These are exciting times for believers in Christ who are interested in Bible prophecy. Many things that are suggested by unfulfilled, future prophecies seem to be trending.
We reserve a few minutes Sunday morning to discuss some of those things. We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news and information.
We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy – only that they are the things you’d expect from reading the Bible literally.
The Mark of the Beast. Believers and nonbelievers alike have some familiarity with it. It is something having to do with your hand or forehead that will allow you to identify yourself, and to conduct all of your business. Biblically, it seems to be a system in place globally before the Beast (the antichrist) declares himself to be God. It becomes the “mark” when a person swears allegiance to the Beast.
Those who do not swear to him will be cut-off from any participation in society or commerce. They will not be able to purchase anything; and in a cashless society, that will leave them helpless.
I read about something, a new tech development, that blew my mind. I assumed it was false, it seemed so fantastic. It is, in fact, creepily true.
MIT posted an article titled, Storing medical information below the skin’s surface.
Excerpts:
MIT researchers have now developed a novel way to record a patient’s vaccination history: storing the data in a pattern of dye, invisible to the naked eye, that is delivered under the skin at the same time as the vaccine.
“In areas where paper vaccination cards are often lost or do not exist at all, and electronic databases are unheard of, this technology could enable the rapid and anonymous detection of patient vaccination history to ensure that every[one] is vaccinated,” says Kevin McHugh, a former MIT postdoc who is now an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice University.
The researchers showed that their new dye, which consists of nanocrystals called quantum dots, can remain for at least five years under the skin, where it emits near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially equipped smartphone.
The research was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Koch Institute Support Grant from the National Cancer Institute.

There is an internet rumor that Microsoft founder Bill Gates is funding a secret program to have a microchip implanted under your skin when you are vaccinated for COVID19. Not quite. He funded the MIT program to develop this skin-tag. Whether or not it is in the COVID19 shot is not known.
It’s not the Mark of the Beast. It is one of the many possible advances that could function as the future tech that becomes the Mark. Others include facial recognition, iris scans, palm prints, vein scans, and a lot more.
I’m simply pointing out that this was predicted over 2000 years ago by John in the Revelation.
Then, too, we’re seeing the world’s leaders calling for The Great Reset – a move towards a global economy and, eventually, a global government. Also predicted by John.
COVID19 is accelerating all these trends.
We believe the resurrection and rapture of the church is imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it. It will definitely happen before the Tribulation.
Jesus will return in the clouds. He will raise the dead in Christ. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.
We will all join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.
Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
