The Mark of the Beast- The deceiver's tactic.

"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." Rev. 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark. You see, the beast [the anti-Christ] will force EVERYONE to take the mark. The false prophet enforces the mark for possibly more than one reason. The first reason I can think of is it will 'reduce crime rates'. Now you're probably wondering "if the Antichrist is Satan incarnate, why would he want to reduce crime?" The answer to that is simply this: If you take his mark, you have already damned your self to Hell. (Luckily we're not in the tribulation yet, this wont happen until then, but the Lord is leading me to inform every one about it.)
  9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

 ¹⁰The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

 ¹¹And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev. 14; vs 9-11

You see? Satan wants to be worshiped, loved and adored by a people, and his people will be those with his mark. Now, back to the reducing crime. Through reducing crime, people will think he is a deity. 

   Before I go any further I would like to express my opinion on what the Mark of the beast will be. It will be a mark, but a mark of "loyalty" to the Antichrist. It will be a tracking device implanted in your right hand or forehead, it will have all your information on it. You will have to use it to buy and sell. 

   I just felt obliged to give a brief summary of what it really is. A called this post a deceiver's tactic because that is precisely what it is. He wants nothing more than to deceive you. I cant help but wonder, have you been deceived? You know, during that time [the tribulation] they will not have the opportunity to choose what to believe. You will have to choose the mark, or you will choose death. Those are the two options the Antichrist will give you. But now we can choose! Choose Jesus Christ! Accept Him into your heart! He doesn't want you to be deceived by Satan! He loves you, and He died for your sins! I would like to leave you with this verse: John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have ever lasting life. God bless you all.
