Warp Speed CV-19 Vax & Surveillance
There’s some interesting information regarding the upcoming Coronavirus-19 vaccine that is being prepared and coming out with “warp speed.” This is information you’ll want to know if you’re considering receiving the vaccine itself.

According to reports, all “vaccine recipients in the US will be monitored by ‘incredibly precise…tracking systems’ for up to two years and that tech giants Google and Oracle would be involved.” [1]  The article goes onto note that each recipient of the vaccine will receive two doses and will be precisely monitored for two years to know of any “adverse health effects.”

This is concerning. However, because it is not yet clear exactly how Google and Oracle will be part of this “monitoring” system yet to be put into place, one can only imagine the possibilities. Will there be some sort of “implant” that goes into recipient’s body along with the vaccine doses? If so, then that would obviously allow Google and Oracle to track people in real time, 24 hours a day. Allegedly, the people receive the first vax dose will receive reminders to get the second dose.

Documents related to the release of the CV-19 vaccine shed a bit of light on the possibilities of this tracking system, which are mentioned in this article. Apparently, this has to do with something called “pharmacovigilance surveillance system.”

The key objective of pharmacovigilance is to determine each vaccine’s performance in real-life scenarios, to study efficacy, and to discover any infrequent and rare side effects not identified in clinical trials. OWS will also use pharmacovigilance analytics, which serves as one of the instruments for the continuous monitoring of pharmacovigilance data. Robust analytical tools will be used to leverage large amounts of data and the benefits of using such data across the value chain, including regulatory obligations. [2]

Again, this will all be done in the name of “safety” for people. Needless to say, there will be plenty of people who will step up and offer their arms for this coming vaccine. They will certainly be told of the pharmacovigilance surveillance system that they are becoming part of by volunteering to receive the vaccine. They will voluntarily set aside the 4th Amendment for themselves in so doing.

Several government agencies are involved in this project.

• DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Pentagon)
• FDA
• CDC

As you read the linked article below, you’ll note that there is a good deal of secrecy connected to these agencies regarding their actual involvement in the coming pharmacovigilance surveillance system.

I’d like to be clear here on one aspect. I do not believe that this represents the upcoming Mark of the Beast mentioned in several places in Revelation. As far as I can tell, this vax will not be mandatory but that remains to be seen.

I will also state that even though I do not believe this warp speed vaccine is the Mark of the Beast, surely the technology that is being developed now for this and future vaccines will most likely be part of the system that the Beast uses to force everyone to take the Mark in the future.

If government tried to make the upcoming vaccine mandatory for all, it would likely spark a civil war with many refusing to take it. I won’t take it due to the fact that the warp speed vaccine is being produced so quickly that a number of important steps are purposefully being excluded and because I simply don’t ever take the seasonal flu shot or any other vaccine. I’ve never felt the need. That of course, is for each person to decide.

Campus Crusade 
We’ve highlighted a number of heresies in our series on False Prophets and according to Way of Life Literature, Campus Crusade for Christ began with apostasy under its wings and has continued that trend away from truth.

Campus Crusade for Christ is an “evangelical” interdenominational ministry with 25,000 workers in nearly 200 countries. (The name was changed to “Cru” in 2011.) Never really sound theologically, the organization has moved ever farther from God’s Word. Founded by Bill Bright, Campus Crusade was radically ecumenical from its inception. In 1969, Bright said, “We do not attack the Roman Church. We believe God is doing a mighty work in it and will no doubt use millions of Roman Catholics to help evangelize the world” (The Post & Times Star, Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 30, 1969). By the 1970s Campus Crusade had several Catholics on staff (James Hefey, A Prejudiced Protestant Takes a New Look at the
Catholic Church, 1971, p. 122). [3]

My wife is an ex-Catholic and there are some in our church who also left Catholicism. Interestingly enough, my wife was saved while attending a Catholic-led Bible study. That said, it can be easily shown how many heretical beliefs make up Roman Catholic Church theology, which is really modern day heathenism, with its Mariology, last rites, transubstantiation, indulgences (yes, still today), and much more. However, I do believe God can and does save people out of Roman Catholicism. In general though, the religion of Catholicism is simply anti-biblical in many respects.

But Campus Crusade does not stop here either. They are now promoting the idea that homosexuality is not specifically outlawed in Scripture. The only thing they say is outlawed is engaging in homosexual practices outside of marriage.

Now Campus Crusade is promoting the philosophy that Christians can be homosexual in dress and desire, as long as they don’t engage in homosexual activity. For example, in July 2019, Cru student leader Grant Hartley of California, who uses the hashtag #LGBTQinChrist, tweeted the following quote from Rachel Gilson, “There is no command in scripture to be straight; there is a command to be faithfully single or faithfully married, and you can do either of those without being straight.” Gilson is a Cru staff director in Boston (“Campus Crusade Teaching Kids That It’s Okay to be Gay,” Reformation Charlotte, July 30, 2019). God’s Word plainly condemns homosexuality in every aspect, including its “vile affections” and “burning lust” (Ro. 1:26-27). [4]

We know that the above comments are completely erroneous. God made Adam and Eve. He did not make two men or two women. A man and a woman complement one another and support the Creation as God made it. Paul in Romans 1, provides ample reason about what happens to a society that begins turning away from God. Normally, that society ends up going against nature in sexual sin; men burning with lust for one another and women doing the same toward other women. This is not only an affront to God but to His created order, something that Satan has worked hard to create. Too many within Christendom are simply going along with it, ostensibly because the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that it is constitutional for men to be married to men and women to be married to women.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court says. The only thing that truly matters is what God has said and as far as God is concerned, homosexual relationships are an abomination. This does not mean that Christians are to hate those engaged in them. We continue to express love to those folks. However, because of our biblical position, we will be seen as haters.

Marxism = Hatred of God
In the same article from Way of Life Literature, they also discuss aspects and a brief history of the development of Marxism. I would encourage readers to take the time to go through that article because it is enlightening. Ultimately, as they note, Marxism is really is “a war against God and His holy laws.”

Marxism seeks the total destruction of the family unit, patriarchy (male-led homes), turning children against parents and essentially doing whatever it takes to bring about the destruction of America and any other nation that has similar laws as the US. The goal is to replace the traditional mores of biblical Christianity with humanism, where not God, but people are placed on the pedestal.

Whatever the USA has stood for needs to be overturned. This is why homosexuality, lesbianism and the emphasis on the LGBTQ+ movement is so important to Marxists. By promoting these alternative lifestyles, the moral foundation of America is destroyed. That is the goal and that’s how it works because this is done from within by people who are voted into office on one hand, or by “protestors” (rioters) who run amok throughout cities in the USA.

You may have noticed that we are no longer seeing coverage of riots, lootings, arsons and the rest by AntiFa/BLM from the MSM. The reason for that is likely due to the fact that all the rioting was not looking good for the Democrats. Have the riots stopped? Not at all. Rioting, statue toppling, and general mayhem continues and the only people who are reporting it are the ones who have always reported in like Andy Ngo on Twitter. The NY Post offered an article on it as well after rioters toppled the statue of Abraham Lincoln, the president who freed the slaves. [5] Anyone who doesn’t understand what the protestors are trying to accomplish is blind, quite frankly.

Marxism and the groups like AntiFa and BLM which support it and its methods of overthrow are purely and ideologically satanic. People are advancing the goals of Satan here on earth. They work in conjunction with the father of lies to not simply overturn the USA, but ultimately, to overturn God’s rule over humanity and the earth. That’s the large, overriding goal.

This is what it’s all about, bringing Satan’s rule over the entire earth. As you know, this will become a reality about the midpoint of the coming Tribulation. All of what’s happening now is prepping for that final empire of Daniel 2. I apologize for repeating myself so often but it really does need to be repeated. Satan is building his final, global kingdom by which he will seek the overthrow of God Almighty.

With the many things that have transpired over the past four years, it has become infinitely clear that we are on the road that leads to global unity, which Satan will use to attempt to thwart God. If it’s not on the way to happening now, it surely will happen at some point in the future. All things appear to be pointing to that.

What helps me put things into perspective is that we do not fight against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12), though it certainly seems like it, doesn’t it? That’s a mirage. We fight against principalities and powers behind the flesh and blood, in the what realm? The spiritual realm, not this physical realm. In other words, all of the upheaval throughout society has its start in the spiritual realm, not the physical. It is guided by fallen spiritual beings who are opposed to God and who have found willing accomplices among human beings.

This must come to pass and we know how it all ends. In the meantime, continue to look up, trust the Lord, and continue to be willing to be used by Him for His good pleasure.
