That's not quite the kind of exclusion from commerce the Bible talks about. I do believe the Mark of the Beast refers to future events, but it also has roots in the past.

A certain Caesar (perhaps Augustus?) made it illegal to come into port and do trade without giving him a tribute and acknowledging him as God.

Yes, you personally had to worship him if you wanted to trade or buy or sell anything. And his reach covered the whole known world.

Sounds like my (soon to be ex) church, who, after 8 months of grabbing ankles for a governor who ordered total church closures; then magnanimously permitted faggoty, humiliating, 1/4-capacity mask conventions; then banned singing... and the church leaders are still claiming that when “government really infringes on our freedom to worship, we’ll stand up then.”

Are you fucking kidding me? This was a strong, Bible-based church, cucked under in an instant!

Now I don’t know for sure if this shady chemical cocktail injected directly into our bloodstream, sold with demonicly-cultivated fear and threats of exclusion from commerce and travel, is the official Mark of the Beast, or just a warm-up trick, but if this ain’t it, when it does come, don’t expect it to be marketed straight and honest as “Mark of the Beast, brought to you by Satan: Get yourself some if you like. It’s soul-selling evil, and completely optional.”

Nope. It will come exactly like this vaccine, with a fear-soaked carrot and a power-covered stick, pushing something that all the (hell-bound) bien pensants tell you is just a super good, totally not sus, thing. Because why would the devil lie, you know? It’s not like the devil loves lies and destruction or anything.

As soon as they canceled Easter I immediately found a church that was breaking the rules. It ain’t perfect but going feels like a weekly protest to gather and sing. Plus I can openly speculate about coof, the NWO, China etc.
