Taking the mark

"Whosoever takes the mark of the beast, the same shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the Lamb of the holy angels.And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever.". So we read in Revelation.But define "TAKES' the mark.Now remember, as in any other time frame, not everybody will be young and up and about.Let's say, some patient in a hospital is in a coma,and because the staff can't treat him otherwise,the family tells the nurses, yes, tell the government people to come here and stamp him.Or an Alzheimers patient in a home, and their family decides to have him stamped.Or a retarded person,whose family makes that decision. Now, these would have the mark on them, signifying allegiance to Satan,BUT, it wasn't their willful choice, it was someone elses decision.Where does that fall?The Bible says "anyone who takes", but does that mean take willfully, or does having it given to them count?{I know they could be condemned for other reasons,there were people hundreds of years ago,before the Antichrist, who were unbelievers and died in their sins.So it's not the only factor.}But for that specific sin, does it mean anyone, or only those who WILLFULLY took it?{And it's not that hypothetical a question, because , like I say, there will be sick or mentally challenged people at that time like any other.}I would say, God knows the heart, and would judge by what they would do in their "fully aware" state.You say??

Dear Steven
I read your posting today and I am so thankful to God for you speaking out about this much needed subject that is not spoken about as often as it should be in the churches and among other Christians this subject seems to be feared and ignored because many seem to think that there will surely come a day that according to the word of God the Beast will be in power along with the anti christ and the people will be offered to take the mark of the beast. As you have spoken regarding those who willfully accept the beast mark oppose to those who were as you cleverly spoken such words of wisdom if a person is not mentally aware of that a mark of the beast was stamped upon them God would not hold them responsible because it was not their choice! Brilliant posting!! God bless you abundantly continue standing up and speaking what the Lord tells you without fear of man or compromise.. Love in Christ your Sister in the Lord.

Do not get the mark of the beast. Get saved. Ge right with God. Be on your way to heaven and take along with you all your relatives, friends and loved ones. Everyone us will rejoice with Jesus forever more. Amen

If you or anyone else runs away from Jesus and from His church, then the devil will get you and your life will become so miserable. The mark of the beast is a punishment for those who disobeyed Gods word and refuse to come back to the Lord. My prayer today is for anyone who has run away from God, to return and find blessing in Him alone.

We can try to lift up God's Word without judging each other. I would like to brag about all of God's blessings but I can't and some are just things anyway. I have Jesus and that is the best thing. I believe Steven does have Jesus as well as salvation. Some things only God can teach us and I know that so forgive me for being over zealous for the things God has taught me that took a lot of pain and suffering to achieve the results that I try to spare others from. Steven mentions his pains and sufferings and I have done my part in sharing what I believe to do, all in Christ and all out of love. It is truly up to God for us to learn from Him

Some people have to bounce into walls before they realize they can walk right through them and some people have to wallow in the Earth before they realize that they can fly and some people struggle with things before they realize that they are in Heaven but that is all in and on Jesus for Him to reveal

Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for Your Revelations! Glory to You Lord Jesus!

Sometimes I believe I know things that no one here in this life should know but it makes for some very strong faith and I Thank You and Praise You Lord Jesus for that as well! Not only reading in the scriptures but to know God like Moses did and have God share with you like He did for Hezekiah and many of the old testament prophets is overwhelming and what they went through! Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for Your Comfort and Your Great Patience! Whether they will listen is up to You Lord God Almighty to open their ears and open their eyes in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
