Brother, Many of us think that time is nearly over and new tests to our remaining faith have arrived and this is true. Yet almost over still could be awhile. Revelation, Daniel, the Gospels all predict the end times and warn to be ready for the return of Jesus Christ our Lord. Many Christians have the Holy Ghost and are able to discern truth from untruth in their lives whether they are young Christians or old. When a Christian burdens down the clear message of Salvation in Jesus Christ with a perceived understanding of the end times prophecy, they may be taking away from the chapter and adding a chapter that is just not meant to be. It is my belief that this possibility is far greater than the fear of a born again Christian partaking of anything physical in this earth which can be repented of if the Bible speaks of it clearly as sin or if the Holy Ghost puts conviction into the heart of an individual soul to do or not do. We must eat of His flesh and drink of His blood to have life eternal.
Dear Annissa ,i am so sorry for you ,you broke my heart with your post ,please please please dont give up ,God is right there with you ,He will not leave you i promise ,pray to Him ever day , try to find 5 mins to read the Bible every day , i know when this life gets me down i go straight to the Psalms or to Isaiah ,please know that im sure every one who reads your post will keep you in their hearts and prayers and please be SURE ,YOU ARE NOT ALONE ,God knows your pain ,lean on Him and His Son ,they will get you through this ,you may have to be patient but be sure better days will come ,trust in His love for you ,He wont let you down ,may God bless you and all yours and may He keep you all safe and well and very close to Him .
To add to the details Adam stated for you. I was going to just make a post about this but as I see your question I am replying to you.
I must speak from the heart. This is no joke. I just watched a man filled with the Holy Ghost preach for over 5 hours. A lot of what he stated I already knew. Though he shed light on numerous things. Here is just one thing in Scripture I believe should be known. Not just for you but all my brothers and sisters in Christ and anyone that may see this.
Revelation 18:23-24. And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy "sorceries" were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
In this verse the word "sorceries" is the Greek word "pharmakeia". Which we get the English word pharmacy from. Meaning the use or administering of drugs, poisoning, or sorcery. And there is known to be the cells of aborted fetuses in the "vaccine" which links to verse 24.
That being just one parallel I was led to. As I said before I would never tell anyone to get this "shot". Keep your faith, and trust, in the Lord with all your heart.
As I said I will not condemn someone if they got the shot. Though I am not the one who is on the Throne in Heaven whom people will have to stand before.
I'm not going to seem all wise and say I know this is the mark. Though what if it really is? Would you jeopardize your soul? To be accepted by the world? Or would you rather be accepted by the Lord.
I will apologize beforehand as I don't want controversy. I know we must all make our own decisions. Though I feel I must post these things.
Over 700 million people have been vaccinated and over 15 million people a day are receiving the shot. And the rate is going up.
That's a good question. Others have asked that too and there was a recent discussion about that here: Link
I personally don't think it's the mark of the beast, but that doesn't mean I'm ok with taking it. I don't see the need to take an experimental injection for a virus that only 7% of the US population got in more than a year. 93% have not gotten it. But even if you're within the unlucky 7% that get it, it's 99.9% survivable. Only those with other health risks, obesity, etc are at higher risk. So, why should I rush to take an experimental injection that 90% have said gave them side effects, change their DNA, and a % have died from. So, I risk death to protect against death? Meanwhile there is already a very cheap medicine that's been around 60+ years that has shown 100% positive results in hundreds of studies involing tens of thousands of people across the world with no downside. So, there's already a medicine that hugely speeds recovery, but because some bad players released fake news about it and got the evil media to back their lie, people got afraid and ruled it out. What a twisted world we live in where satan deceives everyone with so many lies. It takes a lot of research to figure out what the truth is and when you do, you still will have people claiming you don't have the truth, that what they saw on TV is instead the 'truth'. God help us.

The reference you gave for the Book of Ecclesiastes has indeed got 17 verses. But the Apocryphal Book of Ecclesiasticus has 19 verses. Is this what you're seeing? This latter book was not included in the Canon of Scripture as many other apocryphal books, but you will find it (& others) in some bibles, such as the Catholic Bible or as a separate addition to the Bible.
Please enlighten me about the 8th Chapter of Eccl. It contains 17 verses in the K J V Holy Bible which I have. It is published by Bible Soceity of India. But there are 19 verses in this. Will you please explain why the difference is there.
A great outcry; noise; exclamation; vociferation, made by a loud human voice continued or repeated, or by a multitude of voices. It often expresses complaint and urgent demand.
Just some morning thoughts.
God bless our meditations
I will be praying for you and your family.
