Hacking Humanity

There is a passage in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 that describes the conditions of our times - it states:
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

The lawless one - described as the "Antichrist," is coming; that is a promise of Scripture.  We don't know when his reign will begin, but we can be sensitive to the signs all around us. The turmoil that we see in this world provides the condition for a leader who will come to make peace and ultimately bring all the nations together.  1st John tells us that the spirit of antichrist is at work in this world. So, what do we do?  We seek to live faithfully to our Lord, cognizant of what is transpiring around us, but focused on the work at hand that God has called us to do.

The Bible tells us in Revelation 13 that a one-world leader will come on the earth, and there will also be what has been termed a "false prophet" who commands those under this one-world government's authority to submit, to in essence, worship, the leader, or "the beast." We can read these words:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The pursuit of a better life motivates people to seek out all sorts of ways to improve themselves.  As we think about the resurrection, we recognize that our new life in Christ is beyond human achievement and cannot be attained by human means. And, that life enables us to be one with Him - forever.

Immortality is in the grasp of the believer in Christ, the one way to eternal life. But, human ingenuity has certainly been unleashed in order to try to artificially create a superior species through the melding of man and machine.

I came across an article on the Intercessors for America website by a gentleman named Keith Guinta of the website, The Wine Patch.  The article is entitled, What is a Human? Guinta called attention to the life and work of one Yuval Noah Harari. Certainly not a household name, one might think - the author says:

Why should anyone care about an Israeli author who lives outside of Tel Aviv with his husband of 20 years, even if Barack Obama did give rave recommendations of his work? Perhaps his role as Klaus Schwab’s envoy representing the World Economic Forum to prominent cabinet leaders around the world lends a hint.

He quotes from the doctor's appearance on 60 Minutes: "The idea that humans have a soul, or a spirit, or free will, or that nobody knows what is going on inside of me, or whatever I choose in an election or the supermarket is my free will — that’s over."

Guinta notes:

He goes on to say that the future masters of the planet will be decided by the people who own the most data. The collection of data en masse has been happening for many years via mobile devices, wearables, internet behavior, and the 24×7 secret service agents we deploy in our homes with cute names like, Hey Google, Siri, and Alexa.

That's apparently Phase I of this brave new world order, or whatever you want to call it. He writes:

Harari explains how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was an integral piece on the game board used to sink rebar for Phase II. He glibly explains, while discussing global vaccinations and mandates;

It is often said you should never allow a good crisis go to waste. Because a crisis is an opportunity to do ‘good reforms’ that in normal times, people would never agree to. But in a crisis, people have no chance. So let’s do it.

Then there's our old buddy Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum...Guinta writes:

In 2016, Klaus Schwab, the globalist who sits atop the World Economic Forum like the eye of Sauron over Mordor, said that by 2026, every person on the planet will be injected with a chip that will not only surveil biometric health but will;

…be a direct communication between our brains and the digital world. What we see is a kind of fusion of the physical, digital, and biological worlds. In the future, this new breed of transhumans will be able to just say, ‘I want to connect with someone’, and instantly their brains will be connected through the cloud.

How does this occur? One key might be patented technology from Dr. Charles Lieber, who formerly led the Chemistry and Chemical Biology department at Harvard, who "was able to deliver a nano-electronic brain-machine transducer into the human body with minimal immune response."  He received a 15 million dollar grant from the National Institutes of Health and worked with Tony Fauci for 15 nanotechnology patents.  Lieber also worked for the Wuhan lab in China. 

Harari says:

In terms of surveillance, people could look back in 100 years and identify the coronavirus epidemic as the moment a new regime of surveillance took over, especially surveillance under the skin which I think is the most important development of the 21st century.

As Guinta projects: "Under-skin nano-electronics will not only monitor and capture biometric data but will also invoke brain-to-cloud connective consciousness as human beings are transformed from purely organic beings into inorganic creatures. So when Harari tells us the technology is already here to hack human beings — believe him."

It's called transhumanism and may be on its way to a body near you, if the globalists have their way.  And, while there is great fervor for the prospect of Elon Musk getting his hands on Twitter, I'm not sure I want anyone with his view on the topic to be experimenting with my body, or anybody else's.  As an article on The Federalist website states:

Musk told the World Government Summit in 2017 that as humanity’s daily dependence on technology increases, humans should simply merge with machines.

“To some degree, we are already a cyborg,” Musk told the audience at the summit. For Musk, becoming a cyborg — a sort of superhuman with both biological and technological capabilities — is only one step away. Think Iron Man.

The article continues:

“I think one of the solutions that seems maybe the best is to add an AI layer,” Musk said in an interview in 2016, “Just as your cortex works symbiotically with your limbic system, your third digital layer could work symbiotically with you.”

On Twitter, Musk announced another method by which we could create “symbiosis with machines” — neural lace. Science Alert describes neural lace as, “a brain implant that can augment natural intelligence by hooking us up to computers.”

The author of the Federalist piece, Sarah Weaver, writes:

Musk’s support for a sort of transhumanist future is in line with that of the World Economic Forum’s founder Klaus Schwab, who wrote a book, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution,” on how the physical and digital worlds could be fused, “challenging ideas about what it means to be human.”

So, what does it mean to be human?  Well, for one thing, humanity, is created in the image of God, with a divine design.  Technology can be a powerful tool, and in the right hands, can be useful in a number of ways, even to augment physical deficiencies.  But, it can also be used to control and destroy if it gets into the wrong hands.  The work of the enemy is to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus said, and the wrong motives for the use of tech can lead to the fulfillment of this goal.

We also have to recognize, as it's been pointed out here on this program, that there is globalist ambition to control and dominate humanity.  The implementation of sophisticated technological surveillance is such a powerful possibility.  And, in the book of Revelation, the Bible speaks of a one-world leader who attempts to force people to receive a "mark" - on the forehead or hand.  Without this mark, no one can engage in commerce.  The "mark" becomes, in essence, a false way to life.  But, Jesus, in the midst of human manipulation and spiritual deception, offers the true way to life, eternal and abundant life, bringing salvation to those who surrender to Him.
