Still More On the Mark Of The Beast

Q

I read the below piece recently, and it seemed to link with your thoughts regarding Satan’s activities before the flood, in interfering with the genes of animals.

“The mark of the Beast in the book of Revelation could be the key. Anyone who takes this mark can no longer be saved according to scripture. This mark may include an implanted bio-chip and/or a genetic altering that in some way changes the human genetic code from being made in the image of God into being transformed to an image of Satan. Thus, they are forever disqualified for salvation through the Kinsman Redeemer that God chose to save the human race (Jesus).”

What are your thoughts?

This is the latest speculation concerning the mark of the beast. Like everything that preceded it, this is human speculation based on current advances in technology. Personally, I don’t think it will be necessary to have their DNA altered to prevent them from being saved. God will know who has taken the mark, and will deny them entry into the kingdom.

Let me take this opportunity to emphasize that the mark of the beast will not be implemented until after the Great Tribulation begins (after the Church is gone), and everyone left will receive advance warning by God not to take it (Rev. 14:9-11). Therefore, those who take it will do so knowingly and willingly. Tribulation believers will be expected to forfeit their lives rather than take the mark (Rev. 14:12).
