1 John 2:16
King James Version
16 For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
Is it wise to rely fully on online purchases of most everything?
Is it smart to go full digital?
This article was triggered by this short, eight-minute video reporting about 15,000 stores closing in America.
Brick-and-mortar stores like CVS, Walgreens, Macy's, are closing, as reported by a UK news agency.
People reason it's because there's giant Amazon, founded in 1994, which sells most everything online.
In my country, people have gone nuts over Singapore-founded Shopee, which existed since 2015.
There was a time Alibaba was hot, founded in 1999, but it seems China clipped Jack Ma's wings.
You know how billionaires momentarily disappear in China, for "re-education".
The covid crisis did it.
All this change on people's buying habits.
For, let's face it, the world is founded on "commerce".
All planned to prime, and prepare us, for the elite's greater agenda.
People were scared to go out, and get infected.
Thus, e-commerce came on strong.
Corollary industries were born.
Logistics, most of all.
How to deliver?
Vans and motorcycles.
There are more motorcycles in the Philippines now, where decades ago, I only noticed lots of them in Thailand, and India.
Now, delivery is big business.
In my city alone, there are little stores where people can pick up, and drop off goods sold online.
Buying of goods has become impersonal now.
All you need is your phone, your app, payment methods, and you're off!
People delight in receiving goods at home, no matter how tiny, or inconsequential the item may be.
It's the delight in receiving, and paying cheaply for it.
People like to shop online now.
Either people are tired, lazy, curious, excited, smart, moneyed, indifferent, or prefer to be anonymous.
Slowly, the human element
is being scrapped out of this world system.
Thing is, certain bombs can paralyze electronic systems.
Imagine how that will affect military, governments, transportation, businesses, and medical establishments.
So, why are people so addicted to electronic systems?
It won't be surprising -- after the Rapture of believers -- that the world will fully embrace what Satan has planned for them.
And that's when they'll see how wrong they were about relying on full digitalization.
By then, it's too late to back out.
Revelation 13:16-17
King James Version
16 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:
17 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.
Today, mom-and-pop stores, brick-and-mortar stores, are endangered.
But I doubt if they'll fully disappear.
They said that about "paper" before.
We still have paper.
That's why they thought of "climate change".
"Save the trees!"
Yeah, but people still wanted things "on paper".
Now, they want plastic out, and back to paper bags.
Those can't quite hold frozen stuff.
We're wasting more paper than ever.
Who's insane here?
But that's for another story.
But that's the agenda.
FULL digitalization.
FULL reliance on electronic systems.
FULL control of you, and me.
Now, it's all "convenience".
And something hip, trendy, and cool.
Something that would appeal to the young ones.
Robotics, for one.
Transhumanism, for another.
That's why the "planners", mostly the woke left, couldn't care less what gender we prefer to have for ourselves.
The stranger, the better.
After all, Satan wants humans wiped out.
He likes us steeped in sin, and perversions.
But not after, he's fished our brain, for the intelligence GOD gave us.
Oh, I tell you -- Satan is mighty jealous of JESUS, and of man.
He hates everything GOD loves.
We've told you that again, and again.
People have gone "app" crazy.
The young are especially susceptible to it.
Baby boomers have aged.
Elites want us out of the game.
Latest targets are young folks now.
In case you haven't noticed, observe how schools teach, and how kids are so hooked on their apps, and gadgets.
Here are some useful articles the HOLY SPIRIT and I wrote since 2022, to protect, and inform, the young:
Because YOU are the NEXT generation
WEF has really primed the world for this mega-change.
Founded in 1971 by German engineer, Klaus Schwab, it's all about "efficiency" and "agenda".
Engineers are known for their methodical thinking on "efficiency".
As early as the 1980s, I've known that about German engineers, and production, and I must admit I've avoided them, to a point.
I once worked for a factory in an export processing zone, and this engineer had a Taiwanese wife.
You can imagine such rigid combination regarding "efficiency".
My gentle, artist's heart got the shock of its life.
I left soon afterwards, when I saw the "assembly line".
It was definitely not for friendships, nor small talk.
Nor to enjoy the work you do.
You worked like a machine.
But that factory literally fell after the terrible 16 July 1990 earthquake -- a 7.8 one -- which devastated our city.
By that time, I was already in the big city, working for the expat community, as managing editor, and photojournalist.
As born again workman, this is what I've noticed about technology, thus, SPIRIT and I created the 55th blog then, explaining things this way.
This we wrote on 11 September 2022:
"...GOD always plucks me out, RIGHT before technology hits my studies, or work.
Seems He wanted me untarnished by trends.
For, I was to be workman, and observer, documenting the times.
And I'm here to make you aware, through Scripture, that we must only worship GOD.
We must not worship technology.
We must not worship inventors of technology.
We are not to have any other gods, but GOD.
We're all fallible humans.
We don't have the vision, and wisdom GOD has.
Wherein He knows the heart of man.
I'm no prophet.
But GOD led me to Bible prophecy three years ago.
JESUS specifically led me to look into the RAPTURE.
And He gave me many telling dreams.
Most of it can be found, written as spiritual warfare fiction, through this link.
All I do, is pay attention to everything.
The pieces of the puzzle are beginning to fit.
I merely follow the prompts SPIRIT leads me to.
Each moment.
Today, He guided me to look into technology.
Unless we are born again, guided by the SPIRIT of GOD, we won't know how to use technology for good.
Now, we have the means to destroy ourselves.
If our lives are not governed by GOD, we shall surely do that.
Let GOD govern, then!"
I could be a techie, but I choose not to be.
Sure, I understand tech, but I am not beholden to it.
As always, I've kept a wary, and watchful eye over it.
I merely obey what the LORD JESUS commanded:
Matthew 10:16
King James Version
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep
in the midst of wolves:
be ye therefore wise as serpents,
and harmless as doves.
As CHRIST's soldier, I do not want to solder.
I serve the LIVING GOD, whose WORD is TRUTH.
I follow JESUS, the Lord of Lord, and King of Kings.
There is no other GOD, but GOD.
I do not serve any other gods.
That's the greatest danger you can be in.
Use tech for convenience, but don't get carried away.
Keep a wary eye on ey-ay.
As SPIRIT and I keep reminding people:
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
JESUS did remind us:
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
Lastly, we add:
2 Corinthians 3:5
King James Version
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves
to think any thing as of ourselves;
but our sufficiency is of God;
Citizens of heaven need only look to JESUS, the SON of GOD.
In Him lies our peace, safety, security, and salvation.
Philippians 3:20-21
Christian Standard Bible
20 Our citizenship is in heaven,
and we eagerly wait for a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ.
21 He will transform
the body of our humble condition
into the likeness of his glorious body,
by the power that enables him
to subject everything to himself.
