Guillermo Maldonado, the Florida megachurch pastor and self-declared apostle who hosted President Donald Trump at an election rally earlier this year, told his congregation not to take the soon-to-be available vaccine for the COVID-19 virus because it is part of a plan to prepare people to accept the biblical Mark of the Beast.
Maldonado, who mocked members of his own congregation for staying away from church in the early days of the pandemic, used his Sunday sermon to warn that the COVID-19 vaccine will "alter your DNA" as globalists set about "preparing the structure for the Antichrist."
"People, I want you to look at me," Maldonado said, as he frequently switched between speaking English and Spanish. "That is exactly what is happening with COVID-19. They're preparing the structure for the Antichrist. How? The vaccine. They're gonna demand for you to have the vaccine in your passport, otherwise you will not be able to travel. Because they are preparing the way."
"The vaccines, they are made to alter your DNA," he continued. "They are made to track you down. Do not [take] the vaccine. Believe in the blood of Jesus. Believe in divine immunity."
