And when will the mark of the beast come into play because it says in the bible that no man or woman will be allowed to eat buy things, sell or trade unless they have to mark of the beast. Will you take the mark?

deb: "When" ... this will occur as Satan moves to further, his demented purpose of trying to kill off the human race. Remember the saying; " War is based on deception and the first casualty is the truth" ! The great Deceiver is none other than Satan ... he will move to both, influence and cause both, the "Beast" and "False Prophet" to fulfil his will to render deception to the masses. The "False Prophet" will perform many "miraculous" magical wonders to mislead the masses. The "Beast" will head the then, system and manipulate those, who reject the attempts to "indoctrinate" him or her and cause people to receive an identification mark enabling him or her to imbibe of the system's economic privileges. Without this "mark", you will not be allowed to either, work nor purchase any items such as food nor clothing. The correct perspective will be to turn to Jesus Christ to meet our needs and not a man.

The mark of the beast will come into play about 1900 years ago. It was a metaphore, applicable to that generation. As the Scripture says, the Anti-Christ has been around since the time of the Apostles. The Book of Revelation is a series of four visions that depict the origins and development of the Christian Church from four different perspectives.

Most of the book of Revelation has already happenned. it was foretelling of the pagan persecution of the church. I am pagan, former Christian minister for 25 plus years. Even pagans today are unaware that it was the pagans who tried to destroy Christianity in the second century. That is because today pagans are peacefull people.
those things were said must shortly come to pass if you read the first chapter. Shortly does not mean 2000 years later or more.
History teaches us that the Christians were persecuted and the mark of the beast was already passed and many Christians died because the refused to bear the mark. all the mark was is a symbol of having had worshiped the emporor and other gods, not of the Bible. It was against the law to not honor the pagan dieties, punishable by death. That is why the Martyrs wer called such because they died for their faith. I thinkk i is dispicable for Christians to turn to the book of Revelation and try to make it say we are living in those times now. that dishonors all the Christians who really went through the tribulation.

According to prophecy, he will not perform miracles until later in his reign. The mark of the beast should not come until about half way thru the tribulation. There will be ways around being able to eat and buy. Too many are strong in their faith and will not bow to him. There will always be people to do business with. In the Left Behind series, they came up with a co-op from people all over the world. I'm sure something like that will be able to be implemented.
I will not take the mark, I will die for my faith in God. I'm hoping the Rapture will take me so I don't have to go thru it all.

Anti-Christ signs and wonders: 2 and one half days from now. Scary isn't it?
As to Mark of the Beast, maybe the internet. They know who and where each one of us is. You can not hide.

The Anti-Christ is already here...in the form of any person or organisation that is against Almighty God Jehovah's incoming new system.
It is god himself who will be doing all the signs and wonders. Not the Anti-Christ..
(Hebrews 2:4) while God joined in bearing witness with signs as well as portents and various powerful works and with distributions of holy spirit according to his will?

I believe the anti-Christ is not just one person, but a power that overcomes many to act out evil bidding's. I think the people chosen to do this have no knowledge of it. These miracles and wonders are already occurring. And anyone who breaths has already been marked and needs to repent. All this blindness is truly Gods will. It will be honorable for us all to accept the fate he chooses and return to him for our needs.
