What is it like to get your ear’s tickled? (v2)
Have you ever wondered that? What is it like to get your ears tickled? I would reckon you probably haven’t. But that’s ok I’m going to make some suggestions here to help us consider what happens to you when you get tickled. If you go for articles like the one I’m addressing, you may be addicted to having your ears tickled? It’s ok if so, it feels good and in these times it is understandable.
However, I don’t think it’s to our benefit. That is going to be my argument here.
So here is the article I’m going to use to show what professional grade ear ticklers look like and the kind of logical fallacy they love to use to make your ears delight The Mark of the Beast Isn’t What You Think
Don’t you fell dumb for thinking the mark of the beast is on your forehead now?
This article makes Revelation basically a one message book that fits all. The mark of the beast is just spiritual and John is talking to a different audience. Certainly it has nothing to do with our modern time and Technology!? Hmmm.
The first question Jeffery poses, is “When you hear the phrase “mark of the beast” what comes to mind?”
I’m going to tell you what comes to mind. Keep that in mind, because this is about the mind and heart and how you percieve things. When we get tickled many things get left out of the equation.
First I want to point out I’m no expert on Revelation, and still I see so many holes it’s hard to not assume that position. So keep that in mind too, if you have better thoughts and arguments for or against these things, do tell. That is my caveat and disclaimer. Read and pray about Revelation for yourself, I think you will also notice there is a lot lacking in Jeff’s Revelation theology and argument.
But it does make this satanic Technology thing feel a lot better, so there is that? It’s a lot nicer to believe this is all things past and it has very little to do with stuff like humanoid robots and creepy nano technologies. Of course the powers that be don’t want to actually mark you like your an animal, right? Right, man? It’s not as if this Technology aims to change the core and essence of your DNA or something? Right?
My apologies, beforehand. Ear tickling and dismissal of scripture get’s me fired up. Also I’ll list both direct and indirect scripture to justify my thoughts here first so you can have those on hand.
Revelation 13 (chiefly), Revelation 16 (Euphrates prophecy), Matthew 24:21(no time like it), Mark 13:19(before or again), Isaiah 8:12 (Don’t call it conspiracy/theory/Especially in the age of AI?), Matthew 24:37-39/Luke17:26-27(Like time of Noah (corruption, violence, people living as if it’s all just another day and complacent), Isaiah 6:9-10 (Not sure how you can’t see this stuff!?), 2 Timothy 3:1-2 (It all adds up in our time), Genesis 11:6-7 (God stopped them back then, lest nothing be impossible to them.)
So those are the types of scriptures that ring loud, personally. And what I base the logic on that is used for this article.
Before I jump into the article point by point, I want to eradicate that any of this is conspiracy “theory”. In the age of AI/AGI/ASI that phrase (conspiracy theory) is a pretty tricky term. Anything is now possible with these advancements, and we live in a conspiracy against God and Jesus Christ, under the sun. Is it not so!? It is so.
So here is a tiny tiny tiny fraction of some of what they are working on RIGHT NOW, ALREADY. I ask you, how is any of this conspiracy theory? It’s major top 5 Tech advancement market, and they are really going for it. In fact.
Neuralink, etc.
You know that part of Revelation about the beast of the beast working miracles? Total coincidence?
Crispr-Cas9, etc
Nothing says mark quite like playing with DNA, printing tissues and organs, and cell removal. Am I wrong?
Advanced limbs, exo’s, and IMPLANTS
Straight from the mouth of the horse, I mean beast?
AGENTS!!!
At least the full on mind uploading is still speculative?
Eternal life, of course.
A least they aren’t trying to play or be gods or anything like that, right? It’s all as anti Bible/God/Conspiracy against Jesus as could be imagined.
Anyways!
So, what comes to mind, is what is written in The Bible! Rev 13 from The Bible clues us into all we need to know about it +(…link) and I’ll get into that further. It says way way more than Jeff’s article or this so called theology says. The other part of Revelation that comes to mind is one none of these people will ever talk about… Revelation 22:18-19. As this article from “Jeff” takes away A LOT!
We should probably start Revelation by reading it from end to beginning, then beginning to end? People seem to be missing a lot about it.
Here is the thing. Ear tickling works because it takes a basic truth or precept, and then excludes the reality or hard to handle truths in favor of good feelings. So, we could all easily agree with the article that following the world is Biblically bad. And you could turn almost every book in The Bible into that message, as it is a prerequisite that leads into things coming from man that culminate in an actual mark, I’d reckon?
The message in Jeff’s article is don’t worry, Technology isn’t bad. God loves you, so that’s all you need to think about. Everything else is a conspiracy, there is no mark coming. There is nothing weird happening here and John wasn’t talking to you! All you need to do is continue going to church and listening to your leaders/authorities, who are using this Technology for your benefit. WOW! (BTW I use no AI to write my stuff, that’s why it’s all weird and messy.) But it’s human, at least. I don’t need to consult robots; aka dAemons.
Run, Run, RUN!!!
This is straight up ALARMING!
The problem is in this line of thinking (the point below point, sorry I’m too human), you all already have black box technology in your hands or fastened to your forehead via a black magic screen, if you are even half way honest with yourself. So if it is a spiritual symptom, your already marked by the beast! Every Christian including myself is enslaved to this stuff and made idolatrous, to varying degrees. I’m judging me too.
Man own’s and creates this black box mark, do the math? Find some wisdom? Or ask for it, rather?
But don’t worry, it appears that an actual mark and decision will be ahead. In a way it’s great news! It makes this very easy and simple. In the end you will either be deceived into willingly accepting these things inside you, or not. The good news is that in our time, a time of ultimate and utterly profound confusion.
It is made simple for us. Don’t put the world into you, literally? Follow and believe in Jesus and his commandments, and you won’t. So the mark preceeds spiritually either way, but to say there is no Tech mark to come? That is insane, not even based on scripture but just observable reality. Also from God it is called a seal, not a mark. So there is that to consider too. It’s probably not the same.
Revelation strongly implies there is an actual mark, because the enemy isn’t God and can’t seal your forehead or hands, spiritually. That is not enough for the world side. As a side thought though, if you are going to rely on the Deuteronomy spiritual markings way of thinking, you might want to do what the actual Hebrews did and make some headbands and hand writings? I don’t see you doing that though. Because these same people will tell you that you don’t need to follow the commandments! It’s all spiritual, man! What?
So all they ever really say is, let me tickle your ears! Let me make you feel better! Because when you are double minded about scripture, you need to feel better a lot! You will always have questions, one after another. You will always be seeking what smart people can tell you that you don’t already know in that quest. Always seeking knowledge and never coming to understanding.
Ear tickles aren’t the solution though. Strength from God and reliance in Jesus, is the answer.
There is good news, it’s true! And there are some hard things too, straight up.
You might want to ask some questions about this?
What is this all about? You might want to marvel at the level of coincidence going on here?
Let us ask, what is The Bible talking about when it tells us things like - “It (the beast) was allowed to put breath into the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could EVEN SPEAK”!? Following that we are told “It was allowed to cause anyone who would not worship the image of the beast to be put to death”.
How does that not sound a lot like a humanoid robot (an idol brought to life) that makes people get marked up in the system? At the very least it’s a scary and very strange coincidence, Amen? What are the odds Technology is totally irrelevant to this angelic based story?
What about this one - “It deceives the people living on earth by the miracles it is allowed to preform in the presence of the beast”?
Or - “It was given authority over EVERY tribe, people, language and nation”!?
I’ll cover it later, but Rome was not close to these things. Among other vast problems with the articles approach.
The “gadget isn’t in the future. True. It’s here right now, developing rapidly. It most certainly applies to your life today! Humanoid super intelligent robot’s aren’t just gadget’s, my friends. Neuro link brain chipping isn’t just a fun Tech idea to help people out. The IOB (internet of bodies) isn’t just for your convenience.
Also you can’t miss the real danger, by heading a greater danger. If you are highly resistant to all the world says and provides and think that Technology is a key part of that, you aren’t therefore in greater danger of following after the world? It’s the opposite! Your in far greater danger if you aren’t totally sketched out by man’s “technology”. If you can’t see the coincidence here??
If you can’t see the clear and easy to connect dots of this level of logical fallacy? We haven’t even gotten to the main part of the fallacy yet, because this theology makes such little sense it’s stunning.
If you don’t already know, we are in a huge conspiracy against Jesus Christ down here? The world will stop at nothing, there is no limit to how far it will go, to deceive you. The goal is simple, to make you not believe The Word. To doubt Jesus, and you are doubting Jesus of John 7:7 when you try to justify and explain technology out of the Revelation picture. It’s a huge conspiracy against The KING!
You are also denying what the world that creates this stuff straight up tells us about it! They are trying to create their own god! They think they can be as little gods, with it. So? The levels of idolatry within “technology” are outrageous, and you don’t even have to know The Bible to understand it’s problematic to humans. So it’s Biblical based on precept from Jesus like John 7:7. The world though?
Yeah, but!
What do you think the first Christians thought about the Euphrates river drying up? None the less, here we are.
This entire thing leaves out tons of detail, because that is how ear tickles tend to work, as far as I can tell.
Let’s start with and reiterate a part that is conveniently left out! Something is happening in Revelation 13 that you can’t find anywhere else in The Bible, or history. It’s a key to understanding our time. “It was allowed to put breath into the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could EVEN SPEAK”!?
This is a key because it implies a level of what we call “technology” (black box magic/Babylonian black box) that is not available to any time past. No other kingdom or time has the power to essentially bring idols to life. This is reminiscent of what Jesus says about “this time” in that there will be none like it before it, or again after it. And if you consider our time from all the times past, it is very different than all the ways of the world and kingdoms before it.
In what way? Technologies, specifically.
Babylonian Black Box… Magic.
Coming to you straight from the source of when AI meets quantum computing… “The Dream Maker”. Year; 1999.
The DM program, is to make you a program.
Of course that word (technology) didn’t exist in Johns time nor did the English language nor did any of what our world looks like. It’s 2 entirely different worlds, we don’t live in theirs and they didn’t know anything of what ours would be like.
While I’m on that point, Revelation is a book of prophetic vision. It’s not a book written to the confines of John’s time and audience and in fact they would have less of an idea of many of these things than we do today. There are keys to Revelation that were not part of their time or addressed to them. Like the Euphrates river drying up? Clearly, that is a now thing.
Do some math. The Euphrates river is within a decade of drying up entirely. We have the power to make idols speak and breath! How can you make that apply to any time past? I could go on, but my point is made just with those things alone.
And sure Cesar and Emproer woship was a thing, ok. But it was the same with the Seleucid kings and with Nebuchadnezzar before them etc, going all the way back. This was nothing new, because idolatry is as old as sin. Not to even mention that what Revelation is speaking of is the WHOLE EARTH! The entire world will be subjected and be following after it.
No kingdom or empire had the ability or opportunity to control the whole earth before the time that is approaching us. At it’s peak in 117 AD Rome controlled an area of roughly 1.9 million square miles. The world is something like 200 million square miles. So don’t get it twisted, just because there are many anti Christ figures and evil times doesn’t mean they equate to what is implied by Revelation.
And also to that point, prophecy is repeating pattern, not limited to “then or now”. So yeah, John’s readers would have considered the Caesar vs. Christ thing no doubt. And some of them would have to make a decision in that sense. But now, it’s now. And we have a vastly more powerful and complex beast with dragon power and authority. So to use that to discard these facts, is sketchy.
The fact that this guy points out to you that John’s first readers wouldn’t be thinking about micro chips means he is assuming you are lame of mind and haven’t thought of that. No kidding, they weren’t thinking of things that weren’t yet possible?
As to the spiritual mark of The Word, yeah ok. 2 things come to mind though. First, the ancient Hebrews actually did bind the word to their hands or forehead and wore them. Are you doing that? Maybe we should? Secondly God’s word is LIVING, but the enemy’s is not. Meaning the enemy can’t and won’t rely on a simple following, it has to be inside you to know you follow it and to control. Hence it is working very hard to make such thing a reality on mass scales.
Consider the IOT and IOB (internet of bodies). It needs to track everything about you from outside and then inside for it to have control and total submission and allegiance. Speaking of allegiance…
Appeals to authority and “christian scholarship”
You can spend your entire life studying and not be able to understand The Bible.
Notice with ear ticklers, they always do 2 things. There is some basic truth, and there will be appeal to human authority. Typically in the form of their own or another’s “scholarship” and experience. “The experts”.
You even get the fun little catch phrase here “The mark isn’t about technology but theology”! It’s as if I’m back in a seminar world nightmare all over again. Because all these guys pitch and use seminar reasoning skills.
They convince you that the way should always be the easiest most convenient answer, instead of what it plainly and simply says. No where in The Bible have I read about the importance of “theology” nor does it ever say anything in Revelation about the mark being about theology. What it does say and imply is despite the obvious mankind still won’t repent of their sorceries, lies, and witchcraft!
Justifying technology as it enters ASI realms, is total absurdity. Claiming the mark is simply your theology!?
Here is where it get’s crazy to me! The deeper error, is what they actually do is take away GLORY from THE WORD!
Instead of giving The Word immeasurable credit for calling how things would be and that this previously unimaginable scenario is upon us in our time through the prophecy of Revelation, they want the glory for themselves! They would tickle your ears off, if you let them. You get the tickles and feel goods and totally discard the other details be it about The Euphrates or the image being given power to speak, on and on.
All because they love these tickles, man.
Because even if you take away credit from The Bible, the system at hand is and will be doing these things. If you have even a vague knowledge of the IOB and tracking/bio technology along with AI, it’s a given. It’s a clear and natural path and outcome, and the world tells you exactly how it is too! You will be needing to integrate at some point, straight up.
What about the part of Revelation that tells us these things will be doing miracles and the world will marvel? Forget about all that, Cesar was preforming miracles too surely, right? Ok then. Meanwhile the world will rave about the miracles of modern Tec and medicine! Meanwhile neurolink has made it possible for paraplegics to control screens with their minds. Meanwhile AI has helped science make chicken with no chickens just DNA. Neuro was an anit Christ too, there is your link!
Pay no mind to all these things though, surely Caesar was doing greater things?
So it ultimately does no good, but great harm, to deny Revelation the credit and foresight into these things. Ultimately it’s not going to be something you stumble into either. You will have a choice at some point, but keep in mind all are justified in their own minds. So this seems like just a little part of the justification puzzle leading up to these times, as I see it.
You need not be a prophet to read the writting on the wall, in this case.
There is some nice truth here, I agree.
Except these are not hard questions! And making it all about Rome and John’s audience is obviously erroneous based on the simple fact we are here.
The question is both questions! Why does it need be one or the other? Because obviously you will have to be led astray and on the wrong path to take an actual mark to integrate with the beast. You would be carrying the mark of the beast now in your spirit and then into fulfillment of physical reality. And that is exactly what is going to happen, I believe.
Can you see the logical inconsistency and error of the connections it totally evades, and within the very same book and chapter? Let alone the bigger picture of the Torah and New Testament combined.
My question is why take glory away from such an incredible detail in The Bible? Why pretend that the beast doesn’t want to mark you in every way possible, when it clearly does? Would you not choose to not get an implant or whatever, if you are also not following the system in your every day life? Is there any situation that I’m not carrying the mark of the beast if I also become trans-human? No.
So then what is the point of being in denial about the AI beast and it’s aims and in all amazement seeing it in Revelation? Does that not just give God a lot of glory for giving John that kind of foresight? And why pretend that Tech isn’t as creepy as the devil himself? It really is.
How does Revelation end??
Does this man know there is Revelation 22? If I have proven only one thing here, it is that there is a lot taken away from Revelation 13 alone.
There is more truth here, I agree with much of this hope. But I’ll also tell you we aren’t at the end, and we likely have some very hard times ahead that are a blessing! To test and prove our faith. Or at the very least that is how you should be preparing your mind, if you don’t you are doing a disservice to yourself.
This article from Jeff isn’t strength, it’s weakness. Theology and it’s theologians, are often weak. The Bible and God’s WORD are strong. Jesus will give you the strength of heart and mind to face all things in faith, so that is good. But if what you do is try to come up with reasons and theology for why it’s not saying something inconvenient to you, your faith is going to be proven weak
If you can’t see that we are in an evil time and that Technology as god is going to bring judgement the likes of Revelation? This is the stuff of Satan and his fallen ones, is it not? There is no need to deny that, it’s weird.
The worst part is that you are trying to deny what is one of the main reasons people will come to Christ in the end! Because The Word straight up prophecies about these things, and you don’t need The Word to recognize these things are evil. You need The Word to know Jesus is the solution, the only hope! So when these evils bring people to their knees through the course of time, you can point to things like Revelation like look, it tells us how these things will be and how people will be! Take comfort, Jesus is true! And even if you die in the proccess take great comfort, He will wipe every tear from your eye in eternal life. It will be well worth not getting marked!
Revelation is a culmination and convergence of all the times and kingdoms coming to the end of historical time. And the final push from the dragon and it’s beast to mislead God’s people. You are misled if you don’t think Technology is a major part of that? Because say what you want, our Technology isn’t from God or even God’s people. We didn’t make it.
And perhaps that is why it will be so upsetting to God for those who do take and embrace this Technology to the extent of integrating their bodies with it, that they will get a double cup of His wrath!? They will be thrown into the lake of fire along with the dragon and beast and false prophet! HALLELUYAH!
If you are a leader or teacher and you are justifying these things, REPENT and TURN NOW!!! Don’t be thinking Technology has nothing to do with anything, don’t deceive yourself. Come out of her, my people.! Don’t be unprepared to draw your line.
Further considerations and additions…
There is a strong warning in Revelation to not add to or take away from this book. By spiritualizing the reality out of it, I’d be concerned there is a lot being taken out of the actual text of Revelation. Chapter 13, for example.
Revelation is well known to be a prophetic vision, it’s not limited to John’s actual audience. Nor is any of The Word, as it is THE LIVING WORD. It transcends the time of it’s own writting. Hence we can see very many parallels in any prophetic book, when we compare it to our time. For example Isaiah 14 comes to mind “don’t call everything conspiracy, that this people calls conspiracy”. To add to this crucial point, much of what is covered in Revelation not only hadn’t happened in John’s time, but you have to fast forward to our time to see it’s coming fulfillment. Like the Euphrates river drying up, that is now. Not then.
Spiritualizing the mark into a mindset to this degree, takes away THE GLORY OF GOD! Weather you know The Bible or not, many people can see the system in progress known to us as AI. Many world people even know that they are for sure going to use it to get everything tracked in the IOT & IOB (Internet of bodies!) and beyond. Meanwhile you have this ancient writting of Revelation that speaks of an 8th beast that belongs to the 7, as if it’s a tool. And as it so happens the concept of the mark and everyone taking it to buy and sell (to survive) at the scale of an entire world system, has never been accomplished. Yet The Bible has a book that speaks of such a time and ordeal! Why would you try to take that credit away from The Bible!?
To further that idea chapter 13 speaks of the image being given the power to speak and breath! That kind of seems a whole lot like humanoid artificial intelligence? And it will have the power to make everyone worship (and submit fully) to the beast behind it. So, who is the driver of the development of advanced bio engineering and artificial intelligence? The beast, no? The heads are in a race to develop AI god’s they call ASI. Is that just a total coincidence!? Or is The Bible totally incredible to point to this stuff long long before it was even conceivable?
Giving an idol the power to speak and breath, has never been remotely possible before our time. Even in the times of what seem like very advanced magic and sorcery of Egypt and Babylon, they didn’t take it to the extent or direction we now see. Are humanoid robot’s a future conspiracy? No. They are already in the making, to the level of super intelligence powers. So?
Consider what is said of Babylon in their building of the tower. If they weren’t stopped at that point, nothing would be impossible for them and they would fill the entire face of the earth with cities. Now, look around. It wasn’t their time to do what they were on the way to doing, it’s our time. And nothing is impossible to conceive of with AI in the mix. They are making artificial wombs' a thing…babies born out of robots? And they are serious. That is the type of thing and level these folks are operating on. Nothing is a conspiracy anymore, this is already total sci fi dystopian levels of life. Right now. In fact I wouldn’t be at all surprised if “Jeff” just used CGBT to write this article for him? Because already, there are strong dystopic twilight vibes.
Anyways, that is my argument and defense of Revelation. Read both, see what makes the most sense. Just on the merit of taking away credit from The Bible and leaving out key parts of Rev 13, I know what I think. Look around, stuff is pretty weird. Getting weirder, by the day.
