Brought to you by the Continuing Church of God

“Bringing you news and analysis of world events in light of Bible prophecy.”

This is a mandate of the Continuing Church of God.

Will your wristwatch tell on you? Is your cell phone watching you? Does your computer track your every move? What about Alexa? Is she really that friendly?

What, if anything, do any of these devices have to do with the Mark of the Beast?

Are certain devices bringing liberty or being a prelude to 666 type totalitarian controls?

Are steps toward digitalization taking place in Europe? What about in the United States?

Will technological devices ultimately aid the Beast in forcing all, both rich and poor, slave and free, to accept the Mark of the Beast or go hungry? Will your cell phone be queried to determine whether or not you can sell your house, or buy a car?

Have you ever even considered the possibility that the ‘Mark of the Beast’ include be something you wear?

Well consider it!

As we get closer and closer to the time of the end and the beginning of the Great Tribulation Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on these questions. There will be no shadow of turning with the full light of the word of God shining on the Beast.

00:00Greetings, friends. This is Steve Dupuy for the Bible News Prophecy Program with Dr. Bob Thiel,

00:10bringing you news and analysis of world events in light of Bible prophecy.

00:14Dr. Thiel, as we get closer to the end of this age, there has to be more and more telltale signs

00:21that the dreaded 666 of the Book of Revelation is creeping in on humanity. Do you see any signs

00:28on the horizon? Oh, yeah. Governments around the world have been implementing things to make it

00:32easier to monitor and control their people. For example, over in Europe, Estonia seems to have

00:38taken the lead in digitizing its residents. I saw this article yesterday. The headline was,

00:42How Estonia Outpaced the Rest of Europe at Digitalization. The article says,

00:49Germany has been described as an analog country in a digital world. Meanwhile,

00:53Estonia has digitized all its government services. Lucas Ives, until last year at Estonia's

01:00government's chief information officer, and the author of a recent study called The End of

01:05Bureaucracy, took a look at Estonia versus German use of technology. He said, currently,

01:13about 62% of Germans use digital services in the government, while in Estonia, it's over 90%.

01:20Furthermore, electronic identity verification

01:24is used by 90% of Estonians. They use their national EIDs to access government services,

01:33but that's less than 10% of Germans. So the reason for this is simple. The Estonian software is more

01:39user-friendly, provides access to both public and private sector services, including retail banking.

01:46So yeah, if it's simple and easy, more people are going to end up digitized.

01:49Of course, that's not going to end bureaucracy. When I saw the article,

01:53it brought to mind a scripture in 2 Peter 2.19. I'm going to read this from the New King James.

02:00While they promised them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption,

02:03for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

02:10So your thought is that the ease and seemingly innocent use of digitization

02:15will lead people into bondage by their newfound liberty?

02:19Yes, because, you know, look, there's a lot of advantages to digitalization and certain things

02:24on the computers, etc.

02:25But this is going to lead people into it because one day we're going to see a totalitarianism rise up

02:34worse in various places in the world, but particularly in Europe, according to Bible prophecy.

02:41Is any digital pushing going on in the United States other than in Europe?

02:45Oh, yes. U.S. Health and Human Security Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants all Americans to wear

02:53health tracking devices. Here's a headline from the Huffington Post, an article.

03:00RFK Jr. wants all Americans to wear health tracking devices. Security experts have concerns.

03:07During a House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee hearing,

03:10Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he'd like all Americans to use wearable health products

03:17such as Fitbits, Apple Watches, Oura Rings, Whoop and Glucose monitors to control their health

03:23and take responsibility for it. While this remains just a suggestion and not a mandate,

03:29it's been announced that the Department of Health and Human Services will launch a campaign

03:32to encourage Americans to wear these devices. Wearables can track your heart rate,

03:38menstrual cycle, fitness regimen, blood sugar levels, sleep patterns, location, and more.

03:44While they can be helpful for the average person, these devices store lots and lots of our data.

03:50Is it safe for all this information to be out there? What happens is data ends up in the wrong

03:55hands, including the government's. David Cronister, CEO of Parameter Security, said there are always

04:01safety concerns when it comes to connected technology. And your wearable device most likely

04:08to be connected to your smartphone, meaning it has access to your personal data.

04:15And he also said no device or platform is completely secure. Attackers often target

04:21back-end systems such as cloud servers via compromised employee credentials or software vulnerabilities.

04:27So that's the end of that article. Anyway, while technology can help some,

04:32it does allow for data collection and monitoring. Wearables, to me at least, look like another 666 prelude.

04:40That's an interesting word. To me, wearables just means clothes. Tell us more about what you mean by

04:47wearables and their association with 666.

04:50666. Well, whether or not associated with 666, wearables include things like digital watches,

04:57possibly armbands, perhaps forehead bands, maybe gloves, and even implants. Now, what triggered my

05:04interest in this topic this week is I saw this other article, and here's the title of this one.

05:11The Wearables Trap, How the Government Plans to Monitor, Score, and Control You.

05:16It says bodily autonomy, the right to privacy and integrity over your own body is rapidly vanishing.

05:23The debate now extends beyond forced vaccinations or invasive services to include biometric surveillance,

05:30wearable tracking, and predictive health profiling. We're running a new age of algorithmic

05:36authoritarian control where our thoughts, moods, and biology are monitored and judged by the state.

05:41This is the dark promise behind the newest campaign by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to push for a future where

05:47all Americans wear biometric health tracking devices. Under the guise of public health empowerment,

05:54this initiative is nothing less than a normalization of 24-7 bodily surveillance,

05:59ushering in a world where every step, heartbeat, and biological function is monitored not only by

06:04private companies, but by the government. It says, you know, surveillance has always arrived dressed as

06:10progress. Every new wave of surveillance technology, such as GPS trackers, red light cameras, facial

06:17recognition, ring doorbells, Alexa smart speakers, have been sold as tools of convenience, safety, or

06:24connection. But in time, each became a mechanism for tracking, monitoring, or controlling the public.

06:30What began as voluntary has become inescapable and mandatory.

06:35We've seen this dystopia before. In the 1973 film, Sollant Green, the elderly become expendable

06:42when resources grow scarce. Now, the offer of this article says, my good friend, Nate, or excuse me, Nat

06:50Hentoff, an early principal warner about this years ago. He once was pro-choice, but now he's come to

06:59believe that the erosion of medical ethics, particularly the growing acceptance of abortion,

07:05euthanasia, and selective care, was laying the groundwork for institutionalized dehumanization.

07:14He warned that government sanctions will end to the intentional loss of certain lives. It's a slippery

07:23slope because various parts of the population will be considered expendable.

07:29Hentoff referred to this as naked utilitarianism, quote, that the greatest good for the greatest

07:34number. If individuals are in a way, they've got to be gone. So, not necessarily murdered,

07:40but made comfortable until they die at deliberate speed. Maybe we can speed it up.

07:45And then the article concludes with the article, excuse me, the concern is no longer theoretical.

07:48Anyway, the article mentioned smartphones, and they are also a surveillance tool right now as well.

07:57Dr. Thiel, in your opinion, is every person involved with these government survey programs

08:03all across the globe involved in a great conspiracy? Or are there other factors at work?

08:10Oh, I think most people involved in this think they're doing the right thing. Okay,

08:14they think it's actually good. But there is a grand conspiracy, but not the way most people think.

08:19This is because Satan is a grand conspirator, and he's out there affecting people. It says in Ephesians 6,

08:2612, the apostle Paul warns that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,

08:32against powers, against rulers of darkness in this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in

08:37heavenly places. Satan's got a plan. Now, back in 2012, I've warned about some of these things. I said,

08:44the ability to control buying and selling, et cetera, would be vastly aided by modern technology.

08:51Since then, smart phones have pretty much expanded everywhere, as well as AI.

08:58Ninety percent of Americans have cell phones with 91 percent having smartphones,

09:01similar over in Europe. Then we also got 5G. Now that on the phones, now that helps speed up

09:10attaining of knowledge. And they're also working on something called 10G to get things faster and faster.

09:16However, you know, the Bible warns that future faster development of knowledge is going to happen at the end times.

09:25Daniel 12, verse 4 says, But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end.

09:34Many will run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.

09:38But wouldn't the increase in knowledge be considered a good thing?

09:42Well, it should be. Yet the Bible warns that the godless will become, quote,

09:46inventors of evil things in Romans 1.30. And we've seen that in various ways.

09:51And what's called artificial intelligence, along with other technologies, are consistent with that prophecy.

09:59Not all increased knowledge is good, as humans often do bad things with knowledge.

10:04Now, in addition to wearable health trackers, we've seen things like a digital wallet,

10:08and there's more and more ways to make purchases over cell phones.

10:12You know, there are already AI, artificial intelligence wearables,

10:15as well as implanted chips that some actually use to buy and perhaps even sell.

10:20Now, the mark of the beast involves command breaking, but we also see several physical marks of digital technology,

10:29including some type of a wearable.

10:32Now, that being said, let's talk about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a moment.

10:36I don't think he's got nefarious reasons for his wearable proposal, and he makes a lot of proposals I actually like.

10:42But I don't think he's ever considered how it could have a connection with biblical prophecies that will be fulfilled for what's going to happen over in Europe.

10:53What specific biblical prophecies are you referring to?

10:58Bible prophecy shows that a militaristic European dictator is going to arise, and they're going to use some type of digital tech.

11:06Mobile phones, artificial intelligence, and other technology I think are going to be involved.

11:11In Revelation chapter 13, I'm going to read a little bit.

11:16First, we're going to read about starting verse 1.

11:19It says,

11:20Then I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rising out of the sea.

11:25Now, this beast is a European beast.

11:28And how do we know this?

11:29You see this sea down in verse 2.

11:32It's like a leopard, got feet like a bear, mouth like a lion.

11:36And you tie this in with a similar-sounding beast in Daniel chapter 7.

11:42It talks about the great sea, and the great sea of ancient times is the Mediterranean Sea.

11:47And the power that historically controlled the Mediterranean Sea was the old Roman Empire, which had the north and the south.

11:53And now you've got the European Union, which got the north.

11:56And ultimately, according to Daniel 11, verses 40 to 43, it'll end up with the south.

12:00So we know this is a European power.

12:03But notice that this power, in verse 3, one of his head looks mortally wounded.

12:09So people think, oh, Europe can't rise up again.

12:11But it says his wound is going to be healed.

12:15The world's going to marvel and follow this beast.

12:17It's going to be a warring power.

12:18He's going to blaspheme.

12:20It causes all kinds of problems.

12:22People on the earth are going to worship him, verse 8.

12:25But there's another beast.

12:27This is the Antichrist, rising up out of the earth.

12:31And he had two horns like a lamb.

12:33So he looks good to people, but he speaks like a dragon.

12:38And he's got various authority.

12:40He performs great signs, verse 13.

12:42He deceives the world through these signs, telling people to dwell near earth, to make an image of the beast who is wounded by the sword and live.

12:50So, verse 15, he's granted to give power to the breath of the image of the beast, that the image of the beast could speak and cause many who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

12:58I think AI will be used for that.

13:00Verse 16, he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave to receive a mark on their right hand and on their foreheads that no one can buy or sell unless she's got the mark for the name of the beast and the number of his name.

13:13Here's wisdom.

13:13Let him have his understanding.

13:15Calculate the number of the beast for his number of a man.

13:17His number is 666.

13:18Verse 16, part of it says, he causes all to receive a mark in their right hand or on their foreheads.

13:25The mark of the beast will include some type of wearable.

13:28An implanted chip is a type of wearable.

13:33I never would have thought the mark of the beast as being a wearable.

13:40Well, the ability to control buying and selling, forced worship, et cetera, is going to be aided by surveillance through modern technology, something on the hand or the forehead.

13:48This type of thing wasn't possible when Jesus had the apostle John write this down nearly 2,000 years ago.

13:58And, you know, well, we did a video called the mark of the cell phones and they are an issue.

14:02They don't read your mind.

14:03But wearables can, in a sense, they can read a lot about our bodies.

14:09Anyway, the mark of the beast is going to include some type of a wearable.

14:13Modern technologies are already setting the world up for the coming European beast to use 666 controls.

14:19Hopefully, Christians who see this will take steps to be a true Philadelphian Christian in these end times and not end up with the mark of the beast.

14:31Thank you, Dr. Thiel.
