Rev. 14:9-11 says, And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast
and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead,
or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of
the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of
the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 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."
Rev.
14:12-13, "Here is the patience of the saints: here
[are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying
unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labours; and their works do
follow them." We see the beheaded saints, who didn't
worship the beast and his image nor did they take the
mark of the beast in their forehead nor in their right
hand, in Rev. 15:1-3 which says, "And I saw another
sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels
having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled
up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of
glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the
victory over the beast, and over his image, and over
his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on
the sea of glass, having the harps of God."
After that,, the seven plagues in the vials of
the wrath of God are poured out upon the earth.
According to Rev. 16:2 the first vial of God's wrath
is poured out the men which had the mark of the
beast and them which worshipped his image, and in
Rev. 16:10 the fifth vial of God's wrath is poured
out upon the seat of the beast. No man repents
during the wrath of God. Rev. 16:9 says, "And men
were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the
name of God, which hath power over these plagues:
and they repented not to give him glory." Rev. 16:11
says, "And blasphemed the God of heaven because of
their pains and their sores, and repented not of
their deeds."
So
no one repents during the wrath of God which means
no will do the following in your 2/10
post in which you stated:
"As
regarding the Mark of the Beast, if it is an
implanted device, then salvation can be
obtained by yanking that sucker out, and
accepting Jesus Christ as Savior."
"If
the Mark is a tattoo, then only laser light
can burn that away. Then one can accept Jesus
Christ as Savior."
Since
the Bible is the truth, no one repents of
their deeds during the wrath of God which
means no one gets saved. The vials of God's
wrath are reserved for the unsaved people who
worshipped the beast and the image of the
beast and who have the mark of the beast in
their forehead or in their right hand.
