I don't think we know how the Anti-Christ's mark/name/number ( Rev 13:17,18) will be placed on those on Earth who want to continue to survive under his government. It could be a chip as you suggest or some other form (tattoo?). The Bible does tell us that to take his Mark or not, will be a final (& fatal) decision they have to make, just as a response to the Gospel message today: people need to repent & turn to Christ now before they die as there is no second chance after death to turn to Christ.
So I see that those living during Anti-Christ's rule have to make a similar decision. I dare say, that most would willingly take his Mark if they are to survive & function normally on Earth under his rule. Yet, when God's Wrath is finally poured out upon the whole Earth, then all will suffer under God's Hand, when even the Anti-Christ himself will be powerless & will be subject to its terrors.
I suppose those that accept the Mark can remove it or cover it up, but what would that serve, as removing the Mark will then bring them under the wrath of Anti-Christ & they stand to be killed or be rendered hungry & homeless.
Revelation 16:15-16 cite Jesus Christ's return. He gathers them to the place called Armageddon. This says that Jesus Christ is involved in the Battle of Armageddon.
1-21 above we learn JEHOVAH /GOD allow the 'vials of the wrath of GOD' being poured out where applicable.
Note: re-read verse 5,6,7, above and consider mankind who is made from GOD'S dust of the ground plus GOD blessed us by breathing into us life, then GOD has to exercise HIS WILL as in verse 21 upon HIS creation. I no longer waste time asking why GOD this and that, instead I rejoice my name is written in THE BOOK by-way of John 3:16-21 and similar verses.
Believe on the name of the Son of God and thou shalt be saved. If Christ is the Son of God, then that means that 1) he was before he came, he existed from eternity. 2) That what he came to do is what he accomplished. There are no sinners in hell that Christ died for, every one that he came to save are safe and secure in Him forever. The blood he shed on the cross was all the payment needed to pay for their sins.
I keep thinking about the Angels of Revelations and the Vials that they pour out.
All the Plagues, Wars, Earthquakes, Floods, Famines, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, etcetera were predicted by the author, was it John? on the island ?? It is certainly happening Now!! I am fournate that the Lord God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are watching over Me and My Family in these Times.
Hello, there's a page at the bottom that says 'Become a Christian' that is what the Bible says how to become one. If you have followed the Bible to become a Christian then you're a Christian: Link - God bless you!
That's a nice question. That's an important question. And, not to take away from previous replies because they are great responses, but to try to be helpful, since you asked a simple yet very important question I hope to give a direct answer. We are saved not by works, not by anything we do. But, by Faith that Jesus is God's son. And, Faith that God is our creator. So, if you know, without seeing, and you trust that Jesus is your brother, King and Saviour., then you're saved. But we do see examples all the time. Just acknowledge them and say Thank you.
The only works we really need to do, is working on ourselves to be as Jesus teaches. When we work on ourselves we then reflect better who God wants us to become. We'll slip and backslide and when we do, we'll feel ashamed and guilt and like we let Jesus down and we'll repent. We won't abuse Grace and we won't say Grace is a free pass to be a jerk.
Jesus says to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and I struggle with that. I screw up 40-50 times a day in my head, with judging, and selfish thoughts. I'm saved because Jesus loves me and you and even those we don't like I have Trust in that, and when I read Revelations it's not scary to me. I don't dread it. For me, it's a slow growth. But, I'm not the same as I used to be. Because God has pulled me from my "pits." God and Jesus did something we couldn't do. Or, wouldn't do. Keep reading, keep asking questions, and think about the answers, don't be swayed by a person's personal agenda. Jesus came from Heaven to find you (us). He wants us to be with him. Which is sometimes hard to believe because we know how rotten we are. We can quote the bible with spiritual vanity, but it's not by our hands but by Faith and Trust in what Jesus did for us in living and dying and rising for us. And, Faith in God's plan for the World. The World, of past people, current people and for people not even born. It's overwhelming and crazy sounding. But, that's Faith that it's true.
I would read through 1 John Chapter 5. John speaks about the doctrine of salvation. He brings together in summary form all that he has talked about in order to give assurance to those who believe, but also to give caution to those who think they are saved but they're really not. But this is a great chapter to read. I would encourage you to read the entire chapter. But look Verse 13. "These things have I written unto you that believe upon the name of the Son of God; so that you might know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the Son of God." So John is telling them, I'm giving you proof so that you can know assuredly that you belong to Christ.
In 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul says "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" So we are to examine ourselves, whether we be in the faith;
That's not a religious term about the faith. The word faith in the New Testament is a word speaks of literally being under the persuasion of God's Spirit. That's what the word faith means. It means persuasion. So are you under the influence of God's Spirit? Are you in the faith?
Secondly, we are to prove our own selves. We do our own testing, not of somebody else, but we test ourselves. And then Paul presents the criteria. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates? Reprobate means rejected.
The criteria is that Christ be in you. It doesn't say anything about the right and wrong doctrine, or what church you go to or don't go to. Is Christ in you? Have you experienced a Spiritual birth and now Christ lives in you?
Paul said in Colossians that Christ in you is the hope of glory. You have no other hope other than Christ in you. If Christ is not in you, you have no hope. If Christ is in you, you will have a hunger and desire for Him because His Spirit will give you that hunger to continue on.
We are living in the last days right now and with the coronavirus God is speaking and we need to hear what he is saying this might have been an accident but God is truly telling us that we need to repent and be baptized in the Holy Ghost and live your life according to the bible I will pray that if your not saved you get saved before it everlasting to late.
I Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve. (14) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (15) Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Jesus said that to whom the WORD CAME ( HIS SEED ) it made them Gods. Plural And he said the field is the world where that good seed will be sown meaning humanity thus we see an Israel of GOD COMING SOON a heavenly kingdom in our hearts.That was the great PROMISE when God swore by himself he himself is gonna be multiplied as the stars of heaven via that good seed th WORD.Thats Y JESUS IS SAYING TO WHOM THE WORD CAME IT MADE THEM GODS.Thats y he refers to the H.G AS THE PROMISE THE H.G. IS THE MULTIPLICATION OF CHRIST THAT CHILD OF PROMISE that is gonna be be born to us via his seed etc.Jesus is not impotent he has a seed to sow in humanity which is the Word.She brought forth a Manchild. GBU
Yes there is only 1 god the father ,but this 1 god had an absolute son whom he instructs all the angels to worship,this 1 god tells the world this is my beloveth son in whom i am well plz, unto his son he said thy throne o god is forever now we see 2 gods father n son ( abram n issac ) then the son tells us a parable of him going forth to sow his seed the word th seed of a kingdom in humanity. (jacob) we see a 3 rd god that will be born in humanity via that heavenly seed sown n our hearts, our new birth brings a child to us which is the h.g. a kingdom child that child of promise ( that branch that comes outta of christ ) which is spirit. now we see an israel of god born in humanity via seed
well said Bobby few realize we must come to the Lord his way
Ezekiel Chapter 14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, ... , which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him...
The reason why people won't repent, so many are deceived that they think they can be saved after GOD calls the church out. But what people do not realize is anyone who has heard the truth and rejected it The Bible tells us in 2nd these: chapter 2 that GOD will send them strong delusion to believe a lie.
To Lpsims Hope I get your name wright....I myself asu feels the same but one thing I hold to Jesus isLORD and if we Believe On in HimHe willAlways be with Us God Bless Sister....HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
The day and hour mention above is at our front door of the world and the world, both saved and not-saved are so busy with cares of the world such as jobs, 401-k, education, retirement, me,me,me, my,my,my, never-the less verse 15 above is written in stone. Thank GOD for HIS Blessed Assurance Jesus has prepared a place for those to obey John 3:16.
I/we do not have to understand /fear the judgments above (most likely many will be asleep during this /that day). I am clay /dirt from the earth and privileged to be given both life
Right?
So I see that those living during Anti-Christ's rule have to make a similar decision. I dare say, that most would willingly take his Mark if they are to survive & function normally on Earth under his rule. Yet, when God's Wrath is finally poured out upon the whole Earth, then all will suffer under God's Hand, when even the Anti-Christ himself will be powerless & will be subject to its terrors.
I suppose those that accept the Mark can remove it or cover it up, but what would that serve, as removing the Mark will then bring them under the wrath of Anti-Christ & they stand to be killed or be rendered hungry & homeless.
Can those that take the 666 computer chip in their right hand or forehead repent and be saved in Christ?
How can they take it back out?
Note: re-read verse 5,6,7, above and consider mankind who is made from GOD'S dust of the ground plus GOD blessed us by breathing into us life, then GOD has to exercise HIS WILL as in verse 21 upon HIS creation.

I highly recommend watching Oral Roberts teach the Book of Revelation on Youtube.
I know people snicker and laugh about Oral, but his teaching abilities are anointed.
God blesses us every time we read the Book of Revelation. You'll see that scripture when you begin reading it.
