PART FOUR, ENTRY 4 (VIDEOS): THERE ARE FROGS IN A POT OF WATER WORLDWIDE

PLEASE CHALLENGE MY BLOG ENTRIES WITH PRAYER & TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY, RESEARCH, AND COMPARE MY WORDS WITH THE WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE, TO ENSURE THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT. 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  2 Timothy 2:15 

 

16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666. Revelation 13:16-18

The number of the beast is 666, 1805–1810. By William Blake (1757-1827)

Since my early teens, I have known about and been fascinated with the prophesy about The Number Of The Beast-666 and the end times. How is it that one person, the false prophet (Revelation 13:16-18) could convince, coerce, and/or force the entire global population to:

1. receive the mark! And,

2. how will the false prophet be allowed to convert the entire world’s monetary system, with each country’s permission, and create an one world monetary system, where the citizens of the world would either volunteer and/or be required to implant some sort of biotechnology in their body in order to buy or sell anything?  

 I simply could not conceive any situation(s) in the United States and/or our global society, where people want to or be required to accept such an invasive procedure.

But now that I am older and more mature, both in age and in Christ, I can not only imagine how it can happen, I now see the truth God had Apostle John and Daniel prophesize in the book of Revelation and book of Daniel, respectively.

One of the main issues, I believe, why I could not think of any way this could happen is because of the time period I was born. According to the chart below, and others I have looked at, I am a member of Generation X (1965-1979). There are other charts that says I am a member of the Baby Boomer II generation. Whichever it is, when I was growing up, I was part of what I call the Post-Analog generation. What I mean by that is, when I was in elementary school, the abacus and slide rules were still in use. Then sometime during the mid-1970s, calculators (invented ca. early 1960s) became affordable to the mass public, and in middle/high school we started using them.

 Which Generation are You? 

Generation Name	Births Start	Births End	Youngest Age Today*	Oldest Age Today*
The Lost Generation The Generation of 1914	1890	1915	105	130
The Interbellum Generation	1901	1913	107	119
The Greatest Generation	1910	1924	96	110
The Silent Generation	1925	1945	75	95
Baby Boomer Generation	1946	1964	56	74
Generation X (Baby Bust)	1965	1979	41	55
Xennials	1975	1985	35	45
Millennials Generation Y, Gen Next	1980	1994	26	40
iGen / Gen Z	1995	2012	8	25
Gen Alpha	2013	2025	1	7

Then in 1985 home computers (computers first invented, 1943-1946) became available to the mass public, which was two years after I had graduated from high school. The world began to transition from the analog age (prior to the 1980s) to the digital age or Post-Analog (ca. 1980s). My generational peers and every generation living (see chart below) before mine were alive during a unique and exciting time in the advancement of technology. It was no longer available only to the government, major corporations, and the rich. Now, the common layperson in Western society, no matter what their station in life was, had access to this new technology.

Today, the Xennials (1975-1985), Millennials (1980-1994), iGen or Gen Z (1995-2012), and Gen Alpha’s (2013-2025) have been born or will be born during an age where the advancements in technology (i.e. home computers, iPad and Tablets, smartphones, and digital TV) is just the status quo, and is as common and unnoteworthy as the abacus, slide rule or calculator had been for Gen Xer’s and Xennials.

Why is the subject about different generations important to the topic about the Mark of the Beast? The reason why is perspective. For Generation Xers, and more specifically, the generations before, a lot of the new technologies we have today, as innovated, exciting, and the convenience they offer, there are some from these generations that have at a minimum apprehension, if not a form of aversion towards it.

MIT researchers develop temporary tattoos that can control smartphones 

YouTube Channel-Dezeen: "The team, led by PhD student Cindy Hsin-Liu Kao, designed the DuoSkin transfers to look like gold and silver flash tattoos, popular at music festivals. But unlike regular stick-ons, DuoSkin is made from gold metal leaf. As a conductive material, it can be hooked up to an electronic circuit that responds to touch. In the current prototype, the gold leaf traces are connected to a microcontroller and wireless communication unit that enables interaction with other devices."

"Whereas Millennials and subsequent generations perspective about “new” technologies are viewed as normal everyday banal items. They are children of the digital age, and did not and do not have to become accustomed to the fast pace developments and innovations.

This brings me to my main topic, the Number of the Beast-666. As you may had seen in the videos in my last blog entries, THERE ARE FROGS IN A POT OF WATER entries; rice size microchips implants, quantum dots, electronic tattoos, brain microchips implants, and the Aadhaar biometric system are all slowly but surely being transitioned in the United States and the world commerce and medical industries.

Gen Xers and prior generational groups will more than likely be hesitant or may elect out right not to accept any type of biometric implant technology, whereas Millennials and those yet to be born will most likely accept an implant because it is part of their status quo. 

And those who decide not to accept a microchip implant, quantum dot, electronic tattoo, or whatever new technology in biometrics is invented, will either be coerced or feel that there is no other choice, but accept a biometric implant because as it is stated in the prophecy in Revelations 13, "no one will be able to buy or sell unless they take the mark."

Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:9-10:

 

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

If Christians believe life and society is against them now because they are Christians, and their values have been lost, they have not seen or experienced anything yet! Many of the issues some Christians are fighting against or for, will pale in comparison to what is yet to come. Actually, in Matthew 24:1-8 before the Great Tribulation, Jesus prophesize about what He calls the Beginning of Sorrows.

Matthew 24:1-8:

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

My next blog entry is titled Part Five, Entry 1 (Videos): Epoch of Laodicea - Pangs of the Apostate Church in Modernity; I am going to talk about what I have been witnessing in today’s church, and generally speaking, how some Christians have lost their focus on the Word of God (Proverbs 16:3), their purpose (tell people about the love of God, Matthew 24:14), and that God is a Just God (like a parent that need to sometimes discipline their child when they have done wrong. He does not punish out of hate, but out of love for you (Hebrews 12:4-6).

 

The Stream - Aadhaar: The world’s largest biometric identification system

YouTube Channel-Al Jazeera English:  “The Stream - Aadhaar: The world’s largest biometric identification system 1.15 billion. That's how many people the Indian government says are now enrolled in its biometric identification system, Aadhaar. The programme aims to make the provision of government services more efficient, while providing ID cards for hundreds of millions of Indians who previously had none. Critics note that while the programme was always supposed to be voluntary, there have been recent moves to make it mandatory for certain services - including receiving pensions, food rations and free school lunches. And for those who already have an Aadhaar number, it is now compulsory to use it while filing taxes. Concerns have also been raised about the strength of Aadhaar's digital infrastructure after multiple instances of people's identities and personal data being leaked. Other errors in the system, such as biometric authentication failures due to weak internet connectivity, often prevent poor families from getting welfare entitlements they need. The Stream - Aadhaar: The world’s largest biometric identification system. So, is  Aadhaar doing more harm than good? And is India's digital infrastructure equipped to handle the size and scale of the programme?” 

India's Unique ID System: The Largest Social Experiment on Earth 

YouTube Channel-CGAP: "As many as 500 million people in India have no form of official identification, making it difficult for them to access all kinds of public services. The goal of Aadhaar, the world's largest biometric database, is to get every Indian resident a unique ID number. Nandan Nilekani, Chairman of the Unique ID Indian Authority, is the driving force behind the program. He hopes that Aadhaar can use technology to "help solve very very fundamental social problems." Specifically, having a unique ID enables Indian residents to collect social welfare payments from the government, such as food subsidies, pensions, and housing benefits from bank agents anywhere in the country with just a fingerprint."

Here is the sinner’s prayer if you are moved to give your life to Christ –

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.”
