The commercial opens with a tempting vision and soaring instrumentals. A door swings wide to reveal a sunlit patio and a relaxed, smiling couple awaiting a meal. “How much have we missed going out with friends?” a voiceover asks. “With the green pass, doors simply open in front of you … We’re returning to life.” It’s an ad to promote Israel’s version of a vaccine passport, but it’s also catnip for anyone who’s been through a year in varying degrees of lockdown. Can we go back to normal life once we’ve been vaccinated? And if we can, what kind of proof should we need?
Although there are still many unknowns about vaccines, and many practical issues surrounding implementation, those considering vaccine passport programs include airlines, music venues, Japan, the UK, and the European Union.
Some proponents, including those on one side of a fierce debate in Thailand, have focused on ending quarantines for international travelers to stimulate the hard-hit tourism industry. Others imagine following Israel’s lead, creating a two-tiered system that allows vaccinated people to enjoy the benefits of a post-pandemic life while others wait for their shots. What is happening there gives us a glimpse of the promise—and of the difficulties such schemes face.

Israel is leading the way with this covid passport and their vaccination rate is well above the rest of the world. On the surface this appears to be a great accomplishment, but I am looking to an undercurrent that may have not been considered.
Help with Biblical context is desired as this is new territory for me. And it may be a nothing burger too. What I currently understand:
Name of the beast or the number of his name
Anti-Christ sits in the Temple (He/she would have to be a Jew in order to do this over Israel)
Buy, sell, or trade which ultimately controls all movement (contact tracing)
Israel is a secular nation in need of repentance. It is my understanding that it will be brought low before it does repent.
There's no "she." Antichrist is always referred to in the Bible as a man. I've also wondered if he may be Jewish, in part, because of this passage in Daniel 11:37: "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."
God is capitalized there, meaning the God of Israel and Christianity.
just sticking with the story and not caring about biblical context: as i suspected its about being vaccinated so screw that.
The “nor the desire of women” part makes me think he might be a poofter. Their kind does appear to be on the rise.
vaccination = antichrist
Sane take.
“...but it’s also catnip for anyone who’s been through a year in varying degrees of lockdown.”
Uh, no it isn’t. Not falling for the “Papers, please.” strategy.
Yes, I've also thought that, too.
Israel is Vac’ing their people at warp speed with mRNA. Israel may fall in a few months on it’s own sword!
Maybe your ping list has information I am looking for or debunks, rather than random comments
I think it will be a transvestite or whatever?
The Faulse Prophet will be Jewish. The word says he comes out of HaAretz which means Israel. The Beast comes up out of the SEA which means the nations. Yes, Israel will unfortunately play a role.
Whatever he is, he’s gonna be one VERY bad dude.
I’ve not seem Israel doing any worse than other countries with respect to covid.
They’ve already been brought low many times - 1948, 1971 were low points and they’ve risen back after that.
Come on - this country is smaller than most American states. How “low” can it go?
Dan 11:37 talks of Antiochus IV Epiphanes
No, it doesn’t. That man has not yet been revealed.
Verge of defeat by the Arab states would be pretty low.
