i haven't read much up to this point ...... But my way of looking at this is that you need to identify the beast correctly in order to identify the mark of the beast.
Show me who the beast is in the Bible. And how this beast is forcing everyone to be vaccinated and i'll believe that the vaccination is the mark of the beast.
I think the vaccination is a violation of our liberty and is not a healthy option but it is not a mark that makes us choose between God and the beast.
Post protestant Christians have NO IDEA of the identity of the beast. When presented with evidence of its identity they refuse to accept it, preferring instead to rely upon their own myths and conjecture rather than God's Word and the evidence of history.
That being said, violations of liberty aren't considered by any of this brain dead lot.
Consider that several months ago it was published in the news that EVERY cell phone would have an app installed on it that would monitor the user's location, who the user came in contact with and when. I checked my own phone and yes indeed - there it was. The default condition of the app I DID NOT voluntarily install was OFF. Was it really off? I'm not a tech geek, so I don't know.
Here's the kicker, though.
I got my shots. Two of the Pfizer version. When I got the first one I was instructed to install an app that contacted the CDC every day to report my physical condition. True enough, at the end of every day I got a text message to link to a questionnaire about my physical condition. NO, I did not suffer any ill effects of either shot despite the stories I've heard and the gullible folks here have posted. I did not grow a forked tail. I didn't die. Oddly though, the contact app that had been on my phone had been removed - again without my knowledge or action.
Vaccine notwithstanding, something is being installed on our phones whether we get the inoculation or not. Big Brother is watching and no mistake about that. Big Brother is the Washington DC system, not some foreign demigod or mythical creature.
I got my shots to protect myself, my family and everyone I come into contact with.
Nobody is going to die because of me. I cannot say the same for fools on this forum who think abstinence from the vaccine rather than loose talk is worthy of consideration. It's only the admission of guilt by a bunch of cowardly fools.
What's REALLY going on seems to be above and beyond all the foolish talk about shots and nobody seems to want to think about that at all.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
