At the end of this eon, a system of governmental control called "the Beast" will require a mark of membership, apart from which no citizen may participate in any commercial activity, including the
purchasing of goods and services. Those who refuse this mark will be branded societal outcasts and either driven to the margins of existence or killed.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that allegiance to the Beast centers around a manufactured health crises called CV One-Niner, and one's willingness to allow foreign cells to be inject into one's body, ostensibly protecting one from the manufactured plague.
It seems incredible that a Biblically-prophesied event of such magnitude (it ends one eon and ushers in another) could begin with something so seemingly innocuous as happy people lining up to receive a free, quick medical procedure, and then bragging about it to their friends and family over dinner.
