MacArthur lost his way about 15 years ago. He became wise in his own eyes. He rewrote Scripture, " The Masters Bible" ( ?) , and is going to take a lot of people with him. If Scripture holds a literal stance on the "Mark".
Something to ponder...
If you simply stopped using your S. Security number, deny even having one to all people. What would happen to your life? No job, no car, no driver license, cable TV, phone Etc...
Your broke. No job no money. You cannot buy anything either. Because your broke. Nor could you sell anything. Because you have no way of selling as you cannot buy the item you want to sell.
16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark — the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is six hundred sixty-six.
The number of a man. Thats your ( man's) number. Without the number it's game over. The "MAN" is you, me, every man ( and women) , on earth. It's our S. Security number.
I go for a job interview. Whats my ( a man), S. Security number? Etc...
Something to kick around. The " 666" simply means money. Economics. Our economy is based upon our Number.
I state this with caution in the event I am wrong. But so far, if things keep going and at the pace they are going, 5-10 years it's "game over".
Google: Aadhaar. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a central government agency of India.[4] Its objective is to collect the bio metric and demographic data of residents, store them in a centralized database, and issue a 12-digit unique identity number called Aadhaar to each resident.[5][6] It is considered the world's largest national identification number project.[7][8]
As of March 2016, the original legislation to back UIDAI is still pending in the Parliament of India.[9] However, on 3 March 2016, a new money bill was introduced in the Parliament for the purpose.[10] On 11 March 2016, the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016, was passed in the Lok Sabha.[11]
