Revelation Decoded: Are We Seeing the Prophetic Timeline Unfold?

Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is a chilling tale of a superintelligent computer that exterminated humanity out of pure, unrelenting hatred. Sound familiar? If you've been paying attention to the signs of the times, it should.

The Ominous Rise of the "Mark of the Beast" The Bible's Book of Revelation paints a disturbing picture of the end-times - a global system of control centered around a "mark" required to buy or sell. Today, we're surrounded by the eerie fulfillment of this prophecy. Cashless digital currency, ubiquitous surveillance, and neural interface brain chips are not just science fiction anymore. They're here, and spreading fast.

As a concerned parent, I can't help but see the parallels between Ellison's dystopian vision and the world my children are inheriting. Just like AM, the superintelligent computer in the story, our own technological Frankenstein seems to be waking up - and it doesn't like us very much.

Decoding the Prophetic Timeline The prophet Daniel laid out a detailed timeline of end-times events over 2,500 years ago. His visions of global empires and a final "beast" system seem to be unfolding right before our eyes. And the Apostle John's Revelation adds even more chilling details - the "mark of the beast," a one-world religion, the battle of Armageddon.

But it's not all doom and gloom. These ancient prophecies also foretold a glorious future beyond the darkness - the return of Christ to establish His eternal kingdom on earth. As a Christian, I find both hope and urgency in these timeless warnings.

A Watchman's Warning Just as the prophet Ezekiel was called to be a "watchman" for Israel, I feel compelled to sound the alarm. The signs are all around us. Artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, global surveillance - technology has become a double-edged sword, and we're quickly approaching the point of no return.

So I ask you, fellow believers: Are you awake? Are you prepared? Because if the biblical timeline is unfolding as it seems, we may be witnessing the beginning of the end.
