You can still corrupt the human genome to prevent Salvation. Say by taking a vaccine or new DNA ID that guarantees your health for 200 - 500 years?
There is a theory regarding the Mark of the Beast that it damns people to Hell not just because you are defiantly choosing an anti-messiah over The Messiah, but also because it twists and changes your DNA from God’s creation to Satan’s creation. You in essence disqualify yourself by virtue of taking a DNA that the Blood of the Lamb cannot cover anymore (He didn’t die for fallen angels and demons either). Satan only has 7 years to bring as many people to hell with him as possible. This might be the quickest way to ensure that it’s done. After all, why risk it with evil men & woman only for them to repent before they die? Why not come up with something that seals the deal now without recourse?
Revelation 14:9-11:
9 And a third angel followed them, calling out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he too will drink the wine of God’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”
Lastly, this always keeps me scratching my head: The A/C and his FP are thrown in the Lake of Fire first, before anybody else. They will be there for 1,000 years by themselves before hell opens up its gates for the billions of lost over the ages. Why? They don’t even get a chance at the White Throne Judgement in Revelation 20. Could it be that those two are Nephilim or hybrids also and that is why? Things to ponder about.
“the life is in the blood.”
Interesting to contemplate.
You kind of wonder about people who are Christians and choose to accept the mark.
What about if it were forced on them?
I think part of it is the allegiance thing because it talks about accepting the mark.
A very perceptive comment, which most Christians never realize. From the Acknowledgments of my book Ariel's Longing:
"Essentially, the Holy Spirit inspired this book when first He caused me ceaselessly to wonder, “Why didn’t Jesus also atone for the angels’ sins?” I’ve spent the past fifteen years puzzling over that simple and obvious question, and the result now lies before you."
