The Mark of the Beast

In the Book of Revelations there is a lot of talk about the "Mark of the Beast." This mark is supposed to indicate the AntiChrist of the ages who will level the earth to destruction. Hold on to your hats. It is proposed that by a certain time in history we all may have chips in our hands that indicate who we are and allow us to pass through airports and grocery stores and gas stations without having to checkout. Everything will be electronically done and charged to our accounts. 

            Many Christians are afraid of this moment in time and would protest loudly to such a dominant move by government, assuming it is, indeed, the next move toward the end of the world. 

            I wonder about all of it. A mark, chips, 666, an antiChrist—I believe there has been an AntiChrist in the world ever since Jesus lived. Someone has always been trying to rid the world of Christianity and, in that day, certainly Jesus. If we want an antichrist for this era, why not pick the Nazi's Hitler? 

            God has been trying to reveal himself through us since the beginning of time in GOODNESS, WONDER, LOVE, JOY, POWER, TRUTH, COMPASSION... 

            The antiGod has also been revealing itself through us just the same since the beginning. 

            In the book "Power vs. Force" David Hawkins suggests that true power doesn't take an opposite response. But force, on the other hand, always requires an equal and opposite response. 

            If I were to believe that God was force, then I would believe that as the force of Good became greater in the world, than the force of negativity would become greater. 

            But God in His majesty is POWER.  God requires no equal and opposite negative response to Good. So, what need would there be for destruction, if good were to somehow disempower the negativity in the world and rise up to a place of Reigning over all the world? 

            Force, however, in the hands of people who want to shove their values down people's throats and command them to be good, would require an equal and opposite response. Maybe this is what Revelations predicts. Maybe the beast is the Force that pushes the world toward destruction. Just my opinion.
