We Won’t Force Vaccine… But You Cannot Buy Or Sell Without It

Although Health Ministry Director Hezy Levy yesterday insisted to reporters that “we won’t force people to take a vaccine. Israeli law doesn’t allow for it,” speaking before the Special Knesset Coronavirus Committee chaired by MK Yifat Shasha-Biton, Sheba Medical Center Chief Medical Officer and Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Eyal Zimlichman listed measures that are being planned to “maneuver” the population into vaccinating as a way of regaining freedom of movement.

The issue of how to “motivate” vaccine compliance has generated increasing interest, with commentators such as Mike Cernovich writing: “Government won’t force you to take vaccine. Amazon will. Airlines will. Banks will. You won’t be able to buy, sell, or trade without the vaccine.”

As if underscoring Cernovich’s words, Dr. Zimlichman told the committee: “Another thing that will apparently come into our lives, starting in small numbers already in January which is soon, and that’s the vaccine.

“If we’re discussing how to create motivation for Israeli citizens to vaccinate, I agree, you can’t force the population; it won’t work. We can talk about it until tomorrow, it won’t work.

“What is possible is to create motivation. Whoever is vaccinated will automatically receive ‘green status’. Therefore, you may vaccinate, and receive Green Status to go freely in all the green zones: They’ll open for you cultural events, they’ll open to you the shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants.

“You may decide you’re not vaccinating, and if you do want to enter these areas you’ll need to submit to a PCR test, and therefore I believe people will understand by themselves that the vaccine will return them to regular life and they’ll vaccinate themselves, without our obligating them.

“But the idea we’re putting out is actually something that’s starting already now, and we’re floating an initial pilot we’re testing and are ready to start with, based on the PCR and based on antigen, assuming it will be authored by the Health Ministry, we’re in the process with the Ministry, and of course serology, and very quickly, already from January to add the vaccines – whoever is vaccinated may enter those green areas, that ‘safe zone’.

“Assuming we’re discussing a protracted period when part of the population will be vaccinated and part won’t, for a year even, we see those areas growing in size, and those people who are vaccinated receive the pass to enter those green areas in the cities from the south to the north of the country.”


HD Editors Note: Why Is This News Biblically Relevant?

Those who follow Bible Prophecy understand that a time will come where a world leader, the “antichrist,” will set up a global system where participation and compliance are mandatory.

This man will require all the inhabitants of the earth to receive a “mark.” Refusal to take this “mark” will cut that person off from being able to “buy or sell” (Revelation 13:16-18) and will cause them to be sentenced to death (Rev. 20:4). However, acceptance of this mark, which is directly tied to the worship of the “antichrist,” will cut a person off entirely from eternal life with Jesus Christ and Salvation (Rev. 14:9-11).

Revelation 13:16-18 KJV – “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 number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

We are in no way saying that the Coronavirus vaccine is the mark of the beast; it is absolutely not. But the COVID crisis has been jaw-droppingly exploited by globalists worldwide in a manner that is too reminiscent of Revelation 13 to simply ignore.

Who would have thought that the entire world population would be so willing to give up their freedoms and that it would happen so rapidly?

People are becoming used to a lack of freedom. Dare I say that many actually enjoy putting themselves “above” others who do not show the same compliance. They enjoy berating anti-maskers and soon those that refuse to be vaccinated. They enjoy the “special privileges” of fundamental freedoms they regain by going along.

We now see people reporting their neighbors for not following restrictions! This too is quite reminiscent of the antichrist’s rule during the Tribulation because the Bible explains that those that don’t submit will be “betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends” (Luke 21:16).

Christians saved on earth today should not be paranoid about “accidentally” taking the mark of the beast. The mark will not be introduced until the Tribulation. The Bible clearly outlines that Christians will be taken out of the earth prior to the Tribulation, in the Rapture of the Church.

Revelation 3:10 KJV – “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”

There are many reasons believers may choose to refuse the current COVID vaccination, not the least of which is the use of abortion-derived cell lines in the production of some COVID vaccines. That being said, we would encourage every follower of Jesus to do their own research to satisfy themselves, but not use this as a point of division within the body of Christ.

What we see today is an astonishing and clear Harbinger of events to come!

‘They Want Us To Shut Our Mouths’: Large Banks Debanked, Discriminated Against Customers For Christian Views

Nine of the nation’s largest banks relied on subjective decision-making and the opinions of advocacy organizations to terminate customer accounts or deny service to potential customers—often because of Biblical beliefs on key moral issues—between 2020 and September 2025. The findings, released Wednesday, were part of a report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that charters, regulates, and supervises banks and federal savings associations.

No More Excuses Or Theological Gymnastics: Christians Are Called To Love The Jewish People

I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

In A Culture Of Trendy Lies, It Is Time To Speak Up More Clearly In Support Of Israel And The Jewish People

We must remember our friends and our allies around the world—particularly Israel and the Jewish people, the one distinct ethnic group of people about which God tells us in His Word to bless and to support. In Genesis 12:3, what did God say to Abraham? “I will bless those who bless you.” Yet many people these days, including a lot of Christians, think that it is trendy, intellectual-sounding, or will garner clicks to oppose things all related to the Jews. Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world. 2025 was designated by the Anti-Defamation League as the deadliest year of anti-Semitism. Three months after October 7th in 2023, anti-Semitism had risen 360%.
