- I got so many messages in the last few months,
should I take COVID vaccine?
By taking COVID vaccine, am I taking also the mark of the beast?
I'm going to answer that in just a minute.
Before we do that, I would like to welcome you to my YouTube channel
and invite you to subscribe to this channel.
Go ahead and like this video,
and drop a comment about what do you think about this topic?
Is the vaccine mark of the beast?
Are going to take one?
Have you taken one already?
Let's start this discussion but please be nice.
I know this is a heated topic,
and a lot of us have different opinions,
but please be nice in the comment below.
Before I answer the topic of the mark of the beast,
and what I think it is,
let's look at book of Revelation.
Book of Revelation 1:1 says the following,
that the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Book of Revelation is not about anti-Christ,
it's not about the mark of the beast,
it's not about even tribulation.
It's about Jesus Christ.
So first and foremost, it's about the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Neither dragon nor the beast are the stars of the show,
nor should they be our obsession and our focus.
Our focus is Jesus Christ.
Number two;
The seal of the Lamb is more important than the mark of the beast.
In Revelation 7:1-8,
as well as Revelation 14:1,
we see the seal of the Lamb being mentioned.
What's interesting that you will notice is that this seal,
is not given to God's servants until they become God's servants.
So it doesn't make them someone that belongs to God,
it only identifies them as people that belong to God
after they belong to God.
So that means that this seal is a way of identifying
those that are already loyal to God,
to protect them and to identify them.
It's a mark for people of the Lamb who already belong to the Lamb.
Why is that important to notice?
Because first it talks about the seal of the Lamb,
and then we see the devil is the copycat,
he creates his own mark.
Devil never creates, he always duplicates.
He's not a creator, he's an imitator.
He takes what God does and he replicates it.
And so we see the seal of the Lamb taking place,
and the servants of God because they are loyal to Him,
and then the devil replicates that and creates a mark of the beast.
Now, mark of the beast is a mark that is closely tied to the worship of the beast.
In Revelation 13:16-18, we see the mark of the beast is a mark of loyalty
and devotion to the beast.
It's most likely some kind of a device
or some kind of a thing that goes on your hand and on your forehead,
that helps you to make transactions,
it could be a chip,
it could be something else that will be put into your body or on your body
as a way to handle financial transactions and to live in your life on earth.
Now as some people think crypto is paving a way to that,
people used to think that credits cards because they have a chip or cellphones
are paving the way to that.
Honestly, a lot of things have chips today:
Computers have chips, phones have chips,
credit cards have chips, so many things have chips.
But I want you to notice,
what distinguishes mark of the beast is not the chip,
and it's not even the fact that it's put on the body,
it's what it represents.
It represents loyalty and devotion to the beast.
So this is not just some kind of a plastic card,
or a number that you use to move money or to buy things.
This is pledge allegiance, this is loyalty to the beast
and to his kingdom.
And so, no one is going to take mark of the beast on accident.
No one is going to take this in ignorance.
People will take this mark knowingly and willfully.
Now, with that said,
I don't believe that vaccine is a mark of the beast.
Yes it's put into our body,
yes it has a potential of all kind of craziness being put in there,
but nowhere people who take vaccine and I know few who took vaccine,
are we required to pledge our allegiance to Satan,
to pledge our allegiance to one world government,
or to pledge our allegiance to a beast, to a dragon or to a false prophet.
Now, we all may have different views on this vaccine.
As for me, I have had vaccines
and I had them to be put into my body before coming to the States,
it was one of the requirements.
And then when I traveled to Africa, I had to get a yellow fever shot
against the mosquito bites,
and it was required and I put that into my body as well.
Now it's now my choice,
I'm going to avoid getting a vaccine for COVID
because the recovery rate is so high
and plus I already had COVID and I overcame that.
It was just like a mild flu for me.
But if will be required that I have to get it to travel,
then I will consult some doctors and consult some other experts
and make the decision then.
Until then, I am not at liberty to tell you whether you should take it
or you shouldn't take it.
As a pastor and somebody who reads the Scriptures,
I'm here to tell you that it's not a mark of the beast
because you are not required to pledge your allegiance to Satan
and to his kingdom.
And whether you take it or not,
it's on your consciousness and it's your decision,
and I ask you that you do your study before you do that.
Christians, can I invite you to redirect our focus on what Jesus called us to do?
In the last days, He said, bad things will happen.
But He says one of the marks of the last days
is that gospel of the Kingdom will be preached.
This means our focus should not wait for the bad things to happen,
our focus is to preach the gospel.
We look forward to the coming of Jesus Christ.
We are not looking forward to anti-Christ,
we are not expecting the beast or the dragon,
we are expecting the Lamb.
We are people who already have the seal of the Lamb.
We don't have to be afraid of the mark of the beast.
And we will never take the mark of the beast,
because we already have the seal of the Lamb.
As Christians, we don't spread fear,
we spread hope because we are part of His Kingdom.
And His Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Nothing about the Kingdom of Jesus is panic, is fear,
and is some kind of a dread or phobia.
His Kingdom is full of life,
His Kingdom is full of light;
even if the world around us is dark,
even if the world around us is falling into deep darkness,
we are walking in the light.
And the last thing I want to encourage you,
please don't create a war with your brother and sister
on the grounds of the vaccine.
Now I understand this is a very sensitive topic
and it's a heated topic.
A lot of people in the military,
a lot of people in the United States,
are not going to take and they are opposing 100% the vaccine.
I know our government is pushing hard trying to popularize it,
and trying to make it seem like if you took a vaccine
you did something amazing with your life,
take a photo of you taking a vaccine,
and they are really stretching this and pushing this,
and whatever their agenda is for that.
But as Christians, stop hating your brother and sister
just because somebody took a vaccine.
I know people on my board,
people on our team who took a vaccine.
And I know those who will die before they take one.
They are opposed 150%.
And even what I've mentioned about the vaccine,
is already causing their blood to boil.
We have to come and live in peace as Christians
whether you take one or you don't.
Because it has nothing to do with our allegiance to Satan or to his kingdom.
It's a decision, your health decision,
and you should take that considering the consequences,
considering health professionals and considering your own consciousness.
Will you take the vaccine?
Have you taken the vaccine already?
What do you think about this?
Let's create a discussion on the video below.
