Truth, information and freedom of expression are some of the most powerful tools we have today. Those who control news and information sources can promote one preferred view while silencing all others. In a free society, people are free to speak their minds and share their views without fear of retaliation. Under a totalitarian dictatorship there is only room for one view and one truth. Freedom is restricted and all opposing views are repressed. Tragically, this has become the sad state of affairs that we see in today’s society.
Under the current Covid-19 crisis, governments are at war against what they have labeled as “misinformation” and “vaccine hesitancy.” We are even losing our right to speak out and challenge the poor treatment of our citizens by the authorities. Modern tyranny has already dictated to us the only acceptable truth when it comes to Covid-19 vaccines. All voices that do not agree with the acceptable narrative are characterized as offensive and dangerous and are censored.
We have seen first-hand that those who choose not to take the Covid-19 vaccine for religious or medical objections, natural immunity or for any other reason have become a threat and are under attack. Government leaders want total submission when it comes to vaccination. They want you to do what they tell you, no questions asked. If you refuse they will take everything from you. No work, no food, no money, no unemployment checks, no travel, no rental properties and soon with the ever-increasing health mandates, no home. And if you complain and express your thoughts in public, you can be fined, arrested and jailed.
Under the reign of the new “Covid Tyranny” we only have two options: get vaccinated or suffer punishment. Obey or prepare to lose everything. Some hospitals now say they will not perform life-saving procedures on the unvaccinated. [1] In other words, let them die. This is authoritarian and tyrannical. In Colorado, there is a county that just authorized, in the name of public safety, new health powers to enter any property without a warrant and the ability to stop all purchases and sales. [2] No buying and selling and no respect for private property? Who will be the target? Obviously, these new powers will be used against the unvaccinated. If this is not vaccination by Martial Law then what is?
We are on the brink of totalitarianism. In fact, this is very worrying because this happened in Nazi Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. Governments today want absolute control over their populations and they are achieving it without any resistance. The Nazis shut down free speech and arrested, tortured and killed those with whom they disagreed. They demonized and dehumanized their political enemies, and prophecy reveals that this kind of abuse by those in authority would exist at the end of time:
“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.” Revelation 13:11.
Prophecy describes the second beast of Revelation 13 as a lamb-like beast. It is like a lamb but only through profession. It professes to be soft and gentle. It claims to defend civil and religious freedom. But as you look closer, the beast begins to speak and act. And instead of living up to its lamb-like profession, the Bible says that he will actually speak like a “dragon.” Our nation is speaking like a dragon. Jesus is the “lamb” of God (John 1:29), and instead of acting like Christ, our political leaders act like Satan, who is the “dragon” of Bible prophecy (Revelation 12:9).
But it is not just the political leaders. Our churches have become so apathetic that they side with the dragon and speak like a dragon. The lamb-like beast has two horns. One horn represents republicanism, a representative form of government that is governed by a Constitution. The other horn represents Protestantism, a faith system that rejects the tyranny of Rome and embraces the true biblical principles of liberty and freedom of conscience. So a peaceful lamb-like political system is one horn and a peaceful lamb-like Protestant faith represents the other horn. Unfortunately, both political and religious leaders are speaking like a dragon.
Dr. Peter Landless, director of Adventist Health Ministries for the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, has just published an article in the Adventist Review defending the aggressive health mandates imposed by state and local governments. In an article titled “Vaxed, Vexed, or Other?” Dr. Landless states that “prior to the release of the COVID vaccines, we buried too many faithful and healthy-living Seventh-day Adventists.” He then asked the following question about vaccine mandates and freedom of choice:
“Is Freedom of Choice Being Compromised? For decades I have traveled with a yellow fever certificate in my passport pack. Travelers who do not produce this document when requested are either injected or rejected. Why? So as not to spread a potentially lethal disease. As health-conscious Adventists we were delighted when smoking on aircraft was banned. I am thankful that Adventists such as Dr. Denis Baird were part of the advocacy group that successfully negotiated this change. The main argument? Secondhand smoke is dangerous to the health of those exposed. The almost universal enforcement of car safety belt use infringes on my personal choices; the evidence confirms, however, that many deaths are prevented, and injuries avoided, when safety belts are used. A similar argument holds for the use of helmets in bike riders. Why would these interventions be required? Frankly, to save us from ourselves.” [3]
Here we see the General Conference Director of Health defending the oppressive Covid-19 mandates. Dr. Landless agrees with the “inject or reject” policy. Who cares if people lose their jobs or are unable to buy food or are denied life-saving medical treatments. His rationale for vaccine mandates is that they “save lives.” He is simply repeating the globalist propaganda and popular narrative. The inconvenient truth is that it’s not just the unvaccinated that end up in the hospital. Fully vaccinated people are also being hospitalized with Covid-19. People with double vaccination can contract Covid-19, infect others and die from it.
Comparing seatbelt laws to the tyranny of vaccine mandates is completely disingenuous. The civil penalty for not wearing a seatbelt in the United States averages about $50. [4] You pay your fine and move on. That is not the case with Covid-19 vaccines. The covid crisis is fundamentally transforming our world. The Constitution of the United States is being discarded through health measures that tell us that we have no say about the vaccines. The full power of government is being used to punish the unvaccinated and expel them from society. These health mandates are nothing like the regulations that tell us to wear a helmet when riding a bike.
Dr. Landless is defending health mandates that are indefensible. These mandates allow government officials to break down people’s doors and go through their personal effects without any warrants. This is the sort of thing that is abusive. “But it’s okay now because the health mandates say so.” No, not according to the Constitution. These oppressive mandates are designed to repudiate our constitutional rights and drive the people into subjugation. The Marxist globalists know what they are doing and they will use the federal agencies (OSHA, CDC, DOJ and others) to force people to obey their wishes.
It all starts with the elimination of free speech. Freedom of expression is a threat to those who conspire to establish tyranny because free speech invites debate. Freedom of expression means that we can question the narratives that the establishment feeds us. On the other, hand tyranny seeks to control what people can hear. If you can control minds, you can control the population. The only acceptable information that dictators will allow is that which will preserve or increase their power.
What we hear about Covid-19 vaccines from the “experts” and the mainstream media is often biased. The recommendations keep changing. First, we needed only one vaccine. Then we needed two. Now, according to the “experts,” we need a third injection or you will lose your vaccination status and be banned once again from work, school and society. It’s already happening. Notice the following statement from a recent news article:
“Nearly two million Israelis previously considered fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are to be barred from schools, workplaces and social venues unless they have a third booster dose.” [5]
They are banning people who are already fully vaccinated unless they get the third shot? When will it end? Never. These endless vaccination cycles and oppressive measures are part of the foreseeable future. One thing is certain; this has been very profitable for companies that manufacture vaccines. Is it just a coincidence that many of the heads of vaccine companies have become billionaires and just made the list of the 400 richest people in America? [6]
An Appeal in Defense of Liberty of Conscience Petition
Finally, make your voice heard. There is a petition that was started by Seventh-day Adventists from the Liberty and Health Alliance. This petition addresses forced vaccinations and will be shared with Adventist pastors and administrators worldwide. This petition is called “An Appeal in Defense of Liberty of Conscience” and it clearly establishes that forced vaccination mandates are a violation of religious freedom. It also calls on Seventh-day Adventists to use their influence to help others reject these oppressive measures. I know some will say that signing petitions will not change anything. Well, it can’t hurt and it certainly can help. So sign and share with others and make your voice heard; I did. Click here to read or sign: https://libertyandhealth.org/liberty/#Sign

Its sad to notice that our church especially those who are big people in health are the ones who wants to deliver us into phillistines.They will act like pilate in his day who let JESUS CHRIST be crucified inorder to keep friends with ceasar.This is the lesson for adventism.
Aubrey L Duncan says
I have been convinced from the very beginning that the Coronavirus phenomenon is a well orchestrated program for preparation of implementation of the Mark of the Beast. It is being perfectly implemented.
Get Ready…Get…Get Ready
The Roman Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation. She is employing every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for a fierce and determined conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done.—Great Controversy, pp. 565, 566.

I totally agree. It should be obvious to every SDA that this is headed for the mark of the beast. Alas, most of our church members are asleep and before they know it, they will be swept into accepting the mark of the beast.
Paul Brock says
“We have no king but Caesar.” When did the GCSDA say that? 1955-1956 during the Barnhouse-Martin Meeting. Off the side from SDA Froom was the president of the GC agreeing with him. “Don’t let anyone know.” But Froom and the President gave away the key principles of the original SDA Church. And guess what? E.G. White predicted it. Just like when Paul said false prophets would come in privily and to spy out our liberty and among the leaders of the church draw away much of the flock. What was the results? Church and State united by Emperor Constantine in 321AD and especially in 325 AD, Council of Nicea, to produce Catholicism, Baptized Paganism. All over again! Nothing new! Of course not! Dior and Wilson is leading the flock down the road to destruction. WARNING! Look for another Black Flag event soon, like 9-11! A million “Towel Heads” could never have pulled off a 9-11 event unless our Black-op government allowed it! Remember both Bush Presidents are Skill & Bonesman. That’s like say, “I’m a family member of the highest level occultic society throughout the world!” This occultic society, yes, is demonic and Luciferian. Oh, by the way, did you know when the 9-11 took place, who was it who was filming the compete event, from start to finishing, across the Hudson in NJ? The Israel secret agent the Mossad! Remember when Scripture said, “They call themselves Jews but are not Jews.” I have researched as high as 90% of the Jews in Israel are not DNA Jews. They are Ashkenazies! A tribe of Kazarians. The primary Ashenazeh Jewish family were the Rothschilds. More to come.
Thomas Eisendrath says
Follow the money trail and the popular, broad road of the political agenda of the SDA church. Luke 6:26,
New Living Translation
What sorrow awaits you who are praised by the crowds, for their ancestors also praised false prophets.
English Standard Version
“Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
Thomas Eisendrath says
““There’s trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests—look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.”
Luke 6:26 MSG

Thank you for the article. We need to place all our possessions on the altar befor the Lord and be inquiring when to sell.

It is wrong for a church to join the beast in singing the same dragonian song.
Alric Prendergast says
Very sad indeed, I remember reading an article where one of the professional doctors who is a SDAC member said something like this…You want to worship in spirit and in truth get vaccinated, right…
(this was one of the articles on this website, how spiritually low can we get in my view? The new gods in modern day society, be they among the national public or the religious leaders of any church including the SDAC, expects all under their influence and power to carry out their commands and directives which appear to be well meaning and in keeping in health and safety as it were: I was searching for the page with the video clip where a doctor Alric…{not sure of the surname} made such a well meaning statement but without the right context to put it mildly)
As Seventh-day Adventist we believe in the writings of E G White we say, but it is as if a cover or wool has been put over the following statement and we remain ignorant of the following with such spiritual blindness…
“Hundreds and Thousands Were Seen Visiting Families.”—In visions of the night representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God’s people. Many were praising God…The…sick…were…healed…and other…miracles…were…wrought… A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was manifested before the great day of Pentecost. Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the Word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest. On every side doors were thrown open to the proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lighted with the heavenly influence. Great blessings were received by the true and humble people of God. I heard voices of thanksgiving and praise, and there seemed to be a reformation such as we witnessed in 1844.—Testimonies for the Church 9:126.
Then if this future vision of the church of God is to become true, then why push the government’s programme of vaccination when under God living instruments will be raised up, like Jesus, the apostles, Elijah and Elisha, who were all used by The Spirit of God without professional medical training to heal the sick and bring comfort to the suffering? Yes, in the spirit of the vision in the night by our late sister E G While, we need not take the vaccine, our God can protect His people from the so called corona virus plague and keep us well and safe without the need to take the vaccine, the church of God should be providing the healing in the world at large and not repeating the governments mandate to take the vaccine as if there is no other way to fight and keep well in the midst of the current crisis.
The good book, the bible says…My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge (Hosea 4) and we are also suffering right now because we are so ignorant of the vision of E G White, where by The Spirit of prophecy Christ reveals to her, that the church will be used to provide healing to many in this world, especially in areas where the professionals find very hard to heal or still doing their research into certain diseases, illnesses and are finding it very difficult to cure.
Help my God, Help, we are powerless to act differently than we do now, we remain at a loss to find the needed and right solution in this present crisis, yes we remain doomed to continue as we are now and unless divine intervention is manifested as never before, like it was in the time you ministered with healing, the apostles did after your returned to your heavenly home and as did Elijah and Elisha, we remain captives of our present and uncomfortable situation, unless you raise up a 21st centaury Moses among us, our religious leaders are no better than the elders of the people of Israel, until you sent your servant, a living instrument to lead your people out of slavery in the land of idolatry. I know you can do this, even in the midst of our current crisis, nothing is too hard for you (said the angel from heaven) with God all things are possible (you said to your disciples) So come through for us, right in the midst of this current crisis, whenever you are ready, if it is to your glory and the divine purpose as never before among your people, set us free as Daniel and his three friends were free to obey you, be the situation favourable or not and would rather obey the invisible government of heaven beings, than the visible government of human beings, may we be found ready and willing to be used by you among others to the glory of God and His Christ, for the betterment of all humanity, Amen and amen.

daniel says
Our SDA Church has supported abortion for many years, which is much worse than a vaccine.
Sadly, most of our members don’t get vocal about sins in the church until they start to affect us personally.
We are hypocrites.
J3 says
No, brothers and sisters, we are not powerless. We have the clear word of God and the spirit of prophecy and are not without knowledge of the truth. This covid injection is NOT harmonious with the health message we have been blessed with. It is heartbreakingly sad to admit, but the beast has made deep inroads into the 501c3sdac. It is patent our infrastructure/ hierarchy will not go through. But the truth of God and his faithful people will, by his grace. What we are experiencing is nothing we have not been thoroughly warned about. Courage and faith brethren, the victory is God’s!
Jane Harding says
Ellen White is known to have aken the Small Pox vaccine. What is the difference?
Jane Harding says
I don’t know who this guy is but I could hardly get through the article. It was full of “what if” rather than the truth of what is actually happening today. A hospital has the right to demand you do as they ask because a health care worker works for the hospital, they are paid to follow the rules the hospital has setup. There is no “freedom” in being employed. They have a right to fire you if you don’t go by their rules.
I keep up pretty well with the news and there have been no laws set up concerning getting the covid shot. The hospitls are full of people who are sick and dying with covid because some one told them it would change their genes or there is a tracking device in the shot, or it is the mark of the beast. They are filling the beds needed by other types of illnesses and over working the hospital staff.
My understanding of the mark of the beast is your final acceptance of the keeping of Sunday as the Sabbath which was changed by Rome. We are told that as we get nearer to the end of time that there would be more wars, and storms, and pestulencies but the end is not yet. That means that the pestulence is not the mark of the beast.
