Amen.
God made it simple.
The devil (jerk) makes it complicated.
The end goal of everything that is unfolding, is total allegiance to satan.
Refusal will mean great suffering and eventually, death; unless Christ is your Savior. (You could still die but it could be for the faith instead) (Rev 20:4/13:7)
Sadly, some christians will give in and take the mark; damning themselves forever. (Mark 4:19)
This ain't a game folks. This is your eternal soul at stake.
Revelation 13:4, "And
they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"
(Rev 20:2)
Revelation 13:15-17, "
(15) And
he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that
as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
(16) And
he causeth all, both
small and great,
rich and poor,
free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
(17) And that
no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name."
God will either protect us or not.
Philippians 1:21, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
