I can't get over te fear for the covid vaccine

curlycurl said:

Before I start, let me say I believe in Covid-19, I believe in vaccines and that they work and are good, and I'm also 99% sure that the covid vaccine is safe. But you know how ocd works, that 0,01% doubt is enough to drive you insane. My fear isn't so much that that the goverment will chip me, or that I will get sick, or even that it will kill me, because as long as I can be with Jesus I don't care if I die. My biggest fear is that it's the mark of the beast. And I've read what people said about why is isn't, but
Revelation 13:17,
so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Is so terrifyingly close to all the new covid passport things, which is making me really scared.
I want to take the vaccine because I want to protect those around me, and I also am looking for a new place to live and a place were I might get a room has a girl who has a troat stoma and I'm scared to give her covid if i'm not vaccinated (im not sure how at risk she is, she didnt tell me yet)
But I keep wondering how on the nose the mark of the beast would even be, because the enemy knows the bible and knows how he would have to do it sneakely.
I keep wondering if it's not beter just in case not to take the vaccine, and just go get tested weekly, and be carefull (i'm aready very carefull with trying not to get covid)
I am so scared that if I take the vaccine, I will separated from God forever. It's the biggest risk ever, even if I do think it's most likely safe.
And I can't seem to convince myself no matter how many things I read from people explaining why it isn't the mark.
I'm scared to bring this up with my therapist because I'm scared she'll judge me.
What do you guys think about this? Do any of ya'll have the same issue?

TBH I haven't done much research on the vaccine. I mean on how it could be the mark of the beast. So I probably can't really help you out there. Actually, I'm not that knowledgeable about the mark of the beast at all. I always just kind of assumed that it was a conscious choice to join sides. I did end up getting the vaccine, although I didn't care a whole lot about whether I got it or not. I wasn't really planning on getting it, but I was the caretaker for my elderly grandmother, so to protect her, I got it. Maybe it's one of those things where you have to look at both sides, try to take a balanced point of view, seek God and ask for His wisdom, and then make a decision as you feel He is leading you. Perhaps the key issue, knowing that you have OCD, is the issue of perfection. Does God understand that you don't have perfect knowledge of the issue, and that you're not trying to consciously make a decision against Him if you get the vaccine? Do you trust His grace enough to trust that He is enough even if you don't make a perfect decision? I'm not trying to influence you one way or the other on getting the vaccine; I know people from both the pro- and anti-vaccine camps, and I think each person has to make a decision for himself or herself. I'm just trying to address the OCD portion of it. This is, of course, just the kind of thing that OCD loves to much on!

It's not the mark of the beast. The vaccine is injected into the arm, not the hand and it is safe. I had fewer side effects than I had with a flu vaccine I once had. My spiritual life is the same as before I had the jab. I confess Lord Jesus, I pray, I praise and I thank Lord Jesus often. Apart from an appointment to get the booster, there is no sign that I've had the jab. An innocuous inoculation.

The mark of the beast will be obvious. The unvaccinated can still buy and sell. This is not possible during the reign of the second beast. The beast is the world ruler. Right now, there is no world ruler. We have yet to see the first beast, let alone the second who institutes the mark. Way too much has yet to happen. When it does come to pass, you will know. God will reveal it to His people.

I don't think it's the mark of the beast. But it is one of the most dangerous vaccines out there.
