Hi, Doves!
 
Here is a link to a poem that the Spirit inspired me to write last year called "Don't Ever Take the Mark!".  Beneath it are the pertinent Scriptures that deal with this subject.  They are God's words, Tim, not mine.  He offers absolutely NO forgiveness whatsoever... there's not even a "well, maybe" attached to His words.  If you take the mark during the Tribulation, you are DOOMED to eternal death, which is the exact opposite of eternal life!  If you take the mark in order to be able to eat, buy, sell, and everything else, you are pledging allegiance to Satan himself, via his "son".  You can't serve two Gods.
