mark on the beast

I have an old, small dog named Hercule. In order to take him to Spain on a plane we have to get the proper paperwork to allow entry into the European Union. Okay - no problem but we just found out that Hercule has to get either a tattoo or a microship implant with all of his personal information on it. Oh no! - I'm a Christian and my Dog has to get The Mark of The Beast!?! Does this mean he won't be allowed to run around my mansion in heaven? Are there spiritual consequences for me allowing one of God's creatures to receive The Mark? (Will I be consigned to dog hell?....what is dog hell like?) The good news is that he doesn't "buy nor sell" at this point in time anyway, so I'm okay there, but still....

Mark of the "Beast"? He is a best.

... now if he got the implant in his hindquarters, that might be allowable. If you provide - a shrubbery.

*ahem*

Depending on your interpretation of scripture, it's unclear whether all dogs go to heaven or not. However, there are signigicant writings that point to the existance of a doggie door to hell.

My question (in the less confounded human sphere) has been whether or not it would be possible for someone with the mark to be "witnessed to" and convert; therefore taking the mark to heaven with them. Assuming Frankenheim's canine-mid-trib theology, there will be Christian dogs on the earth while other dogs are taking the mark. Maybe you should start praying that God will send a Dog Missionary to Hercule, so that he could be led through the sinner's prayer after he takes the mark.

If you are concerned about Hercule not understanding a Spanish speaking dog minister, I would suggest that you start now on working out a communication language between the two of you so that Hercule can pray with you (possibly through tail wags, scratching or barks) and "confess" Jesus.
