Christian Author and talk show host Hank Hanegraaff asserted that he does not believe the coronavirus vaccine would be the mark of the beast. This comes after rapper and singer Kanye West made comments linking a potential vaccine to the mark of the beast.
When I was growing up, I had a friend down the street whose mother loved puzzles. Really big, complicated puzzles with very small pieces. Watching the process, I learned that a puzzle master must consult the picture on the top of the box as the template for the final product.
The same is true of the end- time prophetic puzzle. The end- time picture set forth in Scripture is the picture on top of the box. When all the pieces are finally in place, that’s what it will look like. As we look at our world today, events are beginning to closely match the picture on the puzzle box. All the puzzle pieces aren’t in place, but the corners and edges have taken form. The framework is set. The center of the puzzle is ready to be filled in.

Rather than add to our panic, there’s something about the strange familiarity of this time that should help us endure and survive it. We know this story. We’ve played it out a hundred times in books and films. And just as children learn through earnest play, we should know from those tellings what’s needed to get through this.
A new Lifeway Research Center survey found that eight in ten pastors believe the current events in the world are a sign of the end times.
