Page "Left Behind" Paragraph 14

Some premillennialists, while accepting many of the basic beliefs behind the series, describe problems with specific prophetical teachings in the Left Behind books.

For instance, in The Mark, Chang Wong receives both the mark of the beast and the sealing of the Lord and he is later accepted into heaven, despite having the mark.

In Desecration, the character's dual-marking was justified in the storyline.

He was saved because he did not accept the mark of the beast ; he was forced to receive it because he was involuntarily put to sleep and then given it.

It was noted in one particular paragraph in the book Desecration, after hitting the " motherlode " as he called it, that Chang at one point attempted to mumble to his father that he was a " Believer " as he carried him into the room to receive his mark.

This has led some readers to wonder how a Christian can have the mark of the beast and still be saved.
