    The Bible says if you don’t take the Mark you will be outcasted from society. Is this happening to anyone who refuses to accept Woke thinking?

    That describes me perfectly. Most of my time reading the Bible I was thinking how can sane people actually believe his stuff? Haven't been struck by lightening yet but keeping my fingers crossed.

    Ehhh... theres SO MANY things that 'could be' the mark of the beast.

    Free Will is kinda the defining factor here. I don't think 'the mark of the beast' will be something we wonder about. I think it will be clearcut and unambiguous. If you're wondering 'is this the mark of the beast?' I say no, it isn't. We'll know it when it comes.

    I don’t know who the we is you are referring to. What is known according to the Bible is if the Mark is not accepted that person will be casted out from society meaning no food, medical, a place to live, etc. We are seeing people lose their jobs if they do not accept the Wokes demands.

    For starters people who claim to be woke believe all white people are racist and that they should be held accountable for slavery. I’m really surprised you haven’t heard about this movement.

    I've heard the word a lot, but it seems to be used to describe a great many people for a great many reasons. Seems overly broad.

    I am not woke by your definition.

    That's not the case with wokism just yet. Maybe in some dystopian democrat cities but not for the majority. The vaccine was much closer to that mark and that passed. My guess is it will be more towards the transhumanism realm. Which this transgender wokism is sort of a warm up for...

    Once everyone has chips in their brains it will be a requirement to exist just like a phone has become so essential to society. Brain chips will enslave us to our addictions to our pleasures and there will be no escape. Corporations will make too much profit on targeting you in all the ways they can while they monitor your every pleasure center with perfectly targeted impulses and empty your accounts as you desperately give it all over.

    I thought barcodes were the mark of the beast. Or was it vaccines? One thing I am CERTAIN of is that Obama was the antichrist....because some right wing American told me so. Must be true. Does that mean the apocalypse already happened and we all missed it?

    This stuff really is difficult to follow. Its almost as if its just completely made up and people just make it say whatever they choose. Sort of makes you wonder how any sane adult could take it seriously.

    To begin with they say his mother was a virgin. That got me a bit incredulous from the start.

    In America we all are given a Social Security number. We use that number throughout our lives to get a job, open a bank account, apply for a credit card etc. The government now makes us report any transactions that add up to $10,000. Want to buy a gun? Show us your SS number. There are two things that the Democrats are planning 1. To stop making coinage and all transactions will be done using a card instead of money. Banks and many investors are buying Gold and Silver because they see a collapse of the U.S. economy. The 2nd thing that is going to happen is the devaluation and confiscation of gold and silver. Many say that can't happen but history says otherwise. For almost a century gold price was set at $20.67 a Troy Oz. Franklin Roosevelt confiscated Americas gold and froze gold at $35 a troy oz in 1934. In 1971 Nixon no longer honored gold at a fixed price. Perhaps you still have a old silver certificate laying around the house that your grandfather kept when the U.S. no longer honored silver and gold certificates. They are worthless, other than collectors items.

    175,000 new I.R.S. agents wasn't too go after the rich, as they have plenty agents to do that. They wanted to set up a tracking system that would allow them to track all transactions of money in the country and overseas. With A.I. this will be feasible in a very short time. Remember the howls from the past "One World Government". It is not far off.

    I don't know what the "mark" is but a totaltarian/authoritarian foundation needs to be established first...and we are seeing that being built as time goes on.
    Currently organizations and high profile entities can be denied banking services. High profile individuals can be easily targeted by IRS and prosecuters based on beliefs or politics. The pandemic opened up the concept of controlling masses by threatening their jobs if they refused to shoot an experimental vaccine into their bodies.

    Getting to the masses who just live their lives in anonymity and impeding their freedoms isn't easy. But some sort of public "mark" to separate the "good" citizens from the "bad" could institutionally make their lives hell and future at risk.

    This is not the definition of WOKE. But even it is the definition, what that has to do with ‘Mark of the Beast”

    Jesus’s message was one largely of love, kindness and forgiveness. Something modern evangelicals are so far detached from that it is almost ironic.

    The message of the Bible though — an omnipotent god created all things and then gave them tools it knew would “curse” them. Followed up by impregnating a child so that the rape baby could come and preach tolerance and love while the sky daddy plotted mass genocide so that laws it had previously written could be changed. Not to mention it creating evil just for shits and giggles, child cancer, mental illness — all so it can test everyone to see if they are worthy of worshiping it for all eternity.

    If your version of god exists — it’s evil.

    I'm pretty sure that people who cry woke are receiving the mark of something...

    So in other words, about 8 people in total, in all of the USA.

    Why do these 8 people concern you so much?

    I'm not denying that somewhere, someone probably believes the crazy thing you typed. It's just that I've never encountered such a person. It sounds like a bogeyman that your masters made up to scare you, because keeping you frightened keeps you obedient.

    there is no external ‘beast’. The beast is within you. Humans have turned the word of god into messages of fear. The true message of Jesus does not involve any fear or hate. Only the corruption the church has placed on Jesus’ message includes these things. The apostles were the first to distort his message, and it all went downhill from there.
