- 0:02Speaker 1: The Week in Bible prophecy a Prophecy Watchers podcast.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, welcome to podcasts Mondo Gonzalez here in studio with
- 0:11Speaker 2: Nathan Jones from lamb Line, and here we're going to
- 0:13Speaker 2: talk about a few things.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Welcome, it's good to be here, Mando.
- 0:16Speaker 2: So you are going to be speaking at our conference
- 0:19Speaker 2: in orlanda Winn. Remind everybody for those that haven't got
- 0:23Speaker 2: a seat, we sold out. We have eight hundred and
- 0:26Speaker 2: eighty eight people. But we're also still of course room
- 0:29Speaker 2: for our for live streaming. So if you're listening to
- 0:32Speaker 2: this and you know you want to be a part
- 0:34Speaker 2: of live streaming, you can prophecy watchers dot com. But
- 0:36Speaker 2: one of the things you're discussing there is technology and
- 0:40Speaker 2: really the end time. So kind of give us a
- 0:42Speaker 2: give us a couple of minutes here or maybe a
- 0:44Speaker 2: summary of why technology is important in the sense of
- 0:48Speaker 2: Biblical prophecy.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Well, because the Bible is filled with technology. I mean
- 0:51Speaker 3: you can go all the way back to Adam and
- 0:52Speaker 3: Eve and how did they garden. Well, they had to
- 0:55Speaker 3: invent tools. They had to have make clothes, so they
- 0:58Speaker 3: needed to sew things, which's textiles. You know, they built cities.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Tubulcane was a great city builder and forger of iron.
- 1:06Speaker 3: They created musical instruments. We tend to think that we're
- 1:08Speaker 3: so modern and everybody back then was so stupid, But
- 1:12Speaker 3: they were much brighter than us, and they had less technology,
- 1:15Speaker 3: but they made what they had based on innovation. And
- 1:19Speaker 3: so what is technology but the fixing problems and making stuff?
- 1:23Speaker 3: You know, we tend to think, oh, you know, technology
- 1:25Speaker 3: is a real complicated thing. But it's just fixing our
- 1:27Speaker 3: problems and that's a good thing. And so I don't
- 1:30Speaker 3: think people have to fear technology as long as it's
- 1:32Speaker 3: in the right hands for the betterment of mankind and society.
- 1:35Speaker 3: In the wrong hands, technology can be quite a fearful thing.
- 1:37Speaker 3: So what I'm going to do in my presentation the
- 1:39Speaker 3: end Time Sign of Technology at the conference is explain
- 1:43Speaker 3: that God is the source and the provider and the
- 1:45Speaker 3: giver of information and technology. A site for instance, the
- 1:50Speaker 3: Manhattan Project they built the atomic bombs in World War Two.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Many of the young scientists in their twenties said they
- 1:56Speaker 3: would wake up with inspirational ideas day after day after day,
- 1:59Speaker 3: and they didn't know where it came from. Well as Christians,
- 2:02Speaker 3: we know it came from the mind of God. He
- 2:04Speaker 3: was ready for us to have that technology. I'll then
- 2:06Speaker 3: go through all the different technologies in the Bible, and
- 2:09Speaker 3: I think the part that most people wait for is
- 2:10Speaker 3: they want to learn about what technologies the Bible prophesies
- 2:13Speaker 3: for the future. And we'll go through I believe nine
- 2:16Speaker 3: different categories.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's interesting because a lot of I
- 2:21Speaker 2: think interpretation is based on deduction logical inference. And what
- 2:25Speaker 2: I mean by that is you go to Revelation thirteen
- 2:29Speaker 2: talks about economics, some of the market, the beasts, people
- 2:31Speaker 2: buying and selling, and so we recognize that, Well, the
- 2:34Speaker 2: Bible doesn't specifically say in the end times doubts shall
- 2:38Speaker 2: be a cashlest society, but we recognize that by inference,
- 2:42Speaker 2: we recognize, well, one of is the only ways that
- 2:44Speaker 2: maybe somebody could enforce a buying and selling it would
- 2:47Speaker 2: be easier through a digital system. We also see in
- 2:51Speaker 2: Revelation leven talking about the two witnesses being seen to
- 2:55Speaker 2: die there on the streets. Their gifts are given, but
- 2:59Speaker 2: it says the entire world season and you're like, well,
- 3:01Speaker 2: what how in the world does this happen? So I
- 3:03Speaker 2: want to talk about that because Okay, one of the
- 3:05Speaker 2: ways that we when we look at those passages again
- 3:08Speaker 2: from an inference respector we go, well, are we there yet?
- 3:11Speaker 2: Well five hundred years ago that, or even one hundred
- 3:13Speaker 2: years ago. But one of the things I've been watching
- 3:16Speaker 2: is lately is all of the nature of satellites. And
- 3:19Speaker 2: what I mean by that is like global satellites. We
- 3:23Speaker 2: talk about GPS and other things, but more as it
- 3:25Speaker 2: relates to like starlink as an example, Elon Musk. There's
- 3:28Speaker 2: several companies that are working on this, and let's talk
- 3:32Speaker 2: about that that what what will satellites global satellites do?
- 3:37Speaker 2: I mean, Elon Musks has over thirty five hundred just
- 3:39Speaker 2: as of right now already up. The next best is
- 3:42Speaker 2: one Web but they have over five hundred satellites up.
- 3:47Speaker 2: How is this going to help fulfill what we understand
- 3:51Speaker 2: is prophetic elements?
- 3:52Speaker 3: Well, I read just a few years ago that NASA
- 3:55Speaker 3: was having trouble with SpaceX and all shooting rockets up
- 3:58Speaker 3: because there's so many just clutter garb floating around the
- 4:00Speaker 3: Earth that they have to time it so that you know,
- 4:03Speaker 3: you can't go as fast as it goes and hit
- 4:05Speaker 3: us satellite or something not blow up. So they're having
- 4:08Speaker 3: a harder and harder time with all that space junk
- 4:10Speaker 3: around the planet doing it. But a lot of those
- 4:12Speaker 3: satellites are communication satellites. And one of the end time
- 4:16Speaker 3: signs that we read in Daniel twelve four is that
- 4:19Speaker 3: knowledge and travel would increase. Well, obviously we've seen in
- 4:22Speaker 3: the last hundred years. When I love it when you
- 4:24Speaker 3: go to YouTube and you look at those old videos
- 4:26Speaker 3: of say San Francisco in nineteen oh six, and there's
- 4:28Speaker 3: more horse drawn carriages than there are cars. There's no
- 4:31Speaker 3: street lights. And now today where we're shooting in rockets
- 4:34Speaker 3: up to the moon and things like that. I mean,
- 4:36Speaker 3: that's incredible. And our knowledge due to computers and the
- 4:39Speaker 3: processing power. But another wonderful sign of technology in the
- 4:43Speaker 3: Bible is evangelism, and so I think in part all
- 4:47Speaker 3: this communication technologies we have today is being used to
- 4:51Speaker 3: get the Gospel out all around the planet. Matter of fact,
- 4:54Speaker 3: it's wild when you watch, say, for instance, videos of
- 4:57Speaker 3: people in Peru, like these tribes up in the Andes
- 4:59Speaker 3: Mountains and they got cell phones. I was in Nicaragua
- 5:02Speaker 3: just ten years ago, and they had cell phones and
- 5:05Speaker 3: big screen TVs well before I had a smartphone, and
- 5:08Speaker 3: so it's connecting people and bringing people. When I started
- 5:11Speaker 3: as Internet evangelists at Lamban Line Ministries in two thousand
- 5:14Speaker 3: and seven, I remember a statistic that said that we
- 5:16Speaker 3: were reaching about two billion people with technology and the Internet,
- 5:20Speaker 3: but then when everything started integrating in smartphones, it went
- 5:23Speaker 3: up to three and three point five and four point five.
- 5:26Speaker 3: And now they're talking about possibly by in the next
- 5:27Speaker 3: few years, six billion people accessible through the Internet that
- 5:31Speaker 3: we can get the gospel too. So the Lord is
- 5:33Speaker 3: using that as the great last push to get the
- 5:36Speaker 3: Gospel out to the world. And of course we know
- 5:38Speaker 3: that other technology has a bad side. It could be
- 5:41Speaker 3: used for constant monitor and tracking and following. I mean,
- 5:44Speaker 3: if they can see a dime on the ground from
- 5:46Speaker 3: way up and outer space, they know where you're going.
- 5:48Speaker 3: There's nowhere really to hide.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Yeah. I find it interesting because with all the latest
- 5:53Speaker 2: you see the success of Elon Musk and Starlink, and
- 5:56Speaker 2: he's got over a million subscribers now as a member,
- 6:00Speaker 2: and they are again his goal is forty over forty
- 6:05Speaker 2: thousand satellites, which of course as an astrophotographer, it just
- 6:08Speaker 2: makes me cringe.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Because every time you try to take a picture from this,
- 6:11Speaker 3: some satellite goes across.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And I have like in my images, I have a
- 6:14Speaker 2: way to process those out. But there it's like, oh
- 6:17Speaker 2: there it goes, there it goes and there a certain
- 6:18Speaker 2: times of the day, certain latitudes you know, that are worse.
- 6:21Speaker 2: But nevertheless, we look at this and we go, Okay,
- 6:25Speaker 2: here is a this this technology that will now allow
- 6:31Speaker 2: their working on Tea Mobile is partnering up with Elon
- 6:34Speaker 2: Musk this year. Interesting to put into place global satellite
- 6:39Speaker 2: phones way way different than what we've seen in the past,
- 6:41Speaker 2: which we're kind of clunky and really worthless. But the
- 6:45Speaker 2: ability to have phone in the middle of the jungle
- 6:50Speaker 2: and to be able to be connected and I would
- 6:54Speaker 2: say watched or again here I am watching on my phone.
- 6:59Speaker 2: We're not there yet. So the idea of watching the
- 7:01Speaker 2: two witnesses from the middle of the jungle of Africa.
- 7:04Speaker 2: We're not there yet, but within a few years that
- 7:08Speaker 2: it will absolutely be possible to fulfill what we see
- 7:12Speaker 2: in Revelation eleven.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. The idea is that the world is connected.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I know a lot of like talk with Elon Musk
- 7:19Speaker 3: and others is the purpose of connecting everybody is for
- 7:22Speaker 3: education purpose, and we want to get the Internet to
- 7:25Speaker 3: these indigenous tribes and so they can connect and learn
- 7:28Speaker 3: and have the same opportunity as everybody else. But at
- 7:30Speaker 3: the same time, like you said, it also connects everybody
- 7:33Speaker 3: to a global system. And as we all know, the
- 7:36Speaker 3: global World Economic Forum wants total control of the world
- 7:40Speaker 3: and they have to use technology to do it. So
- 7:41Speaker 3: it's got this good side, but it can also be used,
- 7:44Speaker 3: you know exactly.
- 7:45Speaker 2: I'm a pro tech person.
- 7:46Speaker 3: I love to yeah, no doubt, but definitely I think.
- 7:50Speaker 2: In this sense that you know, I tend to think
- 7:54Speaker 2: that again, I'm not a profit by any means, but
- 7:56Speaker 2: I tend to think that Elon Musk and Basos and
- 7:59Speaker 2: Gates and even several people in China, that these are
- 8:03Speaker 2: the ten Kings or the ten influencers that are that
- 8:07Speaker 2: are they're technocrats, that there's going to come a day.
- 8:10Speaker 2: You imagine Elon Musk with all of his technology, technological advancements.
- 8:15Speaker 2: We're going to talk about some other some of the
- 8:16Speaker 2: biomedical stuff in a minute, but the Antichrist comes to
- 8:19Speaker 2: him one day. And we know from the biblical reference
- 8:22Speaker 2: that the Antichrist makes a deal with the ten Kings.
- 8:25Speaker 2: You give me, let's make a little negotiation from Revelation seventeen,
- 8:30Speaker 2: and will come to agreement and I'll allow you to
- 8:32Speaker 2: rule with me for a certain period of time. But
- 8:35Speaker 2: what do you have to offer? And so they're both
- 8:36Speaker 2: going to have this exchange. And it seems very fitting
- 8:39Speaker 2: in my mind that these ten kings, because the word
- 8:43Speaker 2: basilis doesn't necessarily mean a governmental ruler, just means a
- 8:46Speaker 2: person with unusual transcendent influence. It's really very fascinating that
- 8:50Speaker 2: will Elon Musk at the time make an agreement and
- 8:54Speaker 2: be willing to share his technology along with others with
- 8:57Speaker 2: a certain figure in order to rule with him. It
- 9:00Speaker 2: seems very plausible. Again, not a prophet.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Everything that we're doing at Prophecy Watchers is vital because
- 9:07Speaker 1: Bible prophecy is coming to pass right before our eyes,
- 9:12Speaker 1: and it has never been more important for believers to
- 9:15Speaker 1: understand what the Bible says about the days that we
- 9:18Speaker 1: are living in. In case you haven't noticed, the whole
- 9:22Speaker 1: world is spinning out of control. But we are not
- 9:25Speaker 1: surprised because many of the things taking place were prophesied
- 9:30Speaker 1: in the Bible thousands of years ago. That's why we
- 9:33Speaker 1: want to offer you a very special subscription to our magazine,
