Heidi, you highlighted, "These tyrannical mandates, while not the mark of the beast, suggest the grooming of people for such an event—one that the Holy Spirit and the word of God warn to discern and resist." These mandates and today's compliance aren't QUOTE ...one that the Holy Spirit and the Word of God warn to discern and resist. UNQUOTE The warning from God is limited to Revelation 14:9-11, what the third angel warns at that time. There are at that future time three conditions declared, all joined by "and" within both verses 9 and 11. The first two conditions are about worship and the third condition is about receiving the mark. Quoting (KJV) in verse 9, "...If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark..." , and then quoting in verse 11, "...who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name..." Three conditions are listed. Those are the only "warnings" the Rapture Ready article refers to. The article is about today. Don't worry about the symbolism or the spin of the article regarding the mark. Neither you nor any other believer today will be called upon to heed that clear warning when the third angel declares it. The evil rulers are indeed grooming the population of the world, and we believers are NOT in jeopardy. Let not your heart be troubled... Well said Dan! Thanks for being our ships rudder and guide through these wilderness days! TR
