Do people who have not taken the mark of the beast still have an opportunity to be saved?
Yes. Anyone who has not yet taken the mark of the beast will still have an opportunity for salvation, because the 144,000 Jews will be proclaiming it. But once a person takes the mark, that opportunity ends; he is doomed the minute he takes it.
Les explains that this situation will be a blessing in disguise. Those who have not yet taken the mark of the beast will have an opportunity at salvation as the 144,000 Jews proclaim it. But if they have taken the mark, then even if others preach their hearts out, that individual will have no opportunity for salvation. He is doomed the minute he takes the mark of the beast. Les also identifies the mark as an 18-digit computer number, connected to the universal product code.
