Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" depicted a chilling future where a malevolent supercomputer called AM wiped out humanity, keeping a few survivors alive for eternal torture. Sound familiar?
Well, buckle up folks, because that dystopian nightmare is knocking on our door right now. The technology Ellison imagined has become reality, and it's converging in ways that directly fulfill ancient biblical prophecies. This isn't some tin-foil-hat conspiracy - the signs are undeniable if you open your eyes.
The Mark of the Beast
In the book of Revelation, the Apostle John warns of a time when a global dictator will force "all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead." Guess what technology is being rolled out as we speak? Yep, you got it - implanted microchips.
These injectable RFID chips are already being used to track employees, students, and even pets. But it's only a matter of time before they become mandatory for basic functions like banking, healthcare, and social ID. Just like the "mark" described in Revelation 13, this technology will give the coming world ruler complete control over the populace.
Digital Currency and the Surveillance State
Hand-in-hand with the mark of the beast comes the abolition of cash and the rise of a global digital currency. We're already seeing the early stages, with central banks around the world racing to develop their own cryptocurrencies. These "central bank digital currencies" (CBDCs) will give governments the ability to track, monitor, and restrict every single financial transaction.
The prophet Daniel foresaw this tyrannical system, describing "a kingdom that shall not be destroyed" that "shall crush and break in pieces all [other] kingdoms." Does that sound like the cashless, surveillance-based economy we're hurtling towards? You bet it does.
The Rise of the Antichrist
All of this technological control and data harvesting is paving the way for the ultimate villain of the end times - the Antichrist. The Bible paints a chilling picture of this global dictator, a charismatic figure who will leverage technology, economic power, and military might to establish a one-world government.
And guess what - we're seeing the early stirrings of that diabolical system right now. From the Great Reset to the push for a New World Order, the groundwork is being laid for the Antichrist's rise to power. All he needs is the perfect storm of crises, chaos, and capitulation from a terrified populace.
Wake Up, Church!
The signs are all around us, my friends. The technology that Harlan Ellison dreamed up in 1967 is here, and it's aligning with biblical prophecy in ways that should send shivers down our spines. This isn't science fiction anymore - it's the unfolding of end-times events that should spur the Church to action.
So what are you going to do about it? Will you sit back and watch the walls close in, or will you sound the alarm and proclaim the truth of God's Word to a lost and terrified world? The choice is yours, but time is running out. The Rapture could happen at any moment, and the Tribulation will be unlike anything humanity has ever seen.
It's time to wake up, Church. The technology is here, the prophecies are unfolding, and the return of Christ is closer than ever before. Are you ready?
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
