3 Reasons Christians Should Stop Worrying about the Mark of the Beast
Share
Let’s apply some simple reasoning here.
Let’s assume the rapture happens before the tribulation (I believe it does).
We know the mark of the beast is only going to be relevant to those who are in the tribulation (The Bible is clear about this).
If both of these things are true, then you are not going to be here during this period of time. To make it plain and clear, you have nothing to worry about. The only time in history the mark of the beast becomes relevant is during this tribulation period. Since this period happens after the rapture of the church, it means right now we are not in that period.
By the way, let’s say I am wrong and the rapture happens some time during the tribulation as some believe. Then you can still lean back on the promise of John and Jude that we mentioned earlier. Regardless of what happens, if you are in Christ, you are safe. So stop worrying about the mark of the beast.

Jesus said in John 8:32, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Many times, the fears, anxieties, and worries we have come because we are not aware of the truth. This applies to the mark of the beast or anything else that can cause you great concern.
Whenever you are faced with something that seems scary or worrisome in nature, please fall back on the truth of God’s word. Let your comfort and your source of information be God’s word and nothing else. If you will do this then even in times where people are running around with great anxiety, you will not be one of them. You will know the truth and that will set you free.
