The recent thread in miscellaneous forum about living without money reminds me of an idea I have for a movie plot.
The movie will be set mid tribulations, so all pre-trib believers will hate it immediately. It will be about a community of Christians trying to survive during the tribulation. One of them volunteers to take the mark of the beast so he can do all the buying and selling necessary to keep the community going.
Of course I know it won't really be like that. You will need the mark for things like driving, healthcare access, etc. But it would be a good idea for a movie, and much more realistic than the current tripe being passed as Christian movies.
They could really ham it up too. There could be a scene where the volunteer's spouse tearfully begs the volunteer to not do it. There could be multiple scenes of other people in the community expressing gratitude or remonstrating with him about the foolishness of his actions.
