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

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.
