Are we actually in them, the last days? I have no idea really, but I do have an opinion. Huge surprise I’m sure, so here we go. Let me start by pointing out that I am quite obviously not a prophet, so I don’t make predictions or prophecy’s, but if you are interested in opinion, pull up a seat and open up your mind, but not too far, because ultimately, I’m giving you something to look for and nothing more.

Everything looks like something. Gods written word is like that too. We read the words and never consider what that would look like if what we were reading, in every detail, were actually happening around us. I have an active imagination so part of my thinking process asks simple questions. What would the Antichrist look like if he were here right now, and what religious leader would quite easily support him in a way that would seem natural. Answer that and you will know what to look for in identifying both the false prophet and the Antichrist. In my opinion there is one religion that could quite easily support a leader like the Antichrist, especially if he were of the same faith. And someone like that would have the political authority to promise peace with its bitter enemy…. Israel. So I believe that the beast will be a Muslim. So who is the false prophet…. will he be an Ayatollah? Maybe. There is one more religion that could give this rising world leader the clout needed to come to power. It’s leader is the Pope. These are the things I am watching and waiting for.

The next simple question is What will the image of the beast be? A thousand years ago it would seem like magic to our imagination, and nine hundred years later it would seem exactly the same. Fifty years ago our imagination would dream up something mechanical, maybe robotic. I’m sure your mind has already said it….. AI. Between artificial intelligence technology, robotics and demonic influence, the masses will be more that happy to follow along with whatever they are commanded to do, and worship will be the command.

So now I guess I’ll share my opinion of just what the mark of the beast will be. Once again, in my imagination, I try to think of what the words would look like in reality. The words are infallible. Maybe the mark of the beast is like the image of the beast. By that I mean the both the image and the mark will use artificial intelligence. We are working on that right now by the way and every bit of this can be implemented at any moment.

That really only leaves one more thing….. There are hundreds of things actually but all of them will take place in rapid succession, and all of it will be breathtaking, but let us prepare for our roll according to our Creator’s will….

The Rapture. Aren’t we going to miss all these things you’ve been talking about? I hope so, I really hope so. In my opinion, we aren’t going anywhere until the end, but I hope I’m wrong, and I certainly could be wrong, but don’t lose faith when we are seeing all these things and wondering where Jesus is. Be happy that you have been chosen for these times and remain strong in your faith. All this is a lot to take when coming from an old guy with absolutely no credentials but here’s how you can find out for yourself and not be dependent on folks like me for your information.

Study. Read for yourself.

Amen.
