Current Events-Mark of the beast

Passwords are dead, according to google exec....

Although Adkins didn't offer any real specifics on how Google will innovate beyond today's security, she did say the company is experimenting with hardware-based tokens as well as a Motorola-created system that authenticates users by having them touch a device to something embedded, or held, in their own clothing. "A hacker can't steal that from you," she said.

No matter how you spin it, one of the appealing points for an "embedded" or implantable device is just that...it can't be stolen. This would reduce the rate of crime, which is also another appealing point. And all in the name of....SECURITY! And when there is security, there is PEACE!

Current Events-Damascus

So all someone has to do is schedule an interview with the guy ? I thought he was supposed to be the world's number#1 enemy...

Does the mainstream even care anymore if some people actually ponder the events articled? Or is the mainstream betting that people are so far gone, hypnotized, distracted, oblivious, etc...that logic or even reason no longer exists?

And the Assad kid doesn't really look shook based on that photo...

What is going on? Maybe Assad knows something the mainstream won't tell us....?

Current Events-Babylonian economy

USAToday asks....Can a financial crisis happen again?

Such hypothesis is borderline comical.

Some are pointing to Old Testament passages that predict the destruction of Damascus and a civil war in Egypt.

 Isaiah 17:1

[ A Prophecy Against Damascus ] A prophecy against Damascus: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

 

26. Jeremiah 49:23
    [ A Message About Damascus ] Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled like the restless sea.
    Jeremiah 49:22-24 (in Context) Jeremiah 49 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
27. Jeremiah 49:24
    Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee and panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her, pain like that of a woman in labor.
    Jeremiah 49:23-25 (in Context) Jeremiah 49 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
28. Jeremiah 49:27
    “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.”
     
    26. Amos 1:3
        [ Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors ] This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Damascus, even for four, I will not relent. Because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth,

    27. Amos 1:5
        I will break down the gate of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,” says the Lord
         
        Zechariah 9:1

        [ Judgment on Israel’s Enemies ] A prophecy: The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak and will come to rest on Damascus— for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord—

         

        Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos and Zechariah had words against Damascus. It would be interesting to see if all four were living at the same time...
