Rev. 19:20 goes along with my 12/05 post called "Don't Be Deceived By The Miracles of the Beast Into Worshipping The Beast's Image" at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2013/donnad125-2.htm  Please compare the verses below because it is the miracles of the false prophet of Rev. 19:20, who is the second beast in Rev. 13:14, that deceived the people that received the mark of the beast.

Rev. 19:20, "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

Rev. 13:14, "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

Rev. 20:4 which I didn't quote in my 12/05 post also points out the following:

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

So don't even think that a person can worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, and then cut of their hand that has the mark of the beast to avoid hell nor try to remove it because it won't get a person into heaven.  Those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God didn't worship the beast nor his image and they didn't receive his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands. 

However, would someone like to explain to me how taking a chip for health care purposes (not that I would want to take one anyway) is the mark of the beast if the chip was taken BEFORE the miracles were performed by the False Prophet to deceive a person into receiving the mark of the beast??????  As I see it, the False Prophet's miracles have to be performed first before the mark of the beast is received by a person because the False Prophet's miracles deceived them that received the mark of the beast according to Rev. 19:20 and Rev. 13:14.
