The Rise of the Antichrist and Modern Technology
With modern technology and advanced systems, computer chips and high-tech surveillance, everything is falling into place for the global economy to take off, and the technology and computing power are in place, developed, tested and proven.
The Anti-Christ world leader will be the author of confusion, the master counterfeiter, and through his many images he will deceive the nations. The Antichrist will come on the world stage peaceably, with flatteries, via powerful persuasion and propaganda. By this means he is able to lead captive the masses.
Through his many images and idols he shows himself clever, for acceptance of his 666 mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-18) will be the logical, reasonable, convenient, securest norm, accepted in the eyes of man, both small and great.
It’s getting darker and colder all the time, and many people in the world can feel it. They may not understand it, and they don’t always want to admit it, but it’s happening. The sun is setting, the darkness is falling, and the world is looking for hope, for some ray of light. The nations question “Why all the pain and strife in the world? Why troubles and sorrows?” These questions are being raised in people’s hearts and minds, and those whose foundations have been built on the sand, or others who had no foundations to begin with, have no answers.
Never in all of history until now has the technology existed for a world dictatorship to rule the world. All that is needed is the right conditions: a totalitarian world dictatorship to put it into effect. The Antichrist government will use modern technology to rule the world.
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666)" (Revelation 13:16-18).
The technology for the Antichrist’s One World monetary system is already developed. Just think, all the peoples of the earth on the same wavelength, the same channel.
All around, there are signs of the coming End, signs of the Antichrist, signs of the coming One World Order. Man’s knowledge continues to increase, but it now heads in more dangerous directions than in the past, including attempts to clone human beings, fuse man and beast in the embryo, or genetically modify man. As men seek to unravel the secrets of life, they also seek to combine it with machine. They seek to make man himself more of a machine, implanting chips, sensors, and electrodes to enhance man’s powers and intelligence.
Despite the promises of technology, modern comforts and conveniences, and affluence unknown in the past, poverty persists. War threatens. Disease stalks and kills many. The world thinks they’ve entered the great new age of technology, and the 21st century is going to thrust them into the greatest glories of their “techno-age.” The technology known as biometrics, for example, the process of collecting, processing and storing details of a person’s physical characteristics, has excited the interest of governments and companies. The most popular forms of biometric identification are retina scans, hand geometry, thumb scans, fingerprints, voice recognition, and digitized photographs.
This is the sort of power that will be needed to run a one-world government. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with technology and being able to do things faster and better. But these will be useful mechanisms of the Antichrist’s New World Order. Technology has broken down borders and nations are becoming less important, which will make the creation of his one-world government relatively simpler. It’s happening so gradually that global government will one day be a logical next step.
The world will accept the Antichrist's leadership, only to find that the heaven on earth he promised them has become hell on earth, with hell hereafter for those who take his 666 mark.

Simply pray this little prayer and He will come in: “Dear Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God and that You died for me. Please forgive me for all my sins. I ask You to please come into my heart and grant me Your free gift of Eternal Life.
