Can A Jewish Person Take The Mark?

Q

If a Jewish person is willing to take the mark of the beast during the end times will the Anti-Christ allow him/her to remain in Israel without being hunted like the others?

A

Since the Mark of the Beast is a declaration of loyalty to the anti-Christ, anyone who takes it will not be molested by the anti-Christ. But no believer, whether Jew or Gentile would do such a thing, having been warned of the consequences (Rev. 14:9-11), so we’re only talking about unbelievers here.

Remember, God does not consider people who are only Jews because of their biological heritage to be His. In Romans 2:28-29 Paul said,

A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
