The 'Mark of the Beast.'

Friends,
It's not just my imagination that many people and spirits [read:  STD---Satan the Devil] do NOT want me to continue posting such biblical thoughts, ideas and scriptural FACTS.   Lately, every time I try to post, my web site acts goofy and tries to rub the news out by blocking things, etc.   Actually,  Satan would rather have man kind NOT believe in him,  but rather his being a "quality" of just being bad, and the attack of his minions upon WE CHRISTIANS is ever present with no quarter [no let up].  

Please remember:   That the 'Mark of the Beast'  is something real and true, and all humans taking / accepting it can NEVER enter into God's Kingdom,  Heaven or Paradise on earth !   Death is nothing to fear or be afraid of, especially when we consider that one SECOND later we will be in Heaven with the Lord !   And beheaded with a sword is a quick way to go, as far as I am concerned, dear friends, speaking as a Soldier.    And Martyrs will receive a special crown, in their own category, if you will, having died for their faith in Lord Jesus !   Although the Rapture suits me just fine, too.   Living here on earth right now is the real test, IMHO....  with tons of temptation every day, or living with an UNBELIEVING SPOUSE.    All that constant negativity from a 'closed mind' with little barbs and cuts every day.  

And we must understand that our preaching / sharing work now has a two-fold purpose:  We not only spread the Gospel so people can have that opportunity to gain Salvation thru Jesus Christ,  but they are also be WARNED about the future, and the 'Mark of the Beast !'     And then when they are waist deep in 'quick sand,'  they will sadly remember the time when they still HAD A CHANCE TO TURN AROUND and find Salvation....  if only they had the humility and desire to follow Christ.   Too bad.  And even as we see some one physically beautiful and pretty,  all that 'goodness' won't count, but will be pour down the drain and wasted.   OUR real reward and glory will come ONE SECOND after we either die, get killed, or get Raptured, dear friends.  
      One thing does sometimes bug me, folks, and that is all the negative people and relatives around us too often point to our imperfections and past sins, personality flaws, after we get "Saved" and 'reason' that we could NEVER, EVER, POSSIBLY GO TO HEAVEN.... because we were such evil sinners in the past !   Well,  Christ didn't come to earth to help the healthy, good, wonderful people.   He came to help SINNERS, and cure others with sicknesses and deformities.... something that the Pharisees and Scribes could never understand, and the myopic block heads now days will ever understand nor accept !   In fact, I have seen many people change-- and some of them it seemed over night in to better, well adjusted men and women !!   My first wife of 22 years claims that I have slowed down, matured, am a much nicer guy, now, after I found the Lord !   Thank You, Karen.   I would like to see her progress too, before it is too late, along with my 2 daughters.   I believe that my only son, Andy, accepted the Lord, so he said, shortly before he was killed, Praise the Lord.   So you see,  if I had been to scared of preaching and sharing, too afraid of alienating my son from me, or afraid of being laughed at,  what would have happened ??   I know that I still trip and fall down too often, almost every day,  but I also know that God loves me, and the Holy Spirit has opened my eyes and heart.


 Now, hold that thought.

Still More On the Mark Of The Beast

Q.  I read the below piece recently, and it seemed to link with your thoughts regarding Satan’s activities before the flood, in interfering with the genes of animals.
“The mark of the Beast in the book of Revelation could be the key. Anyone who takes this mark can no longer be saved according to scripture. This mark may include an implanted bio-chip and/or a genetic altering that in some way changes the human genetic code from being made in the image of God into being transformed to an image of Satan. Thus, they are forever disqualified for salvation through the Kinsman Redeemer that God chose to save the human race (Jesus).”
What are your thoughts?

A.  This is the latest speculation concerning the mark of the beast.  Like everything that preceded it, this is human speculation based on current advances in technology.  Personally, I don’t think it will be necessary to have their DNA altered to prevent them from being saved.  God will know who has taken the mark, and will deny them entry into the kingdom.
Let me take this opportunity to emphasize that the mark of the beast will not be implemented until after the Great Tribulation begins (after the Church is gone), and everyone left will receive advance warning by God not to take it (Rev. 14:9-11).  Therefore, those who take it will do so knowingly and willingly.  Tribulation believers will be expected to forfeit their lives rather than take the mark (Rev. 14:12).
