Markell: Haunting Parallels Between The 1930s & The 21st Century COVID Crisis

One of the ways Germans who refuse to take the mandated inoculations are being ostracized is that yellow painted signs reading, “DO NOT BUY FROM UNVAXXED” have appeared on store windows in the Central European country. In response, some protestors have started wearing yellow badges shaped like the Jewish Star of David with the inscription “unvaccinated,” drawing a comparison to the Nazis’ persecution of Jews during World War II.

“I’ve said for almost a year that there are some haunting parallels between the 1930s and the 21st century here with this COVID crisis,” comments Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries. “A new group of people in the 21st century are becoming the new untouchables, the new yellow-starred people. And that’s those who just choose for various reasons, and there are lots of reasons, to be unvaccinated for COVID.”

She confesses that she never thought she would see in her lifetime any sort of resurgence of what happened in the ’30s, and she believes the whole pandemic fits into end times prophecy.

“Someday the unsaved left behind after the rapture are going to be depending on the Antichrist, and what I see is a conditioning right now for prepping people to trust the government with their major decisions,” Markell submits. “Right now that’s health and are they going to keep their jobs, but they have to comply in order to please the government.”

Markell says she is “shocked” at the thought of how many people are going to be truly left behind to go through the tribulation.

Jan Markell in her article, “When the Remnant Grows Weary,” expanded on this, writing:

All would acknowledge, both on the right and the left, that government is growing out-of-control. Liberties are being violated on a daily basis as politicians meet in smoke-filled rooms to scheme and deny rights to the people. In America, the Constitution has been tossed in a trash can.

Soon we will be a vaccine passport society and the unvaccinated will assume “yellow star” status. How did this happen? This is hardly the “normal” people think will return.

Prepping for Mr. Fix-It

Society is being prepped for the Antichrist and as prophecy-loving believers try to warn, the words are falling on a lot of deaf ears.

The stage is being set for a closing act. The players are getting into their proper positions. Heads of state are meeting to plot and scheme and deny even more rights. In places like Australia, Lithuania, and Austria, good people are enemies of the state even though they are upstanding citizens.

Markell added that believers should “brace” themselves “to be shocked daily by things you read and watch.”

“Satan is getting more active and wickedness is rising, so God’s people must shine more brightly,” she urged. “But for the believer, a glorious event will happen soon. It is known as the Rapture of the Church. It is any day. Any hour. Any minute. So don’t grow weary!“

Why Christians Have A Biblical Responsibility To Participate In The Political Process

With the 2026 midterm elections just days away, millions of Americans are preparing to cast their ballots in an election that will have significant implications for the nation’s future. With control of Congress hanging in the balance, voters will help determine the legislative agenda and political trajectory of the next two years. For Christians, the election raises questions that go beyond political parties, candidates, and policy preferences. Is voting merely a civic privilege, or does Scripture provide a theological framework for understanding it as an act of stewardship and love of neighbor? And what role should pastors and churches play in equipping believers to exercise this responsibility faithfully? As Americans prepare to head to the polls next Tuesday, these questions invite us to consider a more fundamental issue: whether Christians have a Biblical responsibility to participate in the political process.

A Barbaric Death Penalty: Politicians, Doctors, The Abortion Industry, And The Media Have Lied To Mothers

Sadly, the abortion industry continues to either deny the level of pain inflicted upon the preborn or bury the evidence by introducing “expert” reports that contain deliberately vague language which seeks to assure mothers that abortion does not cross any moral barriers. Although a consensus on the impact of pain on the preborn would be a positive step in educating the public, the reality is that pain tolerance does not excuse the injustice perpetrated in abortion clinics.

The Church Cannot Remain Silent On Biblical Matters Because They Have Been Declared ‘Political’

Jesus called His followers the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Neither image suggests withdrawal. Both describe engagement that makes a difference. So the issue is not whether the church should become political. It is whether Christians will remain biblical when biblical truth has political consequences. Our calling is neither to become the mouthpiece of a party nor to retreat into silence. It is to stand on God’s word, defend what is right, confront what is wrong, and speak with courage — even when the culture would rather we remain silent.
