Fear as a tool makes people more submissive and malleable to the powers that be...whether the powers that be are government, big Pharma, big tech, or organized religion.
Growing up, I was taught the secret rapture. All of a sudden, with no warning, Christians will just disappear. Now, it wasn't hammered into us back then like it is now, but it was the only eschatology I had ever even heard of..... yet, I never did go for it. I simply did not see in scripture what they said. To make a long story short, I ultimately discovered that I was not alone, but that I had discovered classic Christian doctrine, that had basically been in place since the time of the apostles. No one really believed in the secret rapture until the advent of Dispensationalism in the 1830's.... and even then, most American Christians didn't believe it until after the mid 20th century. Dispensationalism is Scripture-twisting taken to the highest level.
I always found it funny that people who believed that Christians were going to suddenly disappear without warning, were absolutely obsessed with "the signs of the times"....
Absolutely spot-on

The rapture would be sweet, but so would be dying waist deep in hot brass.
Send a bunch of mofos to Hell before you go up.
Exactly. There is NO Scripture that says defending your family against evil, Satanists is a sin. Exactly the opposite: there are dozens of times in the Bible when “Real Men” laid down their lives and also killed the evil aggressors that tried to harm them

Here's the best documentary on this subject IMHO. I wasn't going to post it here, but since there's still so much interest I hope it will be a blessing to someone. Even if you don't agree with every point, it's worth the time to watch. In case you are wondering, it's produced by Baptists. A lot of Protestants would probably agree, but it does cover many points in the short time that would take me all day at the keyboard to answer.
Maybe you guys missed it, so I’ll try to type slower so you’ll understand !!! Please be civil. Don’t turn this into a whizzing contest. If you’re not a believer that’s fine. But it’s piss poor taste to make azzhole remarks about those of us who are. Phuq off if this applies to you!!! 7mm
OK.
Revelations says the Mark of the Beast will be implemented by the anti-Christ. And the anti-Christ is going to give the perception of world peace and unity.
So my question to you is, who is the anti-Christ, and why do you feel the world is at peace and unified right now?
Ordo ab Chao Order from Chaos
Every single community in the US is infected with the Satanic Lodges, with the richest men and/or local politicians as top members in the highest degrees
no matter their high rank they still answer to the coming horned king and have been setting the stage for his arrival, for hundreds of years they have been preparing and now they are implementing the final scenes expeditiously before the grand entrance of YOUR new HORNED KING
You are way behind the curve. While you can, and before the internet police start banning everything, research on YOUTUBE everything you can about the FreeMasons

Dont know about that, but AFAIC the scripture that says if you're a believer the vipers bite will not harm.you, should be on the mind of believers who took it.
Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the left.
A Nation which leaves God behind is soon left behind.
"The Lord never asked anyone to be a tax collector, lowyer, or Redskins fan".
Doesn't the anti christ implement the mark of the beast? In my reading I take it that is when the 666 will happen
Yes, and during the tribulation. We're not there yet.
Honest "no offense intended" type query: Do you think that somebody who takes the mark before the tribulation is going to Heaven? I don't.
Many possibilities for the Mark have been floated. I tend to read the Bible pretty literally. At the same time, I don't think you can divide it into a literal interpretation or a figurative one. The Bible has both and some quotations have multiple interpretations-not one that cancels or negates another, but just multiple facets and meaning to THE interpretation.
Me may have unknowingly taken the mark, but it wouldn't be the unforgivable sin.
Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the left.
A Nation which leaves God behind is soon left behind.
"The Lord never asked anyone to be a tax collector, lowyer, or Redskins fan".
I do believe it is laying a strong foundation for what will be the mark of the beast. The technology, the economic basis and the psychological conditioning which will allow a global mandate which will morph into such a "mark".
The mark will be IN the forehead or...
In the forehead may mean in ones mind, like as with woke atheist lieberals.

Allowing yourself to be goaded or scared into taking an unknown brew of who-knows-what qualifies on the simple part but not the eye on part. YMMV.
As He said, the vipers bite will not kill you.
Now, you could possibly die from.it, but it wouldn't affect your salvation or everlasting life. He will not lose His sheep.

I just revisited this subject again this week. I'm headed for bed after devotions, but want you all to know that you are free to PM anytime with questions and prayer requests.
Be careful for YouTube prophecy channels. They don't come out and tell you, but most I've been running into like a pothole are Mormans, Jehovah's false Witnesses, and 7th Day Adventists...a few Prederists too. For some strange reason they don't usually come out and tell you. If anyone here IDs with one of those, don't take it personally. I'm not your enemy. I've spent plenty of time with all of those folks. We just disagree on religion and happy to discuss that further. Just ask.
In case anyone is wondering, I hold to a Biblical belief that rejects the founders prophecies of those other religions. The Bible is my sole source of prophetic revelation. Although many Baptists and evangelicals disagree on some teachings, that is my basic doctrinal background and beliefs since studying the Word in the 1980s. I'm happy to answer specific sincere questions when time permits.
Here are some references on this subject for your own study of this subject.
Matthew chapter 24 Study next to Revelation chapter 6,
I Thessalonians 4 2 Thessalonians 2
Have a blessed Sunday

I have always been reading Ezekiel and Daniel as warmups for the book of Revelations...
Those have been the best warmups for new testament prophecies. I think that we may see some of those fulfilled, but the Lord only knows for sure. Check out the video posted, Before the Tribulation and let me know what you think.
