Sam's Club stores is axing all self-checkouts from its 600 stores — in favor of controversial new technology. The Walmart-owned warehouse chain, often seen as Costco's biggest rival, is rolling out AI-powered 'Scan & Go' tech that lets shoppers skip the line and walk straight out the door once they're done shopping. The move is controversial because it uses a network of cameras and sensors to track shoppers and their carts. In addition, the checkout-free experience requires all customers to use a smartphone and download the store’s app. This could pose a challenge to older shoppers who may struggle with...

A successful, peaceful, and vibrant Gaza, in the image of the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel itself, would be the model not only for a better Middle East but also for the wider world. Back in December 2023, barely two months after the horrors of October 7 and the resultant war to eradicate Hamas in Gaza, I posted my original thoughts in a Jerusalem Report article (“A new Gaza – A new Middle East”) on how to achieve peace and a better future for Gaza. I envisioned nothing less than a regional partnership to rebuild Gaza into becoming the Cote d’Azur...

Imposing mandatory digital identification on every nation on the entire planet has become a primary goal for the global elite. It isn’t going to happen tomorrow, but eventually the plan is to get virtually everyone in the world into the system. If the global elite get their way, a time will come when you will not be able to buy or sell anything on the Internet without logging in with your UN-mandated digital identity chip. You won’t be able to go to school, get a job or open a bank account without your UN-mandated digital identity chip either. In essence,...

Students cite privacy concerns, ‘risk of collecting biometric information’ New biometric palm recognition scanners in a Dartmouth College dining hall have prompted privacy concerns among some students. The “biometric recognition technology” recently was installed in all but one entrance gate to the Ivy League school’s Class of 1953 Commons dining hall ahead of the winter term, The Dartmouth reports. Instead of scanning or swiping an ID, students can use the new technology to scan the unique palm of their hand to record their entry into the dining hall and purchase a meal.

The key to understandmg the mark of the beast is to examine its imagery, based in the language of OT sign commandments, the Decalogue, and the Sabbath in the light of the thematic, theological, and structural features of the vision it is embedded with. When all is taken together, a consistent pattern emerges. The first table of the Decalogue and the Sabbath are the objects of the dragon's attack. The mark of the beast functions like a sign commandment and a direct parody of the Sabbath. The last rebellion of the dragon is an attempt to simultaneously draw the whole...

I was watching the video in the link. China has become very much a cashless society. They use their phones to purchase everything. A Typhoon hit, knocked out power and nobody could buy anything. In fact, just finding a place with electricity so they could charge their phones was a big deal. It reminded me of: Revelations 6:13 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,...

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise." "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." --- Revelation 20 1 And...

1:53 Germany’s army rushed an Iris-T air-defence system into service on its own soil for the first time Wednesday having delivered several of the sophisticated systems to war-torn Ukraine to take down Russian rockets, drones and missiles mid-flight. AFP reports Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the surface-to-air system was part of a long term build-up of German and European defences initiated in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin launching the Ukraine invasion in 2022. “Russia has been massively rearming for many years, especially in the field of rockets and cruise missiles,” Scholz said at the inauguration ceremony at a base...

(from the video description) On October 7, 2023, war broke out in Israel; now world leaders are calling for the New World Order to take control before HAMAS is defeated. Israel didn’t start this war; they should be allowed to win it. America’s Administration and military are weaker than ever. This is the perfect environment for the New World Order to take control. The Church will be raptured, and the New World Order will introduce the Anti-Christ. Then the tribulation begins…ending at Armageddon.

Short video - just under 10 minutes Mostly pretty good - a few images from Israel in the video Not for everyone of couse, so YMMV

Bit of an older video which I'm going to use as a lead-in to a video from a woman shopping in China (6-month old video). In her video (which follows) she must have a phone app tied to a Chinese bank account and MUST have FACIAL RECOGNITION to authorize the spending from that account. Rich or Poor Free or Bond (slave, essentially) Great or Small (Famous or not famous) THIS is how various governments around the world will control their citizens. You don't have to believe it; but you can watch it continue to unfold.

Has America crossed the line? Are we coming to the end of America?

And the 7-year treat of 'Peace and Security' (though he doesn't use that term) At the mid-point, the Antichrist breaks the (false) peace treaty, declares himself to be "god". Then comes "the Abomination that Causes Desolation) - also discussed in this video THEN the False Prophet WILL enforce the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18) and many will be slaughtered for refusing the Mark of the Beast. These will be Tribulation Saints (Revelation...
