End Times Ping.
This is an excellent read from Matt Ward about our current levels of Technology and how it relates to End Times Prophecy.
Let me know if you want on or off the list.
God Bless You All!
Collectively we are creating every day more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of new data.

Cat videos, porn, and malware.
This is similar to what a blacksmith might have said in 1900. But there is no divine right of stagnation. The basic effect of new and better machines is a change in the pattern of employment, in accordance with the changes in the relative size of the various industries and individual companies. In addition, in a rational, modern, advanced, division of labor economic system, technological advances and technological progress is necessary for rising productivity of labor, which is necessary for rising average real wage rates, which is necessary for a rising standard of living for the average worker.
We’ve seen this already, with smart meters replacing the buggywhip job of meter reader. Single driver trash trucks that pick up bins will soon be entirely ro otic. In short, minimal or unskilled jobs will disappear. Education will be everything or you are nothing. That willexplode some day.
Re Transhumanism/AI/End Days/Jon Rappoport has done a number of artivles on these topics!

He is trying to shoehorn technological innovations/predictions into his preconceived end-time notions.
They are ALWAYS wrong. Mainly because Revelation has nothing to do with the present time. It concerned Israel 70 AD.
I still use a flip phone though haven’t made a call on it for probably six months. It’s supposed to have an alarm, a couple of freebie games and a camera but don’t use them. Don’t wear jewelry. Sew my own clothes but get my jeans and shoes from Walmart. I seriously doubt I’ll need the cloud to tell me how long to brush my teeth.
[Quote-We know that it will be just these same types of technologies that the coming antichrist will bring to bear so effectively against all opposition, ultimately enslaving the whole world through them.]
It is interesting that 500 years ago, some men,the first Protestants, called Rome and the papacy and pope ‘antichrist’.
And they did that before the world worked and worshipped from a roman calendar named after an antichrist (pope)
Wonder if the first Protestants would call what the world uses 500 years later ‘antichrist’s’ calendar.
And how that would fit into antichrist technology against all opposition, ultimately enslaving the whole world.

This verse describes an idol with AI.
“governments plan to mitigate against this approaching mass unemployment with a basic, universal living wage for all”
That is one dark, bleak, hideous future for most of us. A basic “basic living wage” for doing nothing, essentially welfare for all. Guess “upwardly mobile” becomes a thing of the past, except for the elites who get jobs polishing robot asses. The rest are supposed to accept abject poverty, with nothing to do with thier days while AIs churn away at what used to give humans a reason to get up in the morning.
It is amazing how correct many sci-fi authors really were regarding what corporations would do with technology at the expense of humanity.
But Pelosi says we can all do “art”! I nearly forgot that. No worries, it’s all good.
1 Corinthians 13:9-13
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete. But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I did away with my childish ways.
For now, in this time of imperfection, we see in a mirror dimly—a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma—but when the time of perfection comes we will see reality face to face. Now I know in part, just in fragments, but then I will know fully, just as I always have been fully known by God.
For now there remain faith (abiding trust in God and His promises), hope (confident expectation of eternal salvation), love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me). Of these three choicest graces, the greatest is love.
“By 2023, 90% of the population will have a supercomputer in their back pockets.”
Not a very savvy person, that author. People already have a super computer in their back pocket.
In 1990 a $10 million Cray Y-MP super computer could do 300 million instructions per second. Today, we’re in the trillions.
An interesting read and only a few paragraphs at the end talk about religion so that’s good. I shared this with a lot of people. I don’t agree with all the prophesies but did find them interesting.
There was a book written many years ago, about 20 IIRC, that said about the same thing.
They speculated that science could reach the point of making nanocomputers so small they would effectively work as viruses and people could be 8infected* with them without knowing and the nanocomputers could make chances in their DNA and control them without them even knowing.
It seems less probable then, when I read the book than it does not.
Our technology is far outpacing our ability to use it wisely. The human race is on a path of total self-destruction without the intervention of God.
Much of what is prophesied in the prophets and Revelation makes far more sense today than it ever did.
it's = it is
WTF?
We are so screwed.
Technology is NEVER a substitute for good management (decision making). It can be a tool for good management.
But the reality is technology will be the substitute. We are all algorithms in the future……………………………….
