Before I share some information from the Book of Revelation in the Holy Scriptures, let me first say that there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind when I say the COVID vaccines being injected into the arms of people all over the world, are NOT the “mark of the beast” that can be referenced in Revelation Chapter 13. (More on that shortly) The vaccine is what will enhance the “mark” (RFID chip) probably as an instrument to enhance communications between the ruling Antichrist (Second Beast) and those who have willingly (which includes giving in to pressure to take the mark) taken the mark.
However, when we examine Revelation Chapter 13, we learn about the “First Beast,” that is the one that “…rises up out of the sea.” We also learn of the Second Beast, “…coming up out of the earth…” The Second Beast “…exerciseth all the power of the First Beast,” (only in the presence of the First Beast.
What becomes apparent is that the Second Beast does the bidding of the First Beast. Reading in the 13th chapter we see that the Second Beast “causeth/makes/does/exerciseth” things to happen, while the First Beast is seemingly just “worshiped” by everyone. The Second Beast “causeth/makes/does/exerciseth,” “…the earth and them that dwell therein…” to worship the First Beast. He also “causeth,” ALL to “receive the mark of the Beast” in order that they would be able to buy and sell and everything associated with functioning in an earthly lifestyle so many people adore.
In addition to these, the Second Beast also, “exerciseth” all the power of the First Beast; he “doeth” great wonders, like making fire come down out of heaven; by deception from the powers displayed before the worshipers, he uses that power to have the people “make” an “image unto the (first) Beast”; the Second Beast “causeth” all those who would not worship the image of the (first) Beast to be killed.
These four words, causeth, makes, does, exerciseth, are all found in Chapter 13 and all come from the same Greek base word (G4160), which can be found in Strong’s Concordance. If you look this word/number up (just type “Strong’s 4160” into you search window), it doesn’t take but a minute to realize the Greek word, “poieo” poy-eh-o has very diverse meanings, but essentially, what is going on here is that the Second Beast has power and through his powers (from the First Beast who gets his power from Satan) he makes a lot of things happen…seemingly whether people want it to or not.
We know that the Second Beast has power to cause fire to come down from heaven and so we can surmise that he carries supernatural power (from Satan via the First Beast).
I’ve always been interested in “poieo” and just how the Beast “causeth” things to happen, like for people to willingly (or you will be killed) take the “Mark of the Beast” and to make an image unto the Beast and then worship it. Is this all done through supernatural powers? Maybe, but then again maybe not. Maybe a lot of this “causing” is accomplished through forms of threats, extortion, bribery, etc.
Consider! How many times have we been bribed with “stimulus” money? So far, how often are some people being threatened or being intimidated to get a vaccine? Who, so far, has been told they MUST get the vaccine or else lose their jobs, etc.? More on the way! Hang on!
So what lies ahead? Perhaps, threats like: If you want your next unemployment check, get a vaccine; if you want your next stimulus check, get a vaccine; if you want your next Social Security payment, get a vaccine; if you want to continue to receive medical payments through Medicare, get a vaccine. Now you use your own imagination and see what kind of power this current government has and then try to imagine the one in charge, or at least the one who “causeth” many things, and the supernatural power he will get from the Dragon, and what kind of strong arm tactics will be used without even having to wield any super stuff.
It’s going to get ugly and fast. I believe that true believers in the LORD God sending his only begotten Son to provide us a path back to our original habitations, won’t be left on this place that is owned and operated by Satan, to experience the real ugly, but many will be left behind. There is still time and even after the Saints have gone home, if you persevere to the end, there is eternal salvation with God, not with Satan.
