MOTB by itself does not always = LOF ??

[PeterAndroz]

I politely asked a question and you ignored me, Peter.

As for your question asked here, I do not know the answer ... I will tell you when it happens ... if we're both still here!

But my speculation is that it will be something like what happens to Christian communities in countries like China and Iran today.

""I will tell you when it happens""

This needs to happen first before that discussion takes place
2 Thess 2
......and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God

If you believe & trust 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13, the MOTB will never be a concern for you nor will you be exposed to it.

It was a very simple question ... I will take your refusal to answer as "IDK".

2 Thess 2
......and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God

If you believe & trust 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13, the MOTB will never be a concern for you nor will you be exposed to it.

I think there will be Christians on earth at the time the "man of sin" is revealed ... but that leads into the "rapture" and "great tribulation" issues ... related but different topics.

This is where it is important to understand the MOTB is not a literal physical mark (at least not only a physical mark) ... the "forehead" and the "right hand" indicate more than accepting a literal mark ... it is complete and willing submission to the antichrist spirit.

The hand represents a man’s works, the forehead is his way of thinking. Both of those in my opinion are related to biblical works and biblical thinking.
