“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads” (Revelation 13:16). These words written 2,000 years ago depict a future global system that controls who can buy or sell (Revelation 13:17). I’m coming at this from a Pre-Trib Rapture view and hold to the view that believers will be raptured before this Beast system fully manifests, yet we already see its technological groundwork emerging. In this article, we explore how astonishingly close modern technology is to enabling the kind of total surveillance and control described in Revelation 13, why these advancements are accelerating, and what prophetic significance they carry. The goal is not to set dates or induce fear, but to analyze the signs with a sense of urgency and ask whether the focus should shift from the tech itself to the mindset that would embrace it. The tech is here and it’s not going anywhere, but are people’s minds ready? Are they being preconditioned or coerced into accepting such a system. Much like the frog slowing boiling to death in a pot of water; is society’s mind being slowly conditioned to accept this future Beast System?

Yeah we’re pretty much done.
Appears fear-mongering is a “prophetable” business.
“Appears fear-mongering is a “prophetable” business.”

That’s right, and of course the Bible is just a fear mongering bunch of gobbley-gook designed for profit making potential. Why didn’t God just say go out and get all the sex you can get, and have fun?(sarc)
“Now imagine a crisis post-Rapture: tens of millions vanish, chaos ensues. The world will be desperate for order and safety. Enter a charismatic leader with an explanation and a plan.”
Masses of professing Christians are lulled to sleep by the pre-trib rapture doctrine.
It reminds me of how many Jews remained in NAZI Germany with the rationale that “this is as bad as it will get.” Little did they know.
Christ gave the signs of His coming in the Olivet Discourse. These signs, including two important ones that Paul the apostle draws attention to in 2 Thessalonians 2, are how we know when the 2nd coming/Day of Christ is “at hand” (i.e. imminent).
Failure of modern professing Christians to learn this sets them up for the apostasy that is among the signs.
Matthew 13:20-21 NKJV
But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
Matthew 24:10 NKJV
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Who is that will stumble and commit Judas-level betrayal of followers of Christ? Other professed followers of Christ who are persecuted “for [His] name”. But despite the apostasy and betrayal, the final generation of the Christians will face the Antichrist and will win:
Revelation 12:11 NKJV
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
