In my circle there are so many factors at play that are perhaps different than the average person. I have "christian" doctor friends who willingly took jabs and gave them to all their families. I have regular "christian" friends who did it to "protect others", they "felt it was the right thing", perhaps to save their jobs, etc. The thing that has ultimately bothered me most about all of this is that all of these self-professed believers lacked discernment. The Holy Spirit they claim lives inside them, is not one who changes his mind. He knows the Truth because He is Truth. They also lacked the ability to discern from scripture how Satan and his evil minions work in this world. They have been utterly blind to the truth. I'm not God, and I'm no longer a pre-tribulation dispensationalist so my views on eschatology have changed to a historical Christian view, but most of my friends are pretribulation dispensationalists and as such should have viewed this as "the mark of the beast" and yet they failed to discern even that possibility. I have many Amish friends who asked if this was "the Mark" which I expressed "no, likely not; however, satan works in the same ways among men. He is crafty and seeks only death and destruction and he is a liar. As such, in many ways, yes,it is like the mark." Scripture is clear that the devil's deception is so crafty that if it weren't for the Holy Spirit even the elect would be deceived. So where does this put all my gaslighting, goody-goody friends and acquaintances who fell for this evil lie?? Obviously, only God knows. But how many "professing Christians" are not who or what they claim to be? The Spirit should give an other-worldly discernment to God's elect, yet so many were do easily deceived. Most really were not coerced, most willingly submitted, most dragged others down with themselves. It is mind-boggling to me. This aspect, the spiritual aspect, should have put most believers in the 20%, but it didn't. Most of them were as blind sheep led to the slaughter, but even worse, because of their spiritual false idols of "submission" and "for the good of others", they have shackled a millstone to the necks of countless others! So many blamed Paul for their need to obey, while blindly ignoring the fact that Paul was not one to blindly obey--he defied the Evil Roman government by continuing to preach, he did not follow their laws in matters of conscience. He did in other procedural matters but not in everything else. He died disobeying Rome for the sake of Christ! I do believe the stage was set for the failure of most Christians long ago by the "phamakeia" of vaccination. Christians were duped long ago to be champions of jabs. Most are utterly brainwashed and do not realize the entire industry is built on the backbone of the slaughter of the unborn, to this day. Most refuse to look at the truth regarding this and are therefore willing pawns for the ongoing evil sorcery, the slaughter of millions born and unborn, and now this genocide. I pray they wake up. I pray for repentance! The world needs a Great spiritual awakening. Not just being awake to the lies we have been told, but true biblical repentance and faith in Christ alone!
