The fig leaves analogy comes up alot for me when people who are in denial about these days being the end times refer me to the passage where Jesus days that no one will no the hour of his return.

I will agree that no in one could put a date on that, and that there is no way of predicting that, however we were given signs to watch for and when we see those things it is like the fig tree coming outnof dormancy we know that spring has sprung.. I do not claim to know when any of this will be over but I can see that it has started and we are in it.the signs are there, there is a globalist agenda, and to those who say the temple has not been rebuilt so it can't be the end I would like to point out that they have been making all of the things the temple functions by for a few years now. All the items objects, vessels etc that essentially are the functionality of the temple, all the things the rituals and practices depend on, essentially everything except the actual building structure have been being made since before covid started .

As for the mark, I believe there are many levels to what that is. Up until a few years ago I believed it simply meant that the mark on the hand meant works and by servitude to the beast, and that a mark on the forehead meant that the mind was dedicated to the beast.

But in 2016 or 17 I went to enroll my son into 2nd grade and he was denied enrollment because a senate bill had passed (california) stating that there would be no more exemptions for vaccines in any Cal schools public or private. At that point I really could see that there would be a physical mark, maybe a chip or something I thought that was connected to vaccines. I did not enroll my son in school and was appauled that christians were accepting that and not protesting. I was on face book at the time (not any more) and so I made a post saying that " all you so called christians just accepted the mark of the beast" because I believed if you did not stand against that when it was easy, that you would not be able to stand against the mark which will not be easy.

In 2019 I was taking to my friend about the NWO and how I believed that was connected to Revelation. They were not Christian but when I read them the book of revelation they agreed that sounded like NWO. This was precovid. We started talking about the mark and I said that I did not think it was going to be a situation where they kick in your door and hold you down and force anything but that there would be a scenario where people would end up submitting to it somehow. I believed this because the bible says you can't buy or sell without it, and that people would be CAUSED to receive the mark, not forced.

Once the pandemic started I pretty quickly came to believe that the mark will be a quantum dot tattoo that acts as a vax passport, and I see that we are headed in that direction.

The first o read about it was that Gates and MIT had working on it for a while. Gates said that there are so many problems with paper passports including that they can be stolen, lost, and forged or even forgotten at home etc, but the invisible dot tattoo that can only be seen under a device with a phone app could not be lost, forged, stolen or forgotten.bi also see the relatively non invasive tattoo as easy enough for many people to accept and easy enough for even more people to submit to but that it would be the first step at getting into our bodies to warm us up for chips and who knows what else.

With that said I see that getting the vax is almost equal to getting the mark bu taybe not as damning. Maybe some one could have naively gotten the vax but the mark not being available yet they can repent and not go that route.

But back to the fig leaves, the fact that there is even a thing on the horizon that they are saying we may not be able to work or go shopping without to me is the fig producing leaves.

I do not believe that there is ever going a scenario that is even close to the description in revelation of not being able to buy or sell with out something that won't be what was prophecies. Meaning o do not think God would send such an important prophecy and then allow a situation that is almost like that but not it to happen . I just don't believe God would allow a situation to manifest that one could mistake for the situation the prophet wrote about. God would not mess with is like that. Again when we see the fig leaves we will KNOW. It does not say we will wonder if it's spring or that we will maybe be mistaken, we will Know.

Ever since I was a kid and first read that prophecy and read where we would not be able to buy or sell without the mark I have been interested in self sufficiency because it seemed like dependency on the consumer system would be what caused everyone to receive the mark.
