With the vaccines and the mask mandates they are forcing people to wear? Maybe it’s a preparation time for the mark of the beast: “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the…
