"...where no man, rich or poor, free or bond, will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast on his right hand or forehead."
None of this, the UN, the mark of the beast, none of it can be stopped. It's already in motion. All we can do is serve the Lord and try to be as happy as we can be until Rapture.
And yet, the Bible exhorts all believers to fight evil wherever it confronts us. So I'll work and volunteer and vote and if it comes to it, die bloody, before I'll submit. My wife feels exactly the same way. God Bless her.
As long as we have our friends in Church, our friends here on Free Republic and take the time to drink in God's splendor, we'll know we are not alone, either in Heaven or on Earth. Right?
