Victoria, Australia: Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced the Australian state is headed towards the edict that citizens must have a COVID-19 vaccination in order to participate in the state’s economic system.

“There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated. We’re going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.”

“The economy, as best it can, will operate as close to normal as possible to people who have had two doses.” -Daniel Andrews, Victorian Premier

Victoria is also promoting the idea of “vaccination passports”. This technology will be utilized via Android and Apple smart phones.

“The Victorian Chamber raised the concept of vaccination passports months ago. You only need to look overseas to see that they are likely to be an integral part of our opening up.”

“Vaccination certificates must be integrated with QR code check in as a single system to reduce the impost on business and that technology should be rolled out as soon as such a scheme commences,” Victoria Chamber Chief Executive Paul Guerra.

Australian Jews celebrating Rosh Hashanah in a Melbourne synagogue were fined for violating COVID-19 policies. Approximately 100 worshipers were each fined $5,452 Australian dollars or $4,026 USD.

“I understand this has been a very difficult year for lots of people that can’t go and do the things that they want to do. But if we don’t follow these rules, then we will all have to wait longer to do the things that we want to do. That’s why the rules apply to everybody.” -Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews

Revelation 13:16-18 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Is Mark Andrews the antichrist? No

Is the COVID 19 vaccination the mark of the beast? No

One quarter of humanity has not died as noted at the onset of the Tribulation in Revelation 6 (roughly 2 billion people). There is no 3rd Jewish Temple. There are no two witnesses. Another third of humanity has not perished as noted in Revelation 9 (roughly another 2 billion people). The antichrist has not taken out the two witnesses and assumed power. The seal and trumpet judgments have not taken place.

As of September 2021, we are not in the Great 7 Year Tribulation. The context of the mark emerges with the total domination and rule of the antichrist. This takes place during the last 3½ years of the seven year tribulation.

The scope and scale of the mark of the beast is the entire planet. These current events are taking place in the Australian state of Victoria.

But the reality is this. A current political figure is requiring an action of individuals (getting vaccinated) in order to participate in economic affairs. The precedent is being set.

The Bible in Revelation 13 says this day is coming…

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves… Everyone who is alive at this future time will be faced with this decision.

no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark… This decision will affect one’s ability to engage in commerce (groceries, gas, water, clothes, etc.). Take the mark, short term gain, eternal loss in the lake of fire.

These verses are an appeal to your intellect. Taking the mark is not an emotional response that is made because one has a flutter in their stomach. It is not a gut hunch. Take control and hold mental faculty. Pay attention closely. Carefully think and discern. Have sober purpose. This is a massive decision. It will be the biggest vote of your life. Your eternal destination rides on this choice.

Revelation 14:9-11 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
