Copeland on the mark of the beast

In some places, people can't enter stores or restaurants to buy food, if they lack proof of vaccination.

Its not far from the mark of the beast being necessary to buy or sell things.

I don't think anyone would argue that?

I'd be taking the chip on the hand but NOT on the head.

Having a chip on your head will kill you if get exposed to powerful radio waves or EMP.....Gov't agents using devices that can generate lethal levels of focused radio beam can kill you without getting detected, without leaving any evidence!

Chip on the hand is a MAYBE but chip on the brain is a NO NO!!

Copeland added that it wasn’t the vaccine itself that was the mark of the beast.

“Not the vaccination,” he said. “I’m not taking the vaccination, but you can do what you wanna do.”

He didn’t elaborate, yet the implication was that it was the requirement to be vaccinated that was the mark of the beast.

Right-Wing Preacher Cooks Up The Most Bonkers Plea Yet For A Private Jet

He is right to a certain extent, coercion is the method of enforcing the mark of the beast but he spoke the truth in the first statement above.

Vaccination mandate is conditioning the folks for the implementation of the mark of the beast IMHO

Along with tracking your smart phone, facial recognition software, airport security, google, facebook and social media generally. Add cameras everywhere, in the streets and on the roads. People are willing to trade privacy for privileges. It's the "boiling frog" syndrome. Incremental undermining of freedoms until you wake up in a dictatorship.

Christians will know. The Lord will make it clear to us. We have yet to see the first beast. It's the second beast that institutes the mark. I'm no Copeland fan, but I'd take his remark at face value.

Not far, but it's not the mark. A great deal has to happen before the mark is revealed to the world.

All this talk of vaccine mandates today being the precursor to the mark of the beast, yet Polio vaccinations were mandated for children. I couldn't go to school without my vaccinations, neither could my children.

Did we forget our history?

Getting the vaccination will help you from not getting the covid, and staying alive until Jesus comes for the rapture/resurrection. It is a matter of survival from a pandemic threat.

Covid did make a global change in the world, something that no-one could have specifically predicted, as a precursor to what it will be somewhat like during the great tribulation.

Yet, there are many things though, specific in the bible that must take place before the mark, name, number of the beast is implemented - that will be distinguishable. Two of the most notable are the ten kings and the little horn in place, and then the Gog/Magog event.

The good thing for Christians is that Christians who are looking for Jesus will not be here when the mark, name, number of the beast is implemented.

Contrary to worry, when we see the things start to happen that will take place in the great tribulation - look up, our redemption draws near. Let us rest in Jesus during these days of uncertainty and concern.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

1Thessalonians5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

I think it's more or less that more freedoms have been taken away than ever before -flying, going to places such as the store, restaurants etc that makes people feel it's getting closer.

Oh brother. Thats the deception of Satan! People like you do NOT understand that the mark of the beast is really a spiritual in nature that even professed christians cannot "see" and not knowing that they actually already received it.

So you are one of the ones who advocate not getting vaccinated?

A lot of folks who have had Covid19 and recovered are refusing the vaccine.

Maybe. It could be a testing of the waters to evaluate how well people will comply. With the backlash we see happening worldwide, I think they will see that people are not receptive of the "vaccine passport" scenario so they will have to come up with something else. The thing is, there is too much resistance. Now we know, according to scripture, that something is going to happen to the world and an economic mandate is going to be enforced. It will be a do or die situation. But if you do, you die the second death. Christians are aware of this, so the test will fail as long as there are Christians in the world. This is just the way I see it.

Maybe I can see it, maybe... I see it as part of what needs to be done to control a pandemic.

Quote from the film "The Matrix"

The Matrix [Replace with MARK] is everywhere, it's all
around us, here even in this room.
You can see it out your window or
on your television. You feel it
when you go to work, or go to
church or pay your taxes. It is
the world that has been pulled
over your eyes to blind you from
the truth.

I'm not saying it's some kind of virtual world we live in. Maybe not but more of a concept, a counterfeit system, false beliefs to hide the truth.

It's also the Pharisee-like zeal with which everything must be done, now, today to save us from the…unvaccinated remnant.

Yeah, even that persecution of a remnant is there as a "type of".

Would there be a pandemic.

If the media didn't spam us with dozens of COVID stories every week?

The media overreaction blows everything out of proportion.

Through the reports coming through media and other sources. You reject them and I believe them as I worked on the frontlines and have seen what virus is capable of.

If you worked on the front lines, maybe you can explain how firing nurses, doctors and healthcare workers who refuse to conform to vaccine mandates makes sense in a "pandemic" that is a "major crisis".

Aren't we simply crippling our healthcare sector with these overbearing, heavy handed, practices? During what the media is labeling an emergency. Its almost like a parody that belongs on comedy central.
