It's not just getting "the mark." It's getting "the mark," whatever it ends up being, and worshipping the beast. That seems to be the point-of-no-return. The shot may be a precursor or shadowing of that event, but I don't think it's the actual event spoken of in Revelations. Not yet. Although it's easy enough to see the set-up for it through what we're witnessing right now. I don't think they're going to succeed...yet.

We might have another 10 years maybe.
I can only guess at this point. It could be tomorrow; it could be a hundred years from now. But I don't think it'll take that long, either.
It won't be that long, i fear.
