Some think "it can't happen here"..

[ironglow]

  The Demoncrats in government , are trying to promote a "cashless" economy, where everything must go through an electronic "watch dog" system.

  Some think that is a good idea..cuts down robberies, curtails the drug trade and saves having to carry cash..  But have you thought of the consequences, when big brother can track ewveryting you do..everything you may buy or sell...every transaction you make?

   For the first time in history, it has become possible to do this...now think of the warning in Revelations ch 13...

   Revelation 13:16-17 KJV
"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: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

I have thought of it, and I agree its coming.

Robbers will kidnap you to go to ATMs to pull out money, or torture you to give up your PIN.

[Lloyd Smale]

its already here. everything you do on line and with a credit card can be tracked

[locust]

Would that be the mark of the hand?

[ironglow]

Would that be the mark of the hand?

   Many possibilities.. Could be a mark on the hand..or on the forehead, in case the right hand is missing.  Note; nothing says it has to be a visible
    mark..  A small, invisible chip could be installed under the skin..much like pets have such things now.

   ..Biutb then again, who knows what technology will crop up in 2 years,... 3 or 4 years from now?

    This is in prophesy too...  "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”   (Dan 12:4)

   And think...since just trhe last century..have people round the world EVER travelled as much as now?  Over the last 20 centuries, most average
   citizens rarely travelled more than 50 miles from home.

   ...And has science and technology expanded over the last twenty centuries, near as much as it has boomed over the last 30 years?

[locust]

please realize its from Revelation. if you are reading it Stright forward or literally, its easy to get confused .very little of that book should be taken literally.

   It was written to mean exactly as it says..  The great Bible Universities, such as Biola, Moody, Midwest (Spugeon) and Liberty all agree on
  that interpretation.
   frankly, I would rather take the word of universities which make Bible study their study theme, rather than the propaganda produced by
    8 old men in Tuxedo Park,  who frown on advanced education..

   Perhaps they didn't tell you, but although there are some offices in Warwick, 5 miles away, the main activity is at Tuxedo.  The area is called Tuxedo Park, because it has always been a resort community for the wealthy, tuxedo crowd.

   I supoose the big shots live there, since it is a year round resort.. beautiful summers and winter sports.  It is surrounded by Harriman state park
   and Wayawanda state park.

   Not a bad "work location"..Drone flight ovber Tuxedo Park..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azNY2UxL4HU

    Whoops!  I guess the "big guys" forgot to tell you...  Sometimes thay call it Warwick..perhaps so you don't get the idea, that they are just on a vacation up there..

    Well, their headquarters was i Brooklyn, why suddenly pick up and move to vacation spa?  But as I said earlier, some Christian "evangelists"
  are also living 'high on the hog'.. For instance, Joyce Meyer has som pretty fancy digs, in Eureka, MO.

  While I don't agree that preachers should be paupers, I think each should keep oin mind the words of Jesus himself, in (Matthew 8:20)

   "And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

The highest paid preacher is Franklin Graham at $880,000.00 per year, and a net worth of $10,000,000.00

[ironglow]

  ...And that is far beyond where it should be..
