You and I both brother Acts 10:1-48.

My brother In Christ, my point is not to rely on dreams alone. My point is that God is able to send a message through any means he wants. Lets be logical about this, do you think a person preaching the word of God only opens the bible every time and automatically he gets a sermon?...Yes holy spirit will direct him to where he must speak but inside of his sermon you'll hear some example of what relates to the passage. Yes we read the word of God but any good sermon comes with examples of today's world. Jesus himself spoke in parables. To be more clear what I am saying is God can use anything to convey a message now to understand the message we use his word to relate to what is being said.

I don't believe so FatherGoose the faces that I saw were some of those from the churches where I am from. Not to mention a large bed placed inside the church itself.

Yes! I'm with you on that. I also accept the fact that what must come to pass shall come to pass and rest upon God's words as Mike mentioned in God we hope in him we trust.

I disagree. I have had occasions where I would see things in a dream and tomorrow the exact thing happens. In addition to that the God of Joseph is our God and his spirit is also with us and if you believe that because the bible is complete God cannot speak through dreams or visions then are there no more prophets today?

I guess I took it as more of a warning or signal of some sort. However I do agree as long as we are ready there's nothing to worry about.

Very Informative. Thanks a lot for this.

His measures are in place and he is only waiting for the church to go home. I can agree on that.

To be fair can we at least agree that the beast must have to be in the sea already to come out of it?

Thank you for this I will check it out.

I also hold this belief. However, would you say that the beast is not already here or at least in the beginning stage of coming out?

I agree with you but I wanted to add that the bible does speak about in Acts 2 vs 17 in addition to that lets remember how God spoke through dreams and visions where Joseph could have interpreted its meanings.

Can I redirect the question to you of whether the mark of the beast is in metaphoric terms eg. the bible says that Jesus will come like a thief in the night 1 Thessalonians 5:2.

True for now the vaccine does not prevent you from shopping or selling however I feel eventually it will lead to that. In fact there are countries eg. Sweden where employees cannot work without the microchip sized as a rice grain installed on the hands. The vaccine contains the same technology. What about business owners what will happen if they cannot purchase merchandise for resale or travel without taking the vaccine? I feel with the vaccine its not directly forced in terms of words eg. " You have to take it" but instead " If you do not take it" you cannot not work, travel or shop etc... In fact Germany, Hungary, Iceland and even Israel has already started placing persons on that "special list." This is big for countries that depend on bigger countries to feed its population. https://www.dw.com/en/covid-special-privileges-for-the-vaccinated/a-56077470 https://abc7news.com/immunity-passports-for-travelers-coronavirus-restrictions-covid-hungary/8554765/ https://globetrender.com/2021/01/14/israel-green-passports-vaccinated-citizens-travel/

This is a very powerful message. In the spirit of preparing for Jesus' return, please share your thoughts about the mark of the beast. Do you believe the vaccine is the mark and does the bible speak about the mark in metaphoric terms or it is just a serial number really placed visibly so that persons will see it clearly on the forehead or right hand?
