All theese regimes that are topling aren't all being replaced by one world government, though I could concede that there could be some sort of Islamioc world government if Islam is allowed to run rampant.
However, there's no evidence for a world government now, if anything, things are breaking down.
Many people used to think Mohammed was the beast. I can go along with that.
About the Mark, though. Cain's amark was totally differnt. God put the mark on Cain so that people would not try to put justice in their own hands and kill him. cain is doomed to walk the earth until the day of judgement.
Anyway, yuou can't quote Old testament prophets about the end of the wolrd. This was how the Jews saw things. I fyiour goign to talk about the end of the wolrd, you would be best advised to stick to revelations as that is specifically concerning christians.
The reason being that you can't mix up the two ets of prophecies. Old Testament prophetical writings were about the Jews, which at the time wre God's people. Jesus changed this and now Christians are God's people. Prophecies about the Jews have nothing to do with Christians. Christ brought the new Covenant between God and Man, we would be best advised to look to him than trying to read into something which is concerned with the Jewish people and excludes the gentiles.
I want the end to come and for the new Jerusalem to come down to earth, but the old onewill have passed away and Christians have been expecting the world to end for 2,000 years and we are still waiting. Why not jsut get on with our lives, keep shriving ourselves as much as we can and focus on Jesus so that when the end comes we won't be caught off guard, but we would have been sat around anticipating soemthing that might take thousands and thousands of years.
