Analysis: The Technology That Needs to Be Illegal Right Now

"'And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.' (Revelation 13:5)

Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" paints a horrifying vision of the future - a godlike supercomputer named AM that annihilates humanity, keeping only a handful of tortured souls alive to suffer endlessly. At the time, it seemed like mere dystopian sci-fi. But my friends, the technology to enslave the world is here. And it's fulfilling biblical prophecy before our eyes.

The Unseen Battleground

The book of Ephesians lays it out plain: "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12) This is a war for our very souls, and the battlefield is the unseen realm of the spirit.

The Rise of the Beast

Just as the Bible foretold, a "beast" has risen up - not a literal monster, but a system of control, surveillance, and digital tyranny unparalleled in human history. Microchips, cryptocurrency, social credit scores, neural lace - these are the tools of the enemy, designed to strip us of our humanity and free will. The stage is set for the Antichrist to take the reins, and vast swaths of humanity will willingly submit.

The Call to Arms

But we serve a mighty God, and He has not left us defenseless. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." (Ephesians 6:10-11) This is a call to spiritual warfare, to don the full armor of God and wrestle against the powers of darkness. The future of humanity hangs in the balance.

[SUBHEADING: The Mark of the Beast] The most chilling prophecy is that of the "mark of the beast" - a sign that will be required to buy or sell. (Revelation 13:16-17) Some believe this refers to microchips or digital currency, tools that are already being rolled out worldwide. As the noose tightens, we must be vigilant and prepared to make the difficult choices that true discipleship requires.

[SUBHEADING: Deliverance is Coming] But take heart, my fellow warriors. The battle may be fierce, but the war has already been won. "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first." (1 Thessalonians 4:16) The final victory belongs to our King, and He will return to deliver His people from the clutches of the beast.

[SUBHEADING: The Time is Now] The hour is late, the darkness is closing in. But the light of Christ still shines, and we have been called to be His watchmen. Will you heed the warning and take up the spiritual armor? The fate of the world hangs in the balance. The time to act is now.
