The Bible contains some 2500 prophecies. Fully 80% of them have been fulfilled, to the letter. The remaining 500 prophecies of the end times suggest things we should be seeing around us, in the news.
We talk quite a bit about biometrics. That’s because the apostle John, in the first century, saw a future in which human beings would be identified and conduct all of their business using a personal identifier either in them, or on them.
It seemed ridiculous until just recently. Today there is news almost everyday about the latest trend towards a cashless society in which we each have our own unique id on or in us.
This week, Rabbi Shmuly Boteach was visiting President Trump’s chief White House strategist, Stephen Bannon. The Rabbi took a few selfies, and posted them on twitter.
The background of those photos has captured the public’s attention.
Behind Boteach and Bannon is a handwritten whiteboard list that apparently shows the goals that Bannon is working toward at the White House. Broken out into categories, many are obscured by the people in the foreground. Some have check marks next to them, apparently meant to indicate completion.
On the To-Do list is this partial sentence – “Finally complete the biometric entry-exit visa…”
It’s a project suggested after 9-11 to keep watch for terrorists. Right now, it would apply only to foreigners, not American citizens.
Biometric id is coming, and I think you would agree, it will eventually be for everyone – American citizens as well as foreigners. It only makes sense.
The Bible predicted biometrics over 2000 years ago. It’s here today, and while it hasn’t been fully implemented, it’s ready.
It’s what you’d expect from reading the Bible.
While we recognize 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!
