Re: What will the mark of the beast be?

"The interesting thing about all of this is that if it's time for it to happen, it's going to happen, and nothing will stop it. It's all a part of God's plan. The only thing that you can and should do, is tell as many as you can about salvation and how to get it. Other than that, God's got it under control, and it will all happen the way that it's supposed to."

Perhaps, celebrating, instead of being fearful of, the end and the beginning, together. As inseparable as night is from the day, God does not exist without Satan. No one needs saving, for salvation, too, comes in its own time... whenever one has come to that point for him/herself, and not so much by what others are saying as to what one should do.
There is only one sin and that is being unconscious, only one virtue and that is being conscious. The turmoil witnessed outwardly provides the perfect backdrop for inner growth of peace within.
