Covid-19 666 vaccine rebuked by Moegeng Moegeng prayer
Chief Justice Moegeng Moegeng ‘sent fire’ as he prayed in an event at Tembisa in Gauteng province held at a hospital ceremony. A video clip of the prayer made the rounds on social media platforms at the end of 2020. In his defense chief justice responded briefly saying that there are no set rules on how a judge should behave as he is within his rights of freedom of religion and expression.
South Africans reacted to the Moegeng Moegeng prayer because of the position he holds in the counties judiciary as the Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa since 2011. Chief Moegeng has shown excellence professionally through out his career and kept his faith in God, this incident reminds us Christians of Daniel in the Bible.
The fire prayer
In the heart felt and charged prayer video clip, Moegeng is heard saying “ …. I lock out every demon of covid-19, I lock out every vaccine that is not of you (God). If there be any vaccine that is of the devil, meant to infuse triple-six in the lives of the people, meant to corrupt their DNA, any such vaccine Lord God Almighty may it be destroyed by fire, in the name of Jesus“.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
Now to us believers, a prayer is one of the ways we communicate with our God. It is in prayer where we address anything that gives anxiety just as its states in the Bible in the book of Philippians 4 verse 6. In prayer we present our requests to God about our lives and the situations that we find ourselves in while also encouraging one another. From that stand point Chief Justice Moegeng was well within his right to pray according to his chosen faith as any other would do.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
Socials React:
Many took to twitter and Facebook to support him after the backlash he received while others questioned him. A formal complaint was levied against him by a health advocacy groups citing he might influence the public against vaccination efforts. Chief Justice Moegeng continued to stand by his prayer unapologetically saying he is not willing to stop praying or take direction from just anybody on how he ought to pray. Moegeng later also clarified his stance that he is not against all vaccinations, in his prayer he did not mention any particular name or say all vaccines are of devil influence. On social media Twitter some responded and said;
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
What is the significance of tripple-six ?
Moegeng stated that these are the end times according to Christians. We assume he might be referring to the end times as stated in the bible in the book of Revelations 13. It states that there will be a rise of a beast, that will force the adoption of a number of the beast ; tripple six , in order to get access to recourses to make a living.
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
