Default Amazon go stores

The future of shopping? If you think self serve check out takes jobs how about a store with no employees you scan to get in then take whatever you want and when you walk out your credit card is charged a receipt is emailed.

I remember reading about it more than few years back. Considering it hasn't taken off on major scale I'd say it's not happening any time soon.

2000 years ago, John, Jesus’ beloved disciple was given a vision of the end of the age. He was shown a time where no one could take apart in any commerce without an official “mark” that was a sign of a dictator who ruled the world, “the Beast,” as John referred to him as.

“He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17 And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. 18 Wisdom is needed here.”

Hmmm…

Hope not. Could you imagine if Trudeau had a switch and could shut off our ability to purchase if we didn’t carry on in lockstep with him?

Dude’s bank accounts frozen cuz they donated $50 to Freedom Convoy.

It’s a brave new world for sure.

If the world bank is "the beast" and our encrypted banking cards are "the mark" - one could argue this prophecy has come to pass ....

But the again, you could make an argument to support virtually any cryptic statement, riddle, or prophecy and interpret it so many ways applying equally nebulous information (or random events) and give it meaning and tie it into whatever truth you want to believe I guess.

As a young man I spent a lot of time wondering about that particular prophesy. I could not fathom how it could happen, but then computers came and slowly the light began to come on. If some could build a super computer and we were all linked it come come to pass. Well guess what.... The freezing of bank accounts really spooked me, wouldn't even need extra police to enforce the rule . Just chip a person and done. I would be careful just dismissing it.... It is quit clear in the Bible that the "end times" will feature a one world government and that you will not be able to hide, buy or sell without the mark. Given WEF's version of what the future should look like I would think more would be spooked.

One can argue that referred to Caesar and his crown (you left out the …“these events will occur within your lifetime”), or hitler and his swastika

People trying to control other people isn’t new and certainly didn’t start with that prophesy. I see it more as a general warning about the nature of government.
