Looking at the replies I have been given, many here seem to think that I am interpreting the scriptures incorrectly.
So, now I am looking for guidance from more knowledgeable Christians here.
In your honest opinions, do you deem it fine to get a vaccine microchip implanted into their right hand between the thumb and forefinger that would leave a permanent disfigurement mark, with a blockchain embedded "wallet" to allow us to pay for things in an entirely new currency that we will be soon restricted to only use, issued to us by a charismatic leader that is proved to have lied and been deceitful multiple times of who has already publically proclaimed to be "king of israel" and "the second coming of Christ" has been a leader for 38 months and would likely implement the microchipping in the coming months.
I don't know what a "vaccine microchip" is, vaccines don't require microchipping. I also don't consider this to be a worry worth having, I see no reason to be worried that I would have to be microchipped or be forced to use crypto-currency. These are unfounded concerns.
But, in a purely hypothetical scenario, no, I wouldn't be okay with the government making me, or anyone else, get a microchip anywhere on my body. But it has nothing to do with "the end times", it is purely a matter of individual liberty.
As far as the current resident of the White House goes, I am hopeful that come the November elections he'll be ousted and replaced by a much more competent person--and frankly, just about anyone would be more competent and a better fit for the job than Donald Trump. But no, I don't think Donald Trump is the Antichrist, not in the "end of the world big bad evil guy" sense. I think Donald Trump is certainly an antithesis to everything Jesus said and did and what Christianity stands for; but that's nothing new.
Honestly asking, is the general consensus that people here deem this acceptable? Are you guys also going to be taking on this microchip when it comes in the very near future as a vaccine for coronavirus? I need to know if other Christians are going to be accepting this microchip too!
Am I coinciding too many real life events with the scriptures?, and should I look to the scriptures more spiritually as opposed to reality, because to me the line is beginning to blur between reality and spiritually in our current times.
Vaccines don't use microchipping. So, again, I don't see any concern or reason for concern about this. I am in prayer that a vaccine will be developed sooner than later, and that it will be available to the public, especially the most vulnerable, as soon as possible.
COVID-19 is not the end of the world. We've experienced far worse in history than this, by many times over. A century ago the Spanish Flu infected over a quarter of the world's population, and killed 50 million people. This isn't anywhere near that. The Black Death wiped out 50% of Europe. European contact with the New World resulted in the death of as much as 90% of the Native Americans. The world has endured crises far worse, diseases far more virulent and deadly, and has come through on the other side.
This too will pass.
