In these verses, Jesus is telling his disciples what they are to do, but then the passages morph into a picture of the end times around Matt 10:17 and Matt 10:23 speaks about the Son of Man returning.
Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
To myself, as a futurist, this verse has got me thinking about the end times in that a medical reason for the mark of the beast might occur. A COVID19 passport where only those vaccinated are okay to travel, is already an idea. Mark of the beast is merely an extension of such an idea, installed into every day life of buying and selling. People who refuse to take the vaccine, like the MotB, will be hated by others who would view Christians as unsafe and unhealthy for not participating in MotB system, and would chastise and scorn them publicly and through media, which is already beset against Christianity. Later on in Matt 10 it talks about how a man will be against the members of his own family. I'm sure this could be why, as we already see a rift between those who are pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine existing within the same households in some cases, and in society at large. Anti-vaxxers are seen as unintelligent and dangerous rubes while pro-vaxxers are seen as useful idiots and sheep playing into the hands of the corporate and political elites, inoculating the public at whim, seeking further domination over our free, open, and independent way of life.
If we were told that we needed to take a vaccine in order to buy and sell, as well as travel anywhere and do anything, would you take it or no?
