The pressure to receive the mark of the Beast will be enormous. Satan does not play, neither does he have a shred of compassion. He hates all humans, but especially those who follow Christ Jesus. When the test comes to serve Satan or get your head chopped off, the Bible says the Many will worship the Beast and the Few will not.
There is a famous so-called Bible teacher that teaches you can still repent after receiving the mark of the Beast. He is saying you can compromise and still be saved if you repent. The Bible says something totally different:
Revelation 14:9-11
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The
same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of the Lamb:
And
the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
When you receive the mark, you will become so deceived that repentance will not be in your heart b/c strong demonic deception will accompany the mark. Do not, whatever you do, take the mark. God forbid. Eternal mistake; you cannot repent once you receive the mark.
I implore you to stay true to Jesus Christ our Lord. Since we all have to die, we'd better choose to die rightly. If you take the mark of the beast, you will die wrongly and go to Hell forever and ever and ever and ever and ever... but you will still die.
Help me to die rightly Jesus. You are my help. I give thanks to you. I know some, perhaps many say we should encourage and not give such harsh or unbelievable words. Being justified by faith has a corresponding biblical walk attached to it, and frankly some dark warnings if we don't. I terrifically do not want bad things to happen to people. God is mighty, all mighty, a consuming fire, a dreadful God. It is a terrifying thing to fall into His hands. His understanding is off the charts, unknowable unless He reveals. He has revealed a lot to us. He is lovely, faithful, kind, merciful but woe to us who take His grace and excuse our sin. We need to fear God and depart from iniquity for our own good.
Principally we need to love God, to continue loving God.
