AND OR AUTHORITY... TO CARRY IT OUT.....NOW READ CAREFULLY, ON WHO & WHY!!!!

[Rev 13:16-17 NASB95] 16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and [he provides] that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, [either] the name of the beast or the number of his name.

[2Thessalonians 2:9-12 ] 9 [that is,] the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, WITH ALL POWER AND SIGNS AND FALSE WONDERS 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, BECAUSE they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason GOD WILL SEND UPON THEM them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they ALL MAY BE JUDGED who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

[Rev 17:13, 17 NASB95] 13 "These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. ... 17 "For GOD HAS PUT IT IN THEIR HEARTS TO EXECUTE """"""HIS""""""" PURPOSE by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.

This is the deciding point when one chooses God or Satan.  So I may go hungry but I see only one choice.

@NConly My understanding also of Matthew 24 and similar passages is that these events relate to the Great Tribulation after the church has gone.

Yes you are right the church should be gone. I was just making a point of my choice it I were to have to make one in a sitution like that.

I agree. 

Whether the mark is a direct command from God or if it's just a result of Satan given free reign to be Satan, I don't know. 

Certainly God allows it.

Here is wisdom Rev 13:18

The exhortation is for those with understanding to calculate.

If your name adds up to it . . . it would be wise to give ruling the world a miss.

If one were the one tapped to be the guy, could destiny be resisted?

Good question. My thinking is that if the criteria is met, the die would be cast and resistance would not even be considered.

Since we are not of the kingdom of the beast, come what may. 

I remember when credit cards and then wireless data transmission from the cards were a thing. People worried. Today you can use only your smart phone to buy things. People worried. Still the 'beast' has not arrived. At least not in that way.

From what I see Satan has been working slowly even though he knows his time is short. Slowly in the way we think of it. CDCs are going to be a thing very soon. The dollar has shifted from the petro dollar. The balance of financial power is ebbing from the west. Pretty soon your money will be managed by world interests with world agendas and we may be affected in other ways for our beliefs.

This is just another stage of the game in my opinion. CDCs could go on for a good while after they are implimented.  Are any of my theories bible? Not really. I am simply looking at past trends and where we seen to be headed. Accepting that mark whatever shape it will take, will mean bowing to the beast. Here's another tinfoil hat zinger, Some prophetic people claim to have seen into the future where people take the mark. After they take it they are essentially heartless zombies. Never the same again. What do you make of that? Too far off the cliff? Elon's implant technology is now being put into humans. He explains it as an IO device. They can then read your mind and send you 'things'. Just another benny for those taking the mark possibly. 

Feet back on the ground. We are not to worry about any of this if it goes down in this way. God is in control and will see to it we are guided under His hand.

Fact- We are fast  moving to a world economy managed by world interests. Said interests have other things up their sleeves for the near future according to my sources. False flags and covid like stuff. Sources-Redacted and the like, sort of like an undercurrent press. 

Speaking as an American, America has millions of illegals here. Many ready to jump into something from the inside out. I believe we have been set up under the guise of helping immigrants. It's going to get interesting. Hopefully some will wake up. 

This next election will either stall the attempts or fuel them.Not intending to get political. God is in control no matter what. He often lets things get bad. A biblical precident.

Yes. 

Some think he's a man possessed, others think he, it, is an interdimensional entity. I'm convinced of what the scripture says, "healed from a deadly head wound" to terrible purpose; whatever that looks like.
