: This article is from last August, before the vaccine came out,
: but it continues to be relevant. Toward the end of the
: article, it summarizes some detailed points about why the
: COVID vaccine is NOT the mark of the beast:
: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: 4 Reasons COVID-19 Vaccination Is Not the Mark of the Beast

: Here are some things to consider: 1. Deliberate
: identifying: The Mark in Revelation chapter 13
: symbolizes deliberate identification with the Beast. And as
: such, identifying with Satan’s kingdom is what will keep
: you out of heaven—not getting vaccinated as intimated by
: West. 2. Intentional rejection: Taking on the Mark
: of the Beast is an intentional rejection of the Lord Jesus
: Christ as your personal Lord and Savior during the
: seven-year period of Tribulation. 3. Loyalty and
: devotion: Contrary to some of the more fear-inducing
: theories that have in the past gained steam in some
: evangelical circles, the Mark cannot be accidentally taken.
: It is closely tied to the worship of the Beast ( Revelation
: 13:12 , Revelation 19:20 , Revelation 20:4 ), and the
: Mark represents loyalty and devotion to the Beast. 4.
: Vaccination isn’t worship: COVID-19 infection is out of
: our control. We do not choose whether or not we get the
: virus. We can choose how much we expose others to it
: through our behavior. So choosing the vaccine is NOT
: choosing to identify with and worship anything at all.
: One more time, choosing the COVID-19 vaccine is NOT
: choosing to take the Mark of the Beast. Period.
