Prophecy Update #782 – Have A Cow

According to a Hamas spokesperson, their current war was triggered by the arrival of red heifers to Israel. Hamas declared war on Israel because they have…red heifers of mass destruction??

Prophecy Update #781 – A Kohen Brother

The Jews believe they have found the Kohen who qualifies to lead the red heifer ceremony. Kohen is the Hebrew word for priest and it is specifically used in reference to the descendants of Aaron.

The Temple Institute released a photograph on twitter with the caption, “A KOHEN FIT TO PERFORM THE RED HEIFER CEREMONY!”

Prophecy Update #780 – You Saw Me Standing Alone

There are predictions in the Bible that, in the end times, Israel will stand alone. The United States continues to officially back away from Israel.

Recently, Senator Chuck Schumer called upon Israel to hold new elections to change their government – specifically to dump Benjamin Netanyahu from leadership.

Prophecy Update #779 – Tribulation, Not Terminators

A recent article was titled, Top AI scientist says artificial intelligence will pass human intelligence WAY sooner than initially thought.

For many years, we’ve been talking about the prophet Daniel’s prediction that, in the end times, there would be an exponential explosion of knowledge.

Now, even secular experts use that sort of terminology.

Prophecy Update #778 – Bow Now

One of the most outrageous predictions found in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ has to do with a “statue” that “comes to life.”

Today it isn’t so difficult to see this as a form of advanced Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Did you know that Microsoft’s AI Copilot recently went off the rails again? This time, it demanded worship and threatened those who wouldn’t bow with destruction.

Prophecy Update #777 – DO Weep For Me, Argentina

There is chatter that the Jews are planning to sacrifice a red heifer this Passover season. Meanwhile, Argentina has a new president, Javier Milei. He is beyond being a supporter of Israel. Though not a convert, he is obsessed with Judaism and has his own rabbi.

America continues to turn away from her friendship with Israel. Ironically, we who were the first to recognize Israeli statehood may be the first to now officially recognize a Palestinian state.

Prophecy Update #774 – My DNA Is Better Than Yours

Fragments of the Book of Giants shed light on the practices of the fallen angels of Genesis 6. They were tampering with cross-species genetics. How do the current trends toward crafting super-human genetics fit in with the Bible’s prophecy of the end times?

Prophecy Update #773 – Blinken’s Not Thinkin’

Secretary of State Tony Blinken has asked the U.S. State Department to conduct a review and present policy options on possible recognition of a Palestinian state after the war in Gaza.

Blessing Israel does not mean we must condone everything she does or does not do. Cursing her, in part, would involve siding with her enemies.

Prophecy Update #767 – The Whole World Is Watching

Jesus once said, “This Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” We would expect that the Gospel would go out to the world in big numbers. It is.

Prophecy Update #765 – 2 + 2 = Daniel 12:4

Many experts are concerned that companies such as OpenAI are moving too fast towards developing artificial general intelligence, the term for a system that can perform a wide variety of tasks at human or above human levels of intelligence.

Prophecy Update #757 – Take Me To Your CEO

AI is everywhere these days – on your computer, at sports games, even in corporate board rooms. How might this line up with Bible prophecy?

It makes sense that the world would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are potential End Times phenomena the Bible predicts.

Prophecy Update #756 – The G

We are rushing headlong into the tyrannical one-world predicted in the Bible. If polls are correct, most of the people in the world favor it.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined that we have fewer than 10 years to reduce global emissions by half to avoid the worst impacts of catastrophic climate change. To tackle this urgent need, they say we must align food policy with climate policy and drastically reduce the amount of meat and dairy produced. This is especially true for countries with high consumption, like the United States. Cutting 90% of beef consumption and replacing 50% of other animal-based foods with plant-based foods in the United States would save more than 2 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions from being released into our atmosphere by 2030.

Prophecy Update #755 – Let’s Get Digital, Digital

In the Revelation, one thing John was shown about the future was a cashless, global system of commerce. Have you heard about FedNow, the Federal Reserve’s new instant payment service?

We are on the verge of a global, completely cashless economy that will be accessed by a personal biometric identifier.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls trend “the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.” That’s an extreme statement, but you can see how it is true. Once you must rely upon an all digital economy, the government will most assuredly gain access to your account to punish you, or to force behaviors they deem necessary.

Prophecy Update #754 – The Hateful 8

We discovered a new group with a global agenda. New to us, that is – they’ve been around since 2005. It is called C40 Cities.

US cities listed as members are Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Christians have long been accused of being conspiracy theorists for saying such things. Recently, I might say even suddenly, powerful groups of wealthy influencers, government officials, and tech giants, have come out of the closet with their radical global agendas.

Prophecy Update #753 – How Klaus Are We To Globalism?

Klaus Schwab has more than a few totalitarian plans for Planet Earth. His public statements on globalism and the radical change of human society are shocking to hear.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ predicts a global government in the End Times. Christian futurists have been talking about it for the longest time. It is happening.

Prophecy Update #752 – One Digital ID To Rule Us All

The world is trending toward a cashless economy, relying on technologies like AmazonOne, World Coin, and other digital currencies.

When cash is eliminated, and there is a digital global economic system, the world will be a keystroke away from tyranny.

In the Great Tribulation, the government will be global and totalitarian. We therefore expect governments to be moving in the direction of global, totalitarian control of citizens.

Recently, an AI-enabled drone “killed” its human operator in a simulation conducted by the US Air Force in order to override a possible “no” order stopping it from completing its mission.

AI is exactly the kind of thing we expect to be happening from our futurist reading of God’s Word.

Have A Bible Question?

We hope you enjoy it. Now back to your regular podcast. Have a great day!

Prophecy Update #742 – Explosion

There is a fascinating prediction at the end of the OT Book of Daniel. The last chapter is about the last days, looking beyond today. An angel told Daniel, “knowledge shall increase.”

Prophecy Update #738 – Robot In The Mirror

The sole reason we talk about AI is this: The Bible, 2,000 years ago, predicted an “image” would come to life. That prophecy could be fulfilled by AI. We are alive in the first and only time in history that makes any sense.

Prophecy Update #737 – Code Red

A Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem will play a critical role in the Time of Jacob’s Trouble we commonly call the Great Tribulation. Both Daniel and Jesus reference it. When there is news about rebuilding it, or reinstating sacrifices, it is what you expect from unfulfilled Bible prophecy.

Prophecy Update #735 – They’ve Taken The Man Out Of Repo Man

A cashless system of global commerce and identity is possible today, for the first time in human history. Two thousand years ago, the Bible predicted global government with the power to control all cashless commerce. It could happen overnight.

Prophecy Update #725 – I Fought The L.A.W.S.

The Beast in the Revelation will ultimately have the power and ability to kill anyone who does not swear allegiance to him. We expect government to be moving in the direction of more control over its citizens, and to be developing remote means to use lethal force. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #724 – Digital Dictators

We live at the time in the only time in human history in which it is possible for a universal ‘mark’ to identify every person on Earth. That by itself should stun you. The Mark of the Beast, whatever it will be, will render a person a global citizen under totalitarian control. We would therefore expect world leaders to be moving in the direction of global government that strips citizens of their rights. That is precisely the path world leaders are on. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #721 – Putin The Exorcist

When was the last time a conflict was described as a holy war, with Satanic influences, involving the antichrist and the end of the world? I’m not suggesting that Putin is the antichrist, or that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church is the false prophet. I am saying that the rhetoric coming out of Russia is not at all unusual in the prophetic light of the Book of the Revelation. We expect religion and politics to be in tandem during that awful time. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #720 – Keeping Score

The totalitarian, global government of the antichrist will enforce its mandates by restricting what a person can buy or sell. This will affect every aspect of life. We have been trending that way for some time. The COVID19 pandemic revealed how easy it is for government to mandate the behaviors they deem necessary, without regard to human rights. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #714 – The 66° Of 666

Many in world leadership are openly advocating a surveillance society where human rights and freedoms will be a thing of the past. They are using the need to address Climate Change as an overriding, global problem that overshadows any loss of personal freedoms. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #713 – Seeing Is Controlling

The government of the Great Tribulation will be totalitarian. The world leader we commonly call the antichrist will establish a surveillance society in which no one will be able to transact any business without being connected to a global system of commerce. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #712 – We Are The World, We Were Your Children

A one-world, global government, is predicted in the Revelation. You’d expect a hard push in that direction. The World Economic Forum is out in the open, pushing hard, with some of the wealthiest, most powerful people lending their muscle. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #699 – One Card To Rule Them All

Two-thousand plus years ago, the apostle John wrote about the future. He saw all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave… 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. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #698 – Take Your Stinking Hands Off Me, You Dumb Human!

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #693 – Push Reset

The End Times we read about in the Revelation is a global, one-world, totalitarian government. The currency of its citizens will be controlled by a global economic system involving some sort of personal identifier. It sounds exactly like the world the Great Reset is openly promoting. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #688 – Cashin’ Out

The prophecies we most discuss are those that predict a cashless, global economy, that is accessed by a personal identifier. During the future 7-year Great Tribulation, the world leader we call the antichrist will control commerce and travel, indeed every aspect of the lives of his citizens. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #687 – Enhanced Meta Transhumans

Satan’s Nephilim were the first attempt at what today is called Transhumanism. It is “the improvement of human capacities through advanced technology.” Examples are cryogenics, virtual reality, gene therapy/RNA interference, space colonization, cybernetics, autonomous self-replicating robots, molecular manufacturing, mind uploading, and artificial intelligence. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #684 – Long COVID

After the church has been resurrected and raptured, a strong world leader will gain totalitarian control of his citizens. He will require they swear allegiance to him. Anyone who refuses will be executed. The pandemic COVID19 is not an End Times plague. It has accelerated an acceptance of totalitarian control by governments around the globe. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #681 – Where Have All The Freedoms Gone?

Control over buying and selling involves control over pretty much everything. If the government wants to restrict your movements, they will. If they want to track you, they will. You get the idea. We are experiencing on a small scale what this kind of control will be full scale in the future. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #680 – Somebody’s Watchin’ You

The future is an intrusive surveillance state. Facial recognition, retinal scans, palm scans, and implanted chips are the tip of the technology iceberg that exist and are currently in use. Any of them could be used by government to restrict buying and selling, restrict travel, or pretty much anything else. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #676 – Our House Is A Very False House

We read about a Last Days global religious movement in the seventeenth chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It is referred to as “Babylon” because it is the final form of the religious rebellion at the Tower of Babel. We therefore expect movement towards a global religion, or at least an “ecumenical” movement, meaning all-inclusive, all-embracing, and universal. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #674 – The Punishers

The Book of the Revelation describes the antichrist having authoritarian control over his citizens. In the future Great Tribulation technology will access the global grid and determine a person’s level of participation in society. It will be possible to restrict purchases and participation. The technology is ready for this digital dictatorship. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #670 – The Shots Felt Around The World

COVID19 is not prophetic. However, the methods and mandates that are being utilized globally to combat it are predictive of the type of the socio-economic system that will play a significant role in the future government of the antichrist. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #668 – Mandate Or Manslaughter

Citizens in the future Great Tribulation will be mandated to participate in a system by which they must produce proof of compliance in order to be allowed to work or shop or dine or attend entertainment. Without proof, their livelihood and lifestyles will be restricted. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #666 – No App, No Access

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of Israel as a nation are all areas we see corroborating the End Times prophecies of the Bible. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #663 – Vac La France!

Mandatory vaccination that requires proof for a person to travel, for employment, dining, entertainment, and anything else that a government deems necessary, sounds too much like the Last Days prediction that at some point everyone on Earth will be subjected to a contactless, cashless system of commerce involving a mark on your hand or forehead. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #662 – Knock, Knock, It’s The President

We have for many decades understood from Bible prophecy that the End Times would feature a cashless, contactless global system of economics. Something in or on a person’s hand or forehead will allow them to conduct all necessary business and commerce. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #658 – Think You’re Going Somewhere?

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, increased surveillance, global government, and the exponential growth of human knowledge are all areas we see corroborating the prophecies of the Bible. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #657 – Big Trouble In Civilian China

The Mark of the Beast is presented in the Revelation as a means by which the governments of the future will control every aspect of a person’s life. With this “mark” you will be able to participate in society. Without it you will be severely restricted or cut off entirely. Communist China is showing us what this looks like. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #652 – The Face That Launched A Thousand Apps

John predicted the mark of the beast over 2000 years ago at a time when soldiers were getting paid with salt. He saw technology we take for granted. Here are a few of the biometric advances that could easily fit John’s vision of the future. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #649 – I’ll Pass

The possibility of enslaving citizens by some sort of biometric “mark” is fast becoming reality. The technology exists, right now, for everyone to use their fingerprints, or their palm prints, or a vein scan, or a retinal scan, or a wearable device, or an implanted chip, to identify themselves, and conduct all their business. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #646 – You Just Watch Me

It would seem that the apostle John was shown how what we call biometrics would be used to surveil and control the lives of those under antichrist’s reign. You would expect that the nations of the world to be trending toward a surveillance state made possible by biometric. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #644 – The COVID-19 Accelerator

People ask, “Does COVID19 have anything to do with Bible prophecy?” My answer is, “No, not directly.” By that I mean it is not one of the plagues we read about in the Revelation. Indirectly, however, COVID19 has a lot to do with Bible prophecy in that it is accelerating several prominent end times predictions. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #640 – Hip, Hip, Whatever Happened To HIPAA?

Until recently, unless you lived in China, it has been hard to believe that such a thing like the mark of the beast could be forced upon a freedom-loving public. In just a few months, however, COVID19 has effectively changed that. Around the world, citizens are going to be forced to receive vaccinations or suffer consequences. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #639 – Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

The Revelation of Jesus Christ seems to describe what commentators call a one-world government during the future Great Tribulation. You’d therefore expect a serious movement towards a more global governance to gain traction before the Tribulation.

Pastor Gene Pensiero

Prophecy Update #638 – I Got You Under My Skin

The Mark of the Beast. Believers and nonbelievers alike have some familiarity with it. It is something having to do with your hand or forehead that will allow you to identify yourself, and to conduct all of your business. Biblically, it seems to be a system in place globally before the Beast (the antichrist) declares himself to be God. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #637 – I’m Sorry, Dave. I’m Afraid I Can’t Do That.

There is a fantastic prophecy that, during the Great Tribulation, a person called “the false prophet” will construct an “image” of the world leader known as the Beast or the antichrist that will seemingly or actually come to life. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #636 – Build Back Better Worry

The final book of the Bible, the Revelation, predicts what the world will look like in the End Times – especially during the seven year Great Tribulation. The world will be under the rule of one government, one economic system, and one leader. A global, one-world order, is being openly pursued by many of the world’s most powerful men. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #635 – No Credit For You

China has developed what is called, “Social Credit.” It is a system that, quite literally, controls the participation of citizens in everyday purchases and activities. Each citizen is given a social credit score, with rewards for those who have a high rating and punishments for those with low scores. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #632 – Please Don’t Touch

Indirectly, the global response to COVID-19 does potentially have a prophetic impact. We’ve been pointing out for decades that, in the last days and then in the Great Tribulation, the world will be united in commerce. There will be some sort of digital and biometric technology by which everyone can be identified, and can conduct all their business. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #631 – Acceleration

Does COVID-19 have anything to do with Bible prophecy? Not directly; and by that I mean, it isn’t a pestilence from the Book of the Revelation. The things you read about in chapters 6-19, the Great Tribulation, are after the rapture of the church. Indirectly, the global response to the pandemic does potentially have a prophetic impact. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #629 – It’s Ultron With No Avengers

There is an intriguing passage in the Revelation about an idol, a guy we call the false prophet, and the Beast – another name of the antichrist. Apparently an image of the Beast is going to come to “life.” Could AI be part of this prophecy? (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #628 – This Is The Sick That Never Ends

COVID19 is not one of the end times pestilences. Those occur during the seven year Great Tribulation. We are not in the Great Tribulation, nor will the church ever be in it. God has promised to keep us from that day. What COVID19 is doing is catapulting us forward to a “new normal,” global society that will depend upon biometric technologies to identify, and in many ways control citizens. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #627 – Who Was That Masked Man?

The Bible predicts that one day the citizens of the world would be identified by, and conduct all their business by, something in or on their forehead or their hand. The prophecy seemed ridiculous for centuries. Not anymore. There are any number of biometric technologies fully developed that could be implemented globally pretty much overnight. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #624 – Tracking Stars

COVID19 is not a one of the pestilences we read about in the Bible. Those occur during the Great Tribulation. If it has a sinister, Satanic, spiritual purpose, it is that it is pushing the world population towards a global, digital biometric system. It is the kind of system futurists have been predicting since the apostle John wrote the Revelation. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #621 – The Tais Have It

It’s not being a conspiracy theorist to see one scenario that calls for everyone in the world to be vaccinated, and to be able to prove their COVID-19 status digitally. Without proof of the vaccination, you could be barred from entering stores and other buildings. That is to say, you won’t be able to buy or sell anything. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #620 – V For Vaccine

Until recently, it was hard to believe that the global population would willingly give up their privacy in favor of an identification system like the one predicted in the Revelation. COVID-19 could be accelerating global acceptance of some sort of contactless digital ID. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #613 – Can’t Touch This

For decades futurists have talked about a way of transacting business, or of being identified, by the “mark” on the hand or forehead described in the Revelation. For a long time, it seemed impossible and ridiculous. But now, today, we know it as biometrics, and its implementation is happening. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #612 – Not Your Momma’s Blue Chip Stamps

In the yet future Great Tribulation, there comes a point at which the governments of the world, and the antichrist in particular, are able to control all buying and selling by consumers.

In the yet future Great Tribulation, there comes a point at which the governments of the world, and the antichrist in particular, are able to control all buying and selling by consumers.

Prophecy Update #605 – Smart In The City

Prophecy Update #604 – Skin In The Game

One well-known prediction in the Revelation is that of people needing what is called a ‘mark’ on their hand or forehead. Without it, people cannot buy or sell anything, or conduct any business.

Prophecy Update #594 – Kiosk Krazy

The phrase ‘Smart City’ is something you’re going to hear more-and-more. Listen for it. Is this the Mark of the Beast? No, the Mark isn’t technology, it is swearing allegiance to him, worshiping him.

Prophecy Update #591 – Marked Men

Prophecy Update #546 – A Chip Off The ‘Ole Beast

Since the “mark of the beast” involves buying and selling, and is said to be on the hand or forehead, students of Bible prophecy have for many decades thought it would involve placing a microchip under the skin.

Prophecy Update #494 – Facial Lookin’ Good

We read in the Revelation of Jesus Christ that people will be conducting cashless transactions utilizing a system that involves what is called a ‘mark’ on their hand or forehead.
