. It will be a defined choice and folks will know exactly what they are doing.
I get a sense of contradiction here. How will people know exactly what they are doing if they are deceived? Deceived people don't know they are deceived. They think they know the truth. How do you know deception is not reigning supreme right now, not just in the world, but in you? How do you know that if you cannot identify Antichrist you won't be deceived by him, especially if it didn't matter in your opinion whether you study who he is and what his mark is, because you're outa here before it happens?Deception will rule supreme.
But I am not sure that anyone who is redeemed can take the mark. First off, it is not going to be some sort of subtle thing going on. It will be worship the beast and take the mark or die. It will be a defined choice and folks will know exactly what they are doing.
John 1:47-51Actually, he told Nathaniel, not what he would see, but where he had been earlier (if I'm remembering correctly).
Sometimes I can only sit in awe when I read one of your post that has such a profound truth that there is no response that can challenge it. What an awesome point!I get a sense of contradiction here. How will people know exactly what they are doing if they are deceived? Deceived people don't know they are deceived. They think they know the truth.

People won't know what they are doing,that's the whole point of the deception,they will take the mark without even realizing it,as they will think satan is Christ.The beast is satan and they will worship him on their own freewill .You can't be forced to take the mark.
When the rapture occurs it will be chaos. Not on the extent something as I believe there are far fewer than many Christians believe.
But even then there will be car accidents involving empty cars. Probably some plane crashes and assorted of things.
Homes will be left empty.
There will be those who are well aware of the Bible's teaching to become tribulation saints.
With that in mind what can we do to leave things for them to find that act as witnesses?
If God gives me a choice, I'm not leaving. The tribulation is a time when people will need God's mercy on display like no other time on Earth. (Besides, I don't believe there is any such thing as a pretribulation rapture anyway. The Bible really doesn't support it if you read the "supporting" scriptures carefully.)
I have a mini library. My computer has material on. My website has a lot of material.
Just pointing out some thoughts for consideration.
