You are way off base. Not one of us would take the mark. I don’t pretend to know it all, but the pre trib rapture fits the best with the 20 or so years of study I have been doing regarding the end times for numerous reasons. If the rapture is not pre-trib, Christ will get me through it, but in no way am I in danger of losing my salvation over end times doctrine. Again, the mark of the beast is not something you will be able to take without knowing its import.

It’s good that you’re open-minded, but if the mark is something that is not already existent, consider what I see as the “softening up” of newer generations.

Do you have and/or plan to get any tattoos? How about other body modifications, like body piercings?

Would you like to have a way to hedge your money against hyperinflation? Does the idea of a cashless society, which is almost a reality, excite you? Would you like to have a currency that’s impossible to steal, and would thus deter robbery and muggings? And make identity theft non-existent?

How about a paperless medical system, where you can go to the doctor and never worry about forgetting to tell them about allergies or other parts of your medical history?

Or how about your child or dementia-afflicted parent ever getting lost again? No more kidnappings or deaths from exposure for these loved ones?

These are just some of the things promised (and in some cases already delivered) by advanced mobile and tracking technologies.

Imagine this carrot dangled in front of you while the stick is waiting to whack you in the head: no more easy meals or medicine (even OTC) or countless other comforts of civilization unless you adopt a particular technology.

It would be VERY hard to resist, assuming you even knew what the implications were.
