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.

Many of our updates make you aware of advances in the technology of imbedded or wearable personal identifiers.  We see these advances as significant because of the prophecies in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

In the first century, the apostle John saw that, in the last days, people would be able to be identified, and to conduct all their business, by means of something on them, or in them.  At one point he referred to this personal identifier being utilized by the antichrist.  It’s the infamous Mark of the Beast.

The very fact that there are multiple technologies that sound eerily like they could accomplish what John saw is remarkable, to say the least.  We’ve discussed palm prints, vein scans, electronic tattooing, retinal scanning, and microchipping – just to mention a few.

I came across an article titled, Designer Creates Microchip Manicure That Double as a London Subway Card.

Excerpts:

Why fumble around for your subway card when you can just slap your hand against the card reader?  Design student Lucie Davis created a microchip-equipped manicure to allow her to scan into the London Underground with just a touch of her fingers.

Created as part of her final undergraduate project in jewelry design at Central Saint Martins in London, the press-on nails are embedded with the same kind of RFID chip used in Oyster cards, the London Underground’s metro card.

RFID technology is commonly used in the key cards that unlock office doors and hotel rooms.

Another article was titled, Unlock Android Phone with Wearable NFC.

Excerpts:

Unlock your phone by just picking it up!  No more pesky password or gesture PIN, just scan an NFC tag!  This guide covers creating an NFC ring, putting an NFC tag in your nail polish, modifying your Android installation to read tags from the lockscreen, and creating an automation toolchain to unlock the phone when the desired tag is scanned.

We’re not suggesting these manicures are the Mark of the Beast.  In fact, the Mark of the Beast cannot happen until mid-way through the future Great Tribulation.

We are saying that advances in personal identification via embedded or wearable technology are exactly what you’d expect from a literal reading of Bible prophecy.

While we look for signs of the times, there is one event that has no sign.  It is presented as being imminent – meaning, it could occur at any moment.

Jesus will come and resurrect the dead believers, than snatch-away those who are alive.  We call this the Rapture of the church.

Are you ready for the rapture?  If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.  Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
