as I am setting here in my warm house with plenty of food and water, no one coming in every 2 hour's to beat the hell out of me for 10-15 minutes while telling me it will all stop if I just take the mark.
yeh I say never, and like to think I could hold out for the 10 days..
however after talking to guy's who came home from the prisoner of war camps in viet-nam, and how they could break the will of even the strongest men. how after a week of no food, and only a cup of water evry other day, and then the beatings, they, you, me, anyone would say/do anything to make it stop...
I would take the option of running to hide... counting on the promise of protection and provision in the place our LORD has told us HE would make for those who flee to the mountians/wilderness....
In the Scriptures, God says that He will never give us more than we can handle. I believe that. When tragic or dangerous things happened during my lifetime, God was always there for me. He has performed many miracles for me and my loved ones.
In my years of research, I've read stories and heard testimonies about believers of Christ who were shot at close-range (with guns) and not touched by bullets, who were beat and not injured, who were starving and food appeared or came from strangers, and many other miracles. Jesus said He will always be with us. He will never leave us or forsake us. I believe Him as He never lies. The same miracles that happened when Jesus walked the earth still happen today in many parts of the world.
I pray daily and experience many miracles myself, so I know this is true.
When the Mark of the Beast comes, if I am put to the test, I will look to the Lord and pray for strength. He will sustain me.
