The Bible accurately foretells specific events – in precise detail – sometimes even centuries before they occur.
Approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible. About 2000, or 80%, have already been fulfilled to the letter, with no errors.
Because we know that the remaining 500 or so prophecies will definitely be fulfilled, we look for news, and trends, that you’d expect to be taking place.
You might call them the signs of the times.
Read the Revelation of Jesus Christ and you see the prediction of a one-world government in which all citizens’ money and movements will somehow be monitored.
That “somehow” is what we today call technology. The tech to monitor and control people not only exists; it is being rolled-out.
You have a smart phone. Did you know that now there are smart cities? A recent web article was titled, Thousands Of Mics And Cameras To Be Installed In San Diego For “Data Harvesting.”
Excerpts:
General Electric, in conjunction with AT&T and Intel Corp, is set to install cameras, microphones, and sensors on 3200 streetlights in San Diego this year, beginning in July.
The installations are part of a new “smart city” scheme that aims to monitor traffic and crime.
With this news has also come many questioning whether this is an overreach into personal privacy, which is something that wasn’t properly investigated prior to approving this plan.
While the new additions might not be infringing on personal privacy, it will certainly collect data that, as a whole, people may be opposed to being a part of.
Especially because the city stated that it intends to make the data available to businesses.
“San Diego is a very early adopter. While it’s a smallish deal in dollars it’s the biggest deal of this kind yet,” said Maryrose Sylvester, chief executive officer of GE Current.
One added benefit is that the information could be made available to developers who are interested in creating apps.
Apps that show the safest way to walk home or locate available parking spaces could be a result of this new technology.

The article mentioned smart buildings, saying,
Everyone seems to be in agreement of the fact that this deal is revolutionary and that San Diego will be one of the first cities to test the “internet of things” technology that GE Current already provides for private buildings.
The rise of invasive personal technologies are what you’d expect from a literal reading of the Bible.
While we look at the signs of the times, we’re not looking for any particular sign before the Lord can return. Jesus promised He’d come in the clouds to resurrect the dead in Christ, and rapture living believers.
There are no prophecies needing to be fulfilled prior to the rapture. It is presented in the Bible as an imminent event.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
