That sounds like what the world wants to do with Christians .
It’s also a primary tenet of fascism.
If I told you in January of 2020 that every human on earth would be forced to wear a mask, that every school would be shut for a year, that businesses and restaurants would be forced to allow zero customers in, if you couldn’t attend sporting events, concerts, or movie theatres, if Churches were forcibly shut to worshipers, if people would have to stay 6 feet away from each other, if you couldn’t visit your dying grandma, and then not be allowed a decent funeral when she died, if all cruise ships were empty for a year, if you couldn’t visit most countries, if workplaces and businesses were allowed to constantly take your temperature, and the list goes on and on....
I’d bet my life you’d call me a “conspiracy theorist”. Well maybe the truth of the matter is WE have discernment and those that can’t see what’s going on are just dumb.
Consider that.

But none of the above restrictions mentioned remotely compare to the real persecution suffered by Christians in truly oppressive countries.
I am actually feeling a little nauseated by the comparison . So you can't go to Wal-Mart without a mask or vaccine? There is internet shopping. You are not being impriosned, martyred, having your own famioy, work colleagues or friends turn against you. Or being made to beg on the streets. Being raped. Just a few of the real horrors experienced by Christians under truly impressive regimes
please give your fears and worrie s to Jesus. Yes, keep being watchful, and if you don't feel comfortable taking the shot then don't . But don't be in fear. We will know when the real mark comes.
