Two issues here, Woody.

One is that I tend in a post-millennial direction; although I'm learning the strength of the pre-mil day-by-day.

However, there will be real live humans on earth in either case who will have to make a decision about the mark of the beast.

Does your theology actually allow you to take a mark? I thought I understood from the other amills that they still anticipate the anti-christ as a future event? Am I mistaken?

Correction to #770 ....POST-TRIB

I meant to say post-trib. "I tend a POST-TRIB direction."

Am I to understand that you are a Post-Millennialist?

No worrys! My Bible says that the beast causes all to receive a mark. No, no worrys about deciding anything.

Hey, do you have any scriptural evidence that the beast and the anti-christ are one and the same or are you just throwing stuff out hoping I'll eat it?

As for taking the mark--even if Revelation 13 is a future set of events, I don't have to worry about it. My life is hidden with Christ in God right now. Do you honestly want to tell me that somehow the beast is able to take my life from Him?

This is why being a Calvinist is sooo much more fun than being an Arminian. I already have eternal life over which the second death has no power.
