There are lots of information, speculations or debates about the vaccine making the rounds recently among people, including believers and pastors that it is the Mark of the Antichrist, and many are getting panicky and confused.

It is NOT the Mark just as the wearing of face mask isn't, or the use of antimalarial for malaria.

If you're not free in your conscience to take it, then don't; but don't make rules for others not to take it if they feel free to. The vaccine is supposed to be something to prevent the spread of the virus, as much as the use of face masks.

It is not yet the time of THE antichrist, he is most likely going be a major world ruler who is going to have power to compel people to worship him.

Here:
2Thess.2.3 - Don't be fooled by what they say. For that day (the day of Christ) WILL NOT COME until there is a great rebellion against God and the MAN OF LAWLESSNESS (the Antichrist himself) is revealed--the one who brings destruction.

We could as well say this period are the "Pre-Antichrist" periods. What we have now are the LITTLE little Antichrists: THE FALSE prophets/pastors/church founders, etc., who are currently working hard, consciously or subconsciously preparing the way for their MAIN MASTER, THE ANTICHRIST. One example is when we hear of oneness of all religions; coming together for what they call PEACE AND UNITY, and trying to make themselves and their DEEPLY deceived followers believe that they only worship THE SAME god through different means: the ecumenical movement in churches and christian MUSIC industry.

Like it says:
1Thess.5.3 - For when they say, "PEACE and SAFETY!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they SHALL NOT ESCAPE.

AND:

Matt.10.34 - Think not that I am come to send PEACE on earth: I came NOT to send PEACE, BUT a Sword.

Of course, they worship the SAME god: the Antichrist, who makes THEM terribly rich by deceiving their great crowd of followers who don't love the truth.

Jesus is still the ONLY way to God: He said, I am "THE" Way", not "A Way or one of the ways to God"

John.14.6 - Jesus told him, "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. NO ONE can come to the Father EXCEPT through Me.

So, we should believe these great preachers, pastors and church founders of our day at our own risk.

Let's have a closer look; my comments in parentheses:

1John.2.18 - Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come (THE Antichrist himself), even now are there MANY Antichrists (FALSE pastors/church founders); whereby we know that it is the LAST TIME (last days).

So, what is the Mark of the Beast?

Definitely NOT the vaccine, and if it works well, then I believe its can't be from the destroyer, the devil. The Mark of the Beast is an human number:

Rev.13.18 - Wisdom is needed to understand this. Let the one who has understanding solve the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.

This number is symbolic (having special meaning); man was created on the 6th day; 666 means Man trying to become God (The Trinity).

2Thess.2.4 - (the Antichrist) He will exalt himself and defy every god there is and tear down every object of adoration and worship. He will POSITION HIMSELF in the temple of God, claiming that he HIMSELF is God.

2Thess.2.5 - Don't you remember that I told you this when I was with you?

Therefore, it is the spirit of the Antichrist that makes great preachers rule people and behave like gods to them today.

But WHERE will the Mark BE?

Rev.13.16 - He required everyone--great and small, rich and poor, slave and free--to be given a mark on the RIGHT HAND "OR" on the FOREHEAD.

Well, we don't know exactly how the Mark or name or sign of the Antichrist will be when it's time. But "symbolically", what is the sign or mark of the Antichrist today?

According to the passage, the devil gives people the Choice to either have it on the RIGHT HAND (means secretly), OR on the FOREHEAD (means openly).

Hence, the devil says: "Be a SECRET FOLLOWER OF ME (on your right hand), or Be a OPEN FOLLOWER OF ME (on your forehead).

Right, we all know the OPEN followers of the devil today: satanists, atheists, idol worshipers, etc. Sadly, TOO MANY of us, church goers or professing christians are SECRET followers of the devil. We look and dress holy, but have somethings of the devil inside.

Many brothers and sisters live in serious or causal sexual sins, pornography, anger, greed or love of money, selfishness and pride SECRETLY, but still look pious in church or in public, and won't REPENT.

BROTHER or SISTER, you already have the Mark of the Beast on your right hand (in a sense) already, forget about the vaccine. Unless you repent now, and you mean it with all your heart!

However, Jesus doesn't give his followers the option to have his mark of righteousness on the right hand, but on the FOREHEAD. It means we can't be secret followers of Jesus, but OPEN FOLLOWERS of him only.

We've got to wake up, humble ourselves and seek grace to OBEY Jesus, and escape the corruption of the still to come anti-christ, whose spirit is seriously at work even in Christendom today.

2Thess.2.9 - This evil man (the Antichrist) will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.

2Thess.2.7 - For this lawlessness (of the Antichrist) is already at work secretly, and it will remain SECRET until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way.

Matt.24.11 - And many false prophets will appear and will lead many people astray.

Matt.24.12 - Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of MANY will grow cold.

Matt.24.13 - But those who ENDURE TO THE END WILL BE SAVED.

Matt.24.25 - See, I have WARNED you.

God bless

Matt.24.11 - Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

I wish you well...as you take your vaccine.

Hmm... Well, not necessarily speaking for or against the vaccine, just trying to clarify the wrong ideas in connection to the Mark...

God bless.
