One general response here as there are quite some responses...
Edited several times as I went though al the responses...
- I said I "thought" (past tense) about pre-trib, so no need to lecture me on that
Please check out Looking for Truth if you want to know what my current view is.
You might say I think the rapture will be "post-tribulation & pre-wrath-of-God". I'm working on another document describing the idea from the point of view from John because that is one of the premises that my idea came from...
- I definitely don't believe that the vaccine is the mark of the beast, maybe I didn't put that clear enough. I myself took it, but I think this is something everybody has to choose for themselves and should never be forced upon anyone, also not in subtle ways like denying access etc when not vaccinated.
I do think it's common sense to keep distance, don't touch each other unneeded, wash your hand regularly, wear a mask if you can't keep distance. After all, Covid is basically just a very, very nasty flu virus (engineered perhaps?)
- The point I wanted to make is that events like this are preparing society for the end times, and this preparing has been happening ever since the French revolution, but the "advances" are coming in ever increasing larger leaps.
And also that society will provide the pressure to conform to the mainstream conviction.
- I don't think at this point we can really tell what the mark of the beast will be, there are good suggestions though like a bio chip in the forehead or in the right hand. I also think that taking the mark is a conscious decision, and will result in being lost (Rev 14:9-10)
- I think the rapture is a glorious thing to look forward to, in 1Thes 4:1-18 Paul tells the believers to encourage each other with this outlook...

Christ coming in the air will happen.. dead will go up. and as Paul said WE which remain will be caught up to meet them in the air to be with Christ forever. What no one can tell anyone is WHEN that will happen. So maybe always watching always ready would be wise. If right now God never goes against your will.. I would think maybe if one is not watching does not believe.. He will not go against your will and take you. Sorry what how we personal believe .. not what He goes with.
What we see going on all over the world "mens hearts shall fail them because of fear" we see again Gods word unfold before us. This all leads to someone popping up with all the answers. Just the shots.. fear some are not getting the shot.. fear to take the shot (those that take it just to take it.. those that don't take it just to not take it). Then lol the GLOBEL WARMING! More fear.

The 2nd coming of Christ will not be recognized, just as the Pharisees didn't recognize Christ when he first came.
Those who think there will be trumpets blaring and a dynamic show of power, will be misled by the anti-Christ.
Christ will come as humbly as he did 2000 years ago, and the world will not recognize him and most Christians won't either.

Based on how the Jews of Christ time believed the messiah would come.
It won't be any different this time. Christ will be a humble holy man and few will recognize him.
Mark 13:5-6 And Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many.
Mark 13:21-23 “And then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him; for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.”

You see that in all the sneering at the vaccine hesitant here in the USA, and in the growing government force being applied overseas (Australia, we see you). The world is ripe for "a powerful delusion".

The current one, and I'd go as far as all of them. The pope is a type of an antichrist (I know I am going to get ridiculed by some by saying this, but I don't care).

Watch John Macarthur's video on the pope and papacy, he explains it there far better as I ever could.

The mark involves the worship of the beast.
Revelation 13:11-12
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
Not sure if the jab makes one want to worship the beast?
I'm getting my second jab today. If I feel the desire to worship the beast after the jab, I will tell you.

Whether this is or is not the case, only time will tell, however this concept of "vaccine passports" for people to have the privileges to go out in certain places, and be allowed to do certain jobs seems to be more and more wide spread.
From a theoretical point of view, why is the concept of a "vaccine requirement" so inconceivable when it comes to the mark of the beast? Now whether it is current vaccines, or some future vaccine, that is subject to debate.
In theory, a vaccine or other health requirement does fit the criteria for the mark of the beast. Why is this concept so inconceivable?
Now let us look at what we are seeing today, more and more workers required to be "vaccinated" in order to do a job, businesses demanding customers being vaccinated in order to visit the premises and so on.
But this day and age, I have not seen anything like this when it comes to Covid 19 and vaccines. The mass advertising, more pressure to convince people to get vaccinated, incentives for people to get vaccinated has me asking alot of questions.
But what has me asking alot of questions, is when I came across a article (one can google this)where 150 hospital workers (give or take) were fired or resigned because said workers refused to take the covid vaccine. Why? Why did they rather be fired (or resigned) instead of getting the jab? There must be a very strong reason that people rather lose their jobs than take this jab.

I got the vaccine in the forehead, oh no, I got the mark without knowing it was the mark. Doom, doom, doom.
