As COVID-19 continues to circulate around the world, it becomes increasingly clear it poses a threat to more than just global health. Governments all over the world have used the crisis to expand their power and trample individual liberty. As 2021 nears its end, governments are increasingly dividing the world into two camps – the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
For example, on September 9th, President Biden held a press conference in which he announced a series of new vaccine mandates potentially impacting more than 100 million Americans. Biden is authoring rules to require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week. The ink hasn’t even dried yet on those executive orders, and already The Hill reports he’s mulling the idea of implementing vaccine requirements for all air travel.
Unfortunately, such COVID tyranny isn’t limited to the United States. In South Australia, the government is rolling out a new app that requires citizens to take a photo of themselves and report their location on demand within 15 minutes of authorities requesting it. The non-compliant will face a police investigation.
Recently, Australian MP Daniel Andrews vowed to “lock out” the unvaccinated when it comes to medical care and conducting commerce. “There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated,” Andrews stated. “We’re going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.”
In Italy, flying drones monitor the temperatures of beachgoers “to track COVID-19 and prevent health emergencies.” Israel, France, and countless other nations have set up “vaccine passport” systems. Under these systems, the unvaccinated are denied access to gyms, concerts, restaurants, and sporting events. In the United States, similar measures have been put in place in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Universities make the vaccine a requirement for enrollment, and in some cases, the unvaccinated are denied medical care. For example, one Florida doctor sent a letter to her patients telling them she will no longer treat the unvaccinated.
Throughout the world, society is singling out the unvaccinated for punishment. Those who refuse the COVID vaccines face potential loss of jobs, healthcare, freedom of movement, and liberty in general. Those who support vaccine mandates and vaccine passports want to ostracize the unvaccinated from society. They seek to apply maximum pressure to force the unvaccinated into compliance.
Does any of this sound eerily familiar? It should. The Book of Revelation describes a similar system whereby the people of the world are forced to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead. Those who refuse to comply will be unable to buy or sell. They’ll effectively be cut off from society.
Are COVID vaccines the mark of the beast written about in the Book of Revelation? No. The mark of the beast will involve a conscious decision to give one’s allegiance to the Antichrist. No one will accept it by mistake. Nevertheless, vaccine mandates and passports create a social system enabling the mark of the beast. If they are allowed to stand, they will create a mark of the beast system indistinguishable in impact from the true mark of the beast. In doing so, they’ll pave the way for the rise of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast as outlined in the Book of Revelation. To understand why, let’s take a closer look at the biblical description of the mark.
What is the Mark?
What does the Bible actually say about the mark of the beast? It says the mark will be an outward expression of a person’s allegiance to the Antichrist. As global dictator, he’ll require it, and the mark will appear on a person’s right hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16). What will it look like? We don’t know for sure.
It could be a tattoo, a microchip, or something else (maybe even a vaccine). But whatever it looks like, it won’t be concealed. It will be visible to everyone. We don’t know the exact form it will take, but it will be a number representing the Antichrist’s name. His number is 666 (Revelation 13:18).
Those who refuse the mark of the beast will be shut out of the global economy. They’ll be unable to buy or sell anything without it (Revelation 13:17). Some will even face beheading for their refusal to accept it (Revelation 20:4).
What Happens to Those Who Refuse the Mark?
After the Antichrist enters the Temple and declares himself God (2 Thessalonians 2:4), he’ll require everyone on earth to accept the mark (Revelation 13:16). Accepting the mark will be a pledge of allegiance to the Antichrist. Again, this will either be the number 666 or a name that adds up to 666 (Revelation 13:18). All who accept the mark will display it on their right hand or their forehead (Revelation 13:16). This will make it easy for society to identify them. Society will blacklist anyone who refuses the mark. Every buy/sell transaction will be linked to it. As a result, those without it will be unable to buy or sell anything (Revelation 13:17). This will put enormous social pressure on people to accept the mark.
Think about it. Imagine if you couldn’t buy or sell anything. How would you get food to survive? How would you get shelter, clothes, and the basic necessities of life? The pressure for most people will be too much to bear. They’ll give in and accept the mark. It’s likely only committed Christians or devoted members of a religion condemning such a practice will refuse the mark. In some cases, the consequences will be worse than economic. Some people will be martyred for their refusal to accept the mark (Revelation 20:4).
Enabling the Mark of the Beast System
While I don’t believe the current COVID vaccines are the actual mark of the beast, vaccine mandates and vaccine passports impose a social system identical to the one imposed by the mark of the beast. How? By blacklisting from society anyone who refuses to accept the vaccine. How many people have already lost their jobs? How many people are now under threat of losing their jobs? In some places, the unvaccinated aren’t allowed to enter concerts, sporting events, restaurants, or gyms. In some countries, they aren’t even allowed to enter grocery stores.
In pushing vaccine mandates and passports, the world is paving the way for the rise of the Antichrist and the implementation of the mark of the beast. Whether or not you accept a COVID vaccine is a personal choice. Feel free to take it or not take it. That’s up to you. I support your choice either way. But if you support coercive vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, you’re complicit in establishing the infrastructure and the precedent for the mark of the beast system.
To be clear – the current COVID vaccines are NOT the mark of the beast. If you’re vaccinated, there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re unvaccinated, there’s nothing wrong with that either. Whether or not you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated does nothing to establish the mark of the beast system. However, vaccine mandates and vaccine passports do. They create the very foundation for the mark of the beast system.
Every Christian should oppose vaccine mandates and vaccine passports because supporting them is the same as supporting the mark of the beast system. In practice, they’re one and the same. If you accept the idea the government has the rightful power to inject a substance into someone against their will (or pressure them to submit), then government power has no limit. Unfortunately, far too many people believe the government does hold this power. And their belief enables the mark of the beast system, creating a world ripe for the rise of the Antichrist.
This is yet another sign of the times in which we live. Israel is back in the land (Jeremiah 23:7-8). The Jewish people are back in Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28). The Gospel is being preached throughout the world (Matthew 24:14). And now we see the mark of the beast system embraced by much of the world. Jesus said when you see all these events take place, look up because He’s coming soon (Luke 21:28). So use what little time we have left to spread the Gospel because Jesus is coming!

The storage of vaccination record under the skin.
By selectively loading microparticles into microneedles, the patches deliver a pattern in the skin that is invisible to the naked eye but can be scanned with a smartphone that has the infrared filter removed. The patch can be customized to imprint different patterns that correspond to the type of vaccine delivered.
The researchers designed their dye to be delivered by a microneedle patch rather than a traditional syringe and needle. Such patches are now being developed to deliver vaccines for measles, rubella, and other diseases, and the researchers showed that their dye could be easily incorporated into these patches.
The research was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Koch Institute Support (core) Grant from the National Cancer Institute.
Rockefeller Foundation plus Gates through GAVI also want to create a digital ID called ID2020. https://id2020.org/alliance
Microsoft applied for a patent for: CRYPTOCURRENCY SYSTEM USING BODY ACTIVITY DATA https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2020060606A1/en
Human body activity associated with a task provided to a user may be used in a mining process of a cryptocurrency system. A server may provide a task to a device of a user which is communicatively coupled to the server. A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify if the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified.
Add those all together and tell me it's not the mark.
The only way a vaccine passport makes sense is to embed a microchip under the skin on the wrist.
Revelation 13
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
You can put a microchip anywhere. Dogs and cats are "chipped" in the skin on their necks.
I confess that I never gave much stock to the mark of the beast revelation as it was just too fantastic. Why would free peoples submit to having a mark, I knew too many people who just wouldn't. Things are so different today, it is entirely possible that some form of readable chip or code will be proposed to allow a person to be scanned even entering a retail shop. The level of acceptance of these mandates has certainly changed my perspective.
The whole vax passport thing and discrimination against the unvaxxed is simply mentally conditioning or priming people to readily accept the actual mark of the beast when the anti-christ implements it.
How does the author determine this?
Is Satan not cunning enough to beguile people into this mark by deception?
Did Eve truly believe she was deliberately rejecting God when she took the apple, or did she merely believe that she would not die?
This right here is where this vaccinated Christian who believes Jesus Christ is my King, my Lord and Savior draws the line.
My employer, a large global bank has mandated that all employees and contractors are fully vaccinated by Nov. 10th or face "disciplinary action." I interpret that as meaning "you're fired."
As I work in I.T. Leadership and know most of the 450+ FTE's and many of the Contractors who work for the bank, I also know (because we all talk about it) that roughly 60% of I.T. is unvaccinated -- and intends to stay that way.
Add to that, we have roughly 300-350 open I.T. positions we've been recruiting for, for more than a year, and our H.R. department cannot land qualified people to work for the bank as I.T. is a very hotly competitive market right now.
So come Nov. 10th, with roughly 60% of I.T. not vaccinated and 300-350 positions that we're trying to fill, what are they gonna do, fire all the un-vaccinated?
I'll post here exactly what I said to my CTO earlier this week: If the bank does that, I'm gone too. She asked if I was vaccinated and I replied yes, I am. She asked why I'd walk. I said simply "I'm not going to stay here and be one of the people who picks up the slack for the 60% of folks that are unvaccinated and the bank stupidly terminates. Those of us in I.T. have done that for the 300-350 positions we can't fill already. I'm not working any more 12 hour days, 5-6 days a week."
We were on a videoconference call with other Senior Managers in the bank when I said it. The look on her face was priceless. Other Senior Managers & Directors privately thanked me. I have a tendency to say what others think yet dare not say. I'm 59. My mouth is unfiltered at this point. IDGAF.
I don't believe for a second I'm alone in thinking this either.
The Global One’ World Citizen’ Concert was world wide this year.......nations hosted masses of people for these concerts in their country.....all sorts of Hollywood performers and speakers showed up........and this is exactly what will convince people to take the mark of the beast.
It will be presented in an attractive package people will buy into.
An angel from heaven warns men not to take the mark.
That's exactly what I believe. The "Vaccination passport" effort, in my opinion, is a dry run to establish a precedent and set everyone up for the Mark of The Beast. We will be told it must be done "for our own good."
Thought it was only mentioned in Revelations.
Eve was not in the Apple orchard section of Eden…. The party took place in the FIG grove. Why that matters… Christ commanded us to learn the parable of the ‘fig’ tree. And the beginning of the parable took place in the Garden of Eden. Who, what, where, when, why… Paul penned that some lacking the love of truth, are so willing to believe lies, God Himself would send strong delusions.
God told Adam and Eve what not to do. After Satan spoke to her, Eve believed Satan and took from the tree of life.
God has told all those who have read and heard Rev 13 not to take the mark of they beast and by doing so, worship the beast.
Everyone that is still here during the great tribulation will have to make that decision. The mark specifically refers to the right hand and forehead.
Some companies have started embedding chips in employees hands. Easiest way for them to enter is just wave their hand over the reader.
Hi.
This will put enormous social pressure on people to accept the mark...
Or start shooting.
