Prediction...

[Dennis1209]

You don't necessarily need to be a prophet to predict something obvious. I'm going to stick my neck out here to be chopped off. But first, let me ask two questions? (1) Who now owns and controls the Internet? (2) Who sold their controlling portion of it, and to who and why?

We now see the total control of all major media news and publication's, and all major social media sites, without any controls or restrictions. They suspend your accounts and activity for political purposes and their global agendas. All without even offering a reason for it, unless you're lucky, and they say it's a violation of terms of service. If they can ban a sitting US. President for bogus charges, what's your status? 

Their targets are blatantly obvious; Christian's, conservatives, patriots, first and second Amendments rights advocates, etc. So, what's next?

Control of the content and searches of the Internet. Google and Edge is already tinkering with the desired search results they want. Christian hate speech, the Bible, conservative viewpoints, 2nd Amendment issues and much more will be redacted from and prohibited on the Internet. 

Whether you know it or not, artificial intelligence (AI), is about to take control of our daily lives and activities. The only way one person [Antichrist] could possible control all buying and selling, monitor every human on the planet, and control the globe; is through the use of artificial intelligence. No army of people, or banks of computers, could make instantaneous decisions of who's who.

Christian websites like Worthy will not exist, because they are not all inclusive, intolerant, filled with biblical hate speech. The Biden official label for us now is, "domestic terrorists." One step above a "basket of deplorables."

I predict, in just a couple or few years, Christian and pro America websites will be removed from the Internet and all content regulated and controlled. Just as social media and the "press" has morphed into. 

Any disagreements?

how about 30+ million fallen angels that will soon be kicked out of the heavenly realm.

https://www.neverthirsty.org/bible-qa/qa-archives/question/how-many-angels-are-there/

In both passages we are told that the number of angels that have been created is too large to count. There are “myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands” of angels. The Greek word for “myriads” can be translated as tens of thousand (10,000). This would mean that there are more than 100 million (100,000,000) angels. That is a lot of angels.

 

It is said that Satan took a third of the angels with him and Revelation tells us that shortly there will be war in the heavens and Michael will kick them all down here.

Thus it is my personal thoughts that the great deception will be those fallen angels and the devil will have a front as ET's come here to save us from ourselves.

And that is "A" gospel according to OO.   Not to be confused with "THE" Gospel, please.

@Dennis1209

I understand your trying to generate some conversation on this.

For me, I know that God is in control of all things, and there could be so many things to be concerned about, or even become afraid or anxious about, but for me, I just don't worry or even think about these kind of things.

I take care of what God has given me to do, and I leave these kind of things you mention, and others will mention, to God.

Peace is a wonderful thing to experience.

Romans 14:8 says, "If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord."

That says it all for me!!!

My life story is one of conflict between the two kingdoms, the light and the dark.

We had a river near the rural vicarage I resided at from 1968 to 1973 as a teenager. During this time I experienced an altered state of reality in which I saw two armies, one on one side of this river whose combatants appeared to be clothed in white light, and one on the other side of the river whose combatants were like the darkest of black shadows. 

I understand the river to symbolise my life and the armies each prepared to fight for control of it.

Paul in Ephesians 6 speaks of this conflict, and I have indeed struggled against ethereal principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness, and against the host of spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. It doesn't matter whether they are denied access to the celestial heaven, their chief is called the prince of the power of the air or atmosphere and his agenda has always been the same. 

Satan wants and desires and strives to achieve three evils, as follows in easy to remember alphabetical order:

1.      Corruption

2.      Deception

3.      Exploitation

Satan wants to Corrupt, Deceive, and Exploit everyone and everything, and we see his either doing this, or attempting to do this, not only throughout the Bible but throughout history, and in modern media reports. 

 1Pe 5:8-9

(8)  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:

(9)  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 

Rev 12:12

(12)  Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.

Satan has a limited time, he can only rage for an age, so to speak, and he does this in four ways that are easy to remember when viewed like this ~

1. Camouflage 2 Cor 11:14 "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
2. Espionage Gal 2:4 "false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus,"
3. Sabotage 2 Cor 11:13 "so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
4. Bondage 2 Tim 2:6 "recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."

Who Controls The Internet? US Government Hands Over Control To ICANN    By Susmita Baral

Since the dawn of the Internet, the world wide web has been controlled by the U.S. government’s Commerce Department. As of Saturday, Oct 1, 2016, the American government is no longer in charge despite the efforts of conservative lawmakers.

Instead, an almost 20-year-old California-based "multi-stakeholder" nonprofit, called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICAN N), is in control.

ICANN was created by the Department of Commerce in 1998 and was given a government contract to manage the Internet. The long term government goal in creating ICANN—which is made up of governments around the globe, corporations and individual Internet users—was to eventually give the multinational organization full ownership of domain name systems.

A domain name system (DNS) on the Internet ensures a specific URL leads to the correct servers and pulls up a specific website. The information (names, numbers, etc) that allows the DNS to do its job is saved in one major file known as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

Since ICANN’s creation, it has been overseeing how web addresses on the Internet are passed out and has been regulating the IANA. Now, it formally owns the IANA.

"Ultimately, the transfer of IANA to ICANN is more of a formality than a real change of policy. But it’s an important formality," wrote Wired. "The fact that the U.S. government had the final say over the domain name system never sat well with the rest of the world, especially after 2013 when Edward Snowden revealed the scope of U.S. Internet surveillance. Severing that last tie to the US will allow foreign governments and companies to have confidence that the Internet is outside of the U.S.’ control."

Politicians who opposed the handover—the quest to keep the technical management of the Internet in U.S. control is led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has previously called the handover a “giveaway of our Internet freedom”—argue that online freedom is in jeopardy and allege that authoritarian governments who are members of ICANN can inhibit freedom of speech on the Internet. According to Cruz, “foreign governments and global corporations will have an increased voice within ICANN moving forward,” which can allow them to censor speech.

ICANN begs to differ, arguing that the U.S. government never had the ability to control speech and no other nation will gain such power.

“The U.S. government has never, and has never had the ability to, set the direction of the community’s policy development work based on First Amendment ideas,” said ICANN in a statement. “Yet that is exactly what Senator Cruz is suggesting. The U.S. government has no decreased role. Other governments have no increased role. There is simply no change to governmental involvement in policy development work in ICANN.”

Those in favor—the likes of tech companies, experts and academics—maintain that keeping the Internet global and an open space requires having open dialogue between nations around the world and it is essential to have multiple countries involved in the management. ICANN includes a Government Advisory Committee, which has representation from 111 states around the world, including 108 UN members and the Holy See, the Cook Islands and Taiwan.

I don't disagree at all.  All of these things are happening in an accelerated fashion right now.  AI is a serious threat.  We are on or in the leading edge of the last days.  Once these things begin, the accelerated pace will bring the world to it's knees in a short 7 year span.

I completely agree, the Lord is in full control. We are also to be watchmen, know the signs of the time, know the season we are living in. We're not to be ignorant or deceived. As you see the day approaching, are we seeing it?. Watch therefore:

Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

[Alive]

Rom. 8:37 (NAS20S)   But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

B-I-N-G-O  When I try to communicate my thoughts for a discussion, it's best to ask questions knowing the answers first, to support ones observations and assumptions. I didn't think anyone was aware of the ownership and control facts of the Internet, you surprised me. 

In everything critical for the survival of our nation and freedom, the government has given away the farm [in my opinion]. Even with secular thought, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the next step of total global control. The coming Antichrist will have total control of everything.

Daniel 12:4 (KJV) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Besides the obvious; fast mass transit; traffic jams; our knowledge doubling every couple of weeks; computers; artificial intelligence (AI), etc. I believe this verse is speaking about our day, the book of Daniel has been unsealed. This world has turned crazy and upside down, calling good evil, and evil good, on and on... How many people have we talked to, that have said or thought, "what in the world is going on. Things are not right, something is happening?" Many are turning, and many more will turn to the Bible, flipping chapters and pages in Isiah, Daniel, Revelation, etc. searching for answers. And their biblical and prophetic knowledge shall be increased, and they will understand. 

Closely associated with my train of thought with predictions, are the "Ten Kings." We are now seeing the who, what and where of prophetic scripture aligning and taking shape. Dozens of examples could be cited, but for brevity, I'll just cite one. I'll omit the histories of Iran and Turkey being friends and allies of Israel. The Shaw of Iran coming to the aid of Israel in the 1967 Israeli war. Israeli's taking their vacations in Turkey. Saudi Arabia a staunch enemy of Israel, and how in a short historical period things have reversed. Just like the word of God says for the end-times.

We plainly see the formation, alignment, geography and players for the coming Ezekiel 38: - 39: invasion of Israel [Gog-Magog]. The mutual defense treaties are almost there [save Libya civil war, but Russia is involved there]. We see Russia's "hook in the jaw." Israel's prosperity, wealth, technology, intelligence, advanced irrigation, desalination; and now the biggie. The Goliath natural gas and oil fields; the pipeline to Greece and selling to Europe. Russia had great influence in political decisions of European countries, or they would cutoff the heating fuel, not anymore. Russia's major export and economic engine is fossil fuel.

We see all the other nations invading Israel are Muslim nations that hate Israel, and their motivation and economy falling apart.

That was the long way to get to the "Ten Kings." Who or what could the Ten Kings be? The most popular historical thought has been, the leaders of ten European nations. Still very well could be, and I don't discount it. A second view is; ten global economic trading zones. The United Nations has divided the globe into ten economic trading zones. Naturally, there would have to be a leader [or king], over each of them. These Ten Kings arrive on the scene sometime prior to the introduction of the Antichrist. Again it is obvious, these Ten Kings have control of something the Antichrist desperately needs control of. 

What about a third possibility I personally see shaping up? How many rich liberal billionaires own all of the leading liberal news media [CNN; MSNBC; ABC; NBC; Yahoo; Google; on and on]? How many wealthy people own all the popular social media sites; to include YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. These big conglomerates and empires are constantly consolidating and merging. What about a United Nations agenda that is enacted, with a global 15% environmental emissions tax on corporations to support it [could support a military also]; with a minister [king] over each of them: Global voice and internet communications; transportation, land, sea, air travel; banking; global trade; the environment; technology; to name some examples. Does that seem preposterous, given what we are seeing today. In addition to the UN. Agenda 2021, Agenda 2030 and all the other outrageous agendas the UN has in your face openly published, for your viewing pleasure on their websites. 

It could also be some sort of combination of all the above. We are now seeing monitoring of what we can say and do, with penalties going against the status quo. We are seeing the wealthy and powerful people and governments behind them and financing it. The enforcement of the politically correct is coming via private corporations, at their financial detriment and profit. Why? They are pushing their agenda against the will of the majority. How does such a small minority control the majority?

As an aside; I just received a new change in Amazons terms of service and privacy policy in my email. Any of you get it and read it? It reeks of a New World Order and no privacy expectations. I encourage you to read it. Ah, I was going to post the link, but evidently deleted it, as I can't do anything about it anyway. 

That's my observations and thoughts, what's yours?
