Forced To Take The Mark?
What if the World Health Organization forces those left behind to be indoctrinated with the mark of the beast against their will? What if they are fighting against the mark, being held down, etc. Will God hold this against them?
Q. I plan on leaving with the other Raptured Saints, but what about those ‘left behind?’
I know of ‘Digital Angel’, which is produced in Florida, and being used as I type, to deliver a small diode under the skin, for workplace ‘identifications.’ ‘They’ will force me to have my horse innoculated in the year 2009 with this. [Congress has approved this, and will administer it through the Department of Agriculture.]

A. Revelation 13:15 & 16 seem to go together. In other words, taking the mark is done as an act of worship. This is consistent with the meaning of the Greek word translated “receive” in verse 16 which literally means to willingly accept something that’s to be religiously observed.
Failure to worship the anti-Christ’s image as called for in verse 15 brings death. The way the authorities will tell whether a person is actually worshiping or just faking it is whether they’ll give themselves the mark. Thus, refusing the mark will mean choosing death. They won’t be trying to force people to take the mark against their will, but rather will require people to take it as a sign of loyalty to root out the believers.
