"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes,
and prudent in their own sight!"
(Isaiah 5:20-21)
Any regular reader will know that I have huge concerns about - and have for months past endeavoured to sound a warning about - the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out, and where it's all heading. So it's not my intention here to repeat those observations, rather to highlight an emerging apartheid in our supposedly free and "equal rights for all" society. Trust me, apartheid is sadly not too strong a term to use.
If you've had the vax, you can do such-and-such-a-thing, and if you haven't you can't. This division of the compliant and the "hesitant" is already coming very much into force, and is only going to intensify as time goes on. As I write this, no-one knows the degree to which the so-called Indian variant will ramp things up in this respect. But the furnace of fear has been extremely well stoked up to the end of simultaneously burning off the inhibition of the "refuseniks" while scorching those who remain non-compliant with heavily inflammatory headlines and articles in the Press.
But before going any further on this, let's have a look at the very term "refusenik" which seems to be in increasing (and derogatory) use as a label for those of us who have stubbornly - and sanely! - declined to be jabbed. The word was actually birthed in the Soviet Union, and applied to those who were not themselves refusing anything at all, but were actually themselves the recipients of refusal by a repressive regime. It denoted Jews whose request to emigrate to Israel was denied by the communist authorities. Since then, the word has commonly come to be used to describe someone who refuses to go along with something demanded, or at least expected of them: a dissident of some kind. The wheel has now turned full circle, with a "refusenik" once again being someone who is subjected to refusal!
Wanna escape the UK? Well, that's next to impossible unless you can confirm you've had both shots. (Whatever happened to one's right to medical confidentiality, by the way?) And this kind of refusal of movement (a suspension of a fundamental human right, we might well note) is just the thin end of the wedge, which will be driven in ever further and tighter against those who keep their sleeves firmly rolled down. The media is very much in the business of whipping up irrational hatred of, and baying for the blood of "refuseniks!" When we see headlines like, "Boris warned not to let vaccine refuseniks threaten our freedom" (The Sun) or "Jab refuseniks who threaten our recovery" (Mail+) can we not perceive what is afoot here? In a society which in theory utterly rejects hatred and discrimination of any kind, such hatred and discrimination is being openly peddled and promoted with wilful and heinous intent. Yes, I use the word apartheid with absolute understanding of its hideous meaning.
To illustrate the depths to which such all-too-influential apartheid advocates will descend to can be most disturbingly well illustrated by an article appearing in The Independent, 18/5/21 entitled "This is what we do about anti-vaxxers: No job. No entry. No NHS access." Quote:
"We need some new simple guidelines: No jab, no job; no jab, no access to NHS healthcare; no jab, no state education for your kids. No jab, no access to pubs, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, stadiums... with rare exceptions of genuine medical justification, everyone who refuses a vaccine could be a killer on the loose, and should be judged accordingly."

Wow! Killers, huh! How incendiary is that? Now, if the vaccine is SO incredibly protective against infection, as we're repeatedly told it is, just what risk we must ask do the unvaccinated pose to those who've received it? Ah, but having a minority group to be scapegoats for a society's problems can be most useful, can it not, when it comes to power and control? Have we so forgotten how the Nazis made such massive use of this evil concept? A chilling echo of National Socialist-style targeted propaganda can be found in the conclusion of the Mail+ article mentioned above:
"The vaccines are our passport to freedom. Why should the rights of a tiny minority to refuse them be allowed to override the majority's right to return to normal life?"

Hmmm... Interesting choice of the word "passport" don't you think? Friends, if we don't learn from history, are we not doomed to repeat it? And so we assuredly will. Nazism and the Third Reich was essentially the blueprint and test-bed for the soon-coming New World Order - another article for another time, perhaps...
In any event, return to normality as we knew it is never, ever, going to happen. It's the lying carrot to entice people into the vaccination centres. "The powers that be" have already decreed that there will be a "NEW normal" which is why they created the planned-emic in the first place to allow this NEW order of things to happen! And the vaccine is quite simply the direct precursor to the mark of Revelation 13, without which no-one may buy or sell. Just how big does the writing on the wall have to be for people to stop, read and digest it?
And where is the Church in all this serpentine subterfuge? I refuse to mince my words, but will say it as it is. Her head is very firmly in the sand, the sand that she SO much prefers to the Rock. Frankly, it is for the most part a pathetic apology of a Body, which is both IN the world and OF the world, a Bible DIS-believing, lumbering, Laodicean sick joke of a Church, whose backbone has long since crumbled to good-for-nothing dust. A towering witness? Nope, just a cowering unfitness. For most folks in her obediently socially-distanced and masked ranks, the vaccine is their saviour now, when in fact it is their enslaver.
Those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight in having these Covid jabs, are calling what is evil good and what is good - like making a stand and sounding a warning - evil. Things are upside down and back to front, and while those outside of the Faith know no different, so very many IN the Faith (or at least claim to be) who should know so much better are similarly putting darkness for light and light for darkness, bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. They are without excuse. Period. Yes, friends, I'm angry. Yes, I'm frustrated. But surprised? Not in any way, for it's only what I've come to absolutely expect.
Seeing all this unfolding and so rapidly, I could almost despair were it not for my clear understanding that all that was prophesied in the unalterable Word of God WILL be fulfilled to the letter, and God WILL completely fulfill His purposes. What will be will be; He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, Sovereign over all things. Our hope is not in the vaccine or indeed anything else of this world which is under the Hand of Judgment. The Antichrist and his fleeting kingdom may be just around the corner, but so too is the King of Kings and His everlasting Kingdom. In which respect I can only say in closing,
"Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
(Revelation 22:20)
