Revelation 13:16-17 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.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Ezekiel 33 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
7 (7) So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?
27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
30 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.
31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

‘To Take Your Mind Off of the US Election, Anything Else Going on in the World?’; You’re invited: A whole new (contactless) world: The rise of digital identity, December 8th-9th 2020. ‘Mark, Number or Name.’ Thirteen (13) speakers. Six (6) event themes.
The Economist Events is delighted to invite you to join A whole new (contactless) world: The rise of digital identity. Sponsored by Onfido, this two-day virtual event brings you an intimate insight into how covid-19 is re-shaping most industries and speeding up the transition to a contactless world.
How do companies stay ahead of the technological curve in a “winner-takes-all” paradigm?
What are the opportunities and challenges in this digital-by-default world?
How do industries put into operation a mandate to “build back better” as the pandemic accelerates digital-transformation agendas?
How can the public and private sector work together for the benefit of consumers as the world becomes increasingly contactless?
These challenging questions (and more) will be tackled head-on as we delve into how various industries are reimagining themselves in this whole new contactless world.
Register today for this two-day virtual event and hear from the innovators at the forefront of changing the face of digital identity.
Six (6) ‘Events’;
Banking on the future: Financial services, reimagined
Cashless spending reigns supreme in a world where in-person transactions are restricted to prevent the spread of covid-19. This has pushed key demographics, such as the over-65s, across the digital threshold for the first time. The implications will not fade, even after the world physically reopens for business. In many emerging markets, nearly ubiquitous mobile penetration has made “leapfrogging” core to the development trajectory and e-banking normal for population segments considered unbankable elsewhere. What lessons can be learned? Has digitisation levelled the playing field, or disadvantaged those who aren’t digitally literate? In the new normal, what differentiates service providers? How can banks future-proof themselves and their customers in a time of unprecedented economic volatility?
Healthy systems: Improving access to health care
As the virus continues to outpace our public-health response, the transition to digital health care feels clunky. What are the pressure points, and how can we work together to overcome them? How can digital services, such as telehealth, come to the rescue of physical infrastructure limitations and the growing backlog of procedures? Are hard-to-reach communities the biggest benefactors of a contactless world?
Redefining entertainment in the post-covid-19 era
Lockdown made home the one-stop-shop for all activities, and businesses pivoted overnight to reach customers virtually, within the safety of their own four walls. As social-distancing measures continue and consumer confidence remains wary, short-term behaviour change looks set to outlive the pandemic. For companies willing to mix “real” and “reel”, the financial payoffs are far from imaginary. Disney Plus brought Broadway’s “Hamilton” to screens worldwide, becoming the most popular streaming platform in July. Peloton USA enjoyed a 66% sales increase in Q1, and as the Premier League restarts, Sky Sports is teaming up with EA Sports’ FIFA on virtual fan attendance. What can we learn from companies that have cracked the code to leisure and entertainment 2.0? For those that can’t go digital, what does the future hold and what trickle-down effects can we expect? Is the customer king in the digital world?
Faceless criminals: Securing data and privacy
As the world moved online, malicious actors were quick to find novel ways to profit from the pandemic. The threat landscape is becoming more and more sophisticated. In a contactless, post-covid-19 paradigm, how do we allay public concerns around safety as people’s identities are transformed from real to virtual?
Voting for progress: The future of digital democracy
Covid-19 laid bare the vulnerability of brick-and-mortar service provision and renewed global pledges to prioritise e-government. The touted benefits include better accessibility, transparency and efficiency. This resonates strongly in societies where the pandemic has exacerbated low levels of trust in government. Estonia—where 99% of government services are available online, including voting—holds first place in the United Nations E-Government Development Index. What has the country’s experience been, especially regarding voter fraud and election-rigging? In January 2020 Microsoft announced it would open a “representation to the UN”, but has Big Tech proved itself able to work effectively with politicians? Are privacy and security concerns the biggest barriers to e-government? And how can inefficient bureaucracy be modernised without losing the human touch? (MbS + Bill Gates + Tim Cook + Others)
Taking flight: The future of travel
At the height of the pandemic, travel was brought to a standstill. Today recovery is government-led, slow and patchy—and unlikely to return to pre-crisis levels any time before 2024. The economic consequences of this are far-reaching: in 2019 tourism made up 10% of global GDP. As people stay put, companies are finding innovative ways to meet pent-up demand, whether it be the “Flight to Nowhere” movement or the Google Arts Project, which teleports viewers into the Louvre, Rijksmuseum or MoMA. Is now when virtual-reality travel, with its “green lining”, will take off? Does covid-19 spell the end of affordable travel, and who will foot the bill for the customer’s need for flexibility and money-back guarantees? Where does the onus for applying new hygiene and safety standards lie? And how will airport facial-recognition tools and other technology be updated for the face-mask era?
Night Watchman Note; We are to ‘be watchful’ (October 31, 2020 to November 7, 2020) in helping to understand today’s events as related to biblical prophecy. That is what ‘watchmen or women’ do. Jesus made clear that when He actually does come for His disciples, His wise and faithful servants would be aware of the time because they would be watching. They would know the season of the times by WATCHING those things ‘coming to pass or occurring’ as Jesus said they would. The ‘BENCHMARK SIGN(s)’ always point towards Israel / Jacob. God’s prophetic timepiece. The FALSE PEACE COVENANT confirmed by the Prince/Beast among MENA (the many) is the ‘key sign’ of the times or the season of the times. Yes, we are in that period. The Prince/Beast will likely confirm and enhance the current ‘normalization’ agreement with Jacob to be a ‘peace’ agreement, to be extended to 7 years from the current 5 years, to include some agreement permitting the rebuilding of the third temple in exchange for ‘some portion of Jerusalem.’ The current ‘investment’ period for the Palestinians stands at five (5) years. This will likely occur AFTER the Bride, Disciples or True Church is removed from the earth via the Rapture / Harpazo / Redemption / ‘Twinkling’.
