    No one knows for sure. According to the scriptures, key markers of the beast includes:

    1. Not being able to buy or sell

    2. Something will happen to people who get the mark that will disqualify them.

    3. The COVID vaccine will definitely change your DNA.

    4. The pandemic was totally fabricated to bring in the vaccines

    5. They have something sinister planned (why include nano particles? why change people's DNA? Why include aborted babies and monkey cells?).

    6. This vaccine will never end. They will make you get it ever so often.

    7. Yes. I believe that the vaccine

    The Word and the Spirit - Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father.

    When the Church is destroyed, and the wicked no longer feel the condemnation from the preaching of the Word of God and the conviction of the Holy Spirit,

    That is when I believe they will send gifts to one another.

    And the bodies of the church and their testimony of Jesus Christ will lie in the streets for 3 1/2 years.

    And Jesus will return, and God will call us home, saying "Come up hither".



    I believe science and technology are part of the second Beast; and I believe there is a movement now to worship them.
  • Chris - In Reply on Genesis 41:29 - 5 years ago
    Okay. In reference to the 'end times', we have Revelation 13:17: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Also, in Revelation 14:9,10.

    If you're unfamiliar with this chapter 13, you may want to read it from the beginning. This account was part of a greater vision given to the Apostle John concerning the last days, including the Great Tribulation (i.e. when the Anger of God is poured upon this world). John saw a beast rising up from the sea, having seven heads & ten horns. The beast is understood to be the coming Anti-Christ & the heads being the confederation of nations supporting him & an extension of his evil presence. As his name indicates, he will come proclaiming to be the Messiah, but his character & work are completely different & opposed to that of Jesus Christ. The Anti-Christ will demand he be worshipped & for those who refuse to do so & refuse to receive his mark, will not be able to trade. And this means the demise of those who stay true to Christ, being destroyed in the flesh but saved & glorified in the spirit.

    And yes, we're certainly at the threshold of such events as we consider Israel & the countries that are opposed to its existence. There have always been problems in that region & at a time when the forces of evil violently come against Israel, there will come a 'saviour' to negotiate peace in the region, but one who will ultimately serve his own ends & control the governments of the world & the people. The Anti-Christ is Satan incarnate, but most, as they are now, are conditioned to believe lies & accept him as one sent from God.

    Thank you so much for this answer as this is the same thoughts I had. Head or hand. Vaccines are in the arm. I have friends that will refuse this vaccine because of their belief that we will be secretly implanted.

    Revelation 14:9

    (Read that Chapter to be fully informed

    The COVID vaccine will NOT be administered into our foreheads, or our hands.

    Years ago I prayed and the Lord said it would not be by trickery. If all means of accessing money is cut off; unless you receive a mark or implant...and worship anyone or anything other than God Almighty: then you can ask that question again.

    Remember, forehead or hand.

    God would not Lie.

    Satan is the Father of Lies.

  • Chris - In Reply on Revelation 13 - 5 years ago
    I don't believe that to be so. It will be a vaccine like any other that we have had in the past for protection against disease or virus. However, whether this vaccine will do what it is meant to do, given the speed at which it has to be manufactured & the short testing time, will be questionable.

    The mark of the beast, as shown in Revelation chapter 13, will be an identifier, marking out a person as being subject to the Anti-Christ & thus able to continue to live under his authority. By receiving that Mark, a person declares that he desires that the Anti-Christ be his god (even if it is only to survive on the Earth), rather than being a follower resolute in his heart that the Eternal God will only be his. Most people won't have a problem in following & doing what he requires, as they either have no regard for God or being religious, God is unknowable, therefore without a personal relationship with Him in their lives.

    What we should be careful on, are the various ways information is gathered on each one of us now & what we are required to have or do that will foster an easier transition to accepting such a Mark. Most things that come to us now have developed over time & according to man's ability & knowledge. And it's in that transitional time that we are also mentally conditioned to accept other developments, & to accept it as normal. In many cases, that's a good progress, e.g. we have slowly progressed from living in simple thatched roofed dwellings to state-of-the-art buildings with all the mod cons. Whereas, some call it progress when once homosexuality was considered a sin & a crime by govts., but now is openly acceptable. People have to be conditioned so as to accept something wrong or sinful, as being otherwise. And so it will be with the Mark, as its implementation will just be a couple of steps away from what we're already conditioned to accept. That's why our final authority in every aspect of our lives is the Word of God which is true & unchangeable.

    Is the vaccine for Covid 19 the mark of the beast?
  • Xora - In Reply on Revelation 13:15 - 5 years ago
    Ronnie Franklin why do you speak as if you are God.. you call people " my flock, and lost sheep"..you are not God, we are not your sheep.

    Also, ..what is the name of the Holy Spirit to you? You are concerning yourself with a worldly name, and not that which is important. Do you think God cares about more about Jesus's name then our complete surrender to Jesus? Do you think that God would cast aside any person with a pure heart for Jesus because he has not called him Yahshua? Look you call satan 'satin'.. and we all know satin is something nice and comfortable, and not at all fitting to call him.

    The language of the times has changed, but the meaning and personhood of who Jesus is has not, and that is what is important.
  • Chris - In Reply on Revelation 13 - 5 years ago
    All of the Book of the Revelation is the account that the Apostle John received in a vision (in the spirit, Rev 1:10) & to "write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter" (v19). So in Revelation 13:1, it was John who saw himself standing on the sea shore when he was also given the vision of the "beast rise up out of the sea" at that time.

    Jerry, I had a long response to give you, but it vanished - maybe divinely intended! So, could I direct you to also read Revelation chapter 17, which should help you grasp the meaning of the heads & horns. Please write back if you have further questions.

  • Nathan Unger - In Reply on Revelation 12 - 5 years ago
    Revelation 13:8 would cast great doubt on the notion that O.T. Saints were saved in a way other than we are and would cause me to re-examine my beliefs on why King David asked God to cleans him from secret faults.

    "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

    Again. Just saying.

    Blessings.
  • Patty Tozi on Revelation 13:3 - 5 years ago
    When you give your long years to your Father in Heaven. My writings l write what l know and feel. Been through many hard knocks in battles with the enemy of this world. Listened to others before the Blessings God bestowed on me. Looking back on my life, it was written with God's hands for me. So easy the road would of been. I never knew what l had long back with the Lord. Now l look back on how sad the world has always been. My jobs l helped others always without even knowing the gifts l had been given from the Lord. I could never be as others no matter how l tried. Now the strength of the spiritual sides of the natives, and God's words speaking to me day to day- l understand. To the point l can't be in this world of evilness without seeing the truth inside the person. When others hurt...l hurt. Can feel emotions. All my ups and downs came to give me answers to everything this world really is about. Jesus when He walked this Earth was so compassionate and caring no one could understand why He did for others before His self. I do now. I am the same. Always make a plan, but someone needy comes to me from the Lord, and here l go again-Giving up on my plan. If only you could see the Heavens above as l have in an after death. You could never grasp the Strength you have- to go after and can get.Now l walk one day at a time. Happy God walks close to me for protection. Whatever happens l stop and figure out what to do from God's eyes, never the world. For the world is out to destroy. The Light that shines in the Heavens and the angels that are ready for God's commands when His people are in need and have the Faith of believing no matter how bad it is, will see God's hands handling your situation for the best. Many have called me an angel in the past when l would show up at the time they needed me the most. I see in their cards now. Just did when and what l saw was to he done. And the Light others saw was God leading me to help them. I never knew till now life is Special!!!

    Reply to Claire

    Hello Claire. I can relate to you in your search for a church of Lord Jesus. I was born Catholic and married to a Catholic lady - had a successful married life. We have a son and daughter successful in their careers, married with kids. I was blessed as a Registered Nurse, entrepreneur and investor, financially well of, my wife was a school teacher I asked to quite her job just so we have time together. In 2008, she asked to retired and travel enjoy life. Unfortunately before leaving for our plan to travel, she was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer, had surgery and went to rounds of Chemotherapy but without success. I witnessed her slowly get weak and dying, was given 3 months to live. So I asked her if she believe what the doctor said, she said no only God knows. I said I also believe only God knows, so we refused any further treatment and have faith in God. God lead us to a homeopathic doctor in Mesa Arizona who is a believer in God. Our doctor changed our diet to Vegan, lots of fresh green veggies other ingredient of green juice and reading the Bible. On the 11th month of doing this, she was free of cancer, I was healed of all my diseases as well.

    However, her damaged immune system didn't protect her from pneumonia a few weeks later, the cancer came back, I b died 09/09/09. This all happened during the financial crisis, my real estate investment and stocks holdings suffered devastating loss.

    I told her we pray to God to get me first instead of her, but she rebuked me, said it's God's will and she is happy about it. Before she passed she gave 3 advices: get married, stop chasing money, instead serve God by helping others. After she passed, God confirmed this in my dream. I stopped chasing money. I asked God to give tolls to help me help others and God did. So I prayed day and night to God to give me a Christian wife and God did.

    Thank you so very much
  • Chris - In Reply on Revelation 13 - 5 years ago
    Alice, we can have a Church building or a Church tent or even a Church meeting under the trees as in some poor village areas, but whenever the Bible speaks of the Church, the word used in Greek is 'ekklesia'. And this word can only mean 'an assembly, a congregation or a whole body of believers' - it's never connected to a building.

    Maybe you can explain it in this way to your spouse: we can say 'we are going to Church', i.e. to a building, but that building will contain the 'real' Church = the believers who meet there.
  • Alice Smiley - In Reply on Revelation 13 - 5 years ago
    Thank you all so much for responding about the true body of Christ. I believe the same as you said. My spouse follows another who claimed the church was an actual property.

  • Earl Bowman - In Reply on Revelation 16 - 5 years ago
    Chris, may the Spirit grace you with the intent of my words, none to be taken as condemnation but edifying. The beast in revelation has so been misunderstood by the teaching of the carnal mind and the doctrines of man. May the Holy Spirit grace us with his words. Job 18:3 Wherefore are we (all mankind) counted as beasts (carnal minded), and reputed vile in your eyes. Psalms 49:20 (carnal) Man that is in honour (pride),and understandeth not (the Spirit), is like a beast that perish (goes to the grave). Psalms 73:22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee (Spirit of God). Proverbs 9:1-2 Wisdom (by the Spirit of God) hath builded her house (us), she hath hewn her seven pillars: (vs) 2 She (wisdom) hath killed her beast (carnal mind).... Ecclesiastes 3:18 I said in my heart (mind) concerning the estate of men, that (the Spirit of) God might manifest (grace) them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. II Peter 2:12 But these (carnal mind) as natural brute beast, made to be taken an destroyed, speak evil of the things they understand not.... Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beast...The only mammal (beast) that buys and sells is a man. Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom (hath killed her beast). Let him (wisdom) that hath understanding (of the Spirit) count the number of the beast: for it (the beast) is the number of a man (all mankind)....The angel told John not to seal the book. Revelation was just as relevant in Johns (To-day is the day) as it is (To-day is the day). The day (one day) of the Lord that was prophesied by the prophets has been going on now for 2000 years. The beast (all mankind) is judged in Christ ( Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire) and the beast was thrown alive into the lake of fire (Christ), All mankind will eventually be judged in Christ. Gods grace be upon us.
  • Rapture verses by Mishael - In Reply on Revelation 13 - 5 years ago
    The Rapture - the raising of the Church into heaven ( 1 Thessalonians 4:17): is the next event on the prophetic calendar. The Rapture is when Christ comes back and takes every Christian that is still on this earth and resurrects all of those who have died and takes them to heaven with Him. In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8, Paul expresses that the Lord's return will be like a thief in the night. No one knows the date or time. However, there are several signs of the End Times that we can all be aware of. Events such as earthquakes and diseases, war and dispute among nations, and persecution against Christians are all signs leading to the Rapture.

  • The Mark of the Beast Scriptures - In Reply on Revelation 13 - 5 years ago
    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. ((Antichrist is "killed"))

    Revelation 13:14

    And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

    Revelation 13:15

    And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should BE KILLED.

    Revelation 13:17

    And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Revelation 13:18

    Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

    Revevelation 14:9

    And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

    Revelation 14:11

    And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

    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.

    Comment by Mishael: if you're left behind and Dont take the mark; you won't be able to BUY anything period. You'll be hunted by servants of Antichrist and ordered to take the Mark or be beheaded.

    BUT If you gave your heart to Jesus, You Will Go To Heaven.

    If You TAKE the Mark there is no more chance to GO TO HEAVEN, EVER.

    See John 3. Get saved NOW.
