Excellent points! I agree completely. What you say ties in perfectly with a book I am now reading ("Looking Beyond the Mark") where the author, Max Skousen, points out that the mark is LOVE, and that obtain this love by yielding ourselves to the enticings of the Spirit, by losing ourselves and our egos for the Lord's sake, and by being submissive, meek and humble. He says that that seems too simple to many people so they go looking for something more profound, more egoistic, more knowledgeable, something they imagine they will win after they expend all their effort and energy to learn and obtain. Putting it simply, they prefer Wielding over Yielding.
