Face masks can't go on forever. What we need is a vaccine to get this under control.
But then how do you know whether someone you're interacting with (and no face mask) has been vaccinated? Simple! Have an obvious mark on the right hand or forehead proving the person is safe. You can be sure of who they are. That they were vaccinated. And that they don't have any wrongthink.
Seeing anyone without the mark would be a huge indicator to distance yourself from them. Report them to authorities. Certainly not to do business with them. [Rev 13:16-18]
Fear will drive people to take the mark and report those who don't have it. And it will seem to be the wise thing to do. Even if it is actually a fatal mistake. [Rev 14:9-11] Thanks to the dear leader who made it all happen to keep us safe. Think of the children! Etc.
Such a mandatory vaccine, required for every person on Earth, would definitely not have any undesirable side effects. [Rev 16:2]
Disclaimer: I have not started any "Don't take the mark" messages prior to this journal entry. And certainly would not do so anonymously. The preceding is merely an opinion about how things might go. But I'll just say this:
Don't take the mark! It will cost you to refuse. It won't be easy to refuse.
More, if you find yourself in this situation and are reading this.

The preterist view is that Revelation refers to events around 70 AD. There's just one problem. Revelation was probably written around 95 AD, so roughly 25 years after the events it supposedly foretells. If it's based on the idea that Nero would return after his death, linking the events in Revelation to the siege of Jerusalem doesn't make sense.
Some scientists have examined the book of Ezekiel and believe he was an epileptic who interpreted his seizures as visions from God. The imagery in Revelation is fairly similar. You would have done better to suggest that people who didn't understand anything about how the brain works misinterpreted the images during seizures. That would be more logical than your preterist argument.
