Where are we now in prophetic events?

Is Covid the mark of the beast?

Some preachers are saying that Covid is the mark of the beast.  It is not. The mark is on the forehead or right hand. These marks are symbolism and relate to Deuteronomy 6:6 and Exodus 13:8 & 16. This sign or mark was about the law. Israel had a system of sacrifices; daily, weekly, monthly and annually. These days were called sabbaths and sacrifices were commanded by God to be offered on all these days. This sacrificial program was a shadow acted out by symbolism to be fulfilled by Jesus. Jesus fulfilled the law and all these sacrifices. To continue to keep these days is to deny what Jesus did.  Now, the antichrist is to revive the sacrifices and offer them again in a future third temple. 

 It is an evil plan of Satan to use the scripture of the old covenant to deceive people to deny Jesus by going back to the law. The old covenant was the law. The ark of the covenant contained the tables of stone, the Ten Commandments. The new covenant makes it very clear that the law will not save anyone. Satan does not want people to be saved so he deceives them by scripture into keeping the law. To the uninformed person this biblically based lie will seem great and they will follow Satan.  The mark of the beast is on the forehead symbolizing the mind or how a person thinks. The mark on the hand symbolizes work of your hands which is to stop on the sabbaths of the law. Anyone violating this renewed law of Satan will be killed along with those who refuse to take these marks. So then, the preachers telling you Covid is the mark are full of dung.  

The covenant the antichrist makes with 10 nations is 7 years long.  The tribulation starts at the middle of this 7 years when the antichrist ends the sacrifices and proclaims himself God. This means that the tribulation is 3 & 1/2 years. The tribulation is not 7 years long it is 3 & 1/2 years long and according to Jesus this is cut short by some days.  

At this time we are in a period called the beginning of sorrows that will be a series of events in which Satan makes it look like events leading to the return of Jesus are happening when they are not.  Satan will cause counterfeit events to occur to add to his deception.  These will not be the true events but will seem very real to people. Those people who are called Gods elect can not be deceived by these things even though they are extremely convincing because of Satan using scriptures to deceive. Remember this, the first one showing up is the fake. No matter how good he looks or how many miracles he performs he is a fake. If he says to keep the law or take a mark, he is a fake.

Current events in the world are indeed very bad but they will not get better, they will get worse. All this leading to a false tribulation that will end by the ten nation treaty of antichrist. Afterward antichrist will bring in peace and safety producing a false millennium. When the plans of antichrist begin to fall apart then the real tribulation will begin.
