How Close Are We to the Mark of the Beast?

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to Sabbath services!

• How close are we to the mark of the beast?
• What events have yet to happen so that we can have an understanding of it?

Advertisement: Transcript Book/with CDs: Daniel/Revelation. This goes through the whole books of Daniel and Revelation pertaining to all the Scriptures that we need to know.

Let's see the events that have to take place before the mark of the beast can be imposed. There has to be a lot of things that have to come together and reach a particular point.

The book of Revelation is very important, and very hard to understand, and very easy to make a mistake. This is why you have to let the Bible interpret the Bible, and not get carried away with wild ideas.

Revelation 1:1—this sets the whole tone for the whole book: "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God [the Father] gave to Him, to show to His servants… [all of us] …the things that are ordained tocome to pass shortly…"

Now, shortly to God is a different definition than shortly to us. Because for God a thousand years is as a day, and a day is as a thousand years, because God lives in eternity! Time is measured on the earth in relationship to what God is doing.

"…and He made it known, having sent it by His angel to His servant John" (v 1)—not to any of the other apostles!

The other apostles have parts of things that fit into the book of Revelation. Just like the book of Daniel, you could say has the first half of these prophecies in Revelation, prophesied 2800 years before.

You can liken that to a lock, and Revelation is the key, and you need both to work together. The book of Revelation is written in a very interesting way, which we will cover here in just a minute.

Verse 2: "Who [John] gave witness to the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and all the things he saw." Everything from here to the end of the book of Revelation!

Verse 3: "Blessed is the one who reads…" We're going to read it today, so there's a blessing today that comes and it comes every time.

The Bible is different from any other book, because you read and study the Bible, and every time you do you learn more! The more that you read and study, the more you are going to understand IF you rightly divide the Word of God and put it together the way that God has shown. Not wild ideas!

"…and those who hear the words of this prophecy and who keep the things that are written therein; for the time is at hand" (v 3).

Let's understand that there are partial fulfillments in part of Revelation down through history. There are certain key events that have to take place before we get to the major fulfillments to be unleashed. Even during the time of the Waldensians the Churches of God at that time were preaching—because of the Crusades and the wars and plagues and things like this going on—that the Day of the Lord was at hand! When you live—and you only live so long—in your generation, certain things take place that look like Christ is going to return. But you have to look at the major key events and ask: Has this happened or not? We'll do that today!

Verse 4: "John to the seven churches that are in Asia…"

We will also see that these are prophecies of the churches then, down through time, and at the end, where it appears that all seven churches are active again.

"…Grace and peace be to you from Him Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come; and from the seven spirits that are before His throne" (v 4).

The seven spirits are the seven eyes of God sent to and fro on the earth searching out those who are seeking God. Just like the first time it happened to you. Why did it happened to you, that you all of a sudden knew that you needed God. Well, you were seeking Him and one of the seven spirits communicated to God, 'Here's another one that could be called.' That's how you got into it.

Verse 5: "And from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth…."

Everyone thinks that they're free moral agents. We are to a degree. But Christ rules all the nations (Jer. 18) through the angels, watchers, Satan the devil and the demons. Christ rules over them!

"…To Him Who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to God and His Father…" (vs 5-6)—that's the ultimate goal!

This is something to understand as you read the Bible: there are thing that are a contemporary time, and then there's a thrust forward to the final completion. None of us are yet kings and priests, but we will be when the first resurrection takes place. We need to keep those things in mind.

"…to Him be the glory and the sovereignty into the ages of eternity. Amen" (v 6).

Then it talks about His coming, all eyes are going to see Him and that's going to be n amazing thing, indeed, when that happens.

Verse 8: "'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending,' says the Lord, 'Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come—the Almighty.'"

Let's understand everything here: Nothing in the book of Revelation happens until Christ and the Father say it is time. We need to keep that in mind.

Verse 17: "And when I [John] saw Him… [in His full glory in vision] …I fell at His feet as if dead; but He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.'"

Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last! He started it, He's going to finish it, and everything else in between, according to God's plan:. That's why we have the Holy Days:

• Sabbath
• Passover
• Unleavened Bread
• Pentecost
• Trumpets
• Atonement
• Tabernacles

All of those are various aspects and steps of the fulfillment of God's plan, and all of those can be found throughout the book of Revelation. Some here, some there, some other places.

Verse 18: "Even the One Who is living; for I was dead, and behold, I am alive into the ages of eternity. Amen. And I have the keys of the grave and of death."

That means that no one else can do it! You're not going to be raised from the dead or have your soul come to a séance and talk to your living relatives, because that's not through Christ. That's a satanic counterfeit. Christ is going to do it, and there are none who have ascended to heaven expect Christ, and none will ascend to heaven until the first resurrection.

Notice what else John says, and this is why we have the Bible. When you get down to it, it is clear that God gave us the Bible. When you look into how it was written and who wrote it, when it was written, and there were 40 men who wrote the entire Bible. In the New Testament only 8 men! Does God have the power to control what eight men write? Of course!

Verse 19: "Write the things that you saw, and the things that are, and the things that shall take place hereafter. The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven lampstands that you saw are the seven churches" (vs 19-20).

I'm not going to go through them because I cover them on Pentecost, which is next week. The seven churches represent the seven weeks of harvest leading up to Pentecost.

Rev. 2 & 3 brings us up to the point where Rev. 4 takes place, which is quite an interesting thing when you understand it. Think of this: John was the only one who saw the Throne of God; the only one in the Bible. Isaiah came close, but not as John did. It's interesting that John was descended from the house of Aaron.

Revelation 4:1: "After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard was as if a trumpet were speaking with me saying, 'Come up here…'"

• When does the resurrection take place? At the seventh trumpet!

So, this is a foretype of the resurrection, because:

• Where are you resurrected to? Up to the Sea of Glass, which is in heaven!
• What did John see?

"'…and I will show you the things that must take place after these things.' And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One was sitting on the throne" (vs 1-2). That had to be God the Father!

Verse 3: "And He Who was sitting was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius stone; and a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in its appearance. And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments; and they had on their heads golden crowns" (vs 3-4).

Here they are right in front of God. Everyone wants to know what do the 24 elders do? We are not told! But obviously, they help God run the universe and the earth! That's the best we can do with that.

Verse 5: "And proceeding from the thronewere lightnings and thunders and voices; and seven lamps of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, were burning before the throne. And before the throne was a sea of glass, like crystal…." (vs 5-6).

I don't know if this is the same sea of glass as Rev. 15. It doesn't make any difference, because God will make a sea of glass for those who are resurrected in the first resurrection.

Go back to Exo. 24 when Moses and the 70 elders of Israel saw God, He was walking on a sea of glass right above Mt. Sinai. So, we have a type of it here. That took place shortly after—probably a day after—Pentecost, because the Ten Commandments were given on Pentecost.

Rev. 5 shows that only Christ—Who was slain—can open the book!

Daniel 10:21—Gabriel says to Daniel: "But I will show you that which is written in the Scripture of Truth…." That's in heaven! Everything that we have written here is also written in heaven.

Here is this scroll, and John was weeping and crying because no one was able to open it and then he was told:

Revelation 5:4: "And I was weeping greatly because no one was found worthy to open and to read the book, or to look into it. Then one of the elders said to me, 'Do not weep. Behold, the Lion Who is of the tribe of Judah… [that's Christ as the Warrior] …the Root of David, has overcome to open the book, and to loose its seven seals.' Then I saw, and behold, before the throne and the four living creatures and before the elders was standing a Lamb ashaving been slain…" (vs 4-6)—the New Testament Christ!

It's like a coin that has two sides, or a sword that has two edges. If you see one side of it, then there's always the other side of it. That's it, Christ the Savior!

Verse 7: "And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him Who sits on the Throne."

Christ is the One Who is going to open the seals. Christ lays everything out for us, the way that He has desired, according to what God the Father has said, and given to Him.

This is so profound that the rest of Rev. 5 is a great exaltation of God and a praise to God the Father and Jesus Christ by every living thing on the earth.

When are the seals open? The first one we don't know! We'll look at the seals so we can get a time-setting that we need as we're going forward. We need to come to the point of the events just before the mark of the beast and what those events are, so that we can see exactly the flow of events so we can have a good idea of when it's going to be.

Revelation 6:1: "And I looked when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures say, like the sound of thunder, 'Come and see.' And I looked, and behold, there was a white horse; and the one who was sitting on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, and to conquer" (vs 1-2).

First mistake in interpretation of the prophecy of this verse is that some think that's Christ. NO! Christ does not come until Rev. 19, so this is the false prophet or the false Christ.

We all know, because I've covered this recently, the different religions are coming together, slowly but surely. They are all the daughters of Babylon the Great.

That's going to be something that is going to help propel the world to come together. Those who runt he world have been thinking about getting it together with the one-world order for a long time. Every time it looks like they're getting close to it, something happens. This time it was Donald Trump! But that still doesn't stop them from what they're doing, it puts it on a different time schedule that we may have anticipated. But that time schedule is God's time schedule. Notice that he has a bow, but no arrows, so this must be the false prophet.

The second seal is when the King of the North comes against the King of the South (Dan. 11). Then things start unfolding pretty quickly through there. This begins the three and a half year Tribulation. It comes all the way down through Rev. 6:17.

Then we have the 144,000, and here's an interesting thing: IF all the 12 tribes of Israel—minus the Jews—the Jews say have been absorbed into the Gentiles. IF that's the case, how are you going to have 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes?

This also shows that they are still alive as physical human beings. {note our book: America and Britain: Two Nations that Changed the World by Philip Neal. That will help you understand the things that are going on.

We're not going to go through Rev. 7-11 because those all go in a straight line. This is about the only place where you have a straight-line chronology of events beginning with the seven churches down through history, the event of God's Throne in heaven above. Rev. 6-10 all has to do with the great calamities and wars that coming on the earth.

Rev. 11—where we have the two witnesses. Everybody likes to think that he or she is going to be one of the two witnesses. You'll find out when you get the series of Daniel/Revelation that the two witnesses will come from the Jews when they build the temple. We know that the temple must be built. They have a lot of things ready, but it hasn't started to be built, yet. They're still blinded as to where the real place should be.

We have a DVD: Jerusalem & The Lost Temple {truthofGod.org} It's south of the Mosque of Omar, not where the mosque is now, with all of those stones still stacked one on top of another.

• What did Jesus say of the temple?
• What did He tell His disciples (Matt. 24; Mark 13; Luke 21)?

There will not be one stone left upon another! Where the Mosque of Omar is cannot be where the temple was because the stones are still on top of each other. It's south of there!

The temple must be built! That will not start until there is the covenant of Dan. 9:27, the last seven years. That gives guaranteed protection to the Jews to build the temple!

There has to be a temple built because we know that there's the abomination that makes desolate. That didn't happen in 70A.D. But it happens just before Christ returns (2-Thess. 2).

Rev. 11 comes to a climax when the two witnesses are killed, but are not buried and they lie in the streets of Jerusalem for three and a half days. Then there's a voice from heaven that says, 'Come up here!' Immediately as the two witnesses are going up, the trumpet sounds and the resurrection takes place. That comes along in one continuous connection.

Rev. 12 & 13 are different. Now we're going to find out how we got to the place of the resurrection described here in Rev. 11 and then we see it again in Rev. 14 & 15.

• How did we get there?
• What is God's plan?

This bring us to Rev. 12, which is really interesting and also gives us a clue of a time-setting for when the mark of the beast will be enforced. But remember, it has to be active before it's enforced! Maybe you never thought of that, but we'll see that.

Revelation 12:1: "Then there appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and having the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."

This is symbolic of God's plan of eternal spiritual Israel and all the nations that go with it! One woman out of that system was selected to bring forth the Messiah, and that was Mary. So, we have God's overall plan, and you can say that that's before He created the earth (2-Tim.1:9[transcriber's correction]). Here we get a glimpse into it.

Verse 2: "And being with child, she cried in travail, and was in pain to deliver…. [v 3 goes back in time a long way and comes up to this particular point when Christ was born]: …And another sign was seen in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads; and his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth…." (vs 2-4). That's Satan and the angels' rebellion (Isa. 14; Ezek. 28)!

This is why a lot of these prophecies get a little difficult to understand. Things are blended together from the beginning to the ending. Didn't Christ warn us about that right at the first? Yes, indeed!

"…And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to deliver, so that he might devour her child when she gave birth" (v 4).

Isn't that interesting? Satan was there to kill Christ right from the day of His birth. What prophecy does that go back to? Many! What was the first one? Gen. 3:15!

Verse 5: "And she gave birth to a man Child, Who was to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her Child was caught up to God and His Throne."

That's the shortest summary you can have of the preaching of the Gospel and the life of Christ. So, in this one verse you have Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It tells all about what he did, how he did it, and the apostles that He called, taught, and all of those things.

Verse 6: "And the woman escaped… [this is different from the one a little later; the woman is the Church] …into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there for a thousand two hundred and sixty days."

A day in prophecy is a year in fulfillment—1,260 years! Take that time-line from 325A.D. with the enforcement of Sunday and the fleeing of the true Christians to Northern Italy and the Alps of the Piedmonts, and into Southern France. There they were for 1.260 years.

John Gunether has a tremendous history about how it was with the Waldensians: where they went, what they did, some of the leading men had their own Bibles, their own translation. They were evangelizing Europe and that tied into what now is known as the Celtic Christian Church in Britain. There was a great New Testament Church in Britain right after the days of Paul. It's very likely that he went there.

What happened at the end of 1,260 days? Peace against persecution and killing the Christians, and burning them at the stake! Then there's a time period after that, which is one yet ahead of us. There's a great gap of time—500+years, maybe a little less, maybe a little more;

Verse 7: "And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred. But they did not prevail, neither was their place found any more in heaven" (vs 7-8).

That's very interesting the way this comes about. I want you to stop and think—I'll bring a sermon once I have a little more understanding of it:

• What was one of the key things that you may have watched on television recently that shows that there will be war in heaven?
• Such as we have not known?
• What was that?

It started out as a campaign promise by Donald Trump! The Space Force!

• Did you see the unveiling of the flag? The earth with a black background of the heavens with stars and this delta shaped rocket up in space!
• Why do we need a Space Force? We need to protect our assets that we have up there!
• What's going to happen?
• What are the other nations going to do?
• What do you think China is going to do? They are going to build the same thing!
• What do we already have up in space, and have had it there for years? The International Space Station!

We know for sure that the mark of the beast will not be enforced when this war takes place. I'll show you that in a little bit.

(go to the next track)

Let's continue on in our overview of Revelation. How close are we to the enforcement of the mark of the beast. Like everything else, you don't all of a sudden go to war. What do you have to do? Prepare! Build! Train!

There are a lot of things going on leading up to the enforcement! We're going to see, just like everything else that Satan does, he brings a benefit!

I want to point out the things that are going to take place. There's going to be war in heaven. Satan and his angels are going to be cast down. This has not yet happened. This will happen and when it does happen everything is going to flow really fast! But what are they going to have to do? They're going to have build the rockets, the space planes! Pres. Trump said that they now have a weapon that is 17 times faster than any other weapon on earth. There are a lot of things that are going to have to take place.

This war is going to take place and Satan and his angels are going to be cast down (Rev. 12:9

Revelation 12:10: "And I heard a great voice in heaven say, 'Now has come the salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ because the accuser of our brethren has been cast down, who accuses them day and night before our God. But they overcame him…'" (vs 10-11).

This is important, because all Christians must overcome, but that means at the end-time there is going to be a lot of pressure upon those who are true Christians. It's going to be a difficult time.

"…and they loved not their lives unto death" (v 11). This ties in with the fifth seal of Rev. 6—the martyrdom of the saints!

Verse 12: "'Therefore, rejoice you heavens and those who dwell in Them. Woe to those who inhabit the earth and the sea! For the Devil has come down to you, having great wrath because he knows that he has only a short time.' And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the man-Child" (vs 12-13).

That leads up to the great martyrdom! Persecution always comes first. How did Hitler do? He got the German people used to hearing bad things about the Jews! So, when they started doing things to the Jews that they did, everyone was prepared. It's going to be likewise here.

Verse 14 shows that some of the Church will be taken to a place of safety, and they'll be taken by the angels (Luke 17). There have been those who have proclaimed that they're going to buy the area in Jordan where Petra is because that's where the place of safety is. That may be the place of safety, but we don't know for sure. But it's very possible.

But you're not going to go there because you have a plane ticket or you know someone. You're going to go there because you know God! You're going to go there because you're faithful! If you don't go, then what do you have to do? You have to be faithful and endure to the end!

Verse 15: "And the serpent cast water out of his mouth as a river, so that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed up the river that the dragon had cast out of his mouth. Then the dragon was furious with the woman and went to make war with the rest of her seed… [this is when the martyrdom gets really full blast, right here] …who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" (vs 15-17).

Rev. 13 begins by backing up in time. It's not a straight chronological thing. This will help give us an understanding when the mark of the beast will be enforced. However, we're going to see that in order for it to be enforced, it must already be here, but not all have taken it!

Revelation 13:1: "And I stood on the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."

This is a whole new world order! They have been trying to get this together since the League of Nations. That failed! The United Nations in 1945 is still going.

Will it be the United Nations? or Will the United Nations be kicked out of America and go to Europe—Switzerland—where the U.N. owns all the property that belonged to the League of Nations?

Verse 2: "And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and his feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne and great authority." This shows a combination of the world's great powers!

Verse 3: "And I saw one of his heads as if it were slain to death, but his deadly wound was healed; and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast."

Here is when all the nations come together in this great world government. There may be a good number of them already there, just like we have with the United Nations today. But the U.N. has no power! They do not have a leader who rules the world, so that hasn't yet happened. But it will happen when this event occurs. It's going to be quite a thing. Think of it this way:

A great world ruler is doing great and marvelous things for the earth, bringing the nations together. The religions are all together and everybody is one accord because God has put it in their heart to be in one accord. Everyone is going to take this as being a great thing, and it's going to bring peace to the earth. Let's see what they do:

Verse 4: "And they worshiped the dragon, who gave his authority to the beast…."

• What authority is that?
• What is Satan's authority?
• What did he tell Jesus when he was tempting Jesus? If you will fall down and worship me, all these nations and the glory of them will be Yours!

That's rule of the whole world!

"…And they worshiped the beast…" (v 4)—because his healing is going to be like a resurrection from the dead!

But the false prophet is working with the beast, and if he goes in and lays hands on the beast, and the beast recovers miraculously, then he's going to 'God in the flesh'! Then what is he going to do when that happens? He's going to go into the temple that the Jews will have built, and say that he's God!

The whole earth is going to worship him, and that's when the Great Tribulation begins!

The book of Revelation brings you up to a certain point and then it back down and bring another part of the plan to take place up to a certain point and brings them together. Now let's see how that works this way:

Verse 4: "And they worshiped the dragon, who gave his authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, 'Who is like the beast? Who has the power to make war against him?' And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him; and authority was given to him to continue for forty-two months" (vs 4-5).

So, you have 42 months and 42 months=84 months, seven years! The treaty in Dan. 9:27 is seven years, and in the midst of the week that's when this event occurs.

Verse 6: "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. And he was given power to make war against the saints, and to overcome them…" (vs 6-7).

That ties in with Rev. 12:17. See how this happens. We came up to the point of the martyrdom of the saints (Rev. 12) then in Rev. 13 it backs away from that and shows how the system was developed. Then who comes out of the system? How does that happen? Rev. 13! It then brings us right up to the same place: martyrdom of the saints!

"…and to overcome them; and he was given authority over every tribe and language and nation…. [the whole world! Worldwide government] …And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If anyone has an ear, let him hear" (vs 7-9).

Quite a thing, isn't it? Yes, indeed! Now it backs up in time. It's just like a movie, If you're watching a movie, or if you watch the things that they have on WWII, they will show the Western front come up to a certain point, then they'll show the Easter front come up to a certain point. That's what they did with North Africa. They had to first take out North Africa. Then they had to stop the Germans coming into Russia, and then they had to prepare for the invasion of Western Europe into France. This is the same thing, it backs up:

Verse 11: "And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon… [false Christianity or a world religion] …and he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him… [the whole world] …and he causes the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed" (vs 11-12).

Yes, this must be God manifested in the flesh; this is the Christ!

NO! This is the antichrist!

What did Jesus say in Matt. 24? Be on guard for there shall be false prophets and false christs, and that's right at the time that it talks about the abomination of desolation in the temple. Don't go after them! Jesus said that they would do 'signs and wonders.'

Verse 13: "And he performs great wonders, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from heaven in the sight of men."

• What are they going to say? This is just like Elijah calling fire down from heaven to devour the soldiers who were coming after him!
• Why will the whole world accept this? Because seeing is believing!

Verse 14: "And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by means of the wonders that were given to him to perform in the sight of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image for the beast, which had the wound by the sword, yet, was alive." You can see the euphoria of all people: 'Now we're together; now we're all one. Now we can come together.'

Verse 15: "And he was given power to give life to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast also could speak; and he causes everyone who will not worship the image of the beast to be killed."

You know how that's going to happen. Look at how many people today in America that if they could really kill Christians and get away with it, they would do it. Their minds are being programmed, and each succeeding generation that comes along have been all programmed into these things.

Verse 16: "And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, to receive a mark in their right hands, or in their foreheads so that no one may have the ability to buy and sell unless he has the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (vs 16-17).

Two hundred years ago this could not have been a reality. Even a hundred years ago it couldn't have been. But look at today. I gave a sermon about seven years ago Mark of the Beast is Here with Digital Angel (2002) and that is exactly true; it is here!There are those who are taking it voluntarily!

It's not yet enforced. So, I've got some reports to read:

People are Getting Microchipped in Sweden, and It's Pretty Normal By Stacey Naggiar {https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/y3madg/people-are-getting-microchipped-in-sweden-and-its-pretty-normal}

You read in the book of Revelation what's going to happen to those who have the mark of the beast. Those curses coming upon them are not going to happen until some time after they get the mark. But now with all the technology that we have today, you can make it so that no one can buy or sell unless they have the mark.

HELSINGBORG, Sweden—Jowan Österlund lays down a sterile cloth, puts on gloves, and uses a needle to slide a microchip under Micco Grönholm's skin. The whole process takes only a couple minutes. "I'm a cyborg," Grönholm tells VICE News.

Programmed by all the modern movies!

The radio frequency identification technology that the chip uses has been around for decades…

You have to have a society that is used to it. You have to have a society who uses digital things. Then it's quite normal.

Look at it this way, and this happens to be from time to time: Here in the building in the men's room we have automatic water if you put your hands under the faucet. I go into the market in Knob Hill and use their restroom and I put my hands under the faucet and no water comes, because they have an old fashioned tap, you have turn it on and off. People get used to it. It's like doors that open automatically. You get used to it. If you're used to it and then you have to open a door yourself, you say, 'Why don't they have this automatic? That's the society we are in!

…but the idea of implanting it under the skin seems pretty dystopian. It can be used to enter doors—like your office, home, or gym—to log into computers, and even to make contactless payments.

Did you know that in China they have virtually no money at all. Everybody has a phone and you click your smart phones together to make the transaction. Now that's what they're doing in Sweden.

Österlund, a self-proclaimed science fiction nerd and the founder and CEO of Biohax International, says he has chipped around 6,000 Swedes in the past six years. He chalks up its success to Sweden's culture of openness.

Already here!

 "The geopolitical situation historically gives us the kind of initial higher trust in the government. I think a lot of people would be way more apprehensive in a lot of countries," Österlund said.

Walk through Sweden's bustling capital Stockholm and you'll see what he means. Abandoned cash machines, card-only parking meters, market vendors who only accept mobile payments -- all reflect how nearly all aspects of life in Sweden are digitized.

Everything!

 "Ninety-seven percent of the transactions are done without bills," Anders Ygeman, Sweden's minister for energy and digital development, told VICE News.

You just get on your smart phone or computer and just start paying all your bills. You can use it with that chip in your hand. You just hold it up to wherever the device is to receive it and it's automatic.

I saw that here in a store in Hollister. A woman made the purchases, and she's got one of these little wrist computers—like a watch—and she bought her groceries and the machine that was there was now programmed to take it, so she put here wrist up there and paid it with her watch.

Why so many pro-lifers are worried about Bill Gates' charity
April 22, 2020 {https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/why-so-many-pro-lifers-are-worried-about-bill-gatess-charity}

First of all, Bill Gates has long been obsessed with population control….

Those who are in the inner circle of the world order want to reduce the population. They have killed a lot of them through the vaccinations, through the Gates foundation.

• What are we looking at today? Here we have the Wuhan virus!
• What do we hear? You have to be tested and you have to be tracked!
• Guess who has made the devices to do that? Bill Gates and other digital companies!

…Back in 2003, he told Bill Moyers that global health initiatives meant that parents often realized they didn't need to have so many children. Moyers asked him where his passion for the issue came from: "But did you come to reproductive issues as an intellectual, philosophical pursuit? Or was there something that happened? [W]as there a revelation?"

 "When I was growing up, my parents were always involved in various volunteer things," Gates responded. "My dad was head of Planned Parenthood. And it was very controversial to be involved with that. And so it's fascinating."

He's donated generously to International Planned Parenthood. And he's even proposed issuing digital certificates" that people can produce to prove they've received the coronavirus vaccination, when such a thing becomes a reality.

In other words sterilization vaccinations!

The truth is that Bill and Melinda Gates have a view of global health that includes—and promotes—abortion, the reduction of fertility, and sterilization.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a against the vaccinations. The vaccinations they're proposing now is this, via Bill Gates, Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx. You get a vaccination and in it is a special identification number that goes into your entire system showing that you have receive the Wuhan virus vaccination.

Alan Dershowitz—the great Libertarian—has already proclaimed that the Supreme Court will endorse forced vaccinations. What do you think it's going to do when the time comes for the mark of the beast? It's new global system! We're not there, yet, but we're getting very close.

 "Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating vaccine-strain polio epidemic that paralyzed 496,000 children between 2000 and 2017," Kennedy wrote.

The most frightening epidemics in Congo, the Philippines, and Afghanistan are all linked to Gates' vaccines.

The CDC has a large financial interest in pushing untested vaccines on the public…

Guess what the Wuhan virus vaccination will be? Highly untested!

There are already a lot of people, and you've probably seen with the groups in Michigan coming after their governor for shutting everything down. What was one of the signs that you saw? NO MARK OF THE BEAST

There are people who understand about the mark of the beast and what they're doing. You don't find that in any other country but America. We don't know what's going to happen, or how long this is going to take, and we don't know where it's going to go.

But there may be enough resistance in America to push it out quite a while. I don't know if this current Supreme Court will endorse forced vaccinations.

The CDC has a large financial interest in pushing untested vaccines on the public and WHO is even more under the control of Big Pharma. The organization is corrupt beyond the meaning of the word. "The WHO is a sock puppet for the pharmaceutical industry."—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Do you know why they don't want people to use Hydroxychloroquine? Because the drug companies can't make any money! That's been around for nearly 70 years. The President took it and I think he was wise to do that, and I think he did it to give a sign to Fauci—because Fauci has an interest in the Remdesivir that's coming out and it's expensive.

Fauci has a personal interest financially in it. He should step aside with any recommendations as to what to do. He completely unqualified! That's why I think we see Pres. Trump pushing to get the economy back. They would like nothing better than to collapse the whole economy and everybody would have to live off of paper money: But:

'Since we don't want paper money, we'll have another way so it will make it convenient for everyone. You can get a chip in your right hand. Now, if you're a government employee you can get one in your forehead because you're more important than other people.'

What will happen? You can't get food, you can't pay your bills, you can't pay your rent, you can't get job! That's what they want to bring upon us! But I think that this is round one—or two or three—in many rounds to bring this about.

"The WHO is a sock puppet for the pharmaceutical industry."—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.]

South African newspapers complained, "We are guinea pigs for the drug makers.

Because they have so many diseases in African countries. What they need to do is teach them sanitation. What's the first sanitation they need? A latrine for the feces! Just like in India, there is a great movement to train people to use toilets. They use the ground. That's what they should be teaching people to do, rather than coming in with these vaccinations that haven't been tested, and many of them die or get sick.

In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded a phase 3 trial of GSK's experimental malaria vaccine, killing 151 African infants and causing serious adverse effects including paralysis, seizure, and febrile convulsions to 1,048 of the 5,949 children.

In 2010, Gates committed $10 billion to the WHO saying, "We must make this the decade of vaccines."

What they want to do is put in sterilization vaccines so people can't have children!

In his recent media appearances, Gates appears confident that the Covid-19 crisis will now give him the opportunity to force his dictatorial vaccine programs on American children.

• How do all of these things come about? A little leaven leavens the whole lump!
• When anything good comes along who is there to pervert it? Satan the devil!

He takes advantage of it to make his own world in defiance against God!

The question is, how close are we to the enforcement of the mark of the beast? The first thing we need to know is already here! There are other approved versions that it can be an invisible tattoo.

It won't hurt you; you won't even see it! But you can buy and you can sell! You don't want your family to starve to death, do you?

It's already here!

When are they going to enforce it that causes them to be killed if they won't take it? It shows that the program is not going to be complete until the Beast Power receives the deadly wound and is healed!

• that's when everyone is going to receive it!
• that's when the true Christians are really going to be martyred

Because it will be very evident that those who are true Christians—and maybe a lot of Protestants with them—won't take the mark of the beast!Then they will have the authority to kill them.

If you don't think that will happen, watch any history of WWII. They killed a grand total—in the whole war, civilians and soldiers—100-million! Look at how they killed the Jews. When the Russians were coming on the eastern front against the Germans, and they were coming to the death camps in Poland, they had so many that they killed that they just dug deep pits and shot them in the back of the head and kicked their bodies in.

I want to tell you something very important: This world is EVIL! You look at all the things that are going on, and let that be a wakeup call to you, to me, to all of those who really love God! We need to stay close to God and we need to watch the things that are going on, because the time will come when the mark of the beast will no longer be voluntary. There will no longer be any money at all, and then what are you going to do?

You can't say that you'll take it—the mark of the beast—now and then get rid of it later. That's not going to happen! You've got to be on God's side all the time!

That's where we are with the mark of the beast! There are those out there actively working to bring about and this Wuhan virus is also a test case to see how far they can go. If they don't do it with this, there will be another one, another one, and another one until they succeed!
