We have all heard about the mark, or at least we should have. It is something that should be avoided like the plague, unless you have a natural desire to be a follower of Satan. The recent breakthroughs in medical implant chip and RFID technologies have increased interest in the mark of the beast spoken of in Revelation chapter 13. It is possible that the technology we are seeing today represents the beginning stages of what may eventually be used as the mark of the beast. It is important to realize that a medical implant chip is not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast will be something given only to those who worship the Antichrist. Having a medical or financial microchip inserted into your right hand or forehead is not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast will be an end-times identification required by the Antichrist in order to buy or sell, and it will be given only to those who worship the Antichrist. Remembering the fact that every soul counts, if we observe someone slipping into darkness, we should make every effort to turn them around.

Although the founding forefathers of the United States of America were insistent that the country should be formed as a nation under God, others are determined to change that fact. In the end times, after Christ has defeated all the armies gathered in the valley of Armageddon, He will reign for one thousand years in a perfect rule with His saints and fully restore Israel to her land. At the end of a thousand years, a final judgment of the nations and all remaining mankind will occur, which is then followed with either an eternal state spent with God for those who follow Him or an eternal separation from Him for those who do not. The above are not speculations or possibilities – they describe exactly and precisely what will take place in the future. Just as all prophecies came true and were fulfilled in Christ’s first coming, there is no reason to believe anything will be different with those that speak of His return to the earth. With all the changes, nobody seems to be taking us seriously anymore.

If we live with the absence of light in our day to day lives, there is no way that we should expect others to witness and follow us to the Lord. 1 John tells us “if we claim that we experience a shared life with him and continue to stumble around in the dark, we’re obviously lying through our teeth, we’re not living what we claim. But if we walk in the light, God himself being the light, we also experience a shared life with one another, as the sacrificed blood of Jesus, God’s Son, purges all our sin. If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins, make a clean breast of them, he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God, make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God” Sadly, we can look at many Christians and the light is nowhere to be found, a fact that is becoming much more prevalent as the days go by.

If you have ever wondered if they will accept it once you have given them the word of God, as a Christian you should not be concerned. It is our job to pass on the word to others, however, it is the Holy Spirit who seals the deal. The bible tells us that Jesus was undeterred and went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.” You may have a difficult time understanding why others may hesitate to accept anything that we know to be true and correct, but it is not your job to do that.

A Christian will usually ask themselves the question, what would Jesus do, simply because they have the burning desire to live a life that is as pure as is humanly possible. “What would Jesus do?” is a popular religious expression on bracelets, necklaces, and T-shirts with the initials WWJD. The idea behind WWJD is that to know how to do the right thing, we simply ask ourselves, “What would Jesus do?” At first glance, this appears to be a good idea. However, is this something Christians should live by? I don’t think anyone thinks that they can be as pure as the Savior Jesus Christ is, however, because He got baptized, I had to be baptized too. (twice, just to be sure)
