Is it your contention that the USA will be the agency that will one day push the "Mark of the Beast" on us, too?


Yes, certainly. All major global governments will be in alignment.
As far as America being referred to as the Great Satan, that’s for others to decide.

Thank you.

Given the fact that the USA is the most powerful national government in the world, and given your answer to my question, could one argue that the USA is The Great Satan?

If so, would you conclude that the USA is, indeed, The Great Satan?

The Bible is clear that anyone taking the mark for any reason is eternally damned.

What if I repent and believe after getting the mark?

Why can't you express your opinion on my line of reasoning WRT to this question?

Why be evasive about expressing your opinion directly WRT to the United States of America being an active agent of Satan himself?

You make all of these implications and you want us to reach a conclusion for ourselves, but, you won't fully explain your personal conclusions.

There is no guarantee that America will still be a major player when this all transpires if I’m wrong, and the end isn’t soon.

You won’t have the ability to repent. A person can only repent when the Holy Spirit draws him. If God takes that away, it’s impossible to be saved

Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. Rev. 3:10

God will reward those who chose to follow Him the first time around. Why should you follow Christ now only to have to go through the most awful period of time in history and make a second decision to follow Him? A person who is already born again will be raptured and will therefore not be around to endure the tribulation period and face that decision i.e. the real Mark of the Beast. We are not there yet, but this entire process of vaccine mandates is a conditioning exercise. It is truly remarkable to see Bible Prophecy unfold right before our eyes.

Alright, I'm going to end our conversation specifically regarding this matter. It's clear that you intend to continue to be vague and evasive WRT to my specific questions. Thank you for your time. God Bless us all.

I don’t see why it’s pertinent to this discussion?
I’m aware that certain Muslim countries refer to America as the great Satan and Israel, the little Satan. But that comes from Islamic teachings, and I don’t purpose to know any specifics about this particular teaching.

It’s not weird at all. Jesus himself taught all believers to be ever vigilant for his return.

This isn't the first mandate of its type nor will it be the last


People forget this stuff has happened before.

Jesus’ words about the few inheriting eternal life is always conveniently overlooked. In fact, just yesterday, the wife was talking about the Rapture and how the world would react to many people suddenly disappearing. I told her,” it might not be as many as you think.”

That’s because Jesus is presented in modern Christianity as “hippie Jesus.”

If by Christ's resurrection you mean Christ's second coming or return, I agree.
