Re Mark of the beast:
That may be, but I think God will have compassion for those who really didn’t know or believe the vaccine was evil.
In order to sin, you must have knowledge of the gravity of the sin and then willfully choose to do it anyway.
President Trump took the stage today at Mar-a-lago and someone covertly grabbed some video.
If you’ve been waiting to hear some REALLY good news from our President, this is it!
Here’s short clip:
“The question I get asked more than any other question is ‘can you assure us that our vote in 2022 and 2024 will count?’… and we will assure you, we’ll never let that happen again – and we haven’t stopped working on that. By the way, we’re not stopping and we have some big things currently in the works…”
He sounds very sure!
While I agree on your picture of defaulting to grace, in this instance there is something of the mark that is a black or white issue.
We’re told that the only sin that is not forgivable is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. We’re also told that whoever takes the mark is condemned. When this becomes THE mark, everyone all know what they’ve chosen.
Are they condemned because they willing changed their DNA mixing it with (for instance), pig DNA? Thereby “making anabomination that makes desilate” our bodies, the Temple of the Holy Spirit?
Are they condemned because they morphed their bodies into the internet through neuro-digital connections (either wirelessly or through an embedded chip), thereby being a part of the beast supercomputer?
I don’t know but these two are my current guesses.
The text hints that this will be clearly understood by those who participate in the beast global (government/religious/financial) system. It will not be a trick. You will know what you’re getting into.
So, for now, this isn’t the mark.
But it is paving the way toward it.
