End Times – 2012

With the end of the world pending, I figured I should express my thoughts on some of the misplaced accusations of who or what is the anti-Christ.

What prompted this thought was the discovery that some people are opposed to Social Security numbers because they could be the mark of the Beast.

My criticism of that view is that it is limited to people in the United States only. I doubt that the events described in Revelation will be confined to the middle of North America.

Plus, I find anti-Christ predictions to be on par with predictions of the day of the rapture – useless at best and detrimental to Christian testimony at worst.

So let’s end the debate about what the mark of the Beast is or who the anti-Christ is.

Because it’s obviously Facebook.

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Revelation 13:16-17
