I saw this article too JN. Jesus said that the times would be confusing. But Gods word carefully explains these things, and how it would be used.....a required mark for buying and selling and the number is the number of man.
I mean, how many non believers have you spoke to who have never heard of 666? The devil will certainly have to confuse this in order to make it work.
Grace and Peace!
Amen brother ....we also have to understand it wont be just a mark... but the worship of the beast and his image as well. The false prophet is the one who makes this work... by calling fire down from heaven in the sight of men, to deceive them.
Miracles are the bomb here for unbelievers...
This as well..
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are
not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Rev 14:9 And 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,
Rev 14:10 The 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:
Rev 14:11 And 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. God bless
