Prophecy Update #481 – Passes Are Passé

There are approximately 500 end-times prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled.  We should therefore expect things in the world to be lining-up with them.

We’re not saying the things we report on are the fulfillment of these prophecies – only that they are what you’d expect to be occurring.

They are signs of the times.

The seven year Great Tribulation will be characterized by some manner of technology that allows a person to buy and sell, and conduct all of their business, using some kind of personal identifier on them, or in them.  Since that is true, and if we are in the last days, you’d expect an explosion of advancement in personal identification technology.

It’s everywhere.  The latest article I read along these lines was titled, JetBlue and Delta Test Biometric Scanning to Replace Boarding Passes.

Excerpts:

JetBlue Airways Corp. and Delta Air Lines Inc. will test facial- and fingerprint-recognition technology at two U.S. airports to replace boarding passes, building on industry efforts to increase security and ease passage through airports.

JetBlue passengers will be able to participate without enrolling or registering in advance.

A custom-designed camera will take a photo and transmit it to U.S. authorities to compare against databases of passport, visa and immigration images. A display above the camera will notify travelers when they can board. New York-based JetBlue is working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and SITA, an information-technology provider for airlines.

Delta has been testing the use of fingerprints at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to allow some SkyMiles members entry to its Sky Club lounges. A second stage would enable participants to also check a bag and board a flight using their fingerprint instead of an identification card and boarding pass. Delta’s tests are limited to SkyMiles members who also are enrolled in Clear, a subscription service that uses biometrics to help process passengers through some airport checkpoints.

“We’re rapidly moving toward a day when your fingerprint, iris or face will become the only ID you’ll need for any number of transactions throughout a given day,” Gil West, Delta chief operating officer, said in the statement.

It’s exactly what you’d expect from reading the Bible.

I always like to clarify that we will not be on the earth during any part of the Great Tribulation.  But when you see things like this, you know that we are nearing those days.

We won’t be here because 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!
