about your comments of "There
is only one way not to receive it's curse if you have taken the mark.
That would be to remove it. Perhaps this is alluded to in the scripture
that says it would be better to lose your eye or arm if it is leading
you to hell."
Please
reread the following Bible passages below. No where in these Bible
verses does it say that if you cut off your hand after
receiving the mark of the beast in it that you will remove the curse
from taking the mark. In fact in Rev. 14:11b,
"..
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his
image and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." So you are not
going to now bless yourself by cutting off your hand that already
received the mark. You have to keep the commandment of God not to
worship the beast and his image, and not to take the mark of the beast,
and die for your faith. Rev. 14:12 says, "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Rev.
14:13 says, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord henceforth:"
It is those Christians who didn't worship the beast and his image nor
did they take the mark of the beast that are found in Rev. 15:1-2, "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."
Rev.
14:9-13, "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. 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."
Rev.
15:1-2, "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."
