9 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,
10 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:
It was just my understanding that people who get the mark of the beast would do so after agreeing to worship the Antichrist.
Not trying to argue though. Thank you for your reply. God bless and stay safe in these perilous times we find ourselves in.
I think my understanding of hell is different than most Christians. I do not believe that hell is a place of fire like we think of fire.
Hell is a place were truth is not. Hell is a place set aside for those who refuse to walk in truth.
I would even go so far as to say God created hell as a mercy for those who refuse to walk in truth.
Without hell they would have no place in exist.
Hell is a place where no matter what, you are always under torment. That torment is brought upon by your refusal to see the truth.
Yes God is bringing the torment but just as we see people right now living in fear over nothing. God does not use outside forces to bring punishment. That punishment comes from within.
We were designed to walk with God. When we choose to walk another way we walk away from life. There is a cost.
It could be very possible that people will suffer from this mark or passport (the Vax). They will be tormented with fire and brimstone ---Their fear will come alive within them and those fears will eat them alive. The very thing they fear will consume them.
At any moment they can call out to God and he will forgive them. Their fears will not allow them to believe the truth. Look at how many times in the bible it says fear not.
We all have free will so God cannot force us to walk with Him.
Even in the presence of the Lamb they will be in their own created torment. as it says in verse 10
Even if the children of God ask him to show those people mercy they will refuse to receive it.
They have believed the lie that God has forsaking them.
Like you said, I am not interested in arguing over this. It is not important if we know this or that. What is important is that we seek Him with everything we have.
I was referencing Revelation 14 verse 9 & 10.
