White House Preparing National Online ID Plan: Mark of the Beast marches on to Babylon

Posted on by elizabethprata

According to the perfect and true bible, we know that during the time of Jacob’s Trouble (Jer 30:4-7), known familiarly as The Tribulation (though not correctly) there will be a mark that all people on earth will be required to take. This mark is a mark of worship and allegiance to the Beast, the Antichrist. Taking the mark means you worship him – and lose your soul to hell forever (Rev 14:9-11). It also means you can participate in the economy, because you will be allowed to buy and sell. If you do not take the mark of Beast worship, you will not only be denied the opportunity to buy or sell food for instance, but you will be seized and have your head chopped off. (Rev 13:15, 20:4)

As dystopian as this sounds, as futuristic and impossible as it seems, it will happen. Not only will it happen, but it will happen exactly as it is described in Revelation. The only question marks are two-fold: does the technology exist to track and mark every person on the globe (and to hunt and seize those who refuse) and is there a collective will to accept it? It seems with the way the prophetic pieces are marching together so quickly that it may not be too far off. And it seems that both the above questions are nearing the answer YES.

Wednesday I researched whether the technology of the Mark of the Beast is even possible to implement. It is. Computers exist now that can handle the load of tracking the personal finances, location, and status of every person on the globe, which is information the mark of the beast would require at every point of purchase all around the world. And since that research a few days ago, a new science article has emerged that shows the technology is even MORE possible than it was a few days ago, and even more scary.

I’d written that the world’s supercomputers are fast, really, really fast. The chart on the left shows the leap made when the world’s fastest supercomputer was brought online, Jaguar, a Cray XT computer. Its 2008 capabilities were inconceivable only the year before. That is how fast technology is moving, and now the technology behind petaflops is looking to be obsolete as DARPA prepares to exceed the peta-calculations of quadrillion, into the quintillion. Their calculations make our own PCs look ancient and creaky. A super computer calculates in petaflops (quadrillions), which means that what a supercomputer can calculate in one second would take your computer ten hours for the same process. But Thursday, Network World published an article titled “Beyond the petaflop: DARPA wants quintillion-speed computers”

“Not known for taking the demure route, researchers at DARPA this week announced a program aimed at building computers that exceed current peta-scale computers to achieve the mind-altering speed of one quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000) calculations per second. Dubbed extreme scale computing, such machines are needed DARPA says to “meet the relentlessly increasing demands for greater performance, higher energy efficiency, ease of programmability, system dependability and security.” 10 hot energy projects that could electrify the world. DARPA says its Omnipresent High Performance Computing (OHPC) systems will involve all manner of new research and development.”

Please note the name of the system: “Omnipresent”. Omnipresent means “being everywhere at once,” and only God has that capability. But because the Antichrist, who will be later possessed by Satan, wants to be God, he strives to be everywhere at once too. The Mark of the Beast will be a close attempt. Naming this processing capability “Omnipresent” positively gives me chills up my spine.

And in case you think this is all still in the Buck Rogers future, this link brings you to the Federal Government website official call for proposals.The call for proposals was issued on June 12, 2010. Now, combine the above information about the coming Mark, ECHELON, petaflop supercomputers in the quintillions, and Omnipresent, with this information published today:

White House Preparing National Online ID Plan
“The Obama administration is set to propose a new system for authenticating people, organizations and infrastructure on the Web. The proposed system for authenticating people, organizations and infrastructure on the web at the transactional level will require an identity ecosystem. … Simply issuing a Web-friendly biometric identification card to everyone in the country, of course, wouldn’t necessarily make anyone or anything more secure, including online transactions. As the report also notes, to be effective, security tools and technology must be complemented by education.”

I feel reassured, don’t you, knowing that the biometric card issued to everyone in the country will be accompanied by ‘web-friendly, effective security tools? Like, really, really secure, so secure you could lose your head? The Mark of the Beast will come. Its technology is present and capable. And it looks like the will to accept this level of personal identification is here, too.

If you are saved you will not be here to face that choice. If you are not sure you are saved, this beautiful and convicting article from John MacArthur will help you: What kind of things do and do not prove the genuineness of saving faith? If you are not saved, then pray to the Holy Spirit to convict you of your sin. You need to believe and understand that your sins are keeping you from being with Jesus, and that once you die it is too late to ask Him to forgive you. If you do believe though that your sins are heinous in the eyes of a Righteous and Holy God, and you believe that Jesus is the only worthy One able to forgive, and you ask Him, He will. But first, pray to the Holy Spirit, He is waiting, eager, to help you understand these things. Do not delay. Soon the Beast will be present.

Echelon network shows us the Mark of the Beast is technologically possible

Posted on by elizabethprata

With almost-daily statements from top officials, like this one from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano attempting to persuade the Powers That Be that monitoring internet communications of American citizens is necessary to keep us safe, or the sneakily hatched plan to spy on whole communities in the UK, like this one, we have become so used to technology that we accept its intrusion into our private lives. GPS tracks us. Google Street View watches us. Our cars talk to us. Embedded medical chips cure us. However uneasy all this governmental surveillance makes us, there is a last holdout in our minds: that the government wouldn’t cross the line into technological slavery, able to track 3 billion people. They couldn’t … could they?

We look to the bible and read Revelation 13:16-17

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a <sup class="xref" value="(AV)”>mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either <sup class="xref" value="(AX)”>the name of the beast or the number of his name.

 And we read Revelation 20:4:

Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

These verses give us pause. Because we know that the bible is inerrant, these things will come to pass. How could it be that there is a one world dictator who can “cause all” to do anything? By the time the Mark is instituted, there will be remaining about 3 billion people in the world. If the Antichrist is reigning from Babylon, and there is someone unsaved in Georgia, how will he ’cause’ that person to receive the mark? How will he know where they are?

Further, if a person refuses the mark, how will he be able to track them down, abduct them (I am guessing that there will be no “arrests” and rule of law by this point) and bring them to the place where the guillotine resides? How is this possible, even with the technological advances in surveillance, satellite, and tracking we now have?

Previous generations that lived before the launch of the USSR’s satellite Sputnik had no clue as to how these verses could come to pass. However, when Sputnik circled the earth and sent its first signal, the capabilities of space communication was starting to become crystal clear. As the NASA site reports, “History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world’s first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach ball, weighed only 183.9 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.” [Above, Sputnik]

That event was only 50 years ago, many who were alive then are alive now and remember the threshold we crossed from the earth-age to the space-age. Fifty years is a short time to go from one satellite to a global dominance tracking every person on the planet. Is the mark of the beast possible, even now? Yes. Here’s how.

ECHELON.

After these five decades of the space-age, we now have radio, satellite, microwave, cellular or fiber-optic communications. Governments have the technological capability to intercept communications from almost any place on earth and in any form. “ECHELON is a name used in global media and in popular culture to describe a signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection and analysis network operated on behalf of the five signatory states to the UK–USA Security Agreement (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It has also been described as the only software system which controls the download and dissemination of the intercept of commercial satellite trunk communications.” Source Wikipedia.

Above, radomes in Menwith Hill, UK, part of the ECHELON agreement.

The launch of Sputnik in 1957 caused an acceleration of technology as this 2001 report to the UN Parliament states, “When the second and third INTELSAT generations came into operation, in 1967 and 1968 respectively, global coverage was achieved for the first time.” (source, page 51). It only took ten years to achieve global communications. And it only took a few more to figure out how to manipulate, track, and intercept those communications. The Report to the UN about ECHELON in 2001 summarizes, “That a global system for intercepting communications exists, operating by means of cooperation proportionate to their capabilities among the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand under the UKUSA Agreement, is no longer in doubt … What is important is that its purpose is to intercept private and commercial communications, and not military communications.”

The report concludes that “ECHELON is capable of interception and content inspection of telephone calls, fax, e-mail and other data traffic globally through the interception of communication bearers including satellite transmission, public switched telephone networks (which once carried most Internet traffic) and microwave links. A global network of computers that automatically search through millions of intercepted messages for pre-programmed keywords or fax, telex and e-mail addresses exists now. Every word of every message in the frequencies and channels selected at a station is automatically searched. The processors in the network are known as the ECHELON Dictionaries. ECHELON connects all these computers and allows the individual stations to function as distributed elements an integrated system.” The following is a map of known and suspected ground stations:

Echelon is a global communications interception system, in force and in use at this moment. Seeing how quickly we advanced from a space beach-ball satellite to a vast global network of personally spy-tracking every personal communication, is it a stretch to wonder how quickly a global dictator insinuating himself by flattering words and peaceful means could convince the world to unite their technologies and track each citizen via a Mark?

The world’s fastest supercomputers are already at a level which can handle global calculations in mere petaflops. Half of the world’s top computers are in the US, the fastest being “Jaguar,” but many nations have them, including enemy nations. The Jaguar computer, which is owned by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, has a top speed of 1.75 petaflops.

One petaflop is the equivalent of 1,000 trillion calculations per second. The Jaguar supercomputer performs 1,750 trillion calculations a second. How long does it take an average PC to match its performance in different time periods? What Jaguar does in one second would take your PC ten hours. You could fly from London to Cancun in the time it takes your PC to perform that one calculation Jaguar performed in one second. What Jaguar does in 1 hour would take your PC 4 years to accomplish. You get the idea. The top two fastest supercomputers in the world are in China. This is a graphic depicting who has the top supercomputers and where they are. Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China each have their share.

ECHELON is a technology that is in place now, and may or may not become part of the coming One World Oppression and Mark of the Beast. However, its existence and capabilities, along with the world’s fastest computers, show that such technological means of economic restraint and oppression against every citizen in the world is technologically possible. Imminent, even.

Compared to this amount of technological oppression and slavery, it will be a snap to set up the beheading stations for the saints who refuse the Mark.

If you are saved by the blood of Jesus and have made Him your Lord, and asked your sins to be forgiven, you will be raptured prior to Daniel’s 70th week. The purpose of the Tribulation, the seven years of Jacob’s Trouble, is a time God will deal with Israel’s sins and her rejection of the Messiah. It is a time when God says to Israel,“Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only with justice; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.” (Jeremiah 30:11) He is punishing Israel. Church age believers are not punished because:

“Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.” (Col 1:21-22)

Believers during this Church age are already forgiven, holy in His sight, and free from accusation, therefore, we are not appointed to wrath. “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thess 5:9). It is the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, a decree of time set aside “To finish the transgression.” Their transgression, not church-age believers.

That the Mark is close is evident. That it is possible is clear. That it will happen is incontrovertible. Praise him for His justice and Holiness, and that we will not be here to face that choice. He is Holy and Perfect, the spotless Lamb of God. He loves each one of us, and He loves you! He, being God, came down and lived among us, and became sin for us and died a terrible death for us. By His stripes we are healed! “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Is 53:6) What a Generous and Mighty God we serve!

One world currency is here: WOCU

Posted on by elizabethprata

The Tribulation is a punishment to the world for their blasphemy and ungodly acts. God uses increasingly devastating judgments to bring the world to repentance. Many repent and are saved. But many choose not to submit. In fact, the Great Tribulation is a time when the world governmental systems fall and the world economic systems are replaced with the Beast’s. This is known as The Mark of the Beast, a mark that the Antichrist institutes in Rev 13:16-17 after he is indwelled by satan in Rev 13:3. The bible does not use the words “one world currency” nor does it use “one world government” but we can deduce these things by the verses which state “that authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.” (Rev 13:7b) and “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.” (Rev 13:8) and “And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.” (Rev 13:16-17)

With this in mind, I report to you that a global currency now has been launched. Whether it becomes THE world currency spoken of in Revelation remains to be seen. But the concept, framework, and execution of it is a reality. It is called the WOCU, or World Currency Unit. The currency symbol for the Wocu is The plan is for nations to systematically liquidate their rapidly devaluing Dollar reserves and build new holdings in the more stable and safer WOCU, resulting in volatile-free international trade. And who would be against less volatile international trade? Hmmm…

World currency unit intended to rival U.S. dollar for supremacy
A new currency is intended to challenge the U.S. dollar as the world’s foremost reserve currency. The WOCU, short for world currency unit, was actually launched by London-based WDX Organization in September 2009, but only seems to be gaining recognition now. Its value is determined as a derivative of the exchange rates of the world’s top 20 currencies, as measured by GDP, in order to reduce the risk associated with exchange rate fluctuations. The new currency is similar to the International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights (SDR), which the IMF uses as a reserve asset to supplement the currency reserves of its member states. Both Russia and China have been pushing for the world to switch to a new currency.

From March this year, a financier’s opinion:

The WOCU is Here! Finally, a Stable Reserve Currency to Replace the Dollar
It may sound like a character from StarWars, but starting in Q2 of 2010, the WOCU or World Currency Unit will become the medium of exchange among trading nations. This is welcome news to a world weary of Dollar hegemony and the violent and bloody US imperialism that comes along with it. One of the most beneficial aspects of the Wocu is a stabilization in the prices of imports, exports, and traded commodities — freeing the people of the world from the crippling manipulation of currencies by Central Banks, which is directly responsible for a great deal of human suffering at the consumer level. For me, it’s not such great news since I am a currency trader and rely on the international corruption of big banks to make a living. Oh well, it’s a small price to pay to finally jettison the Dollar and the massive reserves that nations are forced to hold [often against their will] in order to do business with one another. For my part, I’ll find another Plutocratic enclave to exploit. Meanwhile, the Wocu is apolitical — and it’s about d*&# time.

Another article:

“The Wocu has been developed as a derived world currency unit to allow corporations, financial institutions, governments and even individuals to trade across national boundaries and hold foreign assets with minimal risk of losses caused by exchange rate fluctuations. How does the Wocu differ from the IMF’s SDR [special drawing rights]? The SDR, while a valuable tool, is based on 4 currencies and re-weighted only every 5 years, unlike the Wocu which is re-weighted by an independent institute every six months (when the IMF releases its GDP figures).”

For many years, people thought that the Euro, the currency for 16 of the 27 European nations, would become the supranational currency for the world. However, we have seen the euro’s fortunes fall lately as well as the dollar’s. God spends a great deal of time carefully setting up conditions for prophecy fulfillment, but when prophecy is fulfilled, it happens fast. Just two years ago, who would have thought that the US Dollar would fall so low? That we’d have a Muslim president dedicated to destroying this country? That the European Nations would be bankrupt? It will be interesting to watch the WOCU gain traction. We know the result, the bible tells us. What is interesting is the journey, seeing Him work, and being alive to see His promises come to fruition.

Speaking of journey, there are two paths, and you do not need to be faced with the horrific choice to either take the mark and eat, or refuse the mark and starve and get beheaded. You can accept Jesus NOW, by repenting of your sins (to be sorry for the bad things you have thought, said, and did). You can ask Jesus to forgive those sins, and make Him the Lord of your life. If you submit to Him, He will send the Holy Spirit to indwell you, guide you, help you, and grow you. He will reveal His Plan for your life, and though you will still have daily troubles, you will know an ultimate peace that passes all understanding. Then you will be raptured to be with Jesus always. (1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thess 4:16). The choice is yours. It will always be yours. But the risks FAR outweigh the benefits the longer you put off making it.

UK PM Calls for World Financial Constitution

Posted on by elizabethprata

In Gordon Brown’s speech, he is exactly right. We have suffered a speedy transformation of world economic systems. The last two years have been transformative. Read the following excerpted transcript, or watch the speech starting at 2:00 with the following in mind: the prophecy in Revelation will come true. A global financial system will be implemented. Revelation 13:16-17 – “He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.”

UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown World Economy Speech “Only in retrospect do people see the significance of the times in which they are living through. But in the last two years our world has been suffering not just an ordinary economic downturn but what will be remembered as the first crisis of globalization. It’s the first crisis of a world being totally transformed by the scale of global financial flows, but the global sourcing of goods, and by the speed, the scale and the scope of globalization itself. And it’s a world of massive new opportunities that I want to talk about. But also as we found  it is a world of massive new uncertainties and insecurities too. What we have experienced is not just the inflation-driven economic crises, such as we have seen in t he past 50 years, but a wholesale crisis that has gone right to the heart of the global financial system itself. And so it is time for us, as we reflect on these events, to draw conclusions about te new framework and the new policies we do need to build a stronger and a fairer world economy that will meet the need of its citizens in this new global age. …  Without radical change…we will not be able to emerge… So here are my proposals for discussion: First of all, I believe we need nothing short of a World Constitution for the Global Financial System.”

What Greece’s economic woes may lead to

Posted on by elizabethprata

Is Europe at a crossroads? And one fork of that crossroad perhaps leading to the antichrist and mark of the beast?

Greece’s debt load is staggering the rest of Europe. The Grecian domino is about to topple Span and Portugal as well. Europe has one currency and this is a problem not only of currency, but of sovereignty.  The Wall Street Journal called it “A Crisis of Sovereignty as well as Debt” stating “The European Union is in need of a new economic strategy. The veracity of that statement might seem indisputable, as various EU countries, led by Greece, struggle to avoid being crushed by their accumulated debts.”

Debt is always crushing to a nation, as evidenced by America’s inclusion on a list of nations of sovereign default risks  but “The Greek budget crisis is a symptom of imbalances that will lead to the breakup of the euro region, according to Societe Generale SA strategist Albert Edwards, and Harvard University Professor Martin Feldstein said monetary union “isn’t working” in its current form.” That is because there is one European currency yet there are 27 different philosophies managing that one currency. What one nation does within the coalition may be more socialist and the next country may be more capitalist yet there is only the euro bearing the burden of these widely divergent policies, debts, and expenditures.

Joe Wiesenthal for Business Insider was even more blunt, saying “Europe’s Choice: Dismantle The Euro, Or Cede All National Sovereignty To Brussels” “As the early euro-skeptics warned, coordinating a single monetary authority across nations with their own political systems and economic objectives wouldn’t work. The founders of the euro actually knew this, but they they thought they could cheat by imposing deficit limits on each country, which were stipulated in the Maastricht Treaty. … So that leaves Europe with two real solutions: 1. Breakup. 2. Turn Brussels into a seat of real centralized authority that mandates uniformity of economic policy across Euroland.”

What those two choices add up to is a very interesting possibility of a major shakeup. Either the European coalition falls apart, its 27 nations divorce and perhaps leading to the 10-nation prophesied coalition of the antichrist regime in Daniel 7:7-8, or each nation cedes its sovereignty to Brussels and centralizes around its currency, leading to the mark of the beast as prophesied in Rev 13:16-17. Hmmm, choices choices.

A major centralized financial regulatory body was created last year. It is headed by one man, Mario Draghi of Italy. The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is a new regulator based on an enlarged vision of the once advisory Financial Stability Forum. Where it once offered guidance, it now institutes rules. This new FSB includes all G20 countries, Spain and the European Commission.

Last month, the FSB, charged by the G20 to coordinate national regulation in response to the financial crisis, welcomed U.S. proposals to limit banks’ size and trading activities. Major European economies have offered support for President Barack Obama’s plan, which could rewrite the world financial order…”

Default in Greece could spread across globe
“Since the epicenter of the latest financial crisis lies in Greece, it’s appropriate that the root issue is theoretical: Can a vast region comprising 12 disparate nations achieve economic prosperity with a common currency – but not a common government? This is not the kind of philosophical conundrum that caused Socrates to reach for the hemlock. But it could still be poison for the world economy.”

IMF waits in the wings as Greek domino teeters 
“If the European Union can’t quell concerns over Greece’s debt burden, the International Monetary Fund may have to step in, whether or not its help is welcome.”


A Monetary agency forcing a nation to succumb to an economic plan? Revelation 13 tells of a re-written world financial order. It will happen. Maybe now or later, but it will happen.

The Hindu Business Line wrote today, “the G-20 emphasis on modernising the IMF’s governance process is a welcome step which should improve its credibility, legitimacy and effectiveness. The G-20 can provide the necessary political support for implementation of policies which need a coordinated effort at the global level.”

A ‘coordinated effort at a global level’ … again, a prophesied event. ‘Cede sovereignty’ … ‘One currency’ … the prophetic clock is ticking and there is movement afoot for massive change in our financial and geo-political world order. But you knew that. It’s in the bible.
