The response to Covid-19 and its many variants by those in authority has created a global crisis. And the crisis we are witnessing is the creation of the authoritarian political/religious dictatorship described in Revelation 13 and 17. I don’t see how anyone can deny this because government overreach is taking full control over every aspect of society, both in religious and public sectors.
Two parties are developing: those who submit to the vaccine mandates and those who resist for health or religious reasons. This is creating a discriminated class of citizens where only the unvaccinated are forbidden from shopping, traveling, working and worshipping. In some places, churches are being forced to hold segregated worship services, and in other places, the unvaccinated are facing criminal prosecution. If this is not persecution, then what is it?
- In some parts of India, government officials have passed a mandatory vaccination ordinance and all violators will be prosecuted by law. [1]
- In Victoria, Australia churches have to segregate their worship services for the vaccinated and the unvaccinated with the latter facing restrictions. [2]
- In Germany, they have just announced nationwide lockdowns for the unvaccinated. [3]
- Austria will start fining the unvaccinated up to $7,200 (EUR) when the Covid-19 vaccine becomes mandatory in February 2022. [4]
- In the United States, Joe Biden’s oppressive vaccine mandate wants to force companies to hire only the vaccinated. [5]
A line has been drawn in the sand. We are no longer talking about the persecution that is coming. It is here. The ability to live freely and peacefully in this world without having your conscience violated is over. Some have asked, “Is this the mark of the beast?” Well, not exactly; however, when the mark of the beast comes, it will look exactly like this crisis being created right now by those in power.
These are clear violations of civil and religious liberty. They are taking away peoples’ right to choose, dictating church worship, threatening livelihoods, threatening fines, threatening criminal prosecution and treating the unvaccinated as second-class citizens. This is not only unconstitutional, it is tyranny, and this is exactly how the Nazi Holocaust began. These oppressive mandates are a step in that direction.
The reason why the debate over Covid-19 vaccines is so heated is simply because political and ideological narratives are overshadowing facts and science. For example, the claim has been made that if you get the vaccine, you will be protected from contracting or transmitting Covid. Or if you take the many boosters, you will be safe from contracting or spreading Covid. This is simply not true, and those who say this are misrepresenting the facts with political rhetoric.
Even those vaccinated can still contract and transmit the virus. The CDC has said this. There is no scientific evidence that vaccines are stopping or slowing down the spread of infections. In fact, what is diminishing is the efficacy of the vaccines that are basically becoming useless after a couple of months – not that they ever protected you in the first place. What is changing are our laws, our political structures, our economic policies and our religious institutions as the world moves to create the final tower of Babel as described in Revelation 18.
We need to be praying and fasting for our brothers and sisters who are facing this crisis head on. We need to ask God to intervene in our lives and provide for us in the dangerous days ahead. Some are losing their jobs and soon some will have to pay fines and possibly go to jail over these oppressive Covid mandates. We are grateful to some governors, politicians and some religious leaders who are resisting these abuses of civil and religious liberty. We have some godly leaders who are not going to support these oppressive health edicts, but for how long? And at what point will our world deteriorate and transform into the oppressive, totalitarian world government that we see clearly in Bible prophecy?
“We have no time to lose. We know not how soon our probation may close. At the longest, we have but a brief lifetime here, and we know not how soon the arrow of death may strike our hearts. We know not how soon we may be called to give up the world and all its interests. Eternity stretches before us. The curtain is about to be lifted. But a few short years, and for everyone now numbered with the living the mandate will go forth: ‘He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: … and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.’ Revelation 22:11. Are we prepared? Have we become acquainted with God, the Governor of heaven, the Lawgiver, and with Jesus Christ whom He sent into the world as His representative? When our lifework is ended, shall we be able to say, as did Christ our example: ‘I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do…. I have manifested Thy name’?” (Ministry of Healing, p. 454).

While the Mark of the Beast is future, what’s being created now clandestinely is the Image of the Beast, the religious/political structure that will implement the mark of the beast. A system where religion (papists and fallen protestants) control the civil government;
“In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.” – GC 443.2
“When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.” – GC 445.1
Satan is counterfeiting the happenings before actual such that people will have a stomach full of present troubles such that when the mark of the beast comes,people could be easily accept.We need a global call for prayer with the mandatory coming.
Aloha from the Island of Maui, SMK!
Praise God, and thank you Pastor Andy for another great appraisal of the situation that we are beginning to encounter as the “dragon,” begins his last attempt to destroy the Remnant Ecclesia of Living Stones!
Let the words of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, anchor our hope to the Rock of our Salvation! “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the – Stone Mountain Kingdom of God!” (Check out Daniel chapter 2, particularly verses 34-35, and verses 44-45), and – do not be afraid!
May the Aloha/Grace – of God be with us all – as we enter the “End of the Time of the End!”
Your brother in Christ,
Maka’ala Stone
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW ARTICLES THAT I HAVE READ BY ANY RELIGIOUS GROUP THAT PUT THIS IS MATTER IN PLAIN SIMPLE TERMS, AND PROVES TO ME THAT THE WORD OF GOD IN 1 PETER IS NOW COMING TRUE. THE HOUR OF GODS JUDGMENT HAS COME.
1Pe 4:16 However, if you suffer because you are a Christian, don’t be ashamed of it, but thank God that you bear Christ’s name.
1Pe 4:17 The time has come for judgment to begin, and God’s own people are the first to be judged. If it starts with us, how will it end with those who do not believe the Good News from God?
1Pe 4:18 As the scripture says, “It is difficult for good people to be saved; what, then, will become of godless sinners?”
1Pe 4:19 So then, those who suffer because it is God’s will for them, should by their good actions trust themselves completely to their Creator, who always keeps his promise. GNB.
Rev 14:3 And they are singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one is able to learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
Rev 14:4 These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been redeemed from among mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb.
Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no lie—they are blameless.
Thanks for your article. It aligns with what I’ve been seeing and how I understand these times. I’ve written a similar paper that you may find helpful.
