Prayer Tips :
How to learn to pray.
In seeking the face of God, it’s pretty natural to feel separated from God, especially when the Holy Spirit makes you aware of your sins.
When people begin to ask God for something, they normally begin with, “God, I really need your help for I realize that I’m not a perfect person, that I actually have no right to ask you for this, Humbleness sets in and in most cases the person will start to weep before God. There’s an awareness of personal sin and failure. And the person knows that God is aware of it too.
There’s a feeling of, “Who am I kidding?” What they may not know is how they can receive God’s forgiveness for all their sin. They might not know that they can come into a relationship with God so that God will hear them. Prayer is the foundation for God to answering your call. God forgive all confessed sins and never recall them ever again.
How to Pray: The Foundation.
You must first begin a relationship with God for Relationship does matters. The starting point for any relationship is to seek the presence of the said person. Prayer is your gateway and Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of God. If you can’t pray and fear, call on someone to pray for you and start by praying in your thoughts. The mind is powerful and a creation of God and God even know what you are thinking, but he wants to hear your voice calling out unto Him, that you worship Him personally with your voice, your mind and spirit.
Joh 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Joh 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Joh 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Thus You don’t have to do gospel aerobics to jump between names when you pray to God. Just pray in the Name of Jesus. He is the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. God is Spirit.
Bybel Vers en Gebed vir Vandag
Maar toe Jesus dit hoor, antwoord Hy hom en sê: Moenie vrees nie; glo net, en sy sal gesond word.

Gebedswenke:
Hoe om te leer bid.
As jy die aangesig van God soek, is dit redelik natuurlik om geskei van God te voel, veral wanneer die Heilige Gees jou bewus maak van jou sondes.
Wanneer mense God vir iets begin vra, begin hulle gewoonlik met: “God, ek het regtig jou hulp nodig, want ek besef dat ek nie ‘n perfekte persoon is nie, dat ek eintlik geen reg het om jou hiervoor te vra nie, Nederigheid tree in en in die meeste gevalle sal die persoon voor God begin huil. Daar is ‘n bewustheid van persoonlike sonde en mislukking. En die persoon weet dat God ook daarvan bewus is.
Daar is ‘n gevoel van, “Wie maak ek ‘n grap?” Wat hulle dalk nie weet nie, is hoe hulle God se vergifnis vir al hulle sonde kan ontvang. Hulle weet dalk nie dat hulle in ‘n verhouding met God kan kom sodat God hulle sal hoor nie. Gebed is die fondament vir God om jou oproep te beantwoord. God vergewe alle belyde sondes en onthou dit nooit weer nie.
Hoe om te bid: Die Begin Punt.
Jy moet eers ‘n verhouding met God begin want Verhouding maak saak. Die beginpunt vir enige verhouding is om die teenwoordigheid van die genoemde persoon te soek. Gebed is jou poort en Jesus is die deur na die Koninkryk van God. As jy nie kan bid en vrees nie, roep iemand op om vir jou te bid en begin deur in jou gedagtes te bid. Die verstand is kragtig en ‘n skepping van God en God weet selfs wat jy dink, maar hy wil jou stem hoor wat na Hom roep, dat jy Hom persoonlik aanbid met jou stem, jou verstand en gees.
Joh 10:1 Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, wie nie deur die deur in die skaapkraal ingaan nie, maar van ‘n ander kant af inklim, hy is ‘n dief en ‘n rower.
Joh 10:2 Maar hy wat deur die deur ingaan, is die herder van die skape.
Joh 10:7 Toe sê Jesus weer vir hulle: Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, Ek is die deur van die skape.
Joh 10:9 Ek is die deur; as iemand deur My ingaan, sal hy gered word; en hy sal ingaan en uitgaan en weiding vind.
Joh 14:6 Jesus sê vir hom: Ek is die weg en die waarheid en die lewe; niemand kom na die Vader behalwe deur My nie.
Joh 10:30 Ek en my Vader is een.
Jy hoef dus nie gospel aerobics te doen om tussen name te spring wanneer jy tot God bid nie. Bid net in die Naam van Jesus. Hy is die Vader, die Seun en die Heilige Gees. God is Gees.
Bible Teaching of the Day
Concentrate on the Cross – Part 3
Jesus’ words “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” are found in Luke 23:34. Jesus looked down from the cross upon a scene that must have been distressing to Him. The Roman soldiers were gambling for His clothing (John 19:23–24); the criminals on the crosses to either side of Him were reviling Him (Matthew 27:44); the religious leaders were mocking Him (Matthew 27:41–43); and the crowd was blaspheming Him (Matthew 27:39). Surrounded by this most unworthy lot, Jesus prayed for them. “Father, forgive them” is a prayer of unmatched mercy and love.
Even in His agony, Jesus’ concern was for the forgiveness of those who counted themselves among His enemies. He asked the Father to forgive the thieves on the cross who jeered at Him. He asked the Father to forgive the Roman soldiers who had mocked Him, spit on Him, beat Him, yanked out His beard, whipped Him, put a crown of thorns on His head, and nailed Him to the cross. Jesus asked forgiveness for the angry mob that had mocked Him and called for His crucifixion (Mark 15:29–30).
It is important to note that Jesus’ prayer, “Father, forgive them,” does not mean that everyone was forgiven, unilaterally, without repentance and faith. It does mean that Jesus was willing to forgive them—forgiveness was, in fact, the reason He was on the cross. The words “Father, forgive them” show the merciful heart of God.
Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them,” because He was fulfilling Old Testament prophecy: “He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12). From the cross, Jesus interceded for sinners. Today, risen and glorified, Jesus remains the “one mediator between God and mankind” (1 Timothy 2:5). Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them,” because He was putting into practice the principle He had taught in the Sermon on the Mount: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:43–44). Jesus, the persecuted, prayed for His persecutors.
Coupled with the willingness of Jesus to forgive His tormentors is the fact that they did not know what they were doing (Luke 23:34). The sinners who put Jesus on the cross were ignorant of the true import of their actions. The soldiers personally held no ill will toward Him. They were simply following orders. This was how they normally treated condemned men, and they believed that He truly deserved it. They didn’t know that they were killing the Son of God (see 1 Corinthians 2:8). The mob didn’t really know whom they were trying to destroy. The Jewish leaders had deceived them into believing that Jesus was a fake and a troublemaker (Acts 3:17). In praying “Father, forgive them,” Jesus revealed His infinite mercy; He still loved them and would forgive them if only they would humble themselves and repent (Matthew 18:14; 2 Peter 3:9).
Jesus’ prayer “Father, forgive them” was answered in the lives of many people. The Roman centurion at the foot of the cross, upon seeing how Jesus died, exclaimed, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39). One of the two thieves crucified with Jesus exercised faith in Christ, who promised him paradise (Luke 23:39–43). A member of the Sanhedrin publicly aligned himself with Jesus (John 19:39). And, a little over a month later, three thousand people in Jerusalem were saved in one day as the church began (Acts 2:41).
On the cross Jesus provided forgiveness for all those who would ever believe in Him (Matthew 20:28). Jesus paid the penalty for the sins that we commit in our ignorance, and even the ones we’ve committed deliberately. When we are born again, we, too, become an answer to Jesus’ prayer “Father, forgive them.”
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Konsentreer op die Kruis – Deel 3
Jesus se woorde “Vader, vergeef hulle, want hulle weet nie wat hulle doen nie” word in Lukas 23:34 gevind. Jesus het van die kruis afgekyk op ‘n toneel wat vir Hom ontstellend moes gewees het. Die Romeinse soldate het vir Sy klere gedobbel (Joh. 19:23–24); die misdadigers aan die kruise aan weerskante van Hom was besig om Hom te beledig (Matteus 27:44); die godsdienstige leiers het Hom gespot (Matteus 27:41–43); en die skare het Hom gelaster (Matteus 27:39). Omring deur hierdie mees onwaardige lot, het Jesus vir hulle gebid. “Vader, vergewe hulle” is ‘n gebed van ongeëwenaarde genade en liefde.
Selfs in Sy lyding was Jesus se besorgdheid oor die vergifnis van diegene wat hulleself onder Sy vyande gereken het. Hy het die Vader gevra om die diewe aan die kruis wat Hom uitgespot het, te vergewe. Hy het die Vader gevra om die Romeinse soldate te vergewe wat Hom gespot het, op Hom gespoeg het, Hom geslaan het, Sy baard uitgeruk, Hom geslaan het, ‘n doringkroon op Sy kop gesit en Hom aan die kruis vasgespyker het. Jesus het vergifnis gevra vir die woedende skare wat Hom gespot het en vir Sy kruisiging geroep het (Mark 15:29–30).
Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat Jesus se gebed, “Vader, vergeef hulle,” nie beteken dat almal vergewe is, eensydig, sonder bekering en geloof nie. Dit beteken wel dat Jesus bereid was om hulle te vergewe—vergifnis was in werklikheid die rede waarom Hy aan die kruis was. Die woorde “Vader, vergeef hulle” wys die genadige hart van God.
Jesus het gebid: “Vader, vergeef hulle,” omdat Hy Ou Testamentiese profesieë vervul het: “Hy het die sonde van baie gedra en vir die oortreders gebid” (Jesaja 53:12). Vanaf die kruis het Jesus vir sondaars ingetree. Vandag, opgestaan en verheerlik, bly Jesus die “een middelaar tussen God en die mensdom” (1 Timoteus 2:5). Jesus het gebid: “Vader, vergeef hulle,” omdat Hy besig was om die beginsel wat Hy in die Bergpredikasie geleer het, toe te pas: “Julle het gehoor dat daar gesê is: ‘Jy moet jou naaste liefhê en jou vyand haat.’ Maar Ek sê vir jou: Wees lief vir jou vyande en bid vir dié wat jou vervolg” (Matteus 5:43–44). Jesus, die vervolgde, het vir Sy vervolgers gebid.
Tesame met die gewilligheid van Jesus om Sy pynigers te vergewe, is die feit dat hulle nie geweet het wat hulle doen nie (Luk. 23:34). Die sondaars wat Jesus aan die kruis geplaas het, was onkundig oor die ware strekking van hulle dade. Die soldate het persoonlik geen kwaadwilligheid teenoor Hom gehad nie. Hulle het bloot bevele gevolg. Dit was hoe hulle gewoonlik veroordeelde mans behandel het, en hulle het geglo dat Hy dit werklik verdien. Hulle het nie geweet dat hulle die Seun van God doodmaak nie (sien 1 Korintiërs 2:8). Die gepeupel het nie regtig geweet wie hulle probeer vernietig nie. Die Joodse leiers het hulle mislei om te glo dat Jesus ‘n vals en ‘n moeilikheidmaker is (Hand 3:17). Deur te bid “Vader, vergeef hulle,” het Jesus Sy oneindige genade geopenbaar; Hy het hulle steeds liefgehad en sou hulle vergewe as hulle net hulleself sou verootmoedig en bekeer ( Matteus 18:14; 2 Petrus 3:9 ).
Jesus se gebed “Vader, vergeef hulle” is in die lewens van baie mense beantwoord. Toe die Romeinse hoofman oor honderd aan die voet van die kruis sien hoe Jesus gesterf het, het hy uitgeroep: “Waarlik, hierdie man was die Seun van God!” (Markus 15:39). Een van die twee diewe wat saam met Jesus gekruisig is, het geloof in Christus beoefen, wat hom die paradys belowe het (Luk. 23:39–43). ’n Lid van die Sanhedrin het hom in die openbaar by Jesus geskaar (Johannes 19:39). En, ‘n bietjie meer as ‘n maand later, is drieduisend mense in Jerusalem op een dag gered toe die kerk begin het (Hand 2:41).
Aan die kruis het Jesus vergifnis voorsien vir almal wat ooit in Hom sou glo (Matteus 20:28). Jesus het die straf betaal vir die sondes wat ons in ons onkunde pleeg, en selfs die wat ons doelbewus gepleeg het. Wanneer ons wedergebore word, word ons ook ‘n antwoord op Jesus se gebed “Vader, vergeef hulle.”

“THE TEMPLE, THE FIRE AND YOU”
Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; He bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God’s glory. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Since we are the temple of the Holy Spirit I want us to consider Leviticus 6:12-13 which reads, “The fire on the altar must be kept burning and never allowed to go out. Every morning the priest shall put firewood on it, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat of the fellowship offering. The fire must always be kept burning on the altar and never allowed to go out.”
Often, I have come across believers who had a spark, a little flame, or a flare-up of God’s Holy Spirit in their lives. This is especially true over the period of Pentecost when many are attending Pentecost services. They are set alite but soon seem to lose the fire of God’s Holy Spirit.
However, since we are the temple of God and His Holy Spirit dwells within, we need to ensure that this flame never goes out.
Like the priest who went out daily to put firewood on it, arranged the burnt offering on it, and burned the fat of the fellowship offering, we need to keep the fire burning daily. This can only be done by the daily washing of, regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. (See Titus 3:5, Ephesians 4:23 and Romans 12:2)
Therefor, let us not allow the fire to go out, let us not quench the Holy Spirit as instructed in 1Thessalonians 5:19 but let us allow God to transform us by the renewing of our minds. (See Romans 12:2)
But how do we do this? We place firewood on the fire by spending time with God, by studying His Holy Word, by offering Him praise, and by calling upon Him to dwell within us. Then when we go out, proclaiming the Gospel or by testifying of His infinite love and mercy, we are not just stoking the fire, but we are bringing light into this dark World.
Vandag se Toewyding / Bemoediging
“DIE TEMPEL, DIE VUUR EN JY”
Weet jy nie dat jou liggaam die tempel van die Heilige Gees is wat in jou woon en wat deur God aan jou gegee is nie? Julle behoort nie aan julleself nie maar aan God; Hy het jou vir ‘n prys gekoop. Gebruik dus jou liggame tot God se eer. (1 Korinthiërs 6:19-20)
Aangesien ons die tempel van die Heilige Gees is, wil ek hê ons moet Levitikus 6:12-13 in ag neem wat lees: “Die vuur op die altaar moet aan die brand gehou word en nooit toegelaat word om uit te gaan nie. Elke oggend moet die priester brandhout daarop sit, die brandoffer daarop rangskik en die vet van die dankoffer verbrand. Die vuur moet altyd op die altaar aan die brand gehou word en nooit uitgaan nie.”
Dikwels het ek gelowiges teëgekom wat ‘n vonk, ‘n vlammetjie of ‘n opvlam van God se Heilige Gees in hul lewens gehad het. Dit is veral waar oor die tydperk van Pinkster wanneer baie Pinksterdienste bywoon. Hulle word aan die gang gesit, maar dit lyk of hulle gou die vuur van God se Heilige Gees verloor.
Aangesien ons egter die tempel van God is en Sy Heilige Gees binne woon, moet ons verseker dat hierdie vlam nooit uitgaan nie.
Soos die priester wat daagliks uitgegaan het om vuurmaakhout daarop te sit, die brandoffer daarop gerangskik het en die vet van die dankoffer verbrand het, moet ons die vuur daagliks aan die brand hou. Dit kan slegs gedoen word deur die daaglikse wassing, wedergeboorte en vernuwing van die Heilige Gees. (Sien Titus 3:5, Efesiërs 4:23 en Romeine 12:2)
Laat ons dus nie toelaat dat die vuur uitgaan nie, laat ons nie die Heilige Gees uitblus soos in 1Thessalonicense 5:19 voorgeskryf word nie, maar laat ons God toelaat om ons te verander deur die vernuwing van ons denke. (Sien Romeine 12:2)
Maar hoe doen ons dit? Ons plaas vuurmaakhout op die vuur deur tyd saam met God deur te bring, deur sy Heilige Woord te bestudeer, deur Hom lof aan te bied en deur Hom aan te roep om in ons te woon. Wanneer ons dan uitgaan, die Evangelie verkondig of deur te getuig van Sy oneindige liefde en barmhartigheid, stook ons nie net die vuur nie, maar ons bring lig in hierdie donker Wêreld.

Bible Prophecy in the News
Beast Tech Rising: Conditioned For Control
“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” (Revelation 13:16). These words written 2,000 years ago depict a future global system that controls who can buy or sell (Revelation 13:17).
In this article, we explore how astonishingly close modern technology is to enabling the kind of total surveillance and control described in Revelation 13, why these advancements are accelerating, and what prophetic significance they carry. The goal is not to set dates or induce fear, but to analyze the signs with a sense of urgency and ask whether the focus should shift from the tech itself to the mindset that would embrace it.
The tech is here and it’s not going anywhere, but are people’s minds ready? Are they being preconditioned or coerced into accepting such a system. Much like the frog slowing boiling to death in a pot of water; is society’s mind being slowly conditioned to accept this future Beast System?
A Prophecy 2,000 Years in the Making – Why Our Generation Is Unique
For nearly nineteen centuries after the book of Revelation was written, its vision of a global regime seemed incomprehensible. How could “authority…over every tribe, tongue, and nation” be given to one leader (Revelation 13:7) in an age of quills and scrolls? And how could a mark control all commerce when most trade was done with coins and bartering?
Moreover, a key prerequisite for end-times prophecy was missing: the nation of Israel. From the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. until 1948, no generation witnessed Israel reborn as a nation. Yet Bible students knew it had to happen, as Scripture foretold Israel’s dispersion and regathering. The re-establishment of Israel in 1948 was a prophetic milestone no previous generation had seen, and it signaled that the clock for the “last days” was ticking again (Matthew 24:32-34, Isaiah 66:8).
At the same time, the past century unleashed a surge in knowledge and technology that is utterly unprecedented. The angel told Daniel that in the time of the end, “many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase” (Daniel 12:4). I believe that is more in relation to going back-and-forth to Scripture, however there is application here. Today, exponential increases in knowledge are the new normal. What took centuries of progress now happens in years, months, days, and even hours! From the invention of computers to the internet to artificial intelligence, technological advancement is accelerating at breakneck speed.
This explosion of knowledge is not random; prophecy watchers see it as providential. It’s as if the stage is being rapidly set for fulfillment of what Revelation describes. No previous generation had the capability to literally track every person’s buying and selling, or to monitor behavior worldwide in real time. Ours does. As Jesus said of end-time signs, “when you see these things, know that it is near–at the doors!” (Mark 13:29).
Global Surveillance: The Rise of All-Seeing Eyes
Revelation 13 envisions a world where no one escapes the Beast’s reach (Revelation 13:7). How close are we to a system capable of tracking every human? Consider the dramatic growth of surveillance technology. By the end of 2021, over one billion surveillance cameras were installed worldwide, roughly one camera for every eight people on earth. Many of these are tied into AI-powered systems that can recognize faces, track movements, and compile digital dossiers.
In China, for example, the government’s massive “Skynet” camera network (estimated 600 million+ cameras) and social credit system foreshadow how a centralized authority could monitor compliance or dissent. Western nations, too, have rapidly expanded CCTV networks in the name of security. Today’s advanced facial recognition can identify individuals in a crowd within seconds, and AI analytics can flag “unusual” behavior automatically.
AI surveillance systems are increasingly ubiquitous. Modern cities are blanketed with cameras on streets, buildings, and even in smart home devices. Powerful algorithms can sift through feeds from thousands of cameras simultaneously, meaning an AI “watcher” could theoretically keep tabs on an entire population’s whereabouts. The mass data collection by Big Tech companies and governments adds another layer. Our smartphones, searches, social media, and purchases are constantly harvested for data. It’s often said that agencies today know more about us than we know about ourselves.
As Yuval Noah Harari has observed, past tyrants like the Gestapo or KGB could not surveil everyone effectively–but soon, “corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack all the people. We humans should get used to the idea that we are no longer mysterious souls – we are now hackable animals.” Harari warns that the combination of biometric sensors and AI could create a “digital dictatorship” of total monitoring.
Imagine a regime knowing not only where you are and what you do, but even how you feel about the supreme leader. Harari paints a chilling scenario: a future North Korean citizen forced to wear a biometric bracelet 24/7 – “You listen to a speech… and they know what you actually feel… if you’re angry, they know, you’ll be in the gulag tomorrow.” This kind of intrusive surveillance was pure science fiction a few decades ago; now it’s on our doorstep.
Importantly, such technology aligns uncomfortably well with the Beast system’s goals. Revelation 13:15 says the False Prophet will cause those who refuse to worship the Beast’s image to be killed. A feat that implies identifying and locating dissenters. Under pervasive surveillance, identifying non-compliant individuals (e.g. those who won’t take the mark or worship the Beast) becomes feasible on a global scale.
We already saw a preview in how some governments tracked people during COVID-19 lockdowns via cellphone location data or enforced quarantine with electronic monitoring. The infrastructure for global tracking of every human is being erected now under various guises–public safety, health, anti-terrorism, etc. Each rationale edges us closer to an “omnipresent” monitoring network. The Beast system will simply inherit and weaponize it fully.
Cashless Society and Digital IDs: Precursor to the Mark
John’s prophecy could not be fulfilled in a world of strictly physical cash and local marketplaces. But in our digital economy, the pieces fit. Revelation 13:17 says “no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast”. To control all buying and selling, currency itself likely becomes centralized and digital. We see a strong push toward cashless transactions, credit cards, online payments, and now Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) on the horizon. Digital ID programs are being rolled out worldwide, aiming to give every person a verifiable e-identity linked to their finances, medical records, and more.
The United Nations and World Economic Forum have championed the idea of universal digital identification (such as the ID 2020 initiative) as a way to include everyone in the financial system. But prophecy students note: what is sold as inclusion and convenience could easily become a tool for exclusion and coercion. Once your money is just bytes in a cloud ledger, access can be turned off with a keystroke. A digital ID tied to a central system could be required to log onto the internet, travel, or make transactions. Exactly the kind of control the Beast will need to enforce the mark.
It is sobering to see how quickly people embrace the technology that could enable the mark. In some countries, governments are testing biometric ID payment systems (scanning your hand, face, or eyes to pay). Companies have begun implanting microchips in employees for building access and cashless cafeteria purchases. One U.S. tech company’s CEO even boasted about hosting a “chip party” where employees voluntarily injected an RFID chip the size of a grain of rice into their hand. He envisions that “eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”
In other words, one small implant could replace your wallet, keys, ID cards – EVERYTHING. It doesn’t take much imagination to see how such implants (or a future iteration of them) could fulfill the role of the mark of the Beast in controlling commerce. The technology itself isn’t the mark, of course, but it demonstrates the “architecture” of control is here. Even Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, spoke in a 2016 interview about this coming transformation.
He noted that first we put tech on our wearables, “then we could imagine implants in our brains or on our skin,” and that by 2026 people will communicate directly with the digital world via these implants. His vision is essentially a merge of our physical, digital, and biological identities. A chilling echo of Revelation’s prediction of a mark in the right hand or forehead.
Beyond implants, governments are also proposing digital health passports and national ID apps. In India, over a billion people are enrolled in “Aadhaar,” a biometric ID program using fingerprints and iris scans for authentication in banking and public services. The European Union is planning a digital identity wallet for all citizens6. These systems promise greater efficiency but they also create the framework where one central decision can lock a person out of society. I
In the Tribulation, refusing the Beast’s mark will carry exactly that penalty: exclusion from the economy under pain of death. We can already see how a future Antichrist could co-opt existing digital ID networks to enforce allegiance. All that’s missing is the trigger event and the charismatic leader to implement it.
Global Connectivity: Satellites and the Internet Everywhere
Another factor enabling Beast-like control is instant global connectivity. The False Prophet will “cause” the earth’s inhabitants to worship the Beast’s image and take the mark–implying rapid mass communication and coordination (Revelation 13:14-16). How could one regime issue orders to billions worldwide in real time? Enter our era’s satellite networks and high-speed internet.
Projects like SpaceX’s Starlink are launching thousands of low-earth orbit satellites to blanket the globe in internet coverage. Currently (as of Feb 27, 2025) over 7,000 Starlink satellites are in orbit, with plans for over 40,000 to come! The goal is no corner of the planet left offline. This has positive aims (bringing internet to remote regions), but in a prophetic context it also ensures no one can hide. A future global authority won’t have to worry about remote villages being out of reach; satellite internet and cell networks see to that.
https://trulightradioxm.org.za/end-time-articles-2/66-satellites-in-6-orbits-set-for-666-monitoring
Likewise, the ubiquity of smartphones means nearly every adult on earth can receive an alert or message instantly. In the past, a dictatorial decree took days or weeks to disseminate through newspapers and radio. Now, a push notification or emergency text can flash on everyone’s screen in seconds. We saw a hint of this power with the coordinated messages and lockdown orders during the pandemic. In the Tribulation, when the False Prophet enforces worship of the Beast’s image, he could leverage the global network to broadcast the command and monitor compliance.
Even the image of the Beast that speaks (Revelation 13:15) becomes conceivable with modern tech. Think of an AI-powered hologram or broadcast of the Beast’s image that people are required to honor, under surveillance of “smart” devices in their homes. Science fiction? Perhaps, but only a few years ago so was the idea of carrying a device in your pocket that tracks your location, listens to your voice, and can scan your face. Today that device is your smartphone. Of course, I’m not saying thus sayeth the Lord that this is how it will be, but let’s use our critical thinking skills.
Consider also the rollout of 5G/6G networks and Internet of Things (IoT). In the near future, billions more devices (cars, appliances, wearables) will be connected and reporting data. This creates an ever-tightening web of connectivity around individuals. Under a benevolent government, such connectivity offers convenience; under an authoritarian regime, it becomes a tool for a techno-police state. The Beast system will have at its disposal an always-on, always-connected information grid spanning the whole planet. A grid largely built in our time under the banners of progress and innovation.
“Hackable Animals” and Going “Under the Skin”
Perhaps the most startling aspect of today’s technology trends is how openly influential thinkers talk about using them to transform humanity. Take Yuval Noah Harari, a lead advisor to global forums, who bluntly calls humans “hackable animals” in the age of digital surveillance. He argues that with enough data and biometric information, authorities can understand people better than they understand themselves and thus manipulate or control them.
In his warning to world leaders at Davos, Harari said that if a 21st-century tyrant manages to get biometric sensors “under the skin” of millions, the result would be “the worst totalitarian regime in human history”, one that even Stalin could only dream of. That phrase “under the skin” is striking. It echoes the kind of invasive control Revelation implies with a mark in the hand or forehead. Harari’s point was cautionary, but others speak of these same capabilities as positive innovations.
Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum often discusses the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” A fusion of technological breakthroughs that blur the lines between the physical, digital, and biological realms. Schwab noted that this revolution will lead to microchips that can be implanted in the body and even the brain. In one interview, he described a timeline: “At first, we will implant them in our clothes… then we could imagine implanting them in our brains or on our skin… in the end, maybe, there will be direct communication between our brain and the digital world.” This isn’t a conspiracy theory; it’s a stated vision from the architect of Davos.
When powerful leaders talk of internalizing technology into the human body (“under the skin”), prophecy watchers can’t help but recall the language of the mark. Schwab’s top advisor (Harari) adds that this kind of intimate surveillance tech can “go under the skin, collect biometric data, analyze it, and understand people better than they understand themselves.” The convergence of these ideas (microchips, biometric surveillance, AI analysis of behavior) reads like a prelude to the Beast system.
It’s crucial to emphasize that neither Schwab nor Harari are the Beast or False Prophet (certainly good candidates, though). But their agendas and quotes show the mindset of technocratic elites: a belief that technology should reshape society and even humanity itself. They often argue this is for the good (health, efficiency, equality), but Scripture warns that human pride and power often pave the road to oppressive ends (see Proverbs 16:18).
In any case, the fact that world leaders are openly pursuing the ability to monitor, chip, and data-mine humans should set prophetic alarm bells ringing. The Beast system described in Revelation will have exactly those powers. It will “monitor everyone all the time,” to quote Harari’s description of a digital dictatorship. The groundwork is being laid in plain sight.
15-Minute Cities and Climate Compliance: Control in the Name of “Good”
Not all precursors to the Beast system come draped in scary or overtly tyrannical packaging. Some are presented in a way that the public would perceive as “utopian.” Now, you and I know better. We can see right through the smokescreen and know it’s more “dystopian.” Take the rise of the “15-minute city” concept. Urban planners promote it as a way to design cities so that all necessities (work, school, shopping, healthcare) are within a 15-minute walk or bike ride.
Many worry it could devolve into districts people are not allowed to leave freely, under the guise of climate lockdowns or rationing fossil fuels. We’ve already heard trial balloons about limiting driving into certain zones and monitoring personal carbon footprints. It’s not hard to imagine a near future where, for “environmental reasons,” governments use smart city tech to restrict travel.
Say, you’ve exceeded your 15-minute zone trips this month, so your digital pass won’t unlock the train station gate. The eco-justified control systems emerging (from energy usage tracking to smart thermostats that can be controlled remotely) carry a whiff of Revelation’s warning. People might accept severe restrictions if told it’s to save the planet. In the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist will certainly exploit crises (environmental, economic, etc.) to justify draconian control.
The COVID-19 plandemic gave us a real-life case study in how quickly populations can surrender freedoms in the name of safety. Virtually overnight in 2020, billions complied with stay-at-home orders, travel bans, business shutdowns, and later vaccine mandates and digital health passes. To be clear, many of these measures had public health motivations. But prophecy students noted how it revealed a precedent: in a fearful global crisis, most people will submit to sweeping controls (even censorship of dissenting voices) and even shaming or coercing those who don’t comply “for the public good.” We saw societies willingly adopt smartphone contact tracing apps, stand in biometric queues to prove their health status, and accept a new normal where government could dictate occupancy of your home for holidays.
The psychology of compliance learned in 2020-2021 may well be a dress rehearsal for the ultimate compliance test in the Tribulation: take the mark and swear allegiance to the new order, or be cast out as a threat to peace and security.
Quantum Leaps: Technology Racing Toward a Control Threshold
Why is technology accelerating so fast right now? Many experts speak of a coming “technological singularity,” a point where AI and computing power advance beyond human control. It’s as if an unseen hand is removing restraints (2 Thessalonians 2:7) so that all the tools needed for Revelation’s scenario will be ready on time. We are the first generation with not only widespread digital systems, but now AI that can analyze and make decisions at superhuman speed, and emerging quantum computing that could dwarf the power of all today’s computers combined. Just this year, researchers made breakthroughs with Majorana fermions–exotic particles that are enabling more stable quantum bits (qubits).
Microsoft introduced a prototype quantum chip (Majorana 1) using a “topological” design that they expect can scale to a million qubits on a chip. To put that in perspective: a conventional supercomputer might use a few hundred bits in an encryption algorithm, but a quantum computer with a million qubits could theoretically break nearly any encryption in seconds. That means no data would be secure from a regime with such technology. Financial records, personal communications, even cryptocurrency blockchains could be cracked open. The Beast’s control system would have no trouble accessing every database or communications channel if it harnesses this kind of computing power.
Quantum computing also promises AI advancements (since AI can run vastly faster with more computing muscle). Pair that with ubiquitous 5G/6G internet, and you have the means to process and respond to every human action in real time. It’s as if the world is rapidly constructing the central nervous system of a global Beast. Even things like Majorana fermion discoveries have prophetic intrigue – Majorana particles are their own antiparticle, a curious parallel to how the Antichrist will be an imitation “Messiah” opposite to Christ.
Whether or not that connection is meaningful, the takeaway is that science is unlocking almost god-like capabilities (though often without considering moral implications). The acceleration we see all hints that we’re nearing what Jesus called the “days of Noah” (Matthew 24:37), a time of unprecedented evil and intervention. In Noah’s day, humanity was on the verge of irreversible corruption, and God stepped in. Today, we race toward a moment when human and machine might merge, when privacy is gone, and when global governance has the tech to become all-powerful. It suggests we are on the threshold of the Tribulation hour.
From Technology to Mindset: Are We Ready to Accept the Beast?
Given all these developments, one must ask: what’s still holding back the full implementation of the Beast system? The technology is essentially here or imminent. The geopolitical pieces (a revived Israeli nation, talk of global governance, etc.) are in place. The missing ingredient may simply be timing and mindset. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 speaks of a Restrainer holding back the “mystery of lawlessness” until He is taken out of the way. I believe this Restrainer to be the Holy Spirit-Indwelt Church. The Holy Spirit does not leave. He remains. He has been here since creation when He hovered above the waters (Genesis 1:1).
Once the Holy Spirit is removed and Leaves the Earth, all bets are off. Lawlessness will surge, and the Antichrist will be revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:8). At that point, there will also be a strong delusion sent on those who refused the truth, so they will believe the lies of the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12). In other words, the mindset of the remaining world will be primed to accept Beast system control.
Even before that moment, we can see the conditioning at work. Society is increasingly trading freedom for promises of security, convenience, and even virtue (as in, “good citizens do X, only troublemakers refuse”). The cultural mindset is shifting toward one that might openly welcome a messiah-like figure–someone who says “I’ll solve climate change, pandemics, and war if you’ll just follow me and take this mark of loyalty.”
The book of Revelation says the whole world will marvel and follow the Beast (Revelation 13:3). That doesn’t happen by coercion alone. There will be a willing, even fervent, buy-in by the masses. We see seeds of that fervor in the almost religious nature of some political and environmental movements today. Humanity is yearning for unity and safety amid chaos. The Antichrist will offer exactly that, and with Satan’s backing he’ll have an allure that people cannot resist (apart from God’s grace).
So perhaps the question now is not what new tech is around the corner, but what events or narratives will flip the switch to implement what’s already here. Are we on the verge of a major psychological inflection point? Some speculate another global crisis (bigger than anything before) could be used to justify instituting the full Beast infrastructure practically overnight.
If tomorrow a world leader announced a secure global ID to restore order and “ensure this never happens again,” many would applaud and line up to receive it–especially if rejecting it meant social shame or exclusion from the rebuilt “peace.”
In conclusion, the pace at which Revelation 13’s scenario is becoming technologically possible is startling. Jesus told us to “watch” for the signs of His return (Mark 13:37), and to understand the season (Matthew 16:2-3). We are watching prophecy convergence like never before: Israel restored, worldwide instant communication, and tools for global economic control in play.
This analysis isn’t wild speculation; it’s reading headlines and hearing quotes straight from the shapers of our future. It carries an urgent question: if the technology is essentially ready, is humanity now being prepped in heart and mind to embrace the Beast system? And by extension, how close must we be to the Lord’s shout to call His Church home before that wicked one is revealed (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, 2 Thessalonians 2:8)?
As believers, this is both a warning and an encouragement. A warning that the world is hurtling toward the very scenario the Bible predicted, will face exactly what God prophesied. But an encouragement that God’s Word is true and His plan of redemption is right on schedule. We don’t know the day or hour, but we can see the Tribulation shadows lengthening.
Now is the season to share the Gospel, to implore friends and loved ones to understand what’s coming. The stage lights are dimming, the curtain is about to rise on the final act of this age. The technology for the Beast system is here; the only question is, will the world now embrace the mindset to fully accept it?
