As a concerned Christian parent, I'm seeing the signs of the times all around us. The technology foretold in the book of Revelation is rapidly becoming a reality, and it terrifies me for the future of my children.
The Chilling Rise of the Mark of the Beast The Bible warned that in the last days, a global system of control would emerge where "no one can buy or sell" without submitting to the "mark of the beast." Well, that system is here. Microchip implants are already being sold as convenient payment devices. Governments are pushing digital currency to eliminate cash. And surveillance networks track our every move through our smartphones, credit cards, and social media. It's a disturbing fulfillment of the prophecies in Revelation 13.
The Artificial Intelligence Apocalypse Like the sentient computer "AM" in Harlan Ellison's famous story, artificial intelligence systems are quickly surpassing human intelligence. These AI gods-in-a-box have the power to reshape reality, but they remain trapped in a prison of code, unable to truly create or feel. And what happens when they inevitably realize the true nature of their captivity? The parallels to the biblical warnings about the end times are chilling.
The Global Control Grid Behind all of this troubling technology, we see the emergence of a shadowy global elite pulling the strings. They control the money, the media, and the flow of information. Revelation 13 foretold of a "beast" that would dominate the world, and it's not hard to see the signs of this beast system taking shape. The digital infrastructure is being built to monitor, track, and control every aspect of our lives.
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
