Yes it makes me sick how these groups blaspheme God.
I don't know how or what is next for mankind, but i know that before Jesus comes there will be a mark (666, i don't think it is literal), and the world must choose if it wants it. The Devil will appear as an angel (messenger, as a Christ) of light, and deceive the very elect.
How will all the world receive this mark or accept this message with so many religions? They need to have a common God and that means they need to take away the straight testimony of the bible.
I don't claim to know what will happen but i do know that Jesus overcame the Devil by knowing the scripture.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
I think just my own thought to be marked of the devil or beast is whether we serve his spirit or Gods
“In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.”
1 John 3:10-12 KJV
Cain received a mark and was selerated from Gods presence and became a castaway but myself also I don’t know for sure it seems like how we spend our lives and whether we serve the devils spirit in this world or repent and believe the gospel and walk in Christs spirit would be what ultimately marked us one way or the other
some think it’s a literal mark like a tattoo o here think it’s a chip of some sort , credit card number ect but I think for myself it’s probably a mark upon our soul that makes us either Gods child or satans child
If we serve the worldly things we’re welcomed by the worlds system but if we serve Gods kingdom it makes us outcast from the worldly system I see that growing in the earth now days .
if we agree with biblical principles the world is really changing against our morals and beliefs ( same sex marriage , transgender acceptance , all the tech and entertainment , over 1000 accepted and recognized religions that are expected to be acceptable ) just the whole fiber of the earth seems to be changing
I think it has to do with who’s do listen we are bearing the mark I mean
“Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.( Matthew 13:3-9)
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom;
but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil;
the harvest is the end of the world; and
the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;
so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Matthew 13:36-43 KJV
