DRONES AND PROPHECY
Throughout centuries people have had a difficult time
interpreting prophecies, especially some of those outlined in the Book of
Revelation. Some scholars have declared the outrageous descriptions metaphoric
in nature, while others have drawn caricatures of exact medieval descriptions.
John the Revelator saw technological advances which defied the
vocabulary of his day. He described his heavenly visions in the best way he
could, so we need to put advanced imagery on his visions in order to fully
appreciate what he saw. He was, in fact, speaking of the latter days, so why shouldn't the images be futuristic?
John wrote in about 70 AD,
“And the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fall from heaven
unto the earth and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he
opened the bottomless pit and there arose smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of
a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke
of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth and unto
them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was
commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any
green thing, neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of
God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill
them, but that they should be tormented five months, and their torment was as
the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man. And in those days shall men
seek death, but shall not find it, and shall desire to die, but death shall
flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared to
battle and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold and their faces were
as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women and their teeth
were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates
of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many
horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions and there were
stings in their tails and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had
a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon”
Revelation 9:1-11.
The entire description of these “locusts” appears to be purely
fiction. However, if we take into consideration what is being created today, we
can develop a more realistic picture in our minds of what will soon come to pass.
Drones can be created to look like just about anything
imaginable, whereas in John’s day, something that appeared to fly in this
manner would have been described as a “locust,” with a “breastplates of iron.”
Again, he used First Century vocabulary, and "drone" wasn’t included.
If we consider the drone above, which appears in the
shape of a
beetle of sorts, which flies, and if we imagine trying to describe it
during the First Century, how would we do that? Since locusts fly and
they certainly used iron in those days, we might also have described it
as a "locust with a breastplate of iron."
If you created drones today for military and police, with
crowd control in mind, wouldn't you also give it a fierce-looking
appearance and give it a weapon of choice, which just so happens to be
tazers today.
These drone type weapons will be used in the future to
control populations and administer tormenting “stings,” or tazer strikes
if you
will.

The drone shown above is called “CUPID,”
which delivers an 80,000-volt zap, which is a mighty tormenting "sting!"
The creators of this weapon obviously have police and military use in
mind. If you watch the video at the top of this page during the first
week of May 2014, or on YouTube, it is understandable to imagine that the sound of many of these drones moving through the air could sound like "horses running to battle," if that is the only comparison you had.
There is soon coming a day when people will not be fighting or
challenging police officers or troops, they will be up against machines, which cannot as easily be challenged; so they will provide an extremely difficult situation for the lawless, or even those
who would like to assert their Constitutional rights, which will no longer
exist – under the likes of Barack Hussein Obama and their Socialist cronies.
Bear in mind that Revelation 9:4 clearly tells us that those
with the seal of God upon their foreheads cannot be harmed by these – made to
look terrifying – tormenting drones.
Now, with 21st Century technology, it is much easier to understand
what scholars once thought were metaphors.
God still requires faith on your part to believe that those with
His seal will not be harmed.
Will you believe God? Whose side are you on? God’s, or satan’s? Will you be protected,
or not? Jesus said,
“He who says, I know Him, but keeps not His commandments, is a
liar and the truth is not in him” 1 John 2:4.
What I mean to say is, Are you a believer and follower of
Christ
and under His "wings" of protection? I pray so, because the world is
soon going to
learn just how real and powerful God truly is. Hundreds of Bible
prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining will most certainly
come to pass.
Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the
life you have lived on this earth? If not, salvation is only a prayer away.

depends on it. God bless you.
