Doomsday siege in icy cave

In a snowy cave in Russia, some thirty men, women, children and a 16 month old baby are barricaded in, waiting to survive the "apocalypse" which their dangerous leader Fr. Pyotr Kuznetzov  of the "True Orthodox" breakaway church  predicts for May next year. The doomsday sect liken tax ID numbers to the "mark of the beast", but that is the most reasonable of their beliefs. They threaten to blow themselves up, want the canonization of Ivan the Terrible and Stalin, and are said by Aleksandr Dvorkin, Professor at the  Religious and Cultic Studies Centre in Moscow, to be totalitarian and exploitative.  There is considerable concern about the safety of the followers as the temperature drops.

Aha, the dangerous leader has predicted an apocalypse for next year. Haven't I read somewhere about an Armagedddon? When, according to reliable (non-dangereous) sources, is this about to happen?

The Bible talks about "The Blind leading The Blind". The Mark of The Beast Will be Put on Your Right Hand Or forehead according to Revelation 6. Anything else is not "The Mark". With the use Of credit Card Scanning and other uses now in play worldwide people will be lulled into a trap getting this Mark when the Time comes....

Umm, the 666 Mark of the Beast is described in Rev 13, not Rev 6. But, yes, it IS coming, and it will implemented on the right hand or the forehead with the demand that you worship the (coming) world ruler, the infamous Antichrist. Accepting the Mark means a one-way ticket to eternal damnation in Hell. Not accepting it, means you can't buy or sell anything, meaning you starve, and ultimately, that you will be executed (beheaded) for refusing the 666 Mark.

Push come to shove, I'd rather believe in Jesus and refuse the Mark, die on Earth but and live forever in glory, than accept the Mark and live on Earth for a short while but go to Hell forever. That's a no-brainer, don't you think?
