Pay-by-Palm: Just an Innocent Technology to Make Life Easier?

Part 1 Darkness is engulfing this world right now and I believe it will get much worse in the next decade. The events you are now seeing, I believe, have been accurately recorded in Bible prophecy. A false light and a false hope will emerge from this and great steps toward the Antichrist regime will be the outcome. The Antichrist regime will be marked by deception on a GLOBAL scale never before seen.
Dan 8:24 “His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully, And shall prosper and thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people. “Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; But he shall be broken without human means.”
2Th 2:7 “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Mat 24:3 “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”
The Antichrist regime will be marked by 3 main components. A one world government ruled by the Antichrist. This starts out by the world being divided into 10 regions ruled by 10 rulers who give their power to the Antichrist.
Dan 7:23 “”Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be A fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all other kingdoms, And shall devour the whole earth, Trample it and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings. He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.”
A global monetary system ran by the Antichrist.
Rev 13:16 “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
The 3rd leg of this empire will be a global religion with the Antichrist being worshiped as God.
Rev 13:11 “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth—by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.”
All of this will be brought upon the people of earth through deception that is so great that it would deceive even the elect of God if He allowed it.
Mat 24:21 “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
There is a good chance that after this pandemic, the world as we know it will be changed from one degree or another, with most of the people in this world begging for it. This pandemic has Satan’s fingerprints all over it. The speaker of the house tried to force, in the relief bill, a digital currency with digital wallets controlled by the Federal reserve bank, which is a privately owned bank outside government control. Many believe as I do, believers and non believers, that this pandemic will lead from the crashing of this current monetary system to a new cashless digital one. There are articles already written by United Nation officials claiming that this virus is being transmitted by the exchange of cash. People who buy into this will beg for the cashless society that the elites have been pushing for many years.
Through fear of this pandemic there is a mad rush for vaccines and medicines to combat it. You have the world’s richest people, like Bill Gates, governments all over the world and the pharmaceutical industry pushing hard for mandatory vaccines. Bill Gates is working with companies like ID 2020 to combine vaccines with some form of implantable digital identification. Look how accurate Rev. 18 speaks of this. Many Christians don’t realize that Revelation 18, written 2000 years ago, speaks of a future event that I believe hasn’t happened yet. What’s happening today with this virus may be part of it, emphasis on ‘may be’. It’s easier to see prophecy’s fulfillment looking back on history, it’s harder to see it when it hasn’t happened yet. A quick breakdown of Revelation 18, it talks about the last world empire with three main aspects to it: a one world government, ruled by the Antichrist; a one world economic system; and a one world religious system. In Revelation 17 God judges the religious system of this empire and in Revelation 18, He judges the financial system of this empire. It speaks of the world’s richest people controlling the kings of the earth with their wealth and it speaks of how great is these people’s wealth. You get down to verse 23 and 24 and it tells us the main reason God is judging this system. I believe this is also the judgment James spoke about in the first few verses of James chapter 5.
Rev 18:23 “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.”
What’s important about this is that in verse 23 the word “sorceries” is φαρμακεία. It is the same word that we get pharmacy and pharmaceuticals from. Thayer’s greek dictionary defines it this way:
pharmakeia Thayer Definition: 1) the use or the administering of drugs 2) poisoning 3) sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it 4) metaphorically the deceptions and seductions of idolatry Part of Speech: noun feminine
When the Bible speaks about magical arts it always uses a different Greek word for sorcery than the one that is used in Rev 18. So in my opinion, a more accurate and literal translation would be ‘by their pharmaceuticals they deceived the nations. I have been teaching this for about a decade now. What’s interesting today, the last I checked, there are 13 major pharmaceuticals in this world and they are all owned by the rich elitist. Those who are pushing for this last days empire which has not yet taken place.
God shows us the future judgment of these individuals for the crimes they have committed against humanity on a global scale. Is this pandemic going to lead to mandatory vaccines across the globe? Some countries have already said there will be mandatory vaccines as a result. Will these mandatory vaccines be part of the past events that lead to the judgment in Rev. 18? What is going to be in these pharmaceuticals that causes death on a global scale? Are these pharmaceuticals going to be tied with micro chipping that leads to the mark of the beast? We will have to wait and see if what’s going on now is tied to this. One thing that is certain though is the identity of the guilty parties: the world’s elite who own everything, the politicians of this world who are bought by the elite, and their pharmaceuticals that are controlled by the elite. All this done on a global scale, which may be like the one we are in the midst of now.
Part 2 How do these wicked people get away with this? How are they going to control the masses? It will be by deception and Satan’s greatest tool FEAR. Here is what God’s Word tells us about Satan’s power.
Heb 2:14 “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”
God says that Satan has the power of death, and it is through fear of death that he controls and herds the masses. Through the fear of death Satan has most of those in this world under his bondage. Look at the fear that is gripping the world today. People are freaking out over this pandemic and this fear is being stroked daily by the elite owned media and politicians. The good news is that a child of God has the power to overcome Satan’s greatest weapon! This power is God’s love.
2Ti 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Joh 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
1Jn 4:8 “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
Rev 12:7 “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”
The tribulation saints overcame the power of the devil, which is the fear of death, because they were washed in the blood of the Lamb; they had no fear of death. Satan’s greatest weapon was neutralized because they loved the Lord more than their own lives. I can’t imagine how devastating this is to Satan that every time he is overcome by a believer, it will be an embarrassing slap in his face reminding him of his utter defeat when the Lord Jesus laid His life down on the cross 2,000 years ago so that we can have eternal life. This is one reason why Satan hates the blood of Jesus, because it gives little, insignificant people like us power over him. Paul tells us how great this power we have in Christ is.
1Co 15:22 “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.”
1Co 15:50 “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.” “O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING? O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
Right now I am watching to see the global direction Satan is plotting for this world by the fear of death. Will it be great strides or small? I believe because it is global in scope that it will be a big move by Satan. Already we see the power of this system to lock down the world through fear. We see the players of Rev. 18 pushing their devilish agendas very hard. We see a push to a new monetary system as the old one collapses. We see the greatest bank heist in the history of mankind taking place right before our eyes, and it is the international bankers who are the thieves and the small people like us the victims. The Bible says Satan comes as a roaring lion seeking to devour and as an angel of light deceiving the masses. He comes to kill, steal and destroy. He wears a black hat and a white hat at his choosing, I believe we are seeing both in this pandemic. Don’t be surprised to see Satan set the stage for his role as an angel of light to emerge. The motto of those serving Satan is “Order out of Chaos”; they create the chaos so they can bring forth their order. You hear this mantra in every disaster proclaimed by high officials saying things like “never let a good disaster go to waste.”
Man’s true salvation will be in the Lord Jesus Christ, not self serving politicians fornicating with their money masters who are serving Satan. The Lord Jesus rules by giving eternal life to those who trust Him and setting them free from the bondage of Satan. Satan rules by the fear of death, forcing men into bondage. God rules by love, offering eternal life and a pardon of our crimes against Him, through the giving of His only beggotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. God’s Word tells us today is the day of salvation. Today, He is seeking to save those who are lost, but that time will soon come to an end at His second coming. He will come to judge this world and pour out His wrath on those who reject Him, those who chose to be His enemy by serving self and Satan, rather than their creator. Man’s only escape will be to call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ while there is still time. Today is the day of salvation.
Part 3 Rom 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, WHO BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.“
Luk 23:38 “And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.””
What a close call! The thief on the cross called on the name of the Lord to be saved just moments from death. He knew he was a guilty sinner deserving death and acknowledged it before the Lord Jesus. By the Spirit of God he knew his only hope was the innocent man who was unjustly condemned right next to him and about to give His life so that he could live. He did just like we learned in Romans 10. He confessed Jesus as Lord with his mouth and he had to believe in his heart that God was going to raise him from the dead. How else could he say “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”? The most beautiful part was the response of the Lord Jesus Christ “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
This man was saved as I say, “by the skin of his teeth”, he was just hours away from certain death. How fitting it was to see the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated at the very crucifixion where He gave His life so others may live. Yet at the same time we see the foolishness of the other criminal, who rejected his only hope of salvation. He perished because he refused the love of God. You wonder what his protest was. Was it that the Creator had no right to rule the created? How insane is this, can the created demand such a thing of the Creator? Who knows what excuses this man made to reject the salvation God freely offered him. Oh, the regrets he must have had as he closed his eyes for the last time on this side of eternity only to open them on the other side to the wailing and gnashing of teeth for all eternity! He refused to bow the knee to the Lord Jesus on this side of eternity, but he most certainly did on the other side, sadly it was too late.
Today is the day of salvation, mankind’s only hope is the Lord Jesus Christ. Sadly, most will go through this life and hard times like this with no hope, no peace, no love and no forgiveness because like the thief that perished at the cross, they too will refuse to bow the knee to the Lord Jesus Christ. You wonder what their excuse is. My prayer is that through these difficult times many will sense the hopelessness and despair that man has to offer and turn to their true salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ. As our officials are crying out “wash your hands to be saved”, the Lord Jesus tells us that true salvation comes from having our sins washed away by faith in His precious blood that He spilled on Calvary 2,000 years ago.
Php 2:5 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
2Co 6:1 “We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says: “IN AN ACCEPTABLE TIME I HAVE HEARD YOU, AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION I HAVE HELPED YOU.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
In Christ,

I wrote this article at the beginning of Covid. I may have to update it and talk about Matt. 24. Many Bible teaches believe the phrase “kingdom against kingdom” in Matt. 24:7-8 is talking about civil war taking place in many countries on a global scale as one of the five conditions at the end of the age.

Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Look at what we are now witnessing on a global scale, those for the jab and mandates against those who oppose the jabs and mandates. When we see these five conditions take place verse 8 says this is “the beginning of sorrows” I believe humanity is headed for some very rough times in the near future.
