Maybe this doesn't need saying. But with Biden talking about "things you can and cannot do once vaccinated" it seems inevitable that some would draw the conclusion.

I won't wall o' text this, so here is the basic facts.

The book of Revelation in the Bible has a chronology to it. And while it may be confusing what happens when in certain places, diligent study shows there is a patter of succession to the events.

The specific event of the mark of the beast being given comes after certain other events that haven't happened yet. This can be said because those events, by reasonable interpretation, would be clearly viewable and understood had they already occurred.

The Bible has much to say about things to come. But the end times aren't here.

Yet.

Edit for clarity: I am not getting the vaccine. But my reason for not doing it is not at all based on the false idea that it's the mark of the beast. I won't advise anyone what they should or shouldn't do. I'm just clearing up some theology.

Flame responsibly

To me, I don't know man... this isn't something I want to be wrong about, you know? This vaccine shows many of the signs of the sign of the beast, with the exception of it actually showing something on your hand or head.

To me it is kind of like the thing where I don't want to be wrong.

I'm not getting the vaccine mostly because I am adverse to flu vaccines generally and with this vaccine being so new and untested, I am not comfortable taking it or having my daughter take it.

But I am not gonna lie -- I am also not taking it because I am not yet convinced it is NOT the mark of the beast. Call me crazy all you want, but I really really do NOT want to be wrong about that, so I'm happy to be called crazy til I am certain I am not giving away my salvation so I can fly on a plane.

Quick respobse:

Mark of the beast is in Rev 13 and is part of a vision that John sees of things coming, which vision begins in Rev 10.

Rev 9 sees the opening of the pit with locusts coming out, torment of 5 months, and other things. And there are other visible signs on the chapters preceeding 9.

So the elements of the vision of John that contain "mark of the beast" are after the events of 9. And consider that once the vision is over, events are given detailing things that happen to those who took the mark.

We aren't there. Yet.

I genuinely hope so! As much as I look forward to the second coming of the Lord, I am not eager for the end of the world!

That said, given the risk and reward ratio, there just doesn't seem to be a good reason other than "the government tells you to" to get this vaccine, at least for me right now.

I reserve the right to change my mind, especially as the vaccine is more thoroughly tested and approved for regular use, but for now -- there is just too much risk to take it and not enough reward to make it worthwhile to me.

The experimental injection is designed to kill you when you come in contact with a native corona virus. If you get both the injections . You WILL DIE within about 14 months when the mRNA has genetically modified your antibody response to attack your own systems. And you don’t think that’s the “MARK OF THE BEAST. Regardless of what you call it you will be just as dead.

I mean.... You might.

But that is wholly separate from the point I was making. 😉

The delay will give them plausible deniability. Pure ruthless psychopaths.

Revelation is chronological in some places, and some places not. Some chapters review previous chapters and go into other details or provide further information.

Yes I agree completely.

There are still events we can definitely state occur before others (without getting knee deep into it).

Hence the post. It can't possibly be mark of the beast because preceeding events have yet to occur.

The important thing about the mark is not that it may or may not be a literal mark, or something tangible, but whatever it is, it involves worship of the beast. That is how it should be identified, as it involves worship. Rev 14:9-10.

I agree and it coincides with a one world goverdnt and a singular visible head of that government. Which is another thing we haven't seen. Yet.

And there you have it.

As postulated by the eminent theological physicist EtRPatriot.

We're doomed, doomed I tell you!

(waling and gnashing of teeth sounds from the background, and the sounds of the lamentations of all theological physicists across the globe)

We're not worthy!

We're not worthy!

Have a nice day!
