It is solidly chronological, as long as you understand where the parenthetical flash-backs begin and end.
.
I believe that, too.
You do understand that it cannot be "solidly chronological" if such is conditional, don't you?
So then everyone who ever lived or ever will live is going to burn in hell for all eternity? I don’t believe that. Every time you sin, it is a rejection of the Holy Spirit. Salvation is not reserved only for those who have never sinned.

Gospel of Mark 3:28-29
Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
Get a grip!
How else could simultaneous happenings be committed to parchment?

Salvation is reserved for those that love Yeshua enough to stop sinning.
Read John’s first epistle carefully if you don’t believe that.

You mark them clearly with uniform time values so that they are not difficult to understand. I do it all the time in the documents I write.

No it isn't. If you think so, give me an example of the crystal clear "parenthesis" rather than just berating me like a liberal panty-waste would.
You act like you understand exactly what Revelations says. I say you don't. I don't think Revelations indicates that the "Mark of the Beast" is an RFID microchip. You should prove that hypothesis if you can. It is important.
There are two questions in my text. No comments, no statements.
Actually, they are clearly marked, by the Biblical schedule of the Appointed Feasts, which is how to perfectly determine the beginnings and endings of each description.
Unfortunately 98% of “Christianity” is so abysmally ignorant of the Biblical calendar and the feasts, that they have no hope of understanding any of the Revelation.

If you wish, I can do that, but it will have to wait until Wednesday or so, because we have to pack and get out of here tomorrow morning to head up to the ranch to do some fire clearing for the next few days.
I don’t have to prove anything to you....the Bible is clear. YOu better get it right because you won’t get a second chance.
Go Ye, therefore, and teach all nations... Yes, you do. You were command to do so by Christ himself, good Christian.
Revelations is anything but clear. The Gospel of Christ, on the other hand, is perfectly clear. That is why I originally asked how any microchip could offset the Salvation of Christ. No microchip can do that. The Bible clearly states that Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Light, and the Way. Those who believe in Him as the Savior will go to Heaven. Nothing else is required and nothing can negate that Salvation. That is why I asked the questions. You did not know the answer, so YOU do not have a clear understanding of your Salvation through Grace and Grace alone.
More importantly,
Ephesians 2:8-9: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
The Bible also says “cast not your pearls before swine lest they turn and rend you” ..so NO I don’t have to tell you anything, you fall into the pious category of a ‘know it all’.
You run the risk of judgement, since you are warned, "Judge not lest you be judged".
I am a "know it all" in the respect that I know that Faith in Christ protects me from ALL evils, including Satin himself. The "Mark of the Beast" is completely immaterial under the power of the Cross. I know this for certain. It is all you need to know. You cannot save yourself by what you do or do not do. Faith in Christ is a gift of Grace. If you don't see this as an obvious truth, then you need to examine your Faith.
Just as there were precursors to anti-Christ, I believe there are also precursors to the ‘mark’ of the beast. Social Security numbers and chipping human beings being two.
Reading prophecies by Catholic saints, the mark of the beast is said to be something branded or visible to others on the forehead. Here is a quote by St. Hildegard describing the mark:
The mark (of Antichrist) will be a hellish symbol of Baptism, because thereby a person will be stamped as an adherent of Antichrist and also of the Devil in that he thereby gives himself over to the influence of Satan. Whoever will not have this mark of Antichrist can neither buy nor sell anything and will be beheaded.
“He will oblige all his followers to bear impressed upon their foreheads or right hands the mark of the Beast and will starve to death all those who refuse to receive it.” (St. Cyril of Jerusalem)

So be it!
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.~Philippians 1:21
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.~Psalm 63:3
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.~Galatians 2:20
