Since election is true doctrine it only makes sense to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly even be unable to hold a job, since they would have no money to buy, or be unable to sell anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will they be able to tell who is with them and who is a Christian? That little chip ... As the world heads down the path it is now on, the monetary system will likely collapse as we know it, where there will be just one way to buy and sell, keeping track of it all by computers. It's basically the same as it is today, except, there will be no money, but implants that can be programmed with all the information about the person. Their health, education, birth records, criminal records, financial records and what ever else they wish to track. They already have the technology, but the time is not right to bring the idea out in the open ... the big brother syndrome. The world will have to in a place where every country will agree to work together in order to survive. This is where the spirit of the Anti-Christ comes into play. Not everything will be spiritual. Some will have to be physical. This would also include the sealing of the 144,000. When the AC starts to come into play, those who have been watching will see the signs. They will remember what His word said about the 144,000, but will also remember that Satan can come as an angle of light. Because of this, God will seal these Jewish Virgins who has been chosen from the beginning of time to bring His people back to Him. The 144,000 are not for the world, but for Israel. Since the Jewish people never accepted Jesus as their savior, they do not have the Holy Spirit in them to seal them and it is very possible that even the very elect could be deceived. Yes, His Spirit will be with all who are His and who have been chosen by Him. They will not be lost Something to think about ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will know us because some of us will not be hiding in fear and preaching truth. How did they know who paul was. Others will know us because of the Glory in us and not in them. Have you ever come across someone who would not come near you or did not like you for no reason. Good doesn't get spread about but ugly will. It says our own christians sisters and brothers wil give us up as well as our own children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest man Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Rev. 13 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. I believe religion is going to play a major role in the end. Notice what it says about those who won't worship the image of the beast. A true believer will not kneel before a false god. That's how they will know who is with them and who is against them. Something will be put in place that will enable them to recognized us as being followers of Christ. A ritual or some sort of pledge of allegiance to the beast. I don't know. But I believe it will have something to do with the believer denying Christ and praising the beast. It will be a spiritual war with physical consequences. Those consequences being the physical death of the believer. A show of power for the beast. The implanting of a chip in the hand or forehead is plausible, but for the number of people that are going need this chip, the financial drain would be too high. Not to mention the time it would take to accomplish this task. A spiritual mark takes no longer then the blink of an eye. No surgical instruments are needed. Hundreds of thousands if not millions could be marked in an instant. Like I said....it's just a theory of mine. I'm not saying this how it's going to be. Just something to think about. Peace.
