Will You Be Chipped?

The Universality Of Money

This is a very pertinent question. It is isotropic in that it carries the same weight for everyone on Earth in the end time irrespective of one’s ethnicity, geolocation, status, religion, education, etc. It is all about money. It touches everyone of us without exception. We all use money. We all need money. We work hard to earn money in order that we may meet our needs and those of our loved ones. We also give to charity and do arms, all from our sweat and labors. There is an Igbo adage that says “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” But indeed the way to a man’s heart is through his bank account. A man’s bank account is linked to his pocket. What is in a man’s bank account determines what is in his pocket and in turn what goes into his stomach. A Yoruba adage says, “kosi olorun bi ofun,” which interpreted means, “there is no god like the gullet.” Why? Because you sacrifice to it, at least three times a day. The Philippinos eat four to five times a day. Is there any gods that humans sacrifice to more oftener in a day? Another Igbo adage says, “Ihe a n’alu bu ihe e ji n’akpa.” Loosely translates, it means “marriage depends on what is in the bag(pocket).” Another Igbo adage says “ihe n’achi uwa w’ego:” what rules the world is money. “Olowo l’aye mo” is the title of a Yoruba literary work which was recommended reading in my form one in Lagos in the early 1970s. It means “it is the moneybag that the world knows.” It sounds similar to the Igbo what rules the world is money. All peoples all over the world had their wisemen who observed and interpreted human condition.

The Necessity Of Money

Before you tell me Igbos are greedy money mongers, and incurably money minded, let me say that money is vital to our daily survival. If we don’t have money, we cannot buy food. If we don’t have food, we don’t eat. And if we don’t eat, we die of starvation. It is that simple. Money is so vital to our existence because we do not practice trade by bater like our primitive forebears. We have built modern human society on consumerism and commercialism. Buying and selling have become an integral and inevitable part of our existence. And human beings are the same all over the World- morally deprave. I have lived a good part of my live among the Yorubas. Initially I thought they were better than the Igbos, now I think differently. A Yoruba adage I saw written on a decrepit old taxi in Shagamu says, “Olowo l’obirin mo.” It is the moneybag that a woman knows. So you see, it is the same everywhere. Some of our sisters, both Igbos and Yorubas, and I dare, of every other ethnic group on Earth have rejected potential suitors because they lacked financial muscle at the time of proposal, not because it was not God’s will. Regrettably, some of them will remain celibates all their lives out of self-imposition stemming from love of money which is the root of all evils(1 Tim.6:10). Likewise some of our brothers and sisters have married based on the financial status of the sister or brother in question, and as such their lives are now filled, strewn with pains, aches and sorrows and regrets. Money has metamorphosed into a god at whose feet virtually everyone bows.

Heaven Is Different

What am I trying to say? Satan created money. He is the god of this age(2 Cor.4:4); the Prince of the power of the air(Jon.14:30; Eph.2:2). There is no buying and selling in Heaven, neither trade by bater. There are no lazy drones in Heaven who depend on the labors of others and earn nothing, who are on social welfare. There are no old folks and senior citizens who are retired and can no longer work and are supported by the labors of others. In Heaven, there are no social parasites or those who are economically sterile. In Heaven, we are ageless and eternally youthful. There is no weakness, personal foibles and peccadilloes, no sickness, no disease nor death. Everyone works hard in heaven. Everyone produces maximally and takes what one needs. There is no selfishness, neither envy nor greed in Heaven. That is the government of God. Everything is excellent, perfect.

But on Earth here in this age, it is a different ballgame. Greed, graft and selfishness reign supreme. Money fuels human greed. Money is a very powerful weapon in the hand of the god of this age. It is a necessary evil in that we all have to use it now as a means of exchange, a legal tender. But time comes when we must do away with it. Some don’t think this is possible. It is either you do away with it at some point or be caught in a cesspool of Satan worship and temporary earthly comfort and subsequent eternal damnation. It is Satan’s last Joe Card. He is going to wield it through the banks. If Satan pounces on your pocket and bank account, how are you going to react? Let him have it all in order to save your precious soul? What can man give God in exchange for his soul(Ps.49:8; Matt.16:26; Mk.8:36,37)? Or are you going to reason, wiggle or wriggle your your way out of it? It is my hard earned money. I worked for it. I labored for it. I didn’t cheat any man or rob any bank or loot government treasury. I did not swindle it from anyone neither was I involved in internet fraud. My money is legit. I earned my money in legitimate and honest business deals. I need it to put food on my table for my family and loved ones. God understands. Yes, He does, but you are dead wrong. You cannot service God and Mammon(Matt.6:24; Luk.16:9-13). Satan is the originator and owner of money and he wants to hold your soul in bondage for eternity through money. It is either you let go or be imprisoned for eternity. The only way you can have it is to get chipped with RFID. And when you are chipped, you are in on the worship of the Beast and the Dragon – universal mass idolatry.

“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”(Rev.14:9-12).

That is eternal damnation. Satan knows that. He can let you have all the money in the world. Your soul is more precious to Satan than all the wealth of the world. He will credit your account with fiat currency. He will put a chicken in your pot. He will let you buy and sell. But you are dooomed for eternity.

Money And The Mark Of The Beast

Is there anyone of us who has a bank account without a BVN? If you do not want a BVN, then forget it, you cannot own and operate a bank account. Is there any decree that everyone must have a BVN? No. It touched our accounts and our pockets, and we all rolled over. That is how it is going to be with the Mark Of The Beast. One day, in no distant a future, the banks will come up with microchip accounts that will be implanted in the arm. It will be with good intentions. Your ATM card can be stolen. It will reduce internet bank fraud to the barest minimum if not eliminate it altogether. If you do not have it, you have forfeited your accounts with the banks. Your business will crumble. There will be one and a thousand other cogent reasons for getting everyone microchipped with RFID. To monitor criminals and felons, and track teenagers in school both by parents and school authorities, in order to curb absenteeism and juvenile delinquency and deviant behavior, and track those with dementia especially the elderly, and the mentally challenged. It will help corporations to know the whereabouts of their employees and to monitor their activities etc. Ab initio, chipping will not be by governmental decrees. It will be voluntary with obvious benefits to the conformists and losses to the nonconformists. If you are chipped, you have access to company facilities and public transport. It will be just sheer innovation in banking technology. It is already in existence. It is being tested in Europe, China, and US. Some are already voluntarily using it. I was in dialogue with a brother who happens to be an IT guru. Here is what he said:

“The privacy and safety concerns they say that they have, that are slowing down the rollout will be eroded over time by hook or by crook. There’s already talk of operating cash free environments in places like the UK and Sweden. Even those on welfare- in some places, the payment is made in the form of a pre-filled payment card; obviously you only get the card issued after you have been sufficiently identified and verified etc., and so on it goes until we end up with the scenario outlined in the Book of Revelation.”

Cash Free Environment And The Mark Of The Beast

Malaysia is at the verge of becoming the First Nation in the world to go totally cashless. In Sweden, those who are chipped with RFID need only wave their hands at NFC reader at the train station or point of sale(POS) and payment is made and the money is deducted from their account. It makes life more wonderful but at the expense of our souls. The financial system we are talking about here when it is fully orbed will not be feasible without cashlessness. Cashlessness and the Mark Of The Beast will be in use worldwide before the emergence of the antiChrist. If you happen to be here at that time, how would react to it? I have said this several times, what the antiChrist will do is to harmonize its use worldwide, universalize it, and make it compulsory and mandatory. But it will be in use long before his appearance on the world stage.

GDIFI And The Mark Of The Beast

From the 1970s our age has been declared the digital age, i.e., the age of numbering. Today, when someone asks for another’s number, he or she means the other’s phone number. We have pointed out that without BVN one cannot operate one’s account with any bank. Biometric data like passport size photograph, finger print, name, address, state of origin, date of birth, etc are no longer enough. One must have a number which is a set of digits unique to the individual. Of late, I wanted to order a book from Amazon. The transaction could not be completed without my international passport number or my NIN number. The implication is that Nigerians who do not have NIN or international passport numbers cannot purchase anything on Amazon. They want us to be a number compliant generation. Digitization is surreptitiously creeping in on us, and the saints have not been sensitized of its ultimate goal and danger. It is not innocuous; indeed, it is soul damming. It is part of the antiChrist’s infrastructure for global surveillance and control.

As Dr. Jaiyesimi Gbenga has pointed out, the buzz words in Nigeria today are “financial inclusion” and “mobile banking.” Our banks encourage us to do our banking activities online through our mobile phones or tablets. Some banks offer as much as 80% charge free transactions. The bet, of course, is financial inclusion. If you don’t get online you will be financially excluded. In other words you lose some financial benefits. The UN, World Bank, IMF want all citizens of the globe to have digital identity for the purpose of financial inclusion and commerce. They call it “Global Digital Identity for Financial Inclusion.” It is all part of globalization and digitization. What that means is that every citizen of the Globe will have unique number of identification to be financially inclusive. When fully orbed, no one without this number will be able to engage in any meaningful business transactions. Does it not sound like the Mark Of the Beast without which no can buy or sell?

“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. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”(Rev.13:16-18).

Ab initio, one would be required to provide this number on demand to do business, register as students in institutions. But as time goes on, microchip account will be generated in one’s name with this number alongside other biometric data specific to the individual which will later on be implanted hypodermically as RFID. Online and at POS, as well as on ports of entry, one would be required to provide this number. It will become one’s personal identity, unique to every individual on Earth. Anyone who opts out will be economically boycotted, and later on hounded to comply or be liquidated and vaporized altogether. We can go along with them until it becomes mandatory to implant it on our persons. That is the point of demarcation. It is the point of no return. It is the “divide” or “watershed.” Anyone who takes this number on his or her person has sold one’s soul to the Devil for eternity. Believers must have the bravado to say no at that point in time. And to be successful at that, we must start now to prepare ourselves mentally and to plan to opt out of the society when that time arrives. Believers who are waiting to be raptured before the antiChrist arrives will be roped in unawares.

Current RFID

Over 50,000 people have been chipped worldwide with RFID. It contains 16 digits, 2 digits short of the 18 digit mark of the Beast. The concensus of opinion is that it is not the mark of the Beast in its present form, reason being that it is less than 18 digits, implanted on either the right or left hand, so far, and not the forehead. It does not yet serve as national ID, international passport, drivers’ license, and bank account. All these four microcip IDs will be collapsed into one ID, harmonised worldwide and universalized and made imperative or compulsory and mandatory by some kind of legislation and or economic boycot of those who reject it.

Concerning the mark of the Beast, I wish to draw our attention to the fact that it could be on either the right or left hand. There are three passages of scriptures that speak about the mark of the beast. Rev.13:16 says right hand or forehead.

“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:” Rev.14: 9 says forehead, or hand. “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand.” The third passage is Rev.20:4. It says hands or foreheads. “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

In the light of these passages, either right hand, left hand, or forehead is valid. Anyone being chipped could chose to do it on the right or left hand or forehead. So, we cannot say the current RFID is not valid because it is done on either hand only and not the forehead. I do not know assuredly that it is. On the other hand, I cannot tell anyone that it is not. My reasoned and informed opinion is that it is too dangerous to toy with eternity in Hell and the Lake of fire and Sulphur. Those who receive the beta version now may simply upgrade in the future: in fact, the upgrade may be automatic. In that case one may not have the option of exit once one has taken the mark.

It is written: “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”(Rev.14:9-11).

The fact that this statement is coupled with: “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, referring to the Jews and Christians who reject the mark of allegiance to the Beast for which they are persecuted and some suffer torture and martyrdom: [“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” (Rev.14:12-13)]; indicates that the saints will be here on Earth when this mark is being issued and will have the free will to choose this mark and live or reject it and die or be subjected to imprisonment, torture, starvation, economic boycot, humiliation or other indignities.

The fact the the rapture has not yet taken place nor the antiChrist identified does not invalidate the current RFID. The scriptures do not in so many words exempt the saints from this trial. It is a trial that will come upon everyone that dwells on the Earth(Rev.3:10). {Believers by virtue of their knowledge of the end times, prior preparations, and trust in God are given protection within this trial period, and eventual removal when the trial is amputated by the cosmic and celestial disturbances}. The pretribs recognize that, though they relegate it to the so called “Tribulation Saints” or “those left behind,” whose only means of salvation will be martyrdom, which as it were is salvation by works, which is utterly scripturally unsustainable.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”(Eph.2:8).

According to pretribulationism, the “left behind” are as it were condemned to martyrdom without which they cannot obtain salvation, inasmuch as the rapture has already taken place, and there is no second rapture. Therefore, none of them will obtain salvation any other way others than by martyrdom. This is utter nonsense which has no biblical bases.

Difficult Times Ahead

Let me tell you this. The saints are up against some hard times in the future. No amount of faith, prosperity, motivational, and success messages will exempt us from the hard times ahead. Neither will wrong teachings and notions, and fantasies about the Rapture. This is not pessimism. Am naturally an optimist. But this is biblical realism. And am a biblicist, and therefore a biblical realist.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 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. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”(Rev.13:11-18).

The RFID that thousands of people are now wearing on their persons is about sixteen digits, two digits short of the 18 digits Mark of the Beast. By the time it is harmonized worldwide and universalized, and made mandatory, it will be up to 18 digits. The majority agree it is not the Mark of the Beast as it is now. I do not know. I do not care whether or not it is the Mark of the Beast. On no account will I submit my person to be RFIDed. I would rather lose everything than submit my person to be chipped for whatever reason. It is too dangerous to play around with eternity in the Lake Of Fire. It is like a slippery creek bank. If you play around with it, and keep fooling around with it, you slip in. The mark Of The Beast is irreversible; one cannot get chipped today and reverse it tomorrow. Despite the fact that the scripture is clear that the wrath of God abides on anyone who takes the mark of the Beast, some Pretrib proponents like Brandon Howse and Jimmy De Younge are fantasizing with the false notion that one can take the mark of the Beast and repent later on. There is only one way in and no way out. There is entrance but no exit. Yes, it can be surgically excised or extracted, but once chipped, one’s name and biometrics have entered into Big Brother’s supercomputer. The one belongs to Big Brother, the antiChrist who is Satan’s representative on Earth. The one now belongs to Satan. It is mark of allegiance, ownership, security, etc.

My advice to young believers is Do Not take it. If your present job is threatened by it, look for another. Or better still, creat your own jobs. Believers should be creative and innovative. My heart goes out to the young believers who have acquired special skills in the high tech industries. It may be difficult to retrain oneself. But they have to retrain themselves considering that eternity is in view. I always tell young believers in higher institutions, think of what you can do to survive on your own rather than being absorbed in the big banks and big corporations and government parastatals on graduation. The high tech industries, the big banks and government parastatals are almost like a death trap. We should think of products we can sell to fellow believers who opt out of society. We will need to opt out of society before the antiChrist appears. If we do not opt out ourselves the society itself will force us out or else we choose to be like them, that is, be chipped and RFIDed and condemned to Hell for eternity. We may have to create a legal tender of our own with which to trade secretly amongst ourselves. I do not say we should drop out of society. I do not believe in dropping out. Dropping out connotes some sort of psychological and global mental dysfunction whereby one can no longer cope with the larger society. Let me tell you this; am not a monk nor a recluse nor hermit, though I lived in seclusion for 25 yeras. It is time we develop doomsday preppers mentality. The Americans are way ahead of the rest of the world in this area. We need to catch up. Unfortunately the big churches and ministries which say they hear from God say nothing about it. It is very dismal.

The Image Of The Beast

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”(Rev.13:15).

One can address an audience in any language using a hologram or robot. There are lots of apps on the net that can translate a speech into any language. One of these translation apps can be programmed into a hologram or robot. A hologram in its present form cannot cause a person to be killed, but a robot can. The image of the Beast that the false prophet will use to kill those who refuse to give allegiance to the Beast by refusing his mark is a robocop equipped with artificial intelligence. The false prophet will do this because he is the enforcer of the worship of the Beast and the Dragon. The robocop made in the image of the Beast will be able to speak and arrest and kill those who refuse the mark of allegiance to the Beast. The technology is down. It is a matter of time before they will be put it to use in policing the state. Long before the antiChrist shows up on the world stage, robocops will be put to public use in some parts of the world.

What this means is that chipping would have become voluntarily commonly in use or else be enforced by some kind of legislation. Robocops will function in societies where the masses are microcipped with RFID. Without some kind of Near Field Communication (NFC), robocops cannot make a distinction. Obviously, we are not far from some kind of Orwellian state. China is far ahead of the West in policing the state, but the Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Belgium are far ahead in voluntary self-microchipping. Some day in the future it shall be compulsorily universalized. This will be preceded by voluntarily unversalization. What will aid voluntary unversalization is exigencies of the times. A student who is not microchopped may not have access to school library or his bank account. A worker who is not chipped may not have access to company canteen and other facilities. International travels may be out of the reach of those who are not chipped as international passports may be eliminated altogether. Local public transport may be out of the reach of those who are unbranded as tickets will be sold online via microchip RFID numbers. Those who are not chipped may be unable to register companies, obtain trade licenses, health and other insurances, etc. What will life be like for believers in this kind of society? How will the church as body react to it? The Church as body of faith will face serious crises in times ahead regarding these issues to which the leadership has turned a blind eye.

5G Network, IOT, The Mark Of The Beast, And Global Surveillance And Control

5G network is not just for fast internet connectivity, it is for transparency and visibility. It is for intelligence; it is Big Brother’s third eye. With 5G Towers, the Big Brother will be tracking you in the most dystopian form to gain absolute and complete surveillance. With 5G network, there are no barriers, everything and everyone is visible. 5G network sees through walls , metals, solid objects and barriers. The Big Brother can monitor everyone and everything. There will be no privacy nor secrecy. With 5G network you are visible and audible in your bedroom, closet, as well as in your office or in transit. 5G network is for global surveillance and control. With global digital identity, cashlessness, and IoT, no human activity will be private or shrouded in secrecy. The Big Brother knows everyone, sees everyone, and sees and knows what everyone is doing at all times.

Everyone’s life will be a video being broadcast to the Big Brother. And with a policy of zero tolerance to opposition and rebellion, this kind of Orwellian Government will put almost everyone in fear and dread of its security apparatus. From the sites you visit on the net, whom you chat with or chat up, places you visit, your friends and relatives, the companies you keep, your habits, and the things you purchase, your behavior, actions, and intents of your heart can be pretty well predictable. Rebellion will be almost impossible to organize, for it can be pretty well predicted ahead of time of actualization and nipped in the bud. In a society of this kind, men and women are literally paralyzed with in fear, cowered, and are zombies to the system.

5G Towers will be installed every 300 meters or every 2-10 houses. 5G emits EMI up to 95Ghz which is potentially harmful to the human body. Potential effects are concers, fetal abnormalities, neurological abnormalities, neuropsychiatric abnormalities, and depressed immune system.

Enforcers And Informers

Besides highly advanced technology, there will be human agents of the the highly surveilled society. They shall include the police, secret agents, the army, civil defense, coast guards etc. With the fast development in modern technology and computer, it will be extremely difficult, perhaps near impossible to evade these overzealous and watchful eyes. Besides these special government officers, ordinary citizens shall shall be encouraged to report and inform on one another just like in the communist era in communist countries at the height of the Cold War. Children shall betray their parents to death and vice versa. Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold(Matt.24:12). And a man’s enemy shall be those of his own household(Matt.10:36; Mark 13:12). It shall be difficult to find trustworthy brethren. There will be false believers. Secret agents of the government shall infiltrate underground Christian groups posing as brethren. There shall be wolves in sheep’s clothing(Matt.7:15; 10:16; Luk.10:3). There will be false prophets, teachers and messiahs, all there to deceive many(Matt.24:5; Mark 13:22,23).

The system of government of the Big Brother shall be based on mistrust. The Big Brother will trust no one. Therefore his citizens shall be encouraged to inform on one another. Parents shall report on their children, and the children shall be against their parents. The daughter-in-law shall be against the mother-in-law, and vice vasa. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household(Matt.10:34-36). The antiMessiah shall apply the principle of divide and rule. He will destroy family fabrics, and encourage evil of all sorts. He shall not respect family ties. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold(Matt.24:10,12). Even within the church shall arise false brethren who shall betray others. It shall not be advisable to trust anyone at that unless one can vouch for them. Now brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death(Mark 13:12). Those shall be evil days and times indeed.

Pretribulational Hypnosis

The larger majority in the body of Christ are bedevilled with unusual somnolence with respect to the End Times having been anaesthetised with the hypnotising and soporific message that they will be raptured to heaven before the antiChrist shows up on the world stage. The bad news is that long before the antiChrist hangs out his shingles, the world will make it almost impossible for anyone to have a meaningful means of livelihood without being chipped one way or the other. One may be required to be chipped in order to access one’s account in the bank, vote, register ones children in government schools and institutions, travel internationally as international passport will be eliminated altogether, buy or sell since cashlessness and IoT would have become the order of the day, etc. Time is fast approaching when the true believers will lose their high end jobs in the tech sector, teaching appointments in government and private institutions, resign as civil servants and bank workers, withdraw their wards from public and some private academic institutions to avoid sacrificing their faith in Christ. Believers should begin to think in terms of home schooling their wards as some are already doing in America. We have done very well in setting up private Christian schools at all levels in Nigeria. But we have to go a step further to begin home schooling our children.

The Triumph Of Technology

Long before the antiChrist signs a seven-year peace agreement with Israel, the so called Covenant Of Apostasy or Covenant With Death(Isa.28:14-19), technology would have conquered the world for the Devil. Martin Heidegger, the 18th century German philosopher warned that technology was going to destroy the world. At that time, the atomic bomb had not been developed let alone hydrogen and neutron bombs. Though any of these could destroy the world many times over in the event of any exchanges by the major powers, that is not likely going to happen. All the major powers have nuclear weapons. They are all afraid of one another and how others will respond if one uses it. Because of Mutually Assured Destruction(MAD), it therefore serves as a deterrent. But Satan has other plans. Become a cyborg and you will have access to the best this world offers, even fiat money will be credited and lodged in your account pro bono. It is coming. Just a matter of time, it will be global. We must be prepared, we must be watchful, prayerful, and fruitful(Matt.24:42-51).

Uncommon Wisdom

We believers have the Spirit of God(Rom.8:9,11,26). We have uncommon wisdom being filled with the Holy Spirit and instructed out of the word of God(Col.2:3,10). We are to be watching and waiting(Matt.24:42-44). We should not be taken unawares(1 Thess.5:1-9). We know the times and the seasons(1 Thess.5:1). We are children of the day and light. We are not of night nor of darkness. We are not drunken neither are we sleeping. We should be like the men of Yissachar who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do at each point in time(1 Chronicle.12:32). The secret things belong to God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and our children(Deut.29:29). We should be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves(Matt.10:16). We should be ahead of the world being instructed out of the word of God. “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”(2 Tim.3:15). We should take precautionary measures before the world goes cashless. We should take precautionary measures before RFID and microchip accounts are rolled out by the World Bank, IMF, the big banks and big corporations and its use universalized and made mandatory. We should be able to take out our money and use it to build safe havens for ourselves and our loved ones. Those of us who are rich should be able to withdraw their money from the banks, make them available to indigent members of the body of Christ to procure safe havens.

Communitarian System Of Collective Co-existence

“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”(Acts 2:44-47).

We shall revert back to the primitive communitarian system of collective co-existence practised by the early Church in Jerusalem before dispersion through persecution and rebellion and war with Rome. The rich believers sold their posssesins and distribution was made to the needy ones in the congregation according to everyone’s need. Jerusalem was going to be destroyed. There was no need to retain private ownership of property. The believers in the land of Israel knew this before the Jewish revolt of 66-74 AD, and made adequate preparations.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”(2 Peter 3:10-14).

When you are on the run, you do not carry much. “Let the overloaded traveller shed of his excessive load all that may benefit the living.” The present heavens and Earth will be salted with fire. We cannot therefore lay our treasures on Earth. As heaven bound pilgrims, we must lay our treasures in heaven where neither rust nor mot consumes, and infiltrators do not break in and steal(Matt.6:19,20). We must be willing to let go of the things of this world when Satan pounces on them in order to hold us in bondage to earthly materialism. We must bear it at the back of our minds that all these things shall be dissolved. Time cometh when the whole Earth and the works that are therein shall go up in flames. What manner of men ought we to be in relation to a temporal world?

“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”(Acts 4:32-37).

We shall do away with individual ownership of property. The community of believers in Judea and Samaria in the first century AD had foresight into the future of the nation of Israel at that time. From their study of Daniel’s 70 week prophecy, they knew that the Temple and Jerusalem was going to be destroyed and the Jews exiled and dispersed all over the world at the expiry of the 69th week. “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.”(Daniel 9:26). They sold whatever they had and went into hiding. In 70 AD, 38 years later, from the crucifixion of Christ and the inception of the Church(32 AD), the City and the sanctuary were destroyed and Jews sent into exile. We believers of this generation also have insight into the future based on Dan.9:27. The same scenario the early community of believers witnessed in Palestine in the first half of first century AD shall be reinacted and played out, at the end time on a much larger and global scale.

Once RFID is introduced by the banks, big corporations, and government parastatals we either go along with them or lose our deposits no matter how huge. The structural edifices built by the Church shall be highjacked by the antiChrist and his acolytes during the Great Tribulation. And whatever is left of them after the Great Tribulation shall go up in flames during the Day Of His Wrath(Joel 2:30-32). The whole Earth must salted with fire and sulphur(2 Pet.3:10-18). Churches, parachurches, and ministries should know when to dispose of their properties and empty their accounts and disburse them to indigent members to procure safe havens for themselves and their loved ones. Churches and ministries should also think in terms of providing safe havens for its indigent members, although such safe havens will be fraught with logistical problems in terms of running costs, management and security. Cell units of believers who know themselves very well and trust one another are better and easier to run and manage. Any Church property not disposed of, any Church deposit not withdrawn and utilized will be forfeited and impounded by the antiChrist and his gang of humanists. Whatever choice we make, seals our fate in eternity.
