Pray all your want. It sure isn’t a coincidence. Maybe it’s a self fulfilled prophesy done as a bad joke. Did you see the Seven Thunders post? What if…
I’m going to have to brush up on my Revelations now! It’s been a while. Thanks for that. 🤣
My concern if this is true is that I always understood it to be a conscious choice to get the mark. And that some people would reject it and die for that rejection. But SS numbers started being issued at birth in 1987. I know when my children were born no one at the hospital explained to me that it was a choice to fill out the paperwork for them. Even so, they couldn’t work without getting one eventually as they are required for employment. This would seem to remove the element of choice. Or does it? You can just choose not to work. If you can’t work you risk dying of hunger or having no safe place to sleep. There are those who indeed have made that choice and live in homelessness. It’s unsettling to think most of us were duped into such a choice if this is indeed the true mark.
I have issues with the whole concept of the mark in the first place. It makes no logical sense even if you “choose to take it” that the punishment would be eternal damnation for a “loving” God.
I was 14, in Junior High School when the SS cards were given out. Since SS is really a contract, I was unlawfully subjected to constructive fraud since I was not of the age to give contractual consent. Obviously a newborn isn’t either. As for working without one? I suggest learning at trade by working for “free” with an electrician, mechanic, plumber etc as your learning experience and don’t let them know that what you plan on doing is going out on your own after you learn it. Work word of mouth without any license or insurance. Make sure that the customer knows this. Most people are more concerned about the cost and if you come recommended. My sons all ended up getting the number at the age of 18 because they saw no way around it in the work environment and none of them were interested in my trade as a plumber. Plumbers can charge $100 or more per hour so I have no problem whenever I want to say I’m available for $50 an hour. I hardly do any currently because I don’t need to. But I do help folks out on occasion that may call me. I have NEVER had a license or been bonded or had insurance. I just made sure I didn’t commit shortcuts that would flood your house.
In 1990 I began repenting of everything that required me to have the Marxist Beast’s SSN. God forbid that I idolatrously bear the digital name (SS#), and lukewarmly serve the will of two masters. I burned everything that had my SS# printed on it and I discarded everything that required a SS# (i.e. drivers license, credit cards, bank accounts, legal contracts, passport etc.). I am my Lord Christ Jesus’ slave and my work is to do the will of my Father Elohim in heaven. Since I am the Lordʼs slave, my labor is not for hire. The Lord faithfully provides for all my needs. Being a harmless, non-violent member of the Good Shepherdʼs sheep-fold, I continually trust in His omnipotent strength to protect me, as He leads me through the midst of Big Brother/Uncle Sam’s ravenous, ‘sheep-loving’ wolves. His omnipotent security and miraculous health care provision for me has been amazing—perfectly faultless!
How did the Lord Elohim nurture the millions of Israelites and their flocks whom He lead out of Egypt’s security system and into the dry, barren, hostile desert for forty years? Can the Good Shepherd, in this Orwellian Digital Age, be trusted to daily care for the beloved sheep that are eternally secured within His theocratic sheepfold? Yes, He is faithful far beyond our carnal-minded imagination! Since the Lord has sealed my forehead with His name, as His dependent slave, my labor of love is not for hire. The Lord richly provides for all of my needs without me ever pathetically holding out an offering plate begging for people’s sympathetic alms. I frequently receive gifts that include housing, vehicles, fuel credit card, meals, and anonymous envelopes of cash. The Lord has given me far more than I need for myself, so I am able to generously support others.
Not having a (SS#) or a bank account I legally drive an RV from Hawaii, Alaska to Maine. I enjoy hunting fish via skin diving with spear gun. I donate my labor and skills to help whoever the Lord connects me with (i.e. farmers, ranchers, landscapers, home builders, etc.). Caring for my 96 y/o widowed mother is now becoming a full time responsibility in meeting her daily needs.
I agree with you: I have always understood it to be a conscious choice to "receiving" the mark of the beast. And that the Blood-Bought Saints would reject it and die for that rejection. And I stand by that belief.
And YOUR beliefs are yours. Whatever it is going to be or is, will be RESISTED by some up to bloodshed. We won't just go namby pamby on to the box cars.
Wonder who the narrator is. I watched 10 minutes. I couldn’t stomach it. Too much conjecture right off and HIS interpretation of the Word. He obviously believes in the so called “rapture” which is nothing but total nonsense. I am not going to enter into a lengthy debate over your interpretation vs mine. I refuse. If you believe that you should love your Creator with all your heart, mind, body and soul and love your neighbor as yourself, that’s all I need. The rest is fluff and does nothing but divide and cause strife.
I took revised my first post called A story I can't believe happened. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/a-story-i-cant-believe-happened I call it part II now and simply was planning on ending it there. But now there is a Part III. WHY? Because of stupidity in the church. Total stupidity. Beyond stupidity. A new word that describes beyond stupidity that hasn't been coined yet. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/a-story-i-cant-believe-happened-355 You tell me Carl. Has the church been infiltrated by psychopaths that have no sense of decency? And this all started because I wasn't following some sort of unwritten, unknowable, protocol that some guy named Scott TRIED to bring to my attention. Anyhow, tell me what you think of this insanity maybe in my PM.
Quite a cowinkadink. Scary and probably true. Evil really does exit. Too bad “Relatavism” was the prior “Wokeism”. Ill prepared us for recognizing and discerning Evil. Even the modern Bible translations don’t use the word Evil.
I recently researched Revelations and discovered that Revelations in the Bible is not about our future and the beast is a system from the past. My article should be dropping soon.
Expect the H word to be tossed in your direction. You are absolutely correct. Actually the whole bible deals with the past. You have to twist it and distort it to make it for the time we live in.
Let us hope and pray that this is not true.

Oh had I known back in 1990.
I agree with you: I have always understood it to be a conscious choice to "receiving" the mark of the beast. And that the Blood-Bought Saints would reject it and die for that rejection. And I stand by that belief.
And YOUR beliefs are yours. Whatever it is going to be or is, will be RESISTED by some up to bloodshed. We won't just go namby pamby on to the box cars.
As I see it, consensual beheadings will abound. Government guillotines will be employed. But until then, here is what I believe is next:

I agree about the "rapture nonsense" and that any disagreements eventually divide and cause strife.

And some years ago, I spent a lot of time and effort to obtain a Social Security Card.
