As a great friend used to say to such things:
Oh, well.
Except those who know Christ and the power of His resurrection.
If God chooses you, nothing can take you away from Him.
"Ghoulish glee"??? Hardly! What would be unchristian is to ignore Christ's teachings and Paul's admonitions like:
When we watch and are aware about the times and seasons and the imminent return of our Lord, we are spurred towards winning souls for Christ and making every day count for the glory of God. Will you be a wise or foolish servant?
If God chooses you, nothing can take you away from Him.
That is not what the bible teaches, especially when discussing the MOTB.
Rev 14:
9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
We forget that people have been conditioned to this WAY before COVID19 happened. Hasn't everyone pretty much already been vaccinated against smallpox, measles, TB, etc.? What's one more? We get a flu vaccine every year now. Kids can't attend school unless they have had their shots. Heck...even our pets have to get rabies vaccines! What made this one different was the lockdowns, masks, panic and blame-game that was POLITICALLY motivated. They got rid of Trump and put the senile puppet in his place, right?
It is one thing to point out one’s personal interpretation and quite another to constantly look forward to news of tragedies happening to other people.
Look up! Your salvation draweth nigh. Anxiously awaiting His return
John 10
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand
Don’t worship the beast but follow the Shepherd! Freegards!

Don’t worship the beast but follow the Shepherd! Freegards!
Theophilus, yesterday was the Beast’s Sun day. The Beasts first work day of its week.
Yesterday,to the Father, was His New Moon Day. The first day of His month. 5th month of telling time as in the days of Moses. Or 11th month if telling time as in the days of Noah.
According to scripture, not one of His 6 work days or His 7th Day Sabbath.
A day that commemorates Genesis 1:1, John 1:1, and even John 1:14, once a month.
It’s a day the gate of the inner court of the temple was to be open (it was to be closed the 6 work days, but open on the New Moon Day and Sabbath days-Ezekiel 46:1)
It was a day for banquets.
It was a day for markets to be closed (Amos 8:5)
Today is the Father’s 1st work day.
Today is the Beast’s 2nd work day.
Two competing versions. Two competing systems.
Some may be wandering after the Beast, and worshipping the Beast and not even know it.
The Beast is selling a different version of events,even time.
The world buys it. Each and every day.
Today isn’t Moon Day July 12 to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Today is the 2nd day of the 5th month, as in the days of Moses.
Or the 2nd day of the 11th month as in the days of Noah.
The first work day. The day that commemorates Let there be Light.
The Beast is selling Moon Day.
Who is buying what the Beast sells?
The world is buying what the Beast sells, including most of the Shepherd’s sheep.
And who is doing that here? Do you not understand that we SHOULD be alert and aware of the times and seasons of Christ's imminent return - as HE said we should?
Are you sure you're not the one "looking forward" to such news? When I was a Catholic I thought that the only sure way I could go to heaven was to be a martyr. I praise the Lord that He showed me the truth of the gospel and now I know I have eternal life through faith alone in Christ alone.
Ezekiel 3:17-19 - Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Isaiah 62:6 - I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
Ezekiel 33:6 - But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Amos 3:7 - Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Luke 21:36 - Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Romans 16:17 - Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
2 Corinthians 2:11 - Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hebrews 13:17 - Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
