Some teach people who take the Mark of the Beast can be forgiven.
That is not the case.
It will be very hard to resist the Mark for many reasons:
Those who do not will be ostracized from society; not able to shop;
not able to buy food; not able to work;
not able to participate in any thing that has to do with society
as we know it.
There might be some who will be able to barter,
some may be hiding and they may not be found.
Most will be given a choice:
Worship the Beast or be Martyred. Just like it says in the bible:
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship
the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:15-17
I have heard it argued that they think there is forgiveness because it says:
And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. Revelation 16:11
That is not saying those people could repent,
that is saying they did not repent.
This bible explains here what will happen to those who take the Mark:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Revelation 14:11
I believe there will be many Christians who will be persuaded to take it
by other believers, pastors, teachers, etc.
It will be hard not to take it.
Fear God and Do Not take the Mark of the Beast!
It will be very tempting
because we will still be able to have some of our worldly goods.
I believe also that it will include many financial and health benefits.
Without God’s strength, it will be impossible to refuse it.
Seek the Lord now so you are solid in your teaching from the Holy Spirit
and can stand firm when it is time the decision needs to be made.
