'Last' 'Latter' 'End of' Days

The COMING (7) MARK OF THE BEAST OR MAN-BY-SATAN (MBS); How AI-enhanced identification is endangering civil society in the Middle East. “The use of digital biometric identification — recognizing people by their unique features — is growing in the Middle East. It can enhance security, but also presents a worrying opportunity for repression by authoritarian states.”  “Saudi Arabia has gathered biometric information as part of citizenship registration that allows locals to access state services.”

The Book (7) of Daniel and The Book of Revelation. ‘Bookends’ (7) Regarding Prophecy of the ‘End-Times’, Tribulation. Revelation 10:7 But in the (7) days of the voice of the seventh (7) angel, when he shall begin to sound, (7) the mystery of God should be finished, as he (7) hath declared to his servants the prophets. ‘10’ is the biblical number for ‘completeness on earth’. ‘7’ is the biblical number for (7) divine completeness to God’s plan or purpose.

Ten ‘10’ Denotes God’s divine ‘COMPLETENESS’ as to things on EARTH. In Revelation 10, he is opening up the ancient scrolls and ‘little book’ of prophecy that Daniel was told to ‘SEAL UP’ and not write of what was spoken. He was prophetically being told additional things that would transpire or occur ‘in the end of days’ and during the 7 year tribulation.

Daniel 12:4 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.

Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the ‘time of the end’.

‘Time of the End’:

Revelation ‘10’ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a ‘little book open’(NWN; Daniels ‘little book’ is now being opened by God’s Great Angel of Prophecy) and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven ‘7’ thunders uttered their voices.

(NWN; I ‘discern’ that these are seven ‘7’ other great prophecy angels who are ‘confirming’ that NOW IS THE TIME to OPEN DANIEL’S ‘END TIME’ Book of Future Prophecy.’)

4 And when the seven ‘7’ thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven ‘7’ thunders uttered, and write them not.

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, ‘7’ that there should be time no longer:

(NWN; The Great Prophecy Angel is proclaiming the ‘LAST DAYS or END TIMES’ have come, in no uncertain terms, and that NOW IS THE TIME to reveal prophecy related TO the Last Days or End Times and Tribulation.)

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh ‘7’ angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

(NWN; Seven ‘7’ denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for this ‘7th’ prophecy angel to commence and complete prophecy related to the Last Days and End Times. Think of the Great Prophecy Angel as a ‘General’ and the ‘7th’ prophecy angel as a Major or Colonel or someone of rank who has been given authority to physically ‘begin something or start something.’)

8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open (NWN; notice that the ‘little book’ is OPEN) in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

(NWN; the prophecy angel(s) are HANDING the little book to physically alive men on the earth. In essence, they are handing or ‘transferring’ the ‘little book of prophecy’ to physical men ALIVE on the EARTH during the ‘End Times’ or ‘Last Days.’ God conveys prophecy to Angels who in turn are ‘messengers’ of God’s prophecy to mortal men alive. Angels, throughout the past 6,000 years have been ‘messengers’ for God to mankind.)

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

(NWN; this is a ‘discernment’ on my part. ‘Take it and eat it’ is a spiritual ‘consumption’ of understanding the End Times and God’s related prophecies to go along with ‘signs of the times.’ It takes ‘7’ knowledge, wisdom, obedience, humility, persistence, prayer and the Holy Spirit’ to work prophecy in man’kind. This is a great and wonderful thing, just like a ‘7’ course meal. However, once the prophecies are apparent ‘consumed and understood’ they will be prone to make one sick to the stomach because of what they foretell. Just like eating a ’7’ course meal will likely make you feel like you could explode. God’s UNFILTERD WRATH poured on evil man’kind who refuse Him, and refuse His Son Jesus Christ and His eternal offer of salvation. Seeing prophecy happen and unfold is a wonderful and miraculous thing. Understanding the implications of seeing prophecy unfold, leaves one’s stomach bitter and sour because of the ‘gastrointestinal storm’ that is coming. Pass-the-antacid-pills, please.)

10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

(NWN; the prophecy angel was prophesying what would happen to anyone who attempted to reveal what was in the ‘little book.’ This verse ‘confirms’ that what was prophesied, did in fact occur and was experienced by those given the task of being Watchmen. This also ‘suggests’ that some men are ‘willingly’ allowing themselves to be Watchmen because they consciously love prophecy (God’s Word) and are completely open and receptive to it.)

11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

 (NWN; since this is verse ‘11’ it suggests a WARNING(S). The purpose of prophecy is to inform, proclaim and WARN. It suggests that the Watchmen who proclaim the Word of God, will have their ‘7’ words, letters, videos, blogs, sermons, articles and books proclaim God’s WILL to those during the End Times / Last Days and Tribulation period. God has ALWAYS used Holy Angels and physical men (Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Enoch, and others) to speak on behalf of God. He will do this also through the Tribulation via; 1. Prophecy revealed to mankind via his ‘little book’ to Watchmen, 2. The ‘two witnesses’, ‘lampstands’ or candles who proclaims God’s light to the world for the first 3.5 years of the tribulation, 3. The various Angel warnings given to men to NOT TAKE THE MARK of the BEAST and lastly, 4. The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists who have the ‘seal of God’ in their foreheads (and NOT the mark of the Beast) who proclaim Jesus Christ’s offer of Salvation ONE LAST TIME, before the 7 year tribulation ends.)

Acts 2:17-21 ‘And it shall ‘7’  come to pass in ‘the last days’, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. …

Daniel 1:17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Joel 2:28 “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.

Acts 2:17 ‘And it shall come to pass in ‘the last days’, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

The COMING (7) MARK OF THE BEAST OR MAN-BY-SATAN (MBS); How AI-enhanced identification is endangering civil society in the Middle East. “The use of digital biometric identification — recognizing people by their unique features — is growing in the Middle East. It can enhance security, but also presents a worrying opportunity for repression by authoritarian states.”  “Saudi Arabia has gathered biometric information as part of citizenship registration that allows locals to access state services.”

In May this year, Khalaf al-Romaithi flew from Turkey to Jordan to look for a new school for his son. But the Emirati dissident was detained there because of his eyes. Or, to be more exact, because of the biometric information his eyes held.

The 58-year-old had been travelling on a Turkish passport, but a scan of his irises at Amman’s airport indicated he was the same Khalaf al-Romaithi previously sentenced to 15 years prison in the United Arab Emirates. That was as part of a mass trial of 94 critics of the UAE leadership in 2013, that human rights organizations have condemned as politically motivated.

“He was detained in Amman after an iris scan,” confirmed Hamad al-Shamsi, director of the Emirates Detainees Advocacy Center, a nonprofit organization helping prisoners of conscience in UAE prisons. But, he adds, nobody is sure how the Jordanians got al-Romaithi’s biometric data. It’s possible the information was given to them by the UAE, he suggested.

Neither Jordanian nor Emirati representatives in Germany answered DW’s requests for comment about the matter.

Worrying signs

The al-Romaithi case is a worrying portent when it comes to how personal biometric information is being used in the Middle East, explained Yana Gorokhovskaia of the US-based democracy watchdog Freedom House.

“We are very concerned about the increasing use of biometric technology to enable closer cooperation between repressive governments, something we have seen in the Middle East and also in central Asia,” she told DW.

Biometric information includes any unique markers that identify a person. Some aspects are not new: After all, it includes fingerprints, something police have been working with since the late 19th century. It also includes genetic material, or DNA, which has been used in criminal investigations since the late 1980s.

But today, biometric information is much more varied and includes everything from your palm prints, to the shape of your face and scans of your irises, to the look of your earlobes and even the way you breathe and walk. In the future, biometric information may also include the way you type, the way you sign your name, and voice and gesture recognition.

Of course, using biometric information to identify people isn’t necessarily negative.

Many people are already familiar with what’s known as biometric verification. This matches your unique data, like your fingerprints or irises, with data you’ve already supplied. It’s called one-to-one verification. A common example is unlocking your mobile phone with a fingerprint scan.

The other use of this kind of data is called remote biometric identification, or RBI. This involves having software compare your unique features with a large database of many others’ features. This is called one-to-many identification. It’s the kind of thing one might see in a spy movie, where a roving digital camera spots the culprit in a crowd, having matched the person’s eyes, earlobes, even their gait, and assumed that this is the individual they’re looking for.

More dangerous, thanks to AI

It’s RBI that worries human rights experts, especially as it is used in conjunction with advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, or AI.

It has to do with the way the technology has developed over the last few years, said Ella Jakubowska, a senior policy advisor at the Brussels-based European Digital Rights network, or EDRi, who leads the group’s work on facial recognition and biometrics.

“There are a couple of things that do seem like a real step change,” she noted. “One would be the number of different ways that you can identify and track a person. The other would be that the software’s potential to recognize patterns has increased exponentially over the past five or so years. Now, you can not only identify someone based on a picture, but also know the pattern of their legs and feet as they walk.”

“These developments have lowered barriers; it’s faster and cheaper than ever to have mass data storage and process it. All that adds up to the potential to be able to recognize a lot of people very quickly, at scale,” she warned. “Which expands the potential for arbitrary mass surveillance.”

This is the dark side to modern biometric identification, something that could become a bigger problem in authoritarian regimes such as those found in the Middle East.

“The widespread use of biometric ID systems, in conjunction with weak privacy laws and generally weak rule of law and human rights protections, opens the door to authoritarian abuses, which AI tools will likely aggravate,” the authors of a 2022 policy study looking at artificial intelligence in the Middle East, published by the European Institute of the Mediterranean, confirmed.

Digital transformation underway

Wealthier nations in the region, such as the Gulf states, are already enthusiastic about biometric identification. “These technologies are central as the region — especially the Gulf countries — undergoes digital transformation,” Mohammed Soliman, director of the strategic technologies and cyber security program at the Washington-based Middle East Institute, told DW.

Currently, almost all countries in the Middle East use biometric information for immigration purposes at airports and borders.

Recent success stories from Dubai saw airport law enforcement boasting about how they caught a fraudster, who’d used fake credit cards while in disguise by checking the shape of his ears. In another case, they arrested a man wearing a full-length women’s gown and face veil because of the way he walked and his body measurements.

Some countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have gathered biometric information as part of citizenship registration that allows locals to access state services. Others, like Iraq and Yemen, have previously collected it for voter registration.

But all that information could also be used in a different, more malicious way, experts argue.

“Any government could amass a database of the biometrics of their entire population and allow that to be used with CCTV footage around a whole city,” the EDRi’s Jakubowska said. “Then you’ve got a live picture of the most intimate parts of people’s lives. You can see who has met with a journalist, who has gone to a queer bar, who has fraternised with a political opponent or a dissident — and that can be very dangerous.”

Paul Rolland | Night Watchman | Night Watchman Ministries | (5) MbS Beheads The Tribulation Saints

Amba Kak, the director of the New York-based AI Now Institute, agreed that the technology can enable governments’ power over their citizens.

“These systems enable mass surveillance of a kind that seriously shifts the balance of power between those that surveil and those that are watched, with serious chilling effects on political and private lives of citizens,” she said.

Can it be stopped?

So how can this be prevented in the Middle East, where authoritarian regimes may not be misusing biometric information in an obvious way quite yet — but where they clearly have a vested interest in social control?

“There’s very much this idea that processing people’s biometric data is useful and beneficial,” Jakubowska argued. “But actually, this data is so sensitive — it’s not like a password that can be reset, it will identify you throughout your life — that we will always start with asking whether we really need to do this?”

The European Union is currently debating what will likely be the world’s first law on artificial intelligence. Rules on how biometric information should be used, and whether it should be used at all, are likely to be one of the most contentious subjects.

“What I really worry about is that if the EU says that there are legitimate use cases for these technologies, that we are legitimizing it for other countries,” said Jakubowska, who would like to see the EU take a tougher line. “There’s definitely power in a whole jurisdiction saying, ‘we don’t think this thing is acceptable’.”

The AI Now Institute wants a complete ban on remote biometric identification, Kak added.

“Nothing else makes sense,” she told DW, adding that privacy laws and other rules won’t help. “And not just in the Middle East, but here in the US and in Europe too. The problems with these systems aren’t magically fixed in Western liberal democracies — even though the dystopia of what can go wrong is often immediately palpable under authoritarian regimes.”

Make Your Decision for Christ NOW!!!!!!! Time is Up!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).

True Church / Bride of Christ Spared from God’s Wrath:

 Romans 5:8-10. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

Romans 12:19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Jeremiah 30:7. Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
