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.

Remember the ten virgins parable, they were all coming to the wedding, thus they were followers of Jesus but 5 were lost.

So it will be at the end of time a lot of folks who call themselves Christians will be lost.

Matthew 7:12-14
King James Version

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Is the Mark of the Beast not an invisible Mark on a person's Spirit that makes one take eyes of G-d and or work in his Kingdom Now and go of on personal agendas due to fear of "Hell" away from life of love, compassion and forgiveness of each other so we live in joy everyday because we follow the law: LOVE GoD and LOVE your NEIGHBOUR (includes your ENEMY) as YOURSELF. (Please love yourself!)

The mark of the beast is all about worship which is used 22 times in the book of Revelations

Revelation 13:4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

Revelation 13:12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

This is who we should worship

Revelation 14:7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

I had my shingles shot this year. It prevents a very painful disease, like a blessing from heaven.

I got one too, when my sister came down with a case and said "Go get it!"

Yet I’m hesitant about this Covid vaccine, mainly because I am Covid-recovered (and back in December, prior to infection, they were not yet available to my age group). Also because the shingles vaccine kept me from getting shingles! Not the same with Covid.

Tell me one place that people can't go to a grocery store and buy food unless they are vaccinated. Thanks


Los Angeles May Require Vaccines To Enter Businesses Soon

Updated Aug 11, 2021

The Los Angeles City Council passed a motion Wednesday that would allow the city to begin drafting plans to require people to show they have been vaccinated against Covid-19 to enter businesses, following New York City’s lead, in an effort to curb growing coronavirus cases due to the delta variant.

Under the proposal, people in Los Angeles that are eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine will need to show proof they have gotten at least one shot to enter restaurants, bars, retail stores, fitness centers, spas, movie theaters and entertainment venues, according to the City Council’s press release.

If they are unable to provide proof, they would not be able to enter one of those businesses.

...

I think some european countries like france have already adopted these measures, which is why people are rioting in the streets. But the media isn't acknowledging it. And so sources can't be found.

HI AP

Go back in time(it is called History) to the protestant reformation and see what they taught on the first beast.
Yes, the Catholic organisation. There are nearly as many opinions as there are denominations. I do not believe that the beast has arisen yet. I would not be surprised if it is a merger of Catholicism, Islam and Judaism. There has been movement in that direction for many years. God knows. At the right time, so will we.

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?

Polio vaccinations were a far cry from GMO foods, SSRI anti depressants and modern pharmaceuticals.

If vaccines work why has the flu shot always been worthless.

How has the flu shot been worthless?

The flu shot is completely worthless as even if every person in the world took it.

It would do nothing to reduce infection or serious cases.

The flu shot is virtually identical to COVID vaccines in that regard.

Israel has one of the highest COVID vaccination rates in the world and only saw circumstances relating to COVID trend poorly as a result. There isn't a case in the entire world where any major country showed improvement from having a higher vaccination rate.

I disagree. I know many people who get the full shot every year who never get the flu. So it does work.

As a frontline worker and this will be considered anecdotal, but I have yet to get covid and I am in a high risk group as I have asthma. I have transported covid positive patients all throughout this pandemic and still haven't gotten covid. I attribute that to making sure patients are masked as well me being masked and I am fully vaccinated.

I know that others haven't been so lucky following all the same precautions, but I do know that they have worked for me.

Thankfully, I have changed jobs and will no longer be around covid patients. I'm still in the medical field though and there are people who have it who don't know, but all will be required to wear a mask into our facility.

Are you trying to get people killed?
This summer we got a report 98-99% of COVID deaths were occurring among unvaccinated people.

Polio vaccinations prevented, except in very rare cases, from getting the disease

Covid does not have a vaccine as the folks that have gotten the shot are still getting it in large numbers.

So lets not call it a "vaccine" and compare it to polio

Lets call it what it is, an experimental drug using humans as the alpha test group.

You do know that the CDC just recently change the definition of vaccine and vaccination do you wonder why they did that?

I do not believe their excuse they have an agenda

I support mask mandates. There are athletes in the UFC (mixed martial arts) that tested positive for COVID who didn't infect others in close proximity despite them basically bro hugging their homeys. The only protection they had was a mask and in some cases gloves.

AFAIK vaccines don't do anything to prevent infection.

There are some US states and foreign countries who have good COVID numbers despite rejecting vaccines and lockdowns for longer than 12 consecutive months.

People were promised that COVID vaccines would make things better. And that certainly doesn't seem to be happening anywhere.

In some cases, you are correct and in others, you are not. They were never 100% effective, no vaccine is.

AFAIK every COVID-19 vaccine on the market is intended to boost the immune system to reduce serious cases.

None are marketed as preventing infection from COVID-19.

What We Know about How Well COVID-19 Vaccines Are Working
COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of COVID-19 and its potentially severe complications. All COVID-19 vaccines currently authorized for use in the United States helped protect people against COVID-19, including severe illness, in clinical trial settings. So far, studies that have looked at how COVID-19 vaccines work in real-world conditions (vaccine effectiveness studies) have shown that these vaccines are working well. (Bolding is mine)

...

In theory they protect by boosting the immune system to prevent severe complications and severe illness.

I replied to show you that they also protect you from the virus, which you had said they aren't marketed as doing.

I have shown that you made an untrue statement.
