Yeah, the mark of the beast is coming and for all those who pooh-pooh the teaching, the reason that gives the idea that we are now living in the end times the biggest boost, is NOT the rise of disease and wars and natural disasters, but the fact that the technology and the kind of surveillance required to enact the kind of global one world government, makes it all very feasible.
The other thing is that genetic engineering could certainly allow for some of the hideous creatures described in Revelation, to come into existence.
To me that’s the BIGGEST clue that we are near the end of the age.
Very enlightened comment. Thats true. You hear reporters say things like, is this the apocalypse? No. We are not in the book of Revelation. Despite locusts, earthquakes, and pestilence. We are in the birthpangs I believe. The anti-Christ kingdom is being built right now. As you mentioned. The technology and the surveillance is exactly what is needed for the anti-Christ to establish his tyranny. This is a minor pandemic compared to what is coming. And already people are panicking and lining up to submit their freedom.
