is iPASS the mark of the beast?
You know people have been saying "this", and then "that", is the mark of the beast. Let me tell you what I believe that particular verse means. Most know that Revalation is a purely figurative piece, it make perfect logic to say is that dragon with ten horn and however many heads isn't literal then neither is the mark of the beast. The Bible talks about the mark being in the hands and the forehead, and without it people will not be able to get food. I believe that means people DOING evil (ie. with their hands) and people THINKING evil (ie with their foreheads). Overall I believe that the passage says that as time goes on it is going to become harder and harder to live in this world as a Christian.
And on another note I dont believe in the Rapture either, it too being a figurative story basically telling us how the faithful will be gathered into the clouds during the final day of Earth, note I said "DAY" not 7 years (I still have no clue where the 7 years comes from, its just not in the Bible) Well , hopefully this doesnt turn into a religion thread, I just thought I give my take on the question. If it does become a religous thread lets make sure everyone is respectful of others. OK then everyone have a GREAT day.
