Excellent work!! I read every word it was so well done. America is such an empire, and the time may soon come when we will have to choose whether to try and survive on our own, or take the mark in order to buy and sell. My personal belief, which I wholeheartedly believe scripture supports, is that the Church will be raptured before this happens. I know many Christians disagree.
19th century and later American dispensationalists are about the only Christians who hold to a pre-tribulation rapture that I am aware of. In Matthew 24:40, the ones taken away are the unrighteous for judgement, not the righteous being raptured to Heaven. The righteous remain, preserved by God. You have to read it in context with the previous verses, Matthew 24:37-39 in light of Noah and the flood as the unrighteous were swept away.
Yes — “left behind” has been totally misunderstood. In Noah’s day, being left behind meant you survived under God’s protection; the ones taken were the ones judged.
Funny how it’s been reversed (Don’t tell Kirk Cameron) 😏
Yes Joshua I get this a lot. I will never understand why Christians whose eschatology differs care to argue about it.
It’s what I choose to believe. I can cite just as many verses supporting my position. I don’t think this is something God would want us arguing about. Time will tell.
Hi KayAnne, I wasn’t arguing but rather hoping to help you see that there isn’t a need to be worried. I know many who believe in the pre-trib rapture and they also seem to struggle with assurance. No harm meant🙏
I am never worried! The worst thing that can happen to me is the BEST thing that can happen to me!! No offense taken and my God be with you as you press on in His service. 🙏
Well, it is so splendid my dear Father ABBA that you have chosen another faithful vessel of an ambassador of you and your son Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit to give a critical message about the Mark at this time of this generation and the hour being late. Dear Sergio thank you for doing such a subject and making it understandable when most things out there are complicated with argon not such as this laymen terms. Some of us fail English teaching in school and still struggle these days especially with spiritual scriptural matters.
I have used the term to some when commenting that they knocked it out of the park. For you I say you're the bat catcher that had had his holy bat catcher's glove vigilantly, vigilantly, posture ready on DEFCON 1 readiness and caught the truth words of the Father coming on the spiritual waves of his son's promised helper the Holy Spirit never picked up in that glove the filthy fluff of the enemy's false doctrine and gave the divine word for the sheep to so as stay ready and prepped to make sure we have the righteous worship sitting on the throne of our heart (ABBA). Bless be you and may Father and Christ and the Holy Spirit keep you spiritually sound and others pray for you in support.
Very well written! I've been sharing this for years and I'm so glad to see your post. We are in Christ and we shall not worry about the mark. We are sealed in the Living God we have his mark we worship only him. Thank you so much and it's so awesome to see someone else explain what this is.
Once again I'm drawn to to the Hebraic understanding of Scripture. Rome is certainly a prototype of the many that come behind it. The world will continue to tug away at us no matter how loyal we are to Yeshua. As a matter of fact things will bode worse as time marches on. Let's stay in the trenches with each other as we look forward to being the Bride of Christ someday!

Thank you :) I think it is coming quickly. We have become so arrogant in our endeavors. Truth...
Concur.

Maybe that’s a topic will unpack together someday. 😊

Amen to that!

Thank you so much for sharing my friend. We are in this together, a light in the complacent darkness! :)
