Welcome to “A Brave New World.”

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

PSALM 139:14

These three stories together caught my attention and I wanted to highlight them in this brief blog post because I see that “playing God” has a number of consequences and in our arrogance we are playing with things we have little to knowledge about. I am counting on anyone who reads this to connect the dots for themselves, be Bereans like Acts 17:11 says, and do more research at their leisure. 🙂

STORY 1: TRANSPLANT RECEIPIENT HAS DNA ALTERED

Photo of DNA sequence and strand courtest of Independent.co.uk.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/dna-bone-marrow-transplant-man-chimera-chris-long-forensic-science-police-a9238636.html Man who had transplant finds out months later his DNA has changed to that of donor 5,000 miles away

I’m not going to quote everything but just a few stand out items. The story opens up immediately with this candid and honest statement:

Chris Long’s sheriff’s office colleagues have been using him as a human guinea pig, writes Heather Murphy

Three months after his bone marrow transplant, Chris Long of Reno, Nevada, learned that the DNA in his blood had changed. It had all been replaced by the DNA of his donor, a German man he had exchanged just a handful of messages with.

Even more surprising to Long and other colleagues at the crime lab, all of the DNA in his semen belonged to his donor. “I thought that it was pretty incredible that I can disappear and someone else can appear,” he said.

Let that bolded statement really sink in.

Long had become a chimera, the technical term for the rare person with two sets of DNA. 

BOOM. We are now discussing chimeras in the opem mainstream media.

Please read the rest of it. It’s jaw dropping and creepy is as good of a word any. Alice has gone through the Looking Glass as the saying goes. We are past a point of no return with a lot of this.

For your consideration:

10 Organ Recipients Who Took On The Traits Of Their Donors

Past this, I would mention HIGHLY DEBATABLE “Cell Memory Theory.” I will let you all go down that rabbit trail on your own but I do think I have put enough here that’s credible that should suggest something is going on here past our scale of known knowledge. Is that fair?

WHAT IT IS: A new method for preserving genetically encoded data into common manufacturing materials is reported

The future of digital memory may be inside a small plastic bunny that contains 3-D printing instructions for replicating itself stored in artificial DNA, said scientists Monday, who announced a method for mixing genetically encoded data into common manufacturing materials.

Do they really understand what this means and how it works? There is some scientific and technical detail in this that people should read on their own that I won’t quote here for the sake of space but I want to quote this and close it out:

“We wanted to show that you can use this technology to hide information in common objects,” said computational genomics researcher Yaniv Erlich, a co-author of the study who is chief science officer at a consumer genetics genealogy company called MyHeritage. The company wasn’t involved in the project.

“All of the technologies we use to build computers today are reaching their limit,” said computer scientist Luis Ceze at the University of Washington in Seattle, who is developing techniques to synthesize and read digital data stored in DNA. He wasn’t involved in the project. “It is unavoidable to go to the molecular code. There is nowhere else to go.”

How much storage space do we need and for what? Seriously? Think about it.

They see DNA is the next step past standard technology for storage but I really don’t think their ambitions cease here and they really know so little, truly, about how this works and what they are doing as evidenced in story 1 just for starters.

“You can take a piece of my ear, my heart or a drop of blood and extract my entire DNA code,” said Dr. Grass, who was the senior author of the study. “With this, you can do the same thing in a  product.”

I really don’t think it’s this easy and simple. Do you? What are the consequences?


STORY 3: TRANSHUMANISM AND MICROCHIPS FOR HUMANS

Image courtesy of Screenshot Magazine

https://screenshot-magazine.com/the-future/microchipping-today/ Micro­chip­ping: where it’s at and why it still hasn’t gotten under our skin (yet-Eric)

This article summarizes well, to date, the acceptance of microchipping humans around the world to the mixed reactions and ethical debates well under way. It’s worth reading certainly and there are few items I would like to single out in the context of everything else in this post.

The biggest tagline out of the entire article is this:

“Microchips could be our society’s gamechanger—the only question is: are we ready for that kind of change?”

It doesn’t matter. Society will continue to be conditioned and ultimately will be forced to do so under a World Leader. See Revelation 13.

So yes it’s not only a game changer but it’s going to “end gamer” and possibly sooner than we all think.

COMMENTS:

26And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Luke 17: 26-30

and

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:37-39

I realize there is a lot that goes into these passages that begins primarily with the overall state of sin and decay that the Earth will be in ultimately when the Second Coming of Jesus Christ happens.

These passages also indicate the beginning of birth pangs. If we can read passages like these and already recognize a number of conditions happening now then it would logically suggest that we are not far from the culminating event which means other events are closer ever yet like the Rapture of the Church and the Great Tribulation.

Once birth pangs begin and we have them in any category you wish to name as even my humble blog has shown in the past they increase in both speed and intensity. They do not slow down. They certainly do not stop.

I also recognize there are a number of speculative ideas that spawn off of these passages so I will refer even to earlier blog posts I made along these lines and challenge you all to ponder and study for yourselves, truly, what did Jesus mean when He warned “Like the Days of Noah and Lot” with no caveats?

With Lot you are in Sodom and Gomorrah ultimately. How are we all doing with the LGBTQLOLWTHBBQ movement and the deliberate corruption of our youth?

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 18:6. By all means read the surrounding verses for full context. There is a going to be a ton of millstone action happening very soon between this and all of the abortions. Believe it.

With Noah you are ultimately at Genesis 6 and then the Flood itself. Why did the Flood have to happen? There is no way to read through that to realize you have to be talking about more than just being “pure of sin.” It’s a genetic issue as well. Satan wanted to corrupt the genetic line so the Messiah couldn’t be born. He failed.

Genesis 6 of course is extremely controversial but suffice to say it involved tampering and corrupting human DNA at minimum regardless of how you want to debate the rest of it and how it was done. It’s not going to happen again because those fallen angels were locked up for doing that and no other fallen angel is going to be stupid enough to try it like that again. See the book of Jude.

Here is something even bigger picture that I have thought about before:

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:26-27

There is a deep and rich study to be had in what it means truly to be made in the image of God including the fact the Trinity is clearly apparent. Genesis 1 gives us the overview and Genesis 2 restates it “down on the ground.”

Why do I bring this up?

Satan hates God and His creation. He continues to assault and any all aspects of this creation right down to this: Assaulting the aspect of “made in the image of God.” Think about it. He has corrupted our youth in form or another, we have seen people frankly butcher their appearances and mutilate themselves to insane degrees, he has been breaking down sexuality and gender roles (LGBTQ, etc.) and now there really is one place left to go after that: What does it mean to be human? We have already seen that discussion circulate in trans humanist circles, A.I., and any topics like these and I think we are already well into that last and final phase as well when I see stories like these in the mainstream. There is nowhere else left to go once you start trying to redefine even that.

Like the book of Ecclesiastes says: There is nothing new under the sun.

Passages like Revelation 13 describe what’s known as the Mark of the Beast and it makes very clear that anyone that takes this Mark is beyond redemption at that point. Why? What protocol changes vs now where even the rankest Satanist or Adolf Hitler can theoretically come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, get saved, and be redeemed.

What changes? The one theory I have some sympathy for is that it’s “possible” the Mark of the Beast will be a piece of biotechnology that would “possibly” alter the user’s DNA to something else.

I will leave it to you to ponder what that would be but whatever happens when taking the Mark it’s clearly a line of no return. There is no chance for redemption after this.

Let’s be very conservative: Forget classified. Forget speculation.

Going just by what we see here and what’s available in the mainstream only I am becoming more sympathetic to that theory with each passing day although I don’t plan on being here personally to vet it. I certainly don’t think it’s worth arguing with anyone about it, either, but I just have to wonder when I keep these sorts of things.

The important point here is: You don’t want to be here to find out directly, either. 🙂

CONCLUSION:

I strongly believe that we are in the season before the return of Jesus Christ and *even I* can’t miss some of this so I feel compelled to shine whatever small light I can on it from my little corner.

Read John 3:16. Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-14. Read Psalm 22. Read Isaiah 53.

Ask God to show you the truth of who He is if you have any doubts at all about where you are going when you die.

A classic Rapture image from artwork that I saw as back as the 1980s. Source: Unknown but hats off to whomever it was.

You certainly don’t want to be here when all of these things break out in full earnest in what’s known as the Great Tribulation. You don’t have to be and I understand people have differing views on that, too. No one in their right mind ideally wants to be here for any of it!

Regardless of that: Make sure you know today where you are going to spend eternity. Don’t wait because we don’t have a lot of time left.

God bless and thanks for reading. 🙂

MIDDLE EAST:

http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Israel-Syria-used-chemical-weapons-during-ceasefire-446556

Israel says Syria used chemical weapons during ceasefire

This could become a big deal.  In the past Israel has made no bones about it that if they caught ISIS or other elements with certain weapons like these and especially if they determined they were directly threatened by said weapons that it would be attacked and destroyed in large-scale including up to attacking Damascus.

https://www.rt.com/news/328887-damascus-devastation-drone-footage/

Here is some recent drone footage from inside Damascus from a month ago.    I don’t have to know anything at all to see a place that’s well on its way to full desolation. It looks irretrievable now.  It would not take much coming from the likes of this to finish the place off for good.  We see in Isaiah 17 a prophecy that I believe has been in slow motion process for the last few years will suddenly come to a swift, shock and awe conclusion.  Many of us suspect Israel will be the cause for that culminating event but it’s not something to be dogmatic about.

CULTURE AND SOCIETY:

This is broadly speaking of course:

From September 2015: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/20/fashion/move-over-millennials-here-comes-generation-z.html
More recently:  http://www.businessinsider.com/afp-generation-z-born-in-the-digital-age-2015-2
Generation Z… the post millennials.    Try and digest that concept.

The “first native digital generation” is one of several descriptions that stand out to me and especially when I think about transhumanism and some other overlapping concepts that I fully expect to culminate in the Antichrist’s Mark of the Beast.

These kids will take that Mark at the drop of a hat and will want to. Plenty of people would do it right now.  Why? Because I think it’s already a given now what kind of concept that Mark will be as we see the evolution of RFID, biochips, and other technologies like these. It will be cool, attractive, desireable, high tech, and it may offer some perks like false immortality or some other incentives.  It will be something people deliberately choose and want to.

For me, this is another academic, attrition talking point staring us in the face.  How does a society on any scale continue on what’s being described there? I’m trying to imagine a world where the broadly described Generation Z is in charge of it and my mind reels. Having the millennials in charge is a bad enough concept. This is even worse.   Again, broadly speaking.

I sincerely wonder if Generation Z might be the end of the road based on everything we are seeing now.   Time will tell but I strongly suspect it may be.

DAYS OF NOAH/LOT:

Here is just one snapshot of daily happenings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5-1PHZgNpA&feature=youtu.be&a

How much longer can this drag out and who wants it to, really?  This is with “The Restrainer” still in place? Are you kidding me?

Matthew 24 Jesus talks about the lesson of the fig tree.  Matthew 24 is all about the time leading up to His Second Coming. If the fig tree is Israel coming up out of the ground and that clock started in 1948… then in verse 34 he’s finished describing a slew of events finishing with said fig tree and its development he concludes with: “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”

If some of us are reading that right, and I really hope we are, then “that generation” would have to be the baby boomers.  If so then I can only hope it doesn’t come down to the wire where we have to wait until the last baby boomer on the planet is in a nursing home somewhere at 120 years old and right before they breathe their last breath this thing finally turns over.    That really would be a “photo finish!”     Just something to chew on.

 

SPIRITUAL CHALLENGES:

Spiritual warfare:  Read Ephesians 6 slowly, carefully and consider doing an in depth study!
DEMONIC OPPRESSION

You can’t medicate this away, folks.  Often times that might even make it worse.

A lot of us have been having a lot of problems in this area. This has been huge in our household on a lot of levels and we covet your prayers. I know a lot of the rest of you are going through similar or even worse challenges.

I hope the following links are of some potential help and useful to you all.  I tried to pick the best well-rounded, “down the middle” articles that I could find.   This is all made worse in an increasingly isolated society.  It’s like some of us fell through the cracks. What do we do?

Anyways, I hope these are helpful. 🙂

HE WHO HAS EARS…

When you cry wolf far too many times it’s hard to believe anything you say when and if the time comes something serious may have happened.

I do pray for a certain individual and his family right now for safety and healing across the boards even though I have serious doubts about a certain person’s interpretation of said events because of what I stated above.

 

PARTING SHOT:

When you’re looking for a political messiah, instead of the Messiah, you have made them an idol.  You have made (insert any nation’s name here that applies) your god.

^^ This is all over the planet and that’s not an accident. Some of it from potentially surprising sources.  Even the elect could be deceived, right? Why not get a precursor and a warm up on that, too, along with everything else?   Who says we can’t? We’ve seem warm up on virtually everything else.

Pray, discern, listen, and be wary.   If it sounds too good to be true? It is.
