    I have a question about this vaccine. I need to know if it may be the mark of the beast. That is what I need to know before I take it. Thank You

    Cb,

    If you read in the book of Revelation about the mark of the beast, you will find that there is a prerequisite to receiving the mark. A person can not just show up and receive the mark. In order to receive the mark, a person has to first bow down and worship the beast or the antichrist. Revelation tells us that this mark was placed either on the forehead or the hand. When the antichrist is revealed, everyone who is alive on this earth will know who he is. He will demand that people worship him. A person must worship him first before they can receive the mark.

    Now, if you are a believer and have been born of God's Spirit, you will never worship the antichrist, which means you can't receive the mark. The scripture is clear that a person who is a "Christ Follower," they will not follow the voice of a stranger.

    I don't see how this vaccine fits the description of the mark. John lays it all out in the book of Revelation about the events that must first take place before the mark can be received and that time has not come yet.

    Please know that this mark is not just given freely to people. You cannot receive it unless you bow down and worship the beast. And how can you worship the beast if he hasn't been revealed yet?

    Hi Cb,

    To add to the details Adam stated for you. I was going to just make a post about this but as I see your question I am replying to you.

    I must speak from the heart. This is no joke. I just watched a man filled with the Holy Ghost preach for over 5 hours. A lot of what he stated I already knew. Though he shed light on numerous things. Here is just one thing in Scripture I believe should be known. Not just for you but all my brothers and sisters in Christ and anyone that may see this.

    Revelation 18:23-24. And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy "sorceries" were all nations deceived.

    24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

    In this verse the word "sorceries" is the Greek word "pharmakeia". Which we get the English word pharmacy from. Meaning the use or administering of drugs, poisoning, or sorcery. And there is known to be the cells of aborted fetuses in the "vaccine" which links to verse 24.

    That being just one parallel I was led to. As I said before I would never tell anyone to get this "shot". Keep your faith, and trust, in the Lord with all your heart.

    As I said I will not condemn someone if they got the shot. Though I am not the one who is on the Throne in Heaven whom people will have to stand before.

    I'm not going to seem all wise and say I know this is the mark. Though what if it really is? Would you jeopardize your soul? To be accepted by the world? Or would you rather be accepted by the Lord.

    I will apologize beforehand as I don't want controversy. I know we must all make our own decisions. Though I feel I must post these things.

    Over 700 million people have been vaccinated and over 15 million people a day are receiving the shot. And the rate is going up.

    God Bless.

    the vaccine is not the mark!! first off its not in your right hand or forehead!!, 2nd your not instructed too take the mark or you wont be able too buy food, goods,ect.. OR sell your goods ect.. it is a foreign substance with a created life so rapidly,i am seeing more n more deaths from the shot,though its minor, compared too those who have gortten it who had no adverse side affect,mainly death the second day!! but tel that too the families who have lost a someone too the vaccine! just because mass people are not dropping from it yet!??, a death or deaths are a statistic. and too be noted!!

    Brother, Many of us think that time is nearly over and new tests to our remaining faith have arrived and this is true. Yet almost over still could be awhile. Revelation, Daniel, the Gospels all predict the end times and warn to be ready for the return of Jesus Christ our Lord. Many Christians have the Holy Ghost and are able to discern truth from untruth in their lives whether they are young Christians or old. When a Christian burdens down the clear message of Salvation in Jesus Christ with a perceived understanding of the end times prophecy, they may be taking away from the chapter and adding a chapter that is just not meant to be. It is my belief that this possibility is far greater than the fear of a born again Christian partaking of anything physical in this earth which can be repented of if the Bible speaks of it clearly as sin or if the Holy Ghost puts conviction into the heart of an individual soul to do or not do. We must eat of His flesh and drink of His blood to have life eternal.

    Just some morning thoughts.

    God bless our meditations

    Good morning brother,

    Truly no one knows the exact time of the "end" except our Father in Heaven. Though we must be vigilant in what is going on in the world around us. I would say things are getting quite Biblical/historical.

    As you stated what is most important for us is to keep our faith in the Lord. Focus on Him with a pure heart. To be ready for Him at the time we least expect. As any of us could die/be killed at any moment which to me can be paralleled to the coming of the Lord. Weather we are to be here to see the end, or not, to me does not really make much difference. The Lord is everything to me. As everything in this world is vanity.

    Matthew 10:34-38. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

    For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

    And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

    He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

    And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.

    Matthew 24:42-51.

    Luke 9:60-62. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

    And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

    And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

    The devil is very cunning and crafty. It may not be as easy to spot certain things, of the end, as some perceive it. We are living in times like never before. I myself see this shot as "them" trying to corrupt the flesh of people. Why God flooded the world in the time of Noah. Only God knows if I'm right or wrong. The truth shall come to light one day.

    God Bless you my brother. Have a wonderful day.

    That's a good question. Others have asked that too and there was a recent discussion about that here: Link

    I personally don't think it's the mark of the beast, but that doesn't mean I'm ok with taking it. I don't see the need to take an experimental injection for a virus that only 7% of the US population got in more than a year. 93% have not gotten it. But even if you're within the unlucky 7% that get it, it's 99.9% survivable. Only those with other health risks, obesity, etc are at higher risk. So, why should I rush to take an experimental injection that 90% have said gave them side effects, change their DNA, and a % have died from. So, I risk death to protect against death? Meanwhile there is already a very cheap medicine that's been around 60+ years that has shown 100% positive results in hundreds of studies involing tens of thousands of people across the world with no downside. So, there's already a medicine that hugely speeds recovery, but because some bad players released fake news about it and got the evil media to back their lie, people got afraid and ruled it out. What a twisted world we live in where satan deceives everyone with so many lies. It takes a lot of research to figure out what the truth is and when you do, you still will have people claiming you don't have the truth, that what they saw on TV is instead the 'truth'. God help us.
