Hi there,
So this is just a short message about the power of resisting the Devil: though he is tempted with the mark (of the anti-Christ), yet if we resist him (to the end) he will not take it. This is why it is important that those who are chosen, take a stand against the mark (of the anti-Christ). If we merely tolerated the mark, the Devil would enter into temptation that he could not resist. And this is the power of it, if the Devil can not succumb to temptation, ultimately neither can the anti-Christ - though for many it will be almost too late (being in the grave, or too weak of flesh, with the mark). I want you to be encouraged in this, our resistance to the Devil will result in a strength the world can see and trust. It will convert the world, from it's old way, to one that the Lord can take pleasure in receiving. It may be that the world will suffer from sin, along the way, but because of our example in Christ, it will not easily and lightly stay that way.
A world that starts to forgive, is a world that can be greatly saved (selah)
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever should believe in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life - John 3:16
I hope this encourages you, if not to lay down your life before the end, then to pray for those that do (shalom).
