Nearing Midnight: The COVID-19 Vaccine is Not the Mark; It’s the Prep to the Mark – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ A lot of people have asked me if they should get the COVID-19 vaccine because they fear it might have some connection to the Mark of the Beast. The “mark” is not at all something that could be accidentally taken. The people who take it in the tribulation hour are doing so to show their allegiance to the Antichrist. I have watched several medical videos on the COVID-19 vaccine, and I think it is generally safe to take. The messenger RNA gets into your cells and makes copies of proteins that become the spikes on the virus. Immune cells create antibodies that will attach to the spikes, preventing the virus from entering into a host cell. Once the messenger RNA has sounded the alarm, it quickly breaks apart. Even though this vaccine was developed in record time, pharmaceutical companies have managed to cut corners by ingeniously simplifying the process. Most of us have been injected with vaccines that are made of dead viruses. Sometimes, not all the viruses were killed, and people came down with an illness that they expected to avoid. The COVID-19 vaccine basically hands out wanted posters to our immune system and then vanishes. We have poured billions of dollars into the key vaccines, and there has been a massive amount of data and research on them. There are many drugs that have nowhere near the amount of testing that has taken place with these COVID-19 vaccines. So if you grow a third eye or hair on your tongue in 10 years, it’s more likely to be a side effect of a prescription drug than one of these vaccines. There have been several allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, but very few have had any lasting impact on peoples’ health. I understand that there are millions of people who don’t trust any vaccine, which probably includes a majority of my Rapture Ready audience. We all have to assess the risk and make our own decisions. I was going to get a flu shot, but when I read that the infection rate for this virus is way down, I decided not to get one. The greatest danger with the COVID-19 vaccine is it being used as a pretext for forced medical treatment. The government may soon be kicking down doors, hogtying people and injecting them without their consent. I had rather been part of the initial vaccine test group than see our governors act like military juntas. There is a massive problem with the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. State and federal agencies have absolutely no idea what they are doing. They promised that 20 million people would be vaccinated by the end of 2020, and only 2.5 million individuals received shots. Some people are waiting in lines up to 24 hours to get a vaccination. We knew it would take a small army to inoculate 300 million people, and that army was never raised. Everyone now injecting people with the vaccine should have spent the last few months teaching other people to administer the shots. If we’ve declared war on this virus, we should have firemen, national guard, school nurses, or heroin addicts on the firing line. Ok, I’m just kidding about the addicts, but they probably could do a better job. There are 12,000 of them in the city of Los Angles alone. The virus is killing 4,000 people a day, and it will likely surge in the coming days from the new strains that are more transmissible. When we finally get enough people vaccinated to end the pandemic, I think the government agency that houses immunization will become a massive part of the government. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had 10,000 employees in its last headcount. In the near future, it may have a half million. After the 911 attacks, Homeland Security ballooned up so much that they had to build a dozen large office complexes in Washington, D.C., to house all the new workers. COVID-19 has given political leaders a dangerous amount of power over people’s lives. It is just too Orwellian to have governors telling citizens where to shop, when they can leave their homes, and when it’s safe to go to church. If COVID-19 vanishes once we achieve herd immunity, a bad flu season a couple years down the road may trigger another lockdown. If the Antichrist had tried to roll out the mark of the beast implant today, we know it would have been a huge disaster. The tribulation would be over before everyone would have received the 666 mark. The COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been bumpy, but it will get progressively more effective with each passing day. In six months’ time, we could have a system that could administer an injection to every citizen within two months. What scares me the most about the mark is not that people will receive it with great regret, but rather, they will take it with little regard for the consequences. “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, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out unmixed into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb” (Revelation 14:9-10).
