It means that we in the western world who face almost no persecution will at some point have to face the same persecution as many of the early christian believer who lost their job and sometimes even all their possessions because they believed in Jesus. Many christians around the world already deal with this concept of believe in Jesus and suffer.

Is that a question worth asking? If you do not believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you will not be saved no matter how many good works you do throughout your life. It is good to hope that everyone will be saved, but sadly that won't be the case according to the book of Revelation. Stating that every being will be saved is calling God a liar.

Let's not get mixed up with religion. People who believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and follow his commandments will be saved. Plain and simple. Do not try to twist what is said in the Bible to fit your likeness and your beliefs. God certainly desires all to be saved, but that is not going to happen according to dozens of Scriptures within the Bible.

Its Gods will that all will be saved but humans have free will so we a llhave a choice of life or death if its true that all will be saved then ur saying I can go live however I wish and not listen to God at all because im gonna be saved anyways and thats not the case because if were all gonna be saved no matter what then what's the point of following God now
I
I don't twist the scriptures. May God's will be done. If this is true to you then it is in fact you who resists His will. Instead of quoting scriptures and following the traditions of men in their lack of understanding, learn that grace is given to all. And you have about as much choice in it as you did when God asked you if you wanted to be born!

Free will is an illusion based in vanity. The bible says you are a slave. It is in vanity that we perceive to have a choice and indeed most choose death.
Isaiah 28:16-18
16Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Yep,
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Enmity:
ekh'-thrah
Feminine of G2190; hostility; by implication a reason for opposition: - enmity, hatred.
2190
ekh-thros'
From a primary word ἔχθω echthō (to hate); hateful (passively odious, or actively hostile); usually as a noun, an adversary (especially Satan): - enemy, foe.

If one were to do a serious study on marks and seals in Scripture we find that marks and seals are seen in visions (prophetic accounts) while they are not seen in the historical accounts. A perfect example of this is:
Eze 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
Eze 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Now let’s compare the prophetic account given in Ezeliels vision to the historical account given in 2Ch.
2Ch 36:17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
Could it be that these marks and seals are only seen in the spiritual world and not in the physical world? Can you see the seal of God on other believers?
As for as the number 666 goes, interestingly enough there is at least one sect of Moslems that openly claim the number and say it is the number of their false prophet who taught the exact opposite of the gospel. Read their own words HERE < link

You should learn about the essence of God before making such bold statements.
God can do what he wills to do, but He does not necessarily will to do everything that is possible to do. Omnipotence includes the power of self limitation. He has limited Himself, to some extent, by giving free will to His rational creatures. That is why He does not keep sin out of the universe nor does He force salvation universally upon mankind.
If I stopped serving God today and went out and lived a sinful life for the rest of my life without repentance, it wouldn't matter because I'd still be saved through His grace? There is something really wrong with what you believe. God is full of mercy and grace, but at the same time He is a consuming fire!

I have never understood until recently how someone who claims to Love The Lord could even think this.
But he said it in his own words "Quote" If I stopped serving God today It's a matter of works, and debt, And not The Love of God that brings us into Sonship, Relationship.
So if God has all to be Saved, without Serving all their lives, (like they have) Then they will stumble, and scream, it's not Fair.
Mat 20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Mat 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

its always "another generation",,,,it's always something "we will understand in that day",,,,we always say "those poor people who did not get it",,,,mankind always look's up on the computer to see the things they "are going to do with our money",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no one "sits down and takes out their wallet,,,and sets the money out in order and their s.s.card,,,,and their debit card,,,and their credit cards or their check book and thinks",,,,,,,,,,,,pin numbers in your forehead,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and "little cookies,,,in the trail",,,,,,"i'll lay down a r.f.i.d. here and another one here and another one here,,,,,,,,,,and they'll follow the trail,,,"away from the pin number in their forehead"
It's most likely to be a physical mark, since one cannot buy or sell without it, so it could be the start of a cashless society?? Christ already knows who is spiritually His, but embracing this physical mark will be pledging full allegiance to the system, which is of the world and not of God.
Scripture tells me that the Government and whore of Babylon religious leader are the two beasts. I think the Government will force everyone to receive the mark of the one world religion (since he will have that authority), then threatening to deprive the unwilling of food and income!
When the founding fathers came up with the constitutional rights, it was feared that future Presidents would be power hungry and might eventually find a way to cancel them all completely, which is why they took care in the wording. However - you can get the people to give up their rights unknowingly, then allowing the government to enforce martial law and take away everyone's freedom!
Somehow I just don't see myself applying for citizenship in this country anytime soon.
