I've always been on board but I had reasonable doubts, ofc. Nobody wants to believe this kind of madness is truly coming into our reality.
I guess now it's starting to get real and I'm not sure we are ready for what's coming.

In any case, it is not possible to have a "mark of the beast" until there is a Beast. So where is the Beast. Where is the great power dominating the worlld and persecuting to death those who insist on remaining with their God?

Just tread the narrow path and not worry too much about it (not you specifically).

You're not ...er "lion."
I might say that was too harsh and most churchy folk are at least trying to be decent people, and here attempting to save others from eternal damnation by receiving some widget upon brow and hand, which is basically a face value solid, but a mystic leaning anti-church xtian trying to explain his views once told me that the biggest turn off regarding Christianity are Christians.
I had to agree. I hear a too serious "thee" or "thou" and paraphrased passages of goodeth books wherein "drunketh and deceiveth was Lot and knoweth he his daughters in the cave robustly for a fortnite" and I want to dance around a fire with pan pipes and no knickers.
The basics of most religions are nifty and Jesus is just all right with me, but the problems arise from certain earthly hierarchies and little things like throwing a son from the family for liking the local quarterback a bit too much, warring with other belief systems or, say, burning millions of books... and herbalists alive.
I will say that whoever starts putting barcodes on foreheads and wrists and makes folks swear allegiance to an AI before being able to buy and sell has done very, very poor research and PR work.

We are in deep sh-t if that is so.
Judgment day is upon us from the looks of ithings so I guess the best we can do is work on ourselves, fight for the truth and learn to love and forgive.

This isn't the mark of the beast. It is the harbinger to it. First comes the social change, then the acceptance for 'safety & security', but last, last and most important is the worship, the allegiance to an entity whom most will consider the savior, be it man or machine and will take it anyway, knowing the whole truth.
