"Kay: Jews *Will* Take the Mark and Still Be Saved"


I wrote: "No one, not even Jews, will be celebrating this day in the Beast's worldwide kingdom because they will all be worshipping him under his mark"

Hmm, where do you see the Jews will be saved in a day and why does that stop the entire secular nation from taking the mark as Revelation clearly says?
 
Remember, those who take the mark will be everyone on earth whose name is not written in the book of life (Rev 13:8). That includes most Jews being secular, especially since the Beast's armies move in to Israel first to take control.  Yet there will be survivors after the Tribulation in spite of the mark they took and the 7 bowls of wrath they had to endure because of it.  Taking the mark is not the end of the world, it just keeps you from the First Resurrection.  We know this because it's said that once Messiah comes and frees everyone from the Beast and his mark, the survivors shall instead keep the Torah including coming to worship him at the feast of Tabernacles year to year (Rev 14).  The mark does not doom everyone, just deceives them more severely than they are now.  God will not judge everyone forever for taking a mark so they could eat...but he will keep them out of his first resurrection for this compromise.
