The Mark of the COVID

I'm writing this thread as documentation. I see no way to change what is happening, but I think it is important for those who wish to understand what is happening to our world to be able to do so. I am quite aware already that there are many here who will consider every word I write down as pure poppycock; so be it. This is not the Political Mud Pit, so if someone wishes to condemn others for their beliefs, please do so in a civil manner worthy of your post.

Some time back I was engaged in a thread where I made the following predictions:

• A vaccine against the Chinese Virus will be developed. It's actual efficacy is irrelevant; it is enough that one will be developed and promoted to the population as effective.
  
  
• The requirements for face mask use will be increased, to the point that not wearing one will be considered in many locations as akin to indecent exposure and will involve fines and potentially jail time. At the same time, the use of a face mask will be a strict requirement for all employment.
  
  
• The majority of the population will rebel against the use of face masks. I am not speaking of an active, bloody rebellion but rather a general consensus that people are simply fed up with the restrictions.
  
  
• The new vaccine will be promoted as an alternative to face masks. If one is vaccinated they have little risk of either contracting or spreading the dreaded Chinese Virus; therefore those who accept the vaccination will be exempted from the face mask requirement.
  
  
• Mask exemption will be voluntary or at least informal at first, but soon one will be required to show evidence of vaccination in order to be exempted. This will likely be in the form of a non-photo card one can carry with them, quite possibly with an identification barcode to be used in larger corporate settings.
  
  
• After some time, and for several reasons I am thinking a few years, a concern will be raised in the public arena about the lack of security of these new cards which have become a mainstay of public life. Laws against misuse of the mask exemption will be passed.
  
  
• By this time, the RealID identification cards will be in widespread use. After some intense debate, the face mask exemption cards will be merged with the RealID cards, so simply carrying around one's photo ID will allow for verification of vaccination and exemption status.
  
  
• A black market for exemptions will be created, using a RealID card that will work as normal but will contain false information as to exemption status.
  
  
• There will be another viral outbreak. This will serve to trigger massive government crackdowns on the black market and more strictly enforce adherence to face mask exemption laws.
  
  
• After some time, the RFID chips will gain support as a substitute for RealID. They will be promoted as extremely safe due to their long use and few side effects in pets, the ultimate in security since they cannot be lost or stolen, and the ultimate in convenience. Acceptance will be slow, but will happen.
  
  
• The RFID chips will be tightly regulated as a medical device. They will be implanted in the right hand for convenience, but an exception will be made for those with missing limbs to have them implanted in the forehead. To determine the location of the chips easily, the recipient will be marked with a small barcode that will also serve as additional security against fraud.
  
  
• Businesses will be required to either install scanners at all entrances to verify exemption or post signage indicating that they are not in compliance with the (to date voluntary) program. Employees will be required to verify anyone without a face mask who attempts to enter.
  
  
• The use of an employee will be a very expensive method of verification. Businesses will soon move to automatic verification via automated checkpoints. This will require that everyone inside is vaccinated and exempt, and will allow the businesses to claim "viral free" status in their advertising. This will, of course, mean that while one can legally move freely wearing a face mask or using a medical exemption, access to stores will be denied.
  
  
• Employers will use the automated verification first, in exchange for liability exclusions for anyone who might contract a virus at their workplace. Worker's Comp rates will be set based in large part on whether or not automatic verification is being used, providing a large financial reward for those who comply and financial punishment for those who do not.
  
  
• After several years, laws will be passed (primarily in large population centers) that serve to punish those who still refuse the vaccinations.

I expect this to start in either southern Europe or the Middle East. There is a good chance that the recent peace movements in the Middle East will be the birthplace of these requirements, although other developed countries will follow suit happily.

Revelation 13:11-18

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The reason I am posting this is that, for many years now, I have endeavored to understand prophesy and to add my voice to others in ways that would hopefully delay the bad things that are prophesied to be. That time is now past. Humanity has made a decision that is now irrevocable, and nothing anyone can do will prevent what is coming. All we can do is prepare.

Understand, this is not about politics... screw the R's and D's equally; politics is the fine art of controlling people's actions, and I have no desire nor intent to debate that here. It is not about the vaccine coming out; it can be the most effective vaccine ever developed, it can be purified water and do absolutely nothing. That is irrelevant. What is relevant is that it exists and it is being foisted on the people, first by an appeal to humanity, then by shaming, and finally by methods of increasing force. It is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

Now for the reason for the thread.

Today, while picking up groceries for the week, I spoke to one of the store minor managers I know well. He was of course wearing his employer-mandated mask. He said he was going to be happy to get rid of it and because of that he was ready to take the vaccine. It seems that particular grocery store (maybe the whole chain?) has already decided to forego the mask requirement for employment if they accept the vaccination.

That is the fourth listed step above. The first three have already come to pass.

The RFID Chip will be the next step, but I don't think it will be now. They will start by introducing some sort of Covid Passport for us to prove vaccination. (which they already are in some countries) After that, something will happen IMO. Some breach with fake Covid Passports etc. which will lead to a more 'secure' solution. Like 9/11 led to more control in general.

I feel like you are closer to the truth than not. Regardless... Even so, come, Lord Jesus. My soul is tired. I am tired of seeing how people treat each other. The lack of humanity. The basic lack of respect for what is the miracle of life. Lives taken over nothing but a look. Parents killing their children. Children killing their parents. The list goes on. I’m not debating with anyone how I feel. But I am tired and I know that I am not the only one feeling it.

That is almost exactly what he said??

My bad then, I only read the Revelations Part.

Hi Redneck, I don't usually (I think this is the 1st time) come to this forum as its not for me, but I am here respectfully with a question.

I couldn't help but notice that I too and probably many many more conspiracy theorists have made the same predictions.

The bible stuff is interesting, and I sometimes like hearing all the different types of interpretations.

My question is regarding the mark of the beast. I'm sure you'll agree there is no way everyone is going to specifically have the numbers 666 put anywhere on their bodies, RFID chips or some sort of tattoo? maybe yes, but the actual numbers 666? I'm confident that will be a no.

If you disagree, how do you think this part of the prophecy will come true?

Thanks

Yeah it's finally here. It is only by THE WORD we knew of these
times before hand. I wonder if you OP have had trouble seeing
where or just how Donald Trump fit in to these times. And what
is being rolled out now. I've had a lot trouble understanding his
role. I guess it was hard to see this happening with him in office.
Now of course it is occurring .

God I'm worried about my grandkids.

a reply to: Kangaruex4Ewe

Even so, come, Lord Jesus. My soul is tired.

You are not alone. I am tired as well.

But, while no one knows the time or the hour, and I certainly will not place a time or hour, my interpretation is that there is much yet to come. I wish I could say more, but something inside tells me no... these things that are to come must needs be, and it is not my place to say the things I want to say... at least not now.

Just know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and stay strong. Endure.

Stay out of Minnesota, though.

The vaccine will protect you from getting ill and then ending up hospitalized. But it's possible that you could still carry the virus and be contagious to others. So those who get the vaccine should still be wearing masks and practicing physical distancing.

It's easy to focus on the thees and thous and wherefores... but that is not the way to read prophesy. Prophesy is hidden within the daily events that are happening around us. John of Patmos may have shown us the destination, but current events reveal the path to that destination. Obstacles occur along the path; obstacles are never at the destination.

Let me answer your question with a question:

If you go to a store and buy a can of green beans, there is a barcode on it that is scanned at checkout. That barcode is not the price or the brand or anything like that... it is an assigned number that correlates to a computer database entry for those green beans. That database is where all the information comes from; the barcode is just a unique number.

Do you have any idea what the number of the barcode is? Or is it just a bunch of lines to you?

Yes, I see his role. His time has passed.

Let me just say this without getting into politics: some things are required by compassion and true justice.

a reply to: Itisnowagain

You are speaking of the science. I am speaking of the social aspects.

It does not matter that the vaccine does not mean one should or should not wear a mask. The masks are useless anyway. The vaccine may be useless or it may be completely effective. It simply does not matter. What matters is how it is used.

A hammer is no better than the arm swinging it. It by itself has no bearing on the accuracy of efficiency of the swing. Yet, look in any tool store and you will see all shapes and sizes of hammers, each one claiming to be better than the other by virtue of things that are irrelevant. And because of such false claims, more people buy that particular hammer expecting it to do what no hammer is capable of doing.

I expect it would be a long(ish) number, but definitely not 3 specific numbers.

I understand that question and thanks for sharing.

So would you be saying for example, that you are expecting all the RFID codes would have the number 666 somewhere in them?

Thanks

a reply to: TheRedneck

Agreed. I think we still have a ways to go. But I also feel like we (as in everyone) can do things that speed this up. Though like you, I feel like the time to stall it longer has been passed. I have my own thoughts on what the last trigger was. That light at the end of the tunnel is the only thing that keeps many of us going. We all have a role to play no matter how great or small.

Everyone here and those to come in the meantime have their role. Just like all of those that came before us.

And I’ve no plans to be near Minnesota!

a reply to: TheRedneck

There's absolutely no escape other than going completely off
grid and disappear into the mountains. Endure to the end in
survival mode is the only option and not everyone is capable
of that. Talk about being boxed in. One can't even off himself
to save his soul. And one could never have prepared for this.
Not fully. Trapped like a rat in a laboratory.

The barcode is the Universal Product Code -

Universal Product Code The Universal Product Code is a barcode symbology that is widely used in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries for tracking trade items in stores. UPC consists of 12 numeric digits that are uniquely assigned to each trade item.Wikipedia

The UPC is the legally accepted coding that your product is actually registered under. I believe it is assigned to product types, not individual units.

You may also have an SKU, Stock Keeping Unit, associated with a product. An SKU is an arbitrary alpha-numeric code assigned by a store or warehouse to identify and track a product unit in their catalog.

Then you will have model numbers and other product codes assigned by manufacturers.

I had to find out about all this when I worked at a warehouse because like most jobs you take, they consider such information to be need-to-know. But it was an important distinction between all the codes to find a product on the shelves for shipping and restocking.

I can see a UPC type identifier being used to help identify a person, but I imagine we will be assigned other codes like an SKU to zero right in on an individual.
