Even as I write this article and give it the title, I know, and any student of Bible Prophecy likely knows, that there are way more than 50 reasons why the Covid-19 vaccine, or should I say … the jab, jab, jab … jab, is not the mark of the beast.
When one considers all the events that must actually achieve fulfillment within Daniel’s 70th-week before the Mark event is officially introduced, a student of Bible Prophecy understands 50 reasons is really just a smidgen of what will actually transpire before the Mark becomes an official reality.
But when I recall my overall goal in writing this article, I’m not so bothered by the scores of other reasons that I don’t address. My goal is not to delineate every possible reason but to merely give sight that our Most High God, the Lord Jesus, has a plan. His plan includes numerous carefully laid out mile markers on the road to His second coming and literal return to earth.
My primary goal in writing this article is to give church-age believers confidence that this Mark thing is not going to sneak up on you and catch you off-guard. You won’t wake up one morning to have it dawn on you that you have inadvertently accepted or received the Mark.
Church-age believers … just relax, don’t panic, don’t become loaded down with anxiety. As we see prophetic events trending, progressing, and building toward final fulfillment, you must remain sober-minded and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Nothing can officially happen before the Lord Jesus’ prescribed timing for the event. And at the same time, He reveals His plan to us in scripture. He wants us to know His plan. He is not trying to trick us or pull the wool over our eyes. He desires for us to understand. Those that take our Most High God, the Lord Jesus, seriously and who take His written word seriously will see the Mark thing coming well in advance of its official arrival.
If in the divine providential timing of our Lord Jesus, our Most High God, He allows us to see and experience some of these 50 reasons take place, it serves as a flashing red warning light that the actual Mark thing is incrementally drawing closer to its final total fulfillment.
If you are an unbeliever in the Most High God, the Lord Jesus, then you should be very afraid.
While what we see today related to Covid-19 and the rejection of the so-called Covid vaccine, i.e., some people being blocked from some limited forms of buying, selling, and participation in public activities, it is not officially the mark of the beast and the heavy-handed tyranny that accompanies it. However, these unfolding events do indicate and portend this Mark thing; this very real future event with all its nasty implications is coming faster than a speeding locomotive. And you, my unbelieving friend, are nowhere near ready to escape this Mark thing that is barreling down the tracks right at you. Yep!
You should be afraid … very afraid!
In this article, I’ll lay out: the 50 reasons, give a short summary, then briefly consider what IS going on and what it portends. So here we go.

In Summary: Why the Covid-19 Vaccine is not the Mark of the Beast:
- The Rapture has not yet happened.
- The Restrainer is not yet removed from His restraining role.
- 70th week of Daniel, i.e., the seven-year tribulation period, has not yet officially begun.
- The man of sin, the anti-Christ / aka the beast, has not yet officially appeared on the scene.
What I Believe Is Happening Right Now in Real-Time:
Our Most High God, the Lord Jesus, is very busy with a whole lot of stage-setting events. The Lord Jesus is at work, causing events to trend and progress toward fulfillment. He is gathering the elements and the players and coalescing them into the soon-to-come perfect last days’ storm.
Recall that we have learned: the shadow of the thing falls upon us and strikes us long before the thing that causes the shadow arrives on the scene. That shadow is now upon us, and its menace continually grows.
When we consider that we are seeing more and more events in our current day building that will see their total official fulfillment within that seven-year period of tribulation known as Daniel’s 70th week, then we know that the Mark thing is close, but not yet officially here.
Recall Daniel’s 70-weeks prophecy. In that plan for the ages, we see a very specific timing, a very specific timeline. That first grouping of 7 weeks then 62 weeks happened exactly as the Most High God laid it out. The final 70th week will happen exactly as the Most High God has specified.
Consider also King Nebuchadnezzar’s poly-metallic image; it overlays perfectly with the 70-weeks prophecy. And in that poly-metallic image, we also see a very specific timeline laid out.
The Most High God’s timing is perfect. We can know it without a doubt. He wants us to know it. His timing is never too early or never too late. His timing never fails. He is always right on time.
People Are Being Conditioned for What Is Coming:
There is no doubt every one of us has been changed to some degree in these past two years as we have responded and reacted to this covid-19 plandemic and its fallout.
Some were impacted a lot, and some maybe not so much, but psychologically we were all changed directly or indirectly. We altered our normal patterns to accommodate the constant stream of lies and deception fed to us. Directly or indirectly, we were all caused or forced to alter ourselves in some measure.
That we all altered our behaviors or attitudes is of significant note and bodes great ill and woe for humankind’s future.
For the foreseeable future, deceptive forces in our world will continue to condition and manipulate us in multiple ways:
- Psychologically
- Intellectually
- Emotionally
- Socially
- Physically
- And Spiritually.
Every day, we are hammered by the lies and deceptions that swirl around us. A good “global” citizen will comply. A good global citizen won’t question or push back against the authorities. A good citizen won’t hold a different opinion or idea than that of the authorities. A good citizen will believe and accept that his “benevolent leaders” have his best interest in mind. A good global citizen compliantly receives the jab, jab, jab … jab and any required future jabs on-demand. A good global citizen proudly carries and presents his vaccine passport as proof of his surrendered compliance.
A good citizen is tolerant and understands that some of his fellow citizens are made “that” way. A good citizen understands and accepts that there are 52+ genders. A good citizen always walks in unity and harmony with his fellow citizens. A good citizen won’t create division among his fellow citizens. A good citizen is always testing to know if and when he should isolate himself from other citizens. A good citizen is quick to wear the “I’m positive” label. A good global citizen knows that “wellness” detention camp will help him see, understand, and correct the error of his inconsiderate ways.
A good global citizen recognizes his privilege then takes action to make reparations to those who lack privilege. A good citizen must reduce his carbon footprint. A good citizen must exercise the ideals of green-living to show unfailing love and support of mother earth. A good citizen won’t expect more than he needs, regardless of how hard or how much or how little he works. A good citizen is tolerant of others and wishes equal outcomes for others regardless of the actions of others. A good global citizen won’t believe his faith or his God is morally superior to another’s faith or god.
It has become an endless stream of brainwashing and psychological warfare riding on the back of the vectors called Covid-19 plandemic, which is an exaggerated lie, and Global Climate Change is another exaggerated lie.
The people of the world are being hypnotized via mass psychosis. And if one forsakes, or abandons, or fails to remain anchored to the unfailing truth of God’s word, then you too will become increasingly drowsy.
We’ve corporately and individually become like Igor capitulating to Count Dracula: Yes, master, I must obey.
Humankind is being corralled little by little. Like a herd of cattle, the people of the world are being driven and pushed to the point of being totally surrendered to the global elite, the power-brokers, and the evil disobedient, defiant, and rebellious supernatural powers that control these elite.
The people of the world, generally speaking, are willingly surrendering control of their lives, liberties, and freedoms to those global leaders and global organizations that tell us they know better how we should all live our lives.
Wicked people with an evil agenda that are motivated, inspired, and energized by fallen supernatural powers are gladly taking the control that people are giving up. Their master requires it. And these wicked leaders are ready and willing to do so.
It’s classic Hegelian Dialectic, a socialist Marxist concept: They create the problem or crisis; they allow us to stew in it for a while. Then they tell us how bad and untenable the current situation is. They then point us to the pie-in-the-sky utopian desired condition, as they envision it. And finally, they tell us how we should follow their plan to achieve and arrive at utopia, as they say.
They won’t let a crisis go to waste. Klaus Schwab, the publicly presented mastermind of this mass deception, tells us we have a limited window of fleeting opportunity to build back better. “Come on, man! Get with it!”
Like lemmings, we all excitedly shout out the refrain: “Oh goody, I want to see the cliff, too!”
It does not end well for humankind. It will go from bad to worse to totally catastrophic.
There Is Hope:
Those of us hidden in the Lord Jesus Christ have the promise from Him, because He is our Blessed Hope, that He will evacuate His church-age believers from this world in the Rapture long before the Mark thing that already casts its shadow upon us officially arrives. We will likely experience some rocky times while we wait. That shadow may strike us mighty hard. But we ultimately are spared the Most High God’s wrath.
As I mentioned early, believers should not panic or become anxious. Our Lord Jesus is at work. In spite of all the ugly things we see happening in the world and maybe even experience, the Lord Jesus has everything fully in His hand and under His control. The pieces are all falling into place.
All that we see happening, to include the exponential increase of incredible wickedness, lawless leaders, the Great Reset, the Great Narrative, and the rise of godless pagan globalism, all serve the Most High God’s plan and purposes.
The Lord Jesus is at work shaping, molding, fashioning, crafting events that will bring Him glory, honor, and praise.
He is setting the stage. He is choreographing and orchestrating world events, circumstances, and environments that will ensure the maximum number of people will call upon His name before the Rapture and also call upon His name and trust Him during Daniel’s 70th week, i.e., the seven-year tribulation period.
Our Lord Jesus does not wish that any should perish but that all will come to repentance. Calling upon His name and trusting Him by faith now is smarter and preferred over doing this later.
Unfortunately, a large majority of people need a heavy hand of rebuke to incentivize them to call upon the Lord Jesus in faith. Here’s praying and hoping they do call upon Him before it’s too late. Maranatha!
