The I know this is an old post, however I just read over this and it raised the question - Does the anti-christ identify himself to the public as an atheist? All atheist publications all speak blasphemy against God. All material regarding atheism blames everything that is wrong in this world on God. Revelations 13:1-6 talk about the beast rising up and speaking blasphemy against God. I don't know of any atheist who speaks positively regarding God. Satanists do this as well, however those that I know of who blaspheme God identify themselves as atheists. Also, reading verse 16 and 17 - no one was forced to take the mark. Everyone who took it did so willingly. We must not forget that no one can force anyone to consent to anything, but you can cooerce them. 17 also struck my eye - "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". So you will either need the mark, the name, and/or the number. We have plenty of ways these days to implement any of these. We could do it via card, app on phone, tatoo, genetic markers, the list goes on. How ya gonna do it? PS/2 it! --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 2022/02/11 (Linux/64) * Origin: SPOT BBS / k9zw (700:100/69) .
