This is the question that may be partly responsible for vaccine hesitancy -- those who believe that the last days may be imminent are reluctant to take on the "mark of the beast."
I think the general context is fairly well known. A seven headed, ten horned "beast" arises in the last days, is assisted by various other figures, makes an alliance with a great red dragon, and enforces a "mark" to be taken in the hand or forehead that is required for participation in the beast's "reign of antichrist" society.
The vaccine qualifies in some estimations because you can have a piece of paper (in your hand) or knowledge (in your forehead) of vaccination, using this as your passport to participate fully in the current society.
Moreover, the modern globalist society seems to approximate the seven headed beast. It has certainly made alliances with the dragon, and is assisted by another beast in the image of a lamb (our mainstream media).
Looking into this further, I discovered that seven heads and ten horns is not just symbolic. The G7 countries would represent seven heads. Ten horns was a bit more complicated, but I realized that a horn was probably a leader (in other Biblical prophecy this is also the case), so looking at the seven member states of the G7, four are republics (and have one leader or horn), and three are constitutional monarchies and have two (an elected prime minister and a sovereign monarch). Remember Japan is one of those with an imperial family. Britain and Canada, you might object, share the same "horn" but in constitutional terms the Canadian head of state associated with the monarchy is our home-grown governor general, not the Queen. So it does add up to ten.
Also, the beast was said to have a deadly head wound that it "miraculously" recovered from. This can best be explained as follows: when the beast emerged from the sea (with the alliance in place with the dragon), the U.S. head was wounded because Trump was the president. He was anti-globalist. Now the U.S. head from the perspective of the beast's many followers is healed up with a globalist administration (fraudulently) empowered.
This is also significant to the timing aspect. It is said that the beast would have authority for 42 months. Clearly that cannot have begun before Trump was first elected. But I mentioned that in this analysis, the beast emerges from the sea during Trump's presidency. When might that have been? Possibly around early to mid 2018, when Chairman Xi consolidated absolute power in China, and when globalists were openly musing about global pandemics and population culling strategies at their annual meetings in Davos and the Bilderberg. I would say that January 2019 is about the last date I would assign, therefore we are somewhere in the last third of the 42 months now.
So therefore, is the vaccination business the literal fulfilment of the prophecy, and are we therefore commanded to remain unvaccinated? What about good and faithful people who either never thought about this and got vaccinated, or thought about it and decided it was better to take the chance? I have no insight into answers to these difficult questions, but would hope that faith will prove both an antidote to the harms that might lie ahead, or the judgement that might be possible.
It does pose more of a dilemma to a person like myself who is not by nature an anti-vaxxer in general, but on this one particular issue very hesitant and reluctant even before I factor in the issues related to eternal life.
It is stated in the same prophecy that Christ (or a Christ-like figure) returns with the onset of judgements against the beast, those who took the mark of the beast, and various other types of judgements of the end times.
Can we expect something like this at the end of the 42 months? Is that soon, or further away? Will not taking a vaccine expose us to harm, either from disease, or from a vengeful mob losing patience with us and being urged on by governments and the mass media to take out their frustrations on us? I heard on the local news that a survey shows (in my jurisdiction) 77% have "compassion fatigue" for the unvaccinated. I don't recall asking for compassion, I think they mean they don't care if we live or die and wouldn't go out of their way to offer medical care to the unvaccinated. The survey also claims that this number rises to 83% of the fully vaccinated (obviously the unvaccinated are largely compassionate towards their fellow unvaccinated). This is against a claim of 78% full vaccination (but in rural areas of my province the numbers are closer to 50-50).
My inclination was to remain unvaccinated just on the facts alone but with the added proviso that I would now be knowingly taking on the mark of the beast for my own convenience, it changes the dynamics of the decision for me. How about you (if unvaccinated, or faithful and vaccinated?) ... how do you see this? Will there be greater persecution and social ostracism coming our way? Will it get to the point of interfering in our ability to lead any sort of normal existence?
I think my decision is to withdraw from the society, which may include by necessity reducing ties with family and associates, and wait it out, until either the Biblical prophecy is fulfilled or at least the mass social delusion aspects fade away and the thing becomes a footnote of history perhaps.
This is perhaps easier for me, I am retired and not that involved in many social activities but I can see trouble looming on the family front if I make a very definite point of this (and as you can guess, I would, especially if pushed).
It would be the darpa element added to it.
That is coming.
Bkmk
My vote for most likely to be the Beast is either an AI, or the reason all this recent flutter about UFO’s is waiting to be shown.
Daniel 9:
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Prior to Revelation, there was only one sin that was unforgivable- denial of the Holy Spirit. However, there are conversion stories throughout time, where people’s hearts were opened and they received the Holy Spirit.
In Revelation, we’re shown a new thing- this “mark”. While in his youth a man may reject God’s Spirit and be transformed and redeemed, this “mark” presents a physical action, with spiritual implications, that condemns a man irredeemably. Here is a new thing entirely.
While the mark is a spiritual allegiance with the beast it is permanent and irrevocable. I mean this isn’t simply some tattoo.
I suspect that this mark changes a man in a way that cannot be undone and I suspect two scenarios.
1- this is a DNA change that cannot be undone. Christ died for men, created in God’s image. He didn’t die for monkeys. Maybe the permanent change is a DNA chimera change that fundamentally alters what the essence of the man is.
2- this is a digital change, whereby those who receive this mark are morphed into some digital ownership and complete alteration, whereby the thoughts and actions are controlled digitally into and by a beast computer system, completely erasing free will. Transhumanism. The evil are trying to connect us to computers. Look it up.
Or, it is a combination of both.
But whatever it is, it will be voluntary and each who partake in the system will KNOW what they’re aligning themselves with, in a system that will be religious, global and financial in nature.
Are the shots the mark? I don’t think so, but the mRNA, the magnetism, the graphine oxide and the nano particles may be a foundation for the whole program. Shot “passports” are a clear predictive programming of the masses for what’s sure to come.
It IS coming and the evil one’s time is short to implement it. In our lifetime I suspect.
Again, according to Scripture, the beast will do things that will let believers know that he is, in fact, the beast.
it is a rehearsal and example of mans mark, the beast or leader of the 10 european countries are not far behind this bs
No... this is not it... but it SETS THE PRECEDENT for how the actual mark will be mandated.
Bingo bango. You hit the nail on the head. It is NOT the Mark, but we are indeed seeing the prelude.
I'll go step further. If this contrived crisis doesn't bring about the New World Order and introduce the Beast, the next crisis certainly will.

“In the specific context of this interpretation, the 42 months began whenever the beast (globalist leaders broadly) made their deal with the dragon (China) and that would probably reduce to when they worked out how the COVID19 episode would begin and what would happen afterwards. This was most likely some time between March 2018 and January 2019 but could have been later. It had to be before Nov 2020 (the beast emerged with the head wound). If we’re saying March 2018 then we are very close to the end of the 42 months. But I don’t know when the deal was made.”
Ok, looking at the max and min dates...
For Jan 2019:
Jan 2019 plus 3-1/2 years is July 2022.
About 10 months away.
For March 2018:
March 2018 plus 3-1/2 years is Sept 2021.
About a couple weeks away.
Yes.
Mark Zuckerberg?
I say it will be sooner rather than later, simply because there is just not many left of the generation which saw the restoration of Israel.
And this Jab is certainly not prolonging that period either!
Winning = Willing.
Darn auto correct.
Governments are realizing that digital currency isn’t their enemy. Get people cashless, destroy the cash, then you have complete control over them - what they can buy/sell, where they can travel, what opinions they can have, etc.
If you don’t conform they can flip a switch and your life comes to a standstill - GLOBALLY. We’re almost there, China already is.
Remember when loads of web sites suddenly all started asking for your phone number to “increase the security of your account”? Sure, it can be used to text you codes to confirm something but it isn’t the only/main reason. People don’t change phone numbers anymore (in general). It’s your e-ID, all the companies that share data between themselves (connected back-office servers) had a hard time knowing what user was what, we all use different user-names. Once they have your phone number they can build a profile of your life across anything you’ve provided it to.
Will Facebook send a notification to Chase Bank that you’re ‘the wrong sort’? Will Chase now deactivate your account? Policies could be automated. Could Amazon purchases result in refusal of health care at a hospital? If you’re buying Trump gear maybe. All of these combinations are possible once they have your phone number.
So is the COVID shot some sort of “mark of the beast”? I don’t think so but you really can start to see how the prophecies, and how they’re worded, could easily be attributed to the things we’re seeing. This isn’t a national issue either - it’s global and in real-time (Biblical proportions!). We’ve never had this type of capability and I really believe the Bible is giving us a heads up that what is going on, enabled through our technology, will only lead to a global tyranny.
...the COVID passport is closer - I see in France people are being denied entry to GROCERY stores if they’re not vaccinated. That is evil.
Interesting. What factors drive that conclusion?
Jus remember that the Caesars didn’t know how to vaccinate, whether properly or not.
I thought the Rapture was supposed to occur before that.
Nero’s name was written 666. The rapture is the great deception. Looks like the End Times are here again.
