The Big Mistake

---

“He (Anti-Christ) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name”. (Revelation 13:16-17)

This mark, often associated with the number 666, is a sign of allegiance to the beast and is necessary to engage in economic transactions. Those who refuse the mark and continue to worship God will be persecuted and killed.

In Christianity, the unforgivable sin, also known as the unpardonable sin, is generally considered to be blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This involves attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to Satan or deliberately rejecting the Holy Spirit's conviction and influence.
The "mark of the beast" is considered an unforgivable sin because it represents a final and complete rejection of God and Christ. 

Distraction is the #1 weapon of choice for the "enemy". Satan used it on Eve and even tried it on Jesus. All of the noise concerning if, when and how this will happen is simply distraction. It's gonna happen. 

The enemy will do whatever he can to encourage us to do something against God’s plan. He is always trying to steer us off-course with disobedience. When we focus on sins and fleshly desires rather than God’s plan, we can become distracted from God as we try to take care of ourselves rather than look to our Heavenly Father to care for our needs in His perfect timing.
