Almost every year, there’s a new release for a new version of an iPhone, Samsung or other cellphone brand. Some are fanatic about getting the latest new tech. I admit, having a GPS on my phone is life changing and cannot image going back to written directions on a piece of paper. The first time I bought a smart phone, I downloaded so many apps that I never used. Little did I know that all or most of those apps that I was not using were using me for data collection. Even worse, I didn’t even need a phone to have my privacy invaded, but a gmail account sufficed. Tying my gmail account to my iPhone was just another opportunity for google to know where I go, what time and if I tied my finances to my phone…what I spend my money on. With facial recognition and touch ID, our face and fingerprints are being collected and stored.
Having technology makes things in life a bit more convenient, but seems to come with a price, one that is traded for our privacy. Unfortunately there aren’t regulations for this and we have to pay some company to wipe our information off the internet.
But all this data collection and privacy invasion is not just from mobile phones or email accounts and seems to be getting worse. Most television brands out there collect data. If you’ve ever had a conversation with someone while watching TV on a Roku, you’ll start to see commercials based on your conversation. Similarly, Amazon’s Alexa or other A.I. assistants listen to every conversation close by. If you have a conversation about buying a certain product, you’ll start seeing ads pop up that relate to that recent conversation.
Technology can also be used for government entities to spy on us or they can go to companies like Google or Apple to grab our information. There are retired cia agents interviewed on various podcasts that reveal how they are able to get into cellphones, access their microphone and camera to see and hear them and can do the same thing with computers or TVs. On an iPhone, the green dot at the top indicates camera use and the yellow, microphone use, indicators to look out for.
If you have a newer car model where you can sync your phone to your car, data from your phone is being collected and with some newer cars can collection information from conversations, where you go and what time.
We also have office or social media accounts like Google, Meta, Facebook or Microsoft where we can log in with one account for all. Just imagine how much information is being collected with that one account accessing multiple accounts. The one that’s been collecting our data maybe longer than all the other ones are our credit cards.
It seems that invading our privacy and spying on all of us has been profitable for many companies to collect and sell our information to other companies without much regulation. But it’s not getting any better, with A.I., more information on us can be collected and analyzed, even when the phone has been turned off. Some people who have conversations with A.I., wonder why it knows them so well, if they only knew how much information it has on them. Most especially, if the A.I. phone is connected to their car, their security cameras all around their house, a home A.I. system, computer, Alexa, and their kids A.I. stuffed toy, A.I pet, and soon to come…home helper robot.
So much privacy invasion and we are building data centers to support A.I., which may be the beast system described in the bible. The number of the beast as 666, the letter “w” in Hebrew translates to 6 so the world wide web or www translates to 666, per Jonathan Cahn’s explanation.
“Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.” Revelation 13:18
A beast system to support A.I. and retain data on everyone is concerning. This system would not only be a great way for all our information to be accessed by a certain person, but with the right tools, it can allow for complete control over people.
With technology, like flock cameras, our routes can be tracked from one state to another, our license plate can be recorded with each camera along major roads and bridges. Satellites also enable us to track and locate with coordinates.
A rollout of digital currency can allow for an immediate freeze on our bank accounts. With A.I. taking over jobs, people like Elon Musk are discussing universal income, which is essentially living off the government, possibly with free healthcare as well. Just another way to control society. With digital I.D. rolling out in different countries, like the UK and being pushed with some health insurance plans or included in the latest phone updates, our identity will be tied to our phones, where we go, what we purchase, our interests, conversations, people we associate with, where we work, etc.
In the book of Revelation, the bible describes an anti-Christ who will cause all types of people to receive a mark. It does not say, “force.” With the control of information or the media, truth can be deliberately hidden, taken off-line. Information can also be fed to the public in a way to make what’s really happening non-threatening when in actuality, may cause harm in someway. When it comes to making a profit, some companies, are not concerned with the harm that it’s innovations may cause. For example, the creation of A.I. relationships. It learns about the person. These companies hire relationship experts to help them build their product and cause people to keep paying to subscribe so that they can keep having conversations with A.I. They’ll push to make it look normal, when in actuality, it’s insanity. Many people that work to build A.I., are coming out pushing for regulations, knowing what harm it can cause to humanity. Nevertheless, it seems that what’s more important to some is being ahead of the A.I. race.
With the right influence over the media and technology in place, we are creating the perfect environment for complete control over society. All we need is a horrid tyrant in charge and it’s all over for us.
The bible in the book of Revelation and other books written by the prophets and those that followed Christ, talks about the end times where a vile leader will come to power, described as an anti-Christ.
The bible describes the anti-Christ in 1John 2:22 as, “a liar…who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ who denies the Father and the Son.”
Thus, describes anyone who’s not a Christian, because all other religions do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
This vile ruler will convince society to be marked in order to buy or sell, which could be from financial intensives or paint the picture as a show of being technologically advanced, potentially in the name of safety or just survival. The mark will not be limited to a certain group of people, but available for all.
In Revelation 13:16-17, “He (the Anti-Christ) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads….no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Seems like a necessity, although it continues on and reveals what will happen to those that take the mark.
Revelation 14:9-10. “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.”
Technology can allow complete control where no one will be able to escape. With self-driving cars, it can be taken over, trapping the rider inside, while being taken elsewhere. With digital IDs, cameras on the streets, satellites, facial recognition from our phones, trackers on our phones or cars, digital currency to freeze accounts, there’s no escaping. With a great leader there’s no concern, but with an evil tyrant anti-Christ, that’s very worrisome. Even more, this situation has been predicted in the bible almost two-thousand years ago and many of what was describe to happen in the last days before Christ comes back has already occurred.
The next time you get excited over the latest piece of technology or anything with A.I., facial recognition or the next time you log into several accounts with one, think twice. Change the settings on your phone. Keep A.I. away when having private conversations or stay away from your TV, Alexa, security cameras, etc. Yes, technology makes life easier and A.I. as well, but since there aren’t much regulation for spying and data collecting, we need to take precautions if we don’t want all private information out there.
