I agree. The “Mark of the Beast” doesn’t necessarily mean a chip. It is compliance/surrender.
I’ve had people jump on me for saying they could freeze our bank accounts.
You’ll have folks criticize you right up until it happens, and many of them will agree with the reasons given.
I tell folks what has been predicted. I tell them that I cannot say it will happen for sure. I admonish them to watch for themselves, and if it happens consider it a fulfillment of prophecy, and time to wake up and be ready to be counted on the right side.
