So it’s not the mark?,im scared that if it’s a trial,I’ll fall victim to it.Please does God still love me and it’s not the mark?
I will help you understand who the beast is, and what his mark is. The bible tells of his coming in many places.
Firstly there will be a man who claims to be God, and he will perform many miracles in the sight of the Nations, and he will say they must worship him. He will require that his followers have a mark in their right hand or forehead to prove allegiance to him as a god. Anyone who refuses the mark will be put to death.
The COVID vaccine is just a vaccine, it has nothing to do with the beast “man god”, and is not the mark of his name. This event will be see by all, the beast will be in the temple of God performing all kinds of miracles. Anyone who tells you COVID vaccine is the mark of the beast is sadly under a delusion. For the beast has not even been manifested.
As for the statement that a person made that it is a precursor to the beast, leading up to it. Even the time from the disciples was a precursor to the beast. The bible saying:
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work
The spirit of antichrist is always working in the earth, and it’s peoples, but it does not mean that COVID is even vaguely related to the beast arriving. There may be anti-God elements to some policy, or ideas, but it does not again mean the beast is coming, there are ALWAYS anti-Christ spirits in the earth. Meaning thoughts and ideas that are against Christ.
2Th 2:3-4 Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction, Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.
Dan 11:36-37 This king will do as he pleases. He will proudly claim to be greater than any god and will insult the only true God. Indeed, he will be successful until God is no longer angry with his people. This king will reject the gods his ancestors worshiped and the god preferred by women. In fact, he will put himself above all gods
Mat 24:15 Someday you will see that "Horrible Thing" in the holy place, just as the prophet Daniel said. Everyone who reads this must try to understand!
Rev 13:6-8 The beast cursed God, and it cursed the name of God. It even cursed the place where God lives, as well as everyone who lives in heaven with God. It was allowed to fight against God's people and defeat them. It was also given authority over the people of every tribe, nation, language, and race. The beast was worshiped by everyone whose name wasn't written before the time of creation in the book of the Lamb who was killed.
Rev 13:15-18 It was allowed to put breath into the idol, so that it could speak. Everyone who refused to worship the idol of the beast was put to death. All people were forced to put a mark on their right hand or forehead. Whether they were powerful or weak, rich or poor, free people or slaves, they all had to have this mark, or else they could not buy or sell anything. This mark stood for the name of the beast and for the number of its name. You need wisdom to understand the number of the beast! But if you are smart enough, you can figure this out. Its number is six hundred sixty-six, and it stands for a person.
Rev 14:9-10 Finally, a third angel came and shouted: Here is what will happen if you worship the beast and the idol and have the mark of the beast on your hand or forehead. You will have to drink the wine that God gives to everyone who makes him angry.
