Hello, everyone.
Forgive me for my lack of knowledge/understanding on this topic

My question is this:

How can we be sure not to be deceived during the end times and unintentionally taking the Mark of the beast? Will we KNOW it is the mark of the beast, or is it something the devil can deceive us of?

Thank you, in advance.
 
Dear VeronicaAnn,
It all depends on your faith formation. If you have formed your conscience properly and walk according to God, then recognizing the things that come from the devil will be easier for you than for someone who has an ill-formed conscience or prayer life.
The devil WILL try to deceive you, as he has done to humanity since the beginning. However, God knows his tricks, and if we follow the Lord, it becomes easier and easier for us to know his tricks as well.

Thank you. I am faithful to my Catholic faith and pray often about it. I do believe Christ will open my eyes when the time comes. It is often still a scary thought, as it states, If possible, even the elect will be deceived. (Not sure if that is exact)
Thank you for your (name removed by moderator)ut. 🙂

You’re welcome.
And, unfortunately, some followers of Christ will be deceived, because the devil knows exactly how to tempt us, and if we have a weak will/discipline, then we won’t be able to hold tight to our faith.
But take heart: he can’t reach you if you hide in the open side of Christ. he can’t reach you if you hold tight to Christ’s Hand. Just stay faithful, even in trials.
I shall keep you in my prayers, my friend, that Christ may open your eyes to the devil.
