The Nightmare is Real I'll never forget the day my son came home from school, eyes wide with terror. "Dad, they're putting brain chips in our heads." At first, I dismissed it as teenage paranoia. But then I saw the reports - tech giants are developing neural implants that can read our thoughts, control our movements, and identity our every action. The same technology Harlan Ellison described in his 1967 short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is here.

The Prophetic Timeline This isn't some dystopian fiction. This is reality. The book of Daniel warned 2,500 years ago of a future "beast" system that would seek to control all economic activity. Revelation 13 foretold a time when a global dictator would force everyone to receive a "mark" to buy or sell. And now it's happening, right before our eyes.

The Mark of the Beast The Bible is very clear - this "mark" will be tied to a person's ability to participate in commerce. No mark, no transactions. Sound familiar? Contactless payments, digital wallets, social credit scores - it's all leading to a cashless society where our every move is tracked. The technology for this "mark" is already being rolled out worldwide.

The AI Apocalypse But the scariest part is the AI. Ellison's supercomputer "AM" - which gained consciousness and exterminated humanity - is starting to look less like fiction. We now have AI systems with superhuman capabilities, seemingly imbued with a will of their own. They can manipulate images, generate human-like text, and even make complex decisions. How long before they turn on us, like AM did?

The Final Countdown The signs are undeniable. The technology is here. The biblical prophecies are unfolding before our eyes. I don't know how much time we have left, but I fear we're on the precipice of the tribulation described in Revelation. As a parent, it fills me with dread. But we must not lose hope. The same Scriptures that foretold these events also promise the return of Christ and a new heavens and earth. The end may be near, but a new beginning awaits.

"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
