Remember, we lost Eden and perfection because that nice man you refer to wanted us all to be as gods.
His gifts come with steep price.

I dunno, seems to me like religious clubs are on the way out.
Imagine being rich in this world, why even bother with all these shenanigans? To what end? They've already arrived where everybody wants to be. They don't want to take over, they just want to continue.
I'm sure there are weird rich people out there, but no way they're that organised or dedicated to cult domination.

Maybe it was never intended that we would never be given the knowledge.
Maybe Adam and Eve were babes, lacking the maturity and the experience to deal with the knowledge bestowed on them at a time they were not ready to receive it.
With guidance, support, direction, and growth, the knowledge would have been a gift.
From where we stand today, knowledge without understanding is more like a curse.
If I am correct in the above, then, Adam and Eve, would never "Be Ready" to receive the knowledge. We were created perfectly to fulfill our function.
Maybe Adam and Eve were babes, lacking the maturity and the experience to deal with the knowledge bestowed on them at a time they were not ready to receive it.
Maybe the knowledge was supposed to be discovered independently when the time was right!
knowledge was being pushed on a psychically young & unaware child race, who were supposed to live the great adventure & gradually discover everything for themselves in the fullness of time, being

being inducted into the orders of Elohim ultimately, perhaps (as indicated in Scripture, if you can figure out where to look).
Colossians 2:8 - Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
James 5:12 - But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
John 18:20 - Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

It all boils down to our being forced to either obey certain laws of our country and disobey God, or having to violate certain laws of our country in order to obey God.
That's the real test.
If you are faithful and true to God, you'll find yourself for a short time before christ returns without a job, without the right to buy and sell, in medical apartite and towards the pointy end of the situation even facing the death penalty.
Does this sound impossible- clearly already in progress.
To receive the mark in the forehead simply means you believe it, loyal to it, to receive it in the hand simply means they go along with it- not because they believe it but because their hand was forced in order to buy and sell, keep jobs and make a living. The hand is the symbol of work and making a living.
There will of course be an outward sign (mark) whereby identification will be clear. That mark likely will be a sore of some kind.
" and the first Angel went, and poured out his VIAL apon the earth, and there fell a NOISOME AND GRIEVOUS SORE upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped the beast"

The serpent didn't want us to be gods [if he said so, he meant having the same knowledge as gods]. He wanted us to eat from the tree of knowledge! Why not? Why did god want us to be naked dumbasses in a guilded cage [eden]?
At best it's patronising, at worst he wanted compliant underlings. For what?
It's like the red pill and the blue pill in the Matrix.
Do you want to know the grisly truth and be yourself, or keep living the fake good life, naked and someone's pet or slave?
I'll chose the truth and knowledge and all that comes with it any time before a fake life that doesn't allow me to learn and widen my own mind.
Any time.
However, the Beast system is doomed to fail : humans are not bees, and history shows that such a system, e.g. soviet communism, has a life of about 70-80 years.
