Read MoreWhat is the Mark of the Beast?
“Pastor, are vaccines the Mark of the Beast.” This was a sincere question from a church member about a year ago. My answer was definite. “No, vaccines are not the Mark. Believers will KNOW what it is when it comes.” I do believe in a pre-tribulational rapture, so I do not expect to have to…
