Eventually, it’s going to come down to just about that. Take the Mark of the Beast and be able to buy and sell. You want to feed your family, right? Your kids are hungry. Take the Mark of the Beast and announce our “world leader” who confirmed the 7-year peace covenant as “messiah”. You’ll just need this 666 tattoo (Greek charagma - sp) on your right hand or your forehead.
But, if you refuse the Mark of the Beast, well, we’ll have to cut your head off. We’re just doing our job.
NOTE: The Mark of the Beast is NOT implemented until 1/2-way through the 7-year “peace covenant” that divides Israel. (1,260 days in).
So this is NOT happening tomorrow, or next week. The unbelieving world will think there is finally “Peace and Safety”.
