The Final Countdown

USA Today reports that Pope Benedict XVI is using his third encyclical to call for a God-centered global economy.  This one statement alone is fascinating on so many levels.

First, the Bible teaches that there will be a global economy (Revelation 13:16-18), and it will indeed be god-centered. That is ‘god’, with a lowercase ‘g.’ This world economy will be under the control of the Antichrist (Revelation 13:16), who claims to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:5-6) and is worshiped as God by billions of people around the globe (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12). All of this will be facilitated by the False Prophet (Revelation 13:12-17), predicted for centuries to be the final pope–and the next one after Benedict XVI–by men such as St. Malachy and Pope John Paul II.

This story from Jay Baggett of WorldNetDaily is amazing. Go read the whole thing and bookmark the article.

You can run, but you cannot hide … and if you try, one push of a button will cause a lethal poison to immediately begin flowing through your body.

That’s the Orwellian future a Saudi inventor was seeking to bring to Germany until that nation’s patent office announced last week it was rejecting his request to patent what has been dubbed the “Killer Chip.”

The tiny semiconductor device is intended to be surgically implanted or injected into the body, according to the patent application, for the purpose of tracking visitors from other nations by global-positioning satellites and preventing them from overstaying their visas.

…The device would emit encrypted radio waves that would be picked up by satellites and “used to track fugitives from justice, terrorists, illegal immigrants, criminals, political opponents, defectors, domestic help, and Saudi Arabians who don’t return home from pilgrimages,” Sweden’s The Local reported.

The application included a request to patent a model B of the device that could release poison to “eliminate” the individual if he or she became a security risk.

I emphasized the portion about monitoring Saudi’s “who don’t return home from pilgrimages,” to highlight that this device was not intended to be used just on criminals or visiting tourists. In order to track Saudi’s who make a pilgrimage, they would have to be tagged to begin with.

The German Patent Office, where this device was to be marketed, rejected the idea, as you can imagine. But the Antichrist will not reject it.  This exact type of device will be injected by the forces of the Antichrist into the right hand or forehead of humans around the globe (Revelation 13:16; 14:9; 20:4). Like the chip mentioned in this story, the mark of the beast will be used to track humans where ever they go (Revelation 13:16-18). The False Prophet, who comes from a Christian background but is actually controlled by demons (Revelation 13:11), uses this technology to force the world to worship the Antichrist as God (Revelation 13:12-17). Now that these chips are able to release poison, these evil doers of Satan’s bidding will be able to kill anyone who has a chip but turns against the notion of the Antichrist being God.  If a person doesn’t show up to bow at the image of the beast on time (as tracked by GPS), a computer could release this deadly toxin, no questions asked. This is in addition to those who are beheaded for being Christians and refusing the mark (Revelation 20:4).

This will be even easier now that technology has brought us cameras that “read” the actions of people to determine if they are up to no good. All of the technology is in place.

People who accept the mark of the beast and keep it will be eternally lost (Revelation 14:11)

A man in France was detained for 24 hours and strip searched, all because he received a text message, sent by a friend as a joke:

An innocent man was strip-searched and held in a cell for 24 hours after receiving a joke text message from a friend about sabotaging a train.

The 29-year-old was arrested after his mobile phone provider passed on details of the message to police – who accused him of not reporting a crime.

The case, which happened in France, provoked widespread outrage about the ‘sinister’ march of the Big Brother state there.

The man, referred to only by his first name of Stephane, received a message saying ‘Do you know how to de-rail a train?’ last month in Abbeville, in the Somme region.

The woodworker thought nothing of the text but hours later he was arrested.

Europe is taking monitoring its citizens seriously. In Britain, the plan is to not only monitor text messages, but email, instant messages, Facebook messages, and web browsing history as well. Currently, Welsh parents are running a test program where they monitor their children via GPS; microchips are being used to track Alzheimer’s patients; and a program is in development to use microchips to monitor medicine intake.

The Antichrist will use microchips to track every human on the planet (Revelation 13:16-18). Humans will likely be monitored by the Belgian Electronic Accounting Surveillance Terminal, an EU supercomputer with an acronym (BEAST) that is the same as one of the names used for the Antichrist (Revelation 13:1). Europe is not alone. America is already compiling a vast database on its citizens, including DNA tracking from birth in many states. The US also has the stunningly powerful SBX Radar system, which can be used to track a baseball from 3,000 miles away.

The next step is to have “smart” computers, with near human abilities thanks to artificial intelligence. Such technology is being developed at an incredible pace. The Japanese have developed a robot that learns and grows, mimicking an infant. Meanwhile, Harvard is set to launch a new search engine that is able to “understand like a human does.” All of this will come together to make smart microchips, such as the GPS system being developed in the UK that “senses” you can’t find what you are looking for in the cabinet or grocery store, and points you in the right direction.

This is the technology of the False Prophet, a man who comes from a Christian background but is actually controlled by demons (Revelation 13:11). This apostate sets up “images” of the resurrected Antichrist (Revelation 13:14) that are likely robots with high levels of artificial intelligence, and forces humanity to worship them (Revelation 13:15). He is also the one responsible for implementing the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-17).

Friends, this is very important stuff. Israel and the EU are at odds over a two-state solution to the Mideast conflict, which has been going on for 4,000 some odd years. An EU commissioner criticized Israel’s stance, and the Israeli’s didn’t take it very well. The EU is stepping up its role in the peace process and looking for a leader to bring it all together.

Israel warned the European Union on Thursday to tone down its criticism of the new Israeli government or risk forfeiting the bloc’s role as broker in Mideast peace efforts.

The warning came after EU’s commissioner for external relations, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, this week criticized Israel’s refusal to endorse a Palestinian state. She said an upgrade in Israeli-EU relations would depend on Israel’s commitment to the “two-state solution.”

It also came ahead of a planned trip to Europe next week by Israel’s foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman — his first official trip abroad. The ultranationalist Lieberman’s comments about Arabs and Mideast peace have raised international concerns about the new Israeli Cabinet’s intentions.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor on Thursday called Ferrero-Waldner’s comments “very militant” and contrary to understandings with other EU officials.

He said her remarks threatened to undermine understandings with the EU to maintain a “quiet dialogue” until Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu completes the formulation of his foreign policy.

“If there is no coherence in the European position … this will not be useful and will not help the EU in playing a role here,” Palmor said.

There will be a seemingly “coherent position” from an expanded European Union, and it will come from the Antichrist (who is not necessarily European). This allows him to be the one who finally forges a peace contract in the Middle East (Daniel 9:27), and it will include a Palestinian state (Joel 3:2; Zechariah 14:2). But this will be a false peace, because Israel will have signed a contract with “death and hell” (Isaiah 28:15), allowing the Israeli’s to think they are at peace when they are not (Jeremiah 6:14, 8:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:3).  Israel will then let her guard down, opening the door for the Russia led confederation of Psalm 83:4-5 to go against the “land of unwalled villages; a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates” (Ezekiel 38:11).

The peace contract is signed for seven years (Daniel 9:27) and marks the beginning of the Tribulation. Exactly at the halfway mark, the Russian/Arab conglomerate attacks Israel (Daniel 9:27), using the Oriental nations as backup (Revelation 16:12). The Antichrist doesn’t like his contract broken, so he moves in to stop the attack (Daniel 11:44). Russia is defeated (Joel 2:20) just as China and its hordes move in (Revelation 9:14), bringing along the largest army in the history of the world (Revelation 9:16).

At this point the Antichrist is killed and is resurrected by Satan, who incarnates him (Revelation 12:12-13, 13:12, 17:8), meaning hell has literally come to earth (Revelation 12:7-13). It is then, during the last half of the Tribulation (Revelation 13:5-6) that the Antichrist claims to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:4, Daniel 11:36). This blasphemy is promoted by the False Prophet (Revelation 13:12-17), a man who claims to be a Christian but is actually controlled by demons (Revelation 13:11). It is VERY likely that the next pope will be the False Prophet, and this would fulfill the St. Malachy (Archbishop of Armagh) prophesies as well as predictions made by Pope John Paul II before his death.

Fittingly, the Parliament of World Religions will take place this December in Melbourne, Australia. The purpose of this meeting is to smooth out strife between different religions while setting the stage for a one world religion. This is what the False Prophet resides over.

The advancements in robotics have been amazing in the last five years. A recently developed robot from Japan is fascinating.
