7-4-99 606PM EDT As a Christian, I believe the Mark will come and it will of coarse be voluntary as the NWO implements its new economic system in a post Y2k calamity. The old system will be destroyed and the Bible is quite clear that you will not buy or sell without the Mark on weither your forehead or hand. I believe there will not be a Pre Tribulation Rapture,but that Chistians who do not take the MARK will be killed(Revelations mentions beheading and rumors are around that Justice Dept has a good supply of Guillotines stashed away). But some Christians will surviveaand be protected by God ; awaiting the Second Coming of Jesus Christ who will sweep away Beast system. As a after thought, the persecution of Christians has already begun the good old US.
