We reserve a few minutes Sunday morning to suggest news, or trends, that seem to be predicted by the plain, futurist reading of the Bible.
We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. There is a lot of sensationalism surrounding unfulfilled Bible prophecy, and we don’t want to add to it.
We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy – only that they are the things you’d expect in light of the Bible’s unfulfilled prophecies.
The things we follow include:
- Growing apostasy in the Church (Second Timothy 3:1-9).
- Instantaneous global communication (Revelation 11:4).
- The move towards a global government (Revelation 13).
- The move towards a global cashless society, accessed by a personal identifier (Revelation 13).
- An exponential leap in human knowledge (Daniel 12:4).
- Tampering with DNA to alter what it means to be human
- Israel regathered to the land promised to them by God.
All of these and more are trending today like never before.
This morning we will hear about a technological advancement that checks a few boxes in our list. Breitbart posted an article titled, Elon Musk Claims First Patient with Creepy Neuralink Brain Chip Can Move Mouse with Their Mind.
Excerpts:
Last month, Neuralink implanted its first computer chip into a human patient’s brain. Now, company founder Elon Musk says the patient has recovered fully and can move a computer mouse cursor simply by thinking.
Neuralink’s brain chip, now given the name Telepathy, aims to enable recipients to control devices like phones or computers with their minds.
While the company is still working to refine the technology, this first human trial marks a major milestone. The company states as its mission, “We hope to restore capabilities such as vision, motor function, and speech, and eventually expand how we experience the world,”
This advancement is noteworthy for several reasons. We know that in the Last Days there will be a global government. There will also be global a economy. The Bible speaks of a “Mark” by which people will be identified and be able to participate in society. The governing bodies will be able to track everyone via this Mark.
In addition to Neuralink as befitting what we are expecting, it also fits with the Bible’s predictions of an exponential growth bin human knowledge, and tampering with what it means to be human.
We believe that from chapter four through chapter nineteen in the Revelation are all unfulfilled future prophecies. There are many others in the Bible.
A Great Tribulation is predicted upon the whole earth. It will last for 7yrs. Towards the end Jesus Christ returns in glory to end a global conflict and establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
Jesus promised His Church, “I… will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).
He keeps us entirely out of those 7yrs by raising deceased Church Age saints, then rapturing “we who are alive and remain.”
When? The return of the Lord for us is imminent. It could happen any time. Nothing needs to occur before Jesus can come for us.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.
Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
