The Bible says that people receive “the mark of the wild beast” because they follow it “with admiration,” to the point of worshipping it. (Revelation 13:3, 4; 16:2) They do this by giving worshipful honor to their country, its symbols, or its military might. As The Encyclopedia of Religion states: “Nationalism has become a dominant form of religion in the modern world.”
How is the mark of the beast placed on someone’s right hand or forehead? (Revelation 13:16) Regarding his commands to the nation of Israel, God said: “Bind them as a reminder on your hand, and they should be like a headband on your forehead.” (Deuteronomy 11:18) This meant, not that the Israelites were to mark their literal hands and foreheads, but that God’s words would guide all their actions and thoughts. Likewise, rather than being something literal such as a 666 tattoo, the mark of the beast symbolically identifies those who let the political system rule their lives. Those with the mark of the beast place themselves in opposition to God.—Revelation 14:9, 10; 19:19-21.
Thanks, Carm. I hesitated clicking the Submit reply button because I don't want to voice negativity, but it's been a rough last several days for various reasons. And I don't have any friends or family who understand what's really happening, and they don't want to know. Even those who think they're Awake-- I can hear them snoring from here. I'm thankful to you and some others on here who remind me I'm not alone.
I've been thinking today that maybe the reason for so much cognitive dissonance, even among those who believe they're awake (worshippers of Q come to mind as an example) is because 1. They believe the US government is all about representing the people and taking care of them and 2. That the US presidents don't actually rule the US is beyond their comprehension and outside their comfort level.
To those people, how do you prove that Q is not their savior and also doesn't represent their savior? How do I prove that radio signals exist to someone who has never owned or listened to a radio?
I was an HRC supporter too and I've not made a secret that I was a lifelong Dem until I woke up in the months before the Trump/HRC election. But this offers me hope because if you and I were able to wake up, then others will too. Unfortunately though, I think we're in a serious time crunch because the world is devolving quickly and it may soon be irreversible.
So true. They believe Trump has power. They don't realize that he is a puppet dancing on strings of the master. I think another reason is that a lot of people feel like its now or never and that if Trump doesn't save everybody that they are doomed. Trump wasn't going to help them anyway and couldn't if he tried. The people will have to unite to make that happen. In a way Trump has been a terrible thing because he has created a greater split in the left/right atmosphere. There was a time for a while when the truth community had chosen "neither left nor right" and the community was very united. That blew out the back door to a large degree after Trump. Q has made it a hell of a lot worse too.
Oh Yes, I know what you mean. Snore is a good description. I am even afraid to bring things up for I know, they are thinking, here we go again. I don't know how they are going to handle some of the things we are expecting. Are they happy with all the drug deaths, the violence, and False Flags? I did not grow up in a world like this. This could be the problem. They don't know anything different. How sad. What a different time it was.
they already know, this will make it easier for them............
yep, I cried, I feel scared, and don't know what to do either
its communism, the mark of the beast
I saw this a couple of days ago. This is why I post news articles in the comment section in the Q threads sometimes. This is the sort of stuff Q leaves out. Q leaves out all the deep state stuff going on like this. While people are being distracted by Q the deep state is surrounding us every day. This is why I continue to say that when it comes to political parties the answer is 'neither' because both parties are owned by the bankers and consider us their cattle. The parties fight over who gets to steal the most of our tax dollars with all their theater but at the end of the day neither of them are talking about anything that truly is important to commoners.
Hear. Hear. I highly agree that many are asleep and do not realize that we are being surrounded by the enemy and soon it will be too late. We have lost many researchers to the Q site and they spend less time here now spreading pizzagate. I am not begrudging them their right to spend time where they want, but we have lost many. It is sad, imo. When they finally reach their goal many will be standing with their mouths hanging open. But but but........ They have been playing this game way longer than we have. They know how to pull the wool over our eyes and many times we just let them.
Yes, no one does me either. I am having two for lunch on Thurs. I will tell them. I think they will believe......they will not like it. After I posted this, I received more emails from others. They are very upset and they are still Dem. and Angry. They plan on fighting it.
I am really riled up about this. I need to calm down. They are really pushing this hard this time. My friend is not going to get one, Come Hell or High Water is what she said . I agree.

I thought about your remark while out, and I have to say that it Blew Me Away. Could not have expressed it better than that.

Sadly, you can't.
They might realize over time that nothing has happened and that they've been played.
Most likely, they won't. There will always be excuses for Trump. In a way I understand, as I was an ardent HRC supporter once... blush

Yeah. It feels like Q is the quarterback and Trump is the Hail Mary.
And we're not in the red zone. If enough of us don't wake up we're going to get a touchback.
ARggh. I don't even watch football anymore...
