What is the Number of his Name C?
013:018 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
666
Do you have a number butigned to you? Your Social Security Number? Driver License Number?
Does it not give you a number to "buy and sell" or "get a job" in the new world mammon system?
What is truly startling is how few Christians have actually thought through the decision as to where they will draw the line. Most just vaguely say that they will refuse to accept any chip implant. A few Christians have already publicly stated they will immediately accept any imbedded chip because Jesus “will forgive even that.” These usually cite Scriptures speaking of submission to governing authorities.
Others have recognized the spiritual nature of submission – and how the decision to abide or not to abide within the edicts of the beast is precedent to any final numbering scenario. These believe that their present refusal to function within existing political and commercial parameters is crucial to recognizing where the line will ultimately be drawn. These non-conformists are already resisting on a variety of levels, including renouncement of the Social Security number and a refusal to be licensed to drive.
Vast numbers of Christians confidently believe they will be raptured before the final requirement to receive a beast sanctioned identity is implemented. The simple truth is, the “mark of the beast” system has already ensnared significant numbers of “believers” who will simply continue to readjust their rationalizations as the beast slowly but surely tightens his grip on an already undiscerning Christian church.
