Florida megachurch pastor tells congregation NOT to take the COVID-19 vaccine and to 'believe in divine immunity', falsely claiming it will alter DNA and be used to track people while leading the way for the AntiChrist

A Florida megachurch pastor has urged his congregants against taking the COVID-19 vaccine,  falsely claiming it will 'alter your DNA' and be used to track people down, and to 'believe in divine immunity' instead.

Guillermo Maldonado, who is the founding Pentecostal pastor of King Jesus International Ministry based in Miami and is an avid Trump supporter, preached conspiracies about the vaccine to his congregation on Sunday.  

'That is exactly what’s happening with COVID-19. They’re preparing the structure for the anti-Christ,' he said in a live-streamed bilingual sermon.

'The vaccine. They’re going to demand for you to have a vaccine in your passport and seal it. Otherwise, you will not able to travel. Because they’re preparing the way in the vaccine. The are made to alter your DNA,' he added.

The FDA is slated to make its recommendation today on the Pfizer vaccine, which has already been approved in the United Kingdom and Canada. 

After the recommendation the agency will decide whether to officially approve it for distribution in the US.

In his sermon Maldonado gave an example of a girl who allegedly stopped speaking after receiving the vaccine.

'I heard of a case of a nine-year-old girl. She got the vaccine. She could speak normally, she was a normal girl. Suddenly she stopped talking. Because those vaccines are made to alter your DNA,' he said.

'They’re made to track you down. Do not take the vaccine. Believe in the blood of Jesus. Believe in divine immunity,' he added.

A slew of scientists have already said that the vaccine will not change a person’s DNA. 

The Pfizer vaccine works by injecting a fragment of COVID-19’s genetic material to instruct the body to produce a protein present on the surface of coronavirus. The immune system will then recognize it and produce antibodies against the protein. 

In his sermon he said that God warned him about a 'satanic global agenda' that seeks to establish one worldwide religion and bring the Christian church under governmental control.

'They want to stop President Trump because he’s against that agenda,' Maldonado said.

His preaching was based on Bible verses in the book of Revelations about the 'mark of the beast', which warn of a future where the Antichrist takes over the world’s economy. Pentecostals have speculated that the mark of the beast will appear on earth as a vaccine or a microchip implanted in humans. 

Maldonado is a popular televangelist and author with great influence in the Latino evangelical world.

His church is believed to be one of the largest in the country bringing thousands to its services before the pandemic.

In March Maldonado was slammed for saying true faithful believers wouldn’t be afraid to attend church in person during shutdowns.

In the pandemic the church reportedly received between $2million and $5million in forgivable loans under federal rescue legislation that was meant to aid crippled small businesses, according to AP.

His influence could be devastating for congregants as COVID-19 has hit Latino communities hard and Miami-Dade County, where the church is based, has recorded more than 246,000 cases and more than 3,900 deaths as of Wednesday.

Overall Florida has recorded more than one million coronavirus cases and more than 19,000 deaths.

'When a preacher with his stature mixes conspiracy theory with end time speculation and claims to have heard directly from God on social-political matters, it becomes exceedingly difficult for the faithful in the pews to discern between what is scripture, social commentary, political fantasy, and outright conspiracy,' Lloyd D. Bara, an assistant professor of religion at Amherst College and an expert on Latinx Christian communities, said to the Huffington Post.
