Hypothetical: Left behind during the tribulation. Do you take mark to make life easier?

Because if you do you’re going to hell.

Why is this relevant to the current situation? If you’re weak now, you’d be weak then. If you give in now, you’d give in then. Test yourself.

Not here to carry on a debate of pre vs post tribulation, because I’ll end up spending the entire night writing pages and pages supporting my belief. I also know that to become a Christian during the tribulation, you’ll be held to a different standard than the church age, because you’ll have to endure until the end and not take the mark. Once you take the mark, you’re a child of satan. We’re blessed to be living in a time where we simply need to have faith in Christ’s blood atonement in order to be saved. Christ’s blood is sufficient and we could not possibly become satan’s child when we are already a child of God, which is one reason why we cannot enter the tribulation with unbelievers.

I’m simply asking, IF you were one of the ones living during the tribulation, would you take the mark of the beast to make life easier? What is the best way to know that answer? Well, giving in now would mean you definitely couldn’t endure that period of time.

I want to test myself. What about you? What we’re currently experiencing is a prelude for what’s to come. They’re conditioning the population for the future mark.

Nope.
To quote The Dread Pirate Roberts

Knowing what’s waiting for me on the other side, I’ll deal with it.

What you are asking is an impossible hypothetical because the only people left behind after tribulation is non-believers that will be deceived by God himself during the great tribulation to turn away from God. So if you’re left behind after the first tribulation, there’s no hope mark or no mark

I hope you’ll go back and read what I wrote.

What you’re saying is true, but some people will become Christians during that time. Those people will endure until the end. My question is, could you be that person?

Another wonderful proof that the Holy Spirit will continue to do His work of convicting people of their sins and leading them to faith in Christ is that many people who will be saved during the tribulation – the tribulation saints.

The Bible says these are the ones who will resist the Antichrist and will not take the sign of the Beast (Revelation 13:15). The tribulation saints will be martyred for their faith but will live and reign with Jesus in His millennial kingdom (Revelations 20:4).

Also the remnant of Israel, the 144000 Jews, will be saved during the tribulation (Revelation 7:4).

That’s during tribulation. I’m talking about the great tribulation which is after the tribulation.

Based on the word of God, and what Christ did on the cross.. It’s not me. I’ll never be worthy. My goodness is filthy rags to Him.

I’m not sure where I stand on tribulation but I will absolutely die proudly before taking the mark of the beast. This vaccine is authoritarian bs but it is a much different scenario. The consequences just aren’t there yet for me.

"Tribulation"..."make life easier"? Hmmmph. "chewing one's tongue and cursing God" won't be easy, "mark" or no mark.

IMO, there will come a day when each of us will be forced to make a public choice to deny God/His Son. Until that time, it is enough that you know that you (and the masses) are being "conditioned", to accept "the Lie"...and you prepare for "that time"...accordingly. Herein, is where it really pays off not to have your ultimate judgement, rest on your own ability...but upon Christ's Mercy. Sure win there.

IMO, we've already "taken the mark", as we are able to "buy and sell". And taking a relative arse kickin', accordingly. It'll get a lot worse, in short order, as the Authoritarians tighten the screws; and as it does, the 'contrast' will make vision a lot clearer.

Herding cats...will not usher in Utopia. But it will usher in a calamitous-induced, visionary scenario wherein Utopia may well be imagined.

God speed.

I feel like this current situation is mimicking the tribulation in order to usher in the false savior/anti-christ.

After all, satan loves to mimic God.

There’s not one worthy person in this world. Fortunately, we have a savior who bore all of our sins on the cross, so that if we have faith in his blood atonement, we shall have everlasting life with him.

As for the tribulation, if you’re saved you will escape God’s wrath. God has only poured out his wrath on the entire earth one other time and that was the flood. Noah and his family escaping the flood on the ark is a parallel to the rapture of the church preceding the tribulation.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

I guess I didn’t mean worthy in the sense of “worthy” but that the fact that I do and always have accepted Christ that it will lead to salvation .. although the devil tries pretty hard now and again and I have to work to shake it.
