I'm immuno compromised by the 2 cancer drugs I take for RA. All my doctors told me to get vaxed. I was terrified because of all the lying anti-vax propaganda I was exposed to at places like here.
My lungs are very damaged from asthma and pneumonias. I also have Rheumatoid Lung Disease, and never smoked. I can barely recover from a cold, let alone pneumonia or COVID. I had no reaction at all to the shots, it hurt less than my biologic. The vaccine leaves your system in 7 days, nothing to kill you in 5 years.
Because my health is so bad. I pushed myself to get doubled vaxed. I got Pfizer, which is FDA approved. I prayed a lot, and God reassured me it was his will to do it. I have felt healthier ever since I got it.
As for the vaccine being the Mark of the Beast, that is bad exegetically, bad hermeneutics, because it is not what the Bible says, ever. Too many people think their wild fantasies are the Holy Spirit speaking. The Spirit will never give out information that is not found in Scripture!
"And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” Rev. 14:11
There is no mention of what the Mark of the Beast in this passage, or any of the 4 others in Rev. Not one word. It could be anything. It is not profitable to speculate. As Christians, we only know not to take the Mark, regardless of hardships. It may also be a metaphor of parable and stand for something very different.
We also know we are to walk with Jesus daily. That means reading our Bibles, praying, meditating on the Word, and sharing the gospel with the lost. If we are doing these things, God will be with us. And keep us safe. That doesn't mean safe - not facing any difficulties. It means safe - trusting God through the good and the bad.
People here really need to learn how to interpret the Bible properly. That means context- who it was written to, when it was written, the culture of these ancient people, understanding the differences between our culture and theirs. It means physical context. What does the passage around the verse say? What is the chapter about? What themes occur in the book? Always keeping God in mind, and how Jesus fits into the themes and genre. Context also means not making up something, not found in the Bible, like "The Mark of the Beast is 2021 vaccines for COVID." Besides being utterly ridiculous, it is actually date setting. Vaccines have only been given out in 2021 & a few in late 2020. If vaccines are the Mark of the Beast, then the date is set for the return of Jesus. So, if Jesus does not return in the next 4 months that was a false prophecy. Even if Jesus does return, the likelihood the vaccine is the Mark is slim and none. Making it a false prophecy, too!
People have to learn that taking a wild stab in the dark is NOT prophecy. There has been too much of that going on in the 20th & 21st centuries.
Seek God with all your heart. God is in control, and he will let us know everything we need to know about the Second Coming of Christ, when we need to know!
