This is definitely a forerunner to the Mark of the Beast, I am sure.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Spoke as a dragon which is a figure for something.

Deut. 32:33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

Their wine was Poison of dragons. Same figure is also said to be the same as the venom from asps which are snakes. Perhaps the brood of vipers maybe?
Need more context. Deut 32:21 says They have moved God to jealousy.

Same here.

Psalm 78:56 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

Jer 8:19 Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

Jer 10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

However, just to make it more clear, My point is that there is no mention of vacinnes in the bible. None.

The sorcerers, however, are mentioned more than once in the bible and those mentions always lead to works which is what Paul said that certain men of James were bewitching the Galatians with.

Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: Acts 15:14-16
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. *In that day* will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old Amos 9:10-11
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18)

Lurker, without getting into this deeply, I would just again say that these goats are guilty of goatness because that's what they want. "because he hath not believed" Jn 3:18

Psalm 22:9 But thou art He that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

Having looked at this again, and the Bible blessings for those who stand with Israel and curses for those who divide the land, despite the statement by the Messianic Jew, who does have in many ways a good solid Bible based ministry, and who does exalt the Lord Jesus Christ, I still have to conclude that the USA and President Trump, have opened themselves up for some natural disasters in the USA, and that much to the joy of certain commentators here from Nebraska and other places, his (President Trump’s) re-election is not totally secure, and as a judgment the Marxist globalist Biden / Harris could yet still be voted in. Tragically in1930’s Germany, Adolph Hitler was voted in power in a popular election, before he took supreme control, and this was at a time of crisis, like there is today. You should vote for the lesser of two evils in this forthcoming election, but Christians should prepare for the death and judgment of their nation, and for persecution.

Strong drink in Scriptures was "intoxicant, or intensely alcoholic liquor" and used as morphine today.

In Isa. 28:7 when the priest and the prophet are said to have erred through strong drink...

Were they making bad decisions from being drunk while preaching or were they serving soberly the congregation a bunch of lies? The priests error is described also in Isaiah 1:4.

Furthermore, Isa 28:15 says They have made a covenant with death( letter that kills, 2 Cor 3:6), and with hell are they were at agreement;

This is what they thought. "When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies(Rom 10:3 self righteousness works of the law) our refuge, and under falsehood(own cisterns Jer. 2:12-14) have we hid ourselves:

Same topic spoken here as well.

Mic 2:10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

2:11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith,

Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood

Are they different or one in the same?

Scripture always validates Scripture and we see the same spoken of here.

Gal 2:16 that we might be justified by THE faith OF Christ, and not by the works of the law:

And Paul said in Gal. 2:20 that he now lived by THE faith OF the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. So does Gal 2:16 tell us how he once lived as described in Rom 7:5 as fruit unto death?

Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by THE faith OF Him.

Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and the Gentiles unto whom now I send thee

Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is IN ME.

The faith(Fem. noun, not a verb)is said to be in THE Speaker here and if we Compare what Paul shared in Acts 26 to this CF, it all ties in nicely.

Isa 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

and no, Replacement Theologians, God does not lie, this cannot be allegorised away, as Joel 3:1,2 says clearly that God will deal with those nations.

One thing to consider is that Peter claimed in Acts 2:16, that Joel 2:28 was fulfilled at that point in time. That gives us a solid beacon for an event in time to work from, namely Pentecost, which cannot be disputed in the biblical timeline. From that we can learn more of the nations spoken of in Joel 3:1 and 3:2.

What about that land?

Jer 2:7 but when ye entered, **ye defiled my land**, and made mine heritage an abomination.

How was the land defiled? With what?

Jer 3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

Every move by them is a calculated one.

Good Morning James,
No, your guess is based upon what you think I am saying, that I'm not. I wasn't looking for proof texts on plagues? Holding an historacist interpretation of prophetic scripture, I was looking at the time line of history. I believe the 6th trumpet (civil judgments on usurpers) and 6th vial (judgments upon false churches) is now effecting the eastern section of the former R. Empire, places visited in Paul's missionary journey's there. But that is why you ended your sentence with a ? isn't it?
On the Lord's day the topic's under my consideration began in Ezekiel 9 and Isa 6 but the application was relative to 1 Co 11:3,10 as I was trying to understand what the LORD was showing me in answer to prayer. The loss of the visible church Ephes 4:1-13 is the real judgment in the west, but that started long before the "virus".
I post here because of loneliness and a want of fellowship but not unlike other matters of choice it the best of 2 evils. Evil is not a choice for a Christian. There are many precepts violated.
Forgive my lack of modesty as the weaker vessel.
