Very good article, showing how the world is preparing the way for
the Anti-Christ.

Surveillance Technology and the Coming Police State.
Rapture Ready
By Don McGee

It is not the purpose of this article to engage in debate regarding such governmental intrusions, but it is most definitely the purpose to hold up these hyper-technical monitoring capabilities to the light of Bible prophecy. And the two are most definitely connected.

It is a fact that it is impossible to explain all of what Jesus showed John in Revelation with mere technology; we simply cannot make a definitive call on some things. For example, how will fire come from the mouths of the two witnesses of Revelation 11:5? This is, no doubt, symbolism of some kind, yet the action it portrays is equally, without doubt, contextually literal. Another good example of symbolism portraying something literal is that the red dragon in chapter 12 is clearly identified as Satan. So, regarding all those prophecies whose fulfillments are not so easily understood, we must simply rest knowing God will make it all very clear when it happens.
