I didn't want to start an new thread just to post this and I haven't read this entire thread (it's realllllly long) but I thought this link could go here. They are doing ALL kinds of nano tech stuff now.....I thought this example was along those lines, but touted as "look at the amazing stuff humans can create/come up with! aren't we so awesome??!!"

Black mirror did an episode where they discussed bees that were drones for the purpose of pollination, they were also used to spy on people and to assassinate people. They were connected to AI, a supercomputer and facial recognition software. They could break through windows and fit through cracks. I think they killed by going in through the ear or nose or some other opening and burrowing in.

I've not watched but a few scenes from Black Mirror posted as illustrations of current technologies. I think that the c👁️a had a hand in their scripts like they did other predictive episodes of other series.
When I used to rent an occasional post apocalyptic tv series that was recommended by a friend, I watched Revolution, around 10 years ago.
I bring it up because it coincides with your example. The pilot begins with an end to the grid by a small group of oligarchs in an underground city. The theme seems very plausible. The second season introduces nanobots that are in the air. They organized into an AI hive mind and become the new enemy of humanity. I'm not convinced that it will become true, but I think there's a theme when it comes to this subject. Do you think someone is trying to tell us something?

Wow -- is this why China was testing everyone repeatedly?


Were they looking for healthy organs that would be a match?

The end is near or is it really just the beginning?

I think for some people they are really ready to turn over a new leaf if they can hope for something better, Its no good telling children its the end times for example. They will just give up when they hear that.

Nothing has changed. The Lord told us 2,000 years ago that where our treasure is there will our heart be also. He told us that we should not have our treasure here on earth where thieves break in, and rust and moths destroy it. Instead we should have our treasure in heaven.

Yes, the end for those that worship materialism is here, but we were told this two thousand years ago.

The problem is not with telling children the truth, the problem is with those that lie to children.

I already said that if you wanted to say that the leaven was put in the lump by the 1960s and that now in 2020 the whole lump was leavened that would be a reasonable statement.

Just think of the drug culture, you wouldn't find 80 year olds in the 60s who were doing drugs, but now that is common. The entire generation has been leavened with drugs, fornication, and many other concepts.

well When Mary had Jesus there was a bounty on his head and he had to flee to Egypt so even back then nobody wanted the Messiah to be born. If Herod had his way Jesus would have been killed at 2 years old.

Is no news really good news?

Is Crime Going Down, Or Have Democrat-Run Cities Just Given Up On Reporting It?

The left-leaning criminal justice nonprofit The Marshall Project, in commenting on the FBI’s annual release of crime statistics last November, noted, “The nation’s most thorough crime data collection program concluded it’s possible crime went up, went down or stayed the same.” Why the uncertainty? It “largely stems from the fact that 2021’s data was more incomplete than any in recent memory. … This year about 7,000 police agencies, covering about 35% of the U.S. population were missing.” To address the massive holes in the data from large cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, the Justice Department simply made an estimate.

It makes me feel sad for young mothers in these days who probably assume their brand new babies will grow up like other mothers witnessed for centuries. I remember when my daughter was new to this world I wasn't thinking, "Oh well, we might go home any day now" and hope God has mercy on her soul if she's too young to make a decision for Christ. Nope! Not at all....like most mothers/fathers I was looking forward to making a lot of memories and seeing her grow up, etc. But now that she's grown I tend to have more nilistic type thinking and assume I will never be a grandmother as much I would love to some day. The only part I don't mind is all the pains of getting super old and feeble, I guess. From the looks of it, if I don't die from something else, I'll get to leave this place in my early 60's!

Do you think that he might be the Antichrist? I mean he ticks off certain checklist points from watching the video:

Daniel 11:37 - He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all.

According to the video he is quite blasphemous. I looked up his wiki and it says that he's gay and in a same-sex marriage. Some people think that the "one desired by women" descriptor indicates that the antichrist is gay. I don't know if I agree with that, but what do you all think?

I think it is counterproductive to theorize on a name for the Antichrist.

Instead I think it is much more beneficial for everyone to know the prophecies, what he will do and how to recognize him when he is revealed.

For example, there are two people that have received a whole lot of theorizing that they are the antichrist and they also check off many of the boxes. I am pretty sure that neither one is, but then the enemy uses those allegations to mock and ridicule.

He will be relatively young, handsome, charismatic, and be promising peace and securty while at the same time being a master of intrigue. He will be the leader of one world government, etc., etc.
