What form will worship of the Beast take? Will it be apparent that that is what people are doing, or will people worship without knowing what they are doing?

[@Cydia942]

The actual ritual the unbelievers will be doing to worship the beast isn’t exactly described, but in my opinion of interpreting the verses that talk about the Man of Lawlessness (antichrist) is that he will move into the newly rebuilt third temple in Jerusalem and claim himself to be Jesus Chris, the scriptures says in 2 Thessalonians 2:9 that it will be in accordance to how satan operates with satan always copy’s Christ. This would mean in my opinion child sacrifices via burnt offerings since many of the false idols in the Old Testament such as moloch or Baal required this practice. This is called the abomination of desolation and it will occur at the middle of the tribulation, 42 months before Christ returns with his saints. There is a scripture in the book of 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 that states that the people living on the earth during the tribulation will be given into strong delusions and hate the truth of the gospel. So in a way they will be unknowingly serving the beasts system through worship However; As for taking his mark they will be aware of what they are doing because in the book of Revelation 6:9-11 it states that there will be Christians who weren’t saved at the time of the rapture and the only way they can be saved is by rejecting the beasts mark, and because they reject it they will be beheaded. So do not worry about this have the Holy Ghost comfort you in knowing you’ll be in the Book of Life.

When he states "The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life" He is specifically talking about a singular person, who I am not allowed to say because you would not be willing to believe and because you would not understand why. This certain person would be called forth to do the bidding of god and will sin very much never allowing jesus to suffer for his sins. This is because he understands not what is right and what is wrong but what has to be done and how it is to be done by the will of god.

One thing is certain. The vast majority of modern churches, and even most modern English Bible translations, assume that the seven promises are for all believers, even translating the name as "those who overcome" or something similar. It's no accident, and a testimony to the human condition and the need for Divine guidance, that the more attention is given to a verse by preceding it with warnings like "He who has an ear, let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the churches" (all seven letters) or "This calls for WISDOM" (John) or "I tell you the TRUTH" (Jesus) or "I'm revealing to you Mystery that God has kept hidden from the very beginning" (Paul) and whatever is revealed ends up being the most misunderstood or ignored portion of Scriptures. But maybe that's for the best. Though they have ears, they can't hear. Though they have eyes, they can't see (Isaiah, and quoted by Jesus). Maybe that's not being mean, but the Spirit pulling the wool over people's eyes because the information is need-to-know. After all, the enemy is diligently studying Scriptures too. And he missed the intention of the cross until it was too late.

What do you think about this thought that there is a second group of people who live on earth and are called the earth dwellers....the humans that are hybrids. If one is a hybrid their names could not be found in the book of life because they don't have 100% of the DNA of Adam. And of course these would worship the Beast...in fact it says ALL who "dwell" on the earth will worship the Beast...all hybrids would. Well, we know that SOME will become believers who will NOT worship the Beast...they will probably be martyred. Anyway, just some thoughts to ponder.
