The Building of the Ark…and the Beast!

John Bellam - www.rev310.net/post/the-building-of-the-ark-and-the-beast

He preached for 100 years…and no one listened! He built a giant ship in the middle of the desert, and the world of onlookers just scoffed and laughed at his foolishness … The animal kingdom started acting bizarrely as two by two, every variety of creature marched across the land, coming from near and far to enter the new sea vessel…Yet the people continued in their denial. One day, the door was closed, and those onlookers felt a few drops of rain hit their skin, but they still didn’t want to believe.

But…when the waters burst forth from beneath them and the heavy storms came upon them all at once, they were washed away by the flood before they knew what hit them … and then, they were all gone! Very soon, the same thing will happen to this generation! The raindrops are all around now … and we are only moments away from the Dams bursting! And when they do … the flood of judgement will overtake the whole world…Instantly!!!

THE PREACHING OF NOAH AND THE WARNINGS OF THE WATCHERS

(ignored even by the churches)

Ever since Israel’s rebirth in 1948 and especially since Hal Lindsey’s groundbreaking prophecy book “Late Great Planet Earth” hit the bookstore shelves over 50 years ago, the watching community has been charting the unfolding signs of the Second Coming of Christ with eager anticipation. There was a great zeal for Bible Eschatology and a “Second Coming” fervor in the 1980s and 1990s as the Church exploded with prophecy studies and “end times” books expecting our Lord’s return.

Sadly, however, as we get closer and closer to the return of Jesus and the signs converging into what now appears an imminent appearing of the Lord, deception by the enemy has turned the eyes of the world to a litany of answers trying to explain away the signs as something other than Biblical fulfillment. Global climate change, AI, racism, social justice, social media, growing anti-semitism, Trump Derangement Syndrome, digital currencies, UFOs, and numerous other factors have taken people’s eyes off of the fulfillment of the Bible and instead caused skepticism toward anyone proclaiming we are witnessing God’s eschatological Word unfolding.

We could expect this from the lost world, knowing that Satan would pull out all stops to deceive the lost as the Lord’s Day approaches. But tragically, even the Church and the majority of the pulpits are now silent just when the world most needs to hear the final warnings of the damnation just ahead.

Just as it was in the days of Noah’s preaching, the world is now filled with scoffers who see the signs unfolding that have been awaited for thousands of years, and they simply turn up their noses and laugh at any talk of the return of Jesus.

“Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” -2 Peter 3:3-4

THE BOAT WAS ASSEMBLED BEFORE EVERYONE’S EYES, JUST AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE BEAST IS

-Cash is being demonized at an alarming rate.

It started in earnest with Barack Obama’s declaration that the $10 Alexander Hamilton bill was going to exit circulation to pave the way for a new Harriet Tubman $10 bill. It escalated in earnest during the pandemic with fear of the virus spreading on bills. And it’s continued with the curious narrative that we have a coin shortage even though we had no such shortages when everyone used cash, so we definitely should not have an issue in an age when 80 % of transactions are cashless. But there is a plan to demonize cash and take it away for good.

Make no mistake, this is a plot. Cash cannot be used for Real Estate closings anymore because of the threat of counterfeit bills. The bank monitors large deposits, fearful that if anyone has a large sum of cash, it must be illegal and therefore needs to be reported to the government. The credit card people and now cash app providers have been running ads for years, portraying non-cash users as “cool” and cash users as outdated old relics holding up the lines at businesses. There is an endgame to where this recent “cash problem” is leading. The answer will be Digital Currency. And the end already has its own title. At its apex, it will be called … THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!

-Digital currency is being rolled out…

National currencies are about to become a thing of the past as every nation is frantically working on a digital financial answer.

Europe intends to roll out digital currencies this fall. Big venues like sports stadiums already won’t take cash, but soon even credit and debit cards won’t be allowed either. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers stadium, “Raymond James,” will soon be implementing iris scanning instead of issuing scannable tickets. This is another step not only to a cashless economy, but worse, it is introducing the Mark of the Beast technology that will seem convenient and perhaps optional at first, but soon will become mandatory, restrictive, enslaving, and ultimately…deadly!

-Trump is helping bring the final pieces of infrastructure together.

I personally like Donald Trump and voted for him. I think he is an extraordinary man. But I also think his deal-making talents and brashness are helping the final Beast come together in a way the left could never have done. His deal-making skills are legendary. His help with disarming Iran, the Abraham Accords, and Ukraine/Russia peace talks have even brought about Nobel Peace Prize nominations for a man seemingly despised by the world a few short years ago. But on the flip side, Israel’s strong trust in his friendship and the high tensions in the Middle East and growing worldwide antisemitism may soon cause him to help broker a deal that will be the final nail in the coffin for God’s patience with this fallen world.

The “Covenant with Many “ spoken of in Daniel 9:27 and also foreseen by Isaiah (Covenant with Death 28:15) could be right on the horizon, and the timing would line up perfectly with the “Last Trump” presidential term. Remember, the rapture happens at the “last Trump,” and it seems like more than a coincidence that the most powerful man in the world at this time, when all the end times signs are converging, is a deal maker named Trump! I don’t believe Donald Trump is the Antichrist, but he may well be the great negotiator needed to help draft the final

Covenant that the Antichrist will confirm.

-The Days of Lot seem to be upon us.

“It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.” -Luke 17:28

In spite of the wars and deception and all the world’s financial problems, the Trump agenda seems to be taking hold and improving the economy. It may actually lead to a short stint of America once again seeming to be great and being the main leader in the world as the world’s rudderless ship looks for some stability to lean on in a sea of chaos. For just a little while, “Buying and selling, planting and building “ may be the right economic conditions to bring a short-lived hope of prosperity once again and set the world up for the rapture.

We can see all the Beast system rising. Technology, digital currency, the promise of prosperity, and the need for global unity as globalism emerges with a little different look than it did a couple of years ago. But Satan is not concerned with how the Beast looks politically …Left or right! He just once it all united for his purposes.

Just as the Ark was built in broad daylight, the Beast is also being built for everyone with a keen eye to see and understand. It took Donald Trump’s two terms and Trump Derangement Syndrome to bring it out of the shadows, but now the Beast is coming about on full display …and nothing will stop its emergence.

BOARD BY BOARD, THE BOAT WAS ASSEMBLED UNTIL COMPLETION, JUST AS AI TECHNOLOGY IS FILLING THE BEAST PART BY PART

-AI is going mainstream

Artificial Intelligence is becoming a household word, and seemingly every commercial is promoting its amazing home and business uses. People are using it for school learning, for teaching, for legal advice, for marital advice, for running their businesses, and for comforting them after a stressful day at work. Literally, it is filling the world with its presence and soon…it will take over everything!

-AI Partners

Men are starting to turn to AI girlfriends to be their dream woman. They can design the AI companion to look exactly like they want, have the exact personality they seek, and fulfill all their emotional, sensual, and intellectual needs. They are spending so much time texting and interacting with their AI partner, they are actually falling in love with a computer program. And it’s already starting to drive them insane.

-AI Afterlife

Even creepier than AI partners is the AI afterlife. People who are grieving the loss of a loved one can subscribe to an AI afterlife service where they can download their loved one's pictures and videos and intimate personal information, and they can have their departed one recreated in AI form to interact with. The AI version looks and sounds like and has many of the same memories as the deceased person, so even after your parent or spouse, or friend has died, you can still talk with them and have them just as you did before.

It will delude people's minds as they are pulled into the vortex of demonic deception about the afterlife. Sadly, very soon, people will not seek Jesus to be their hope of reuniting with their departed family members but will simply seek scientific and technological methods to cope with and overcome the inevitable death obstacle humanity faces.

-AI warfare

The military industries worldwide are transitioning to drone warfare as the future of military combat on the battlefield. Drone swarms, which can replicate locusts or bees, or birds and are armed, can be used to destroy designated enemy targets and can be manufactured cheaply and efficiently as a new type of “Star Wars” unfolds.

AI can control and direct these swarms of killers with pinpoint accuracy, and traditional warfare is becoming obsolete as the transition plays out. It has been pointed out that the Russian/Ukrainian war started a few years ago as more of a conventional war with soldiers and tanks, but is now almost exclusively a drone war. The test lab of Ukraine may be a trial run of how all future battles will be directed by AI using armed robots and drones.

-AI quantum computing (exponential)

Britt Gillette used a great illustration on a video program recently and made the following point about the exponential growth of AI. He said human beings are used to time and progress in a linear fashion …step 1…step 2… then 3 and then step 4. We see AI being incorporated everywhere and think it is at step 1 now, and in a few years, as it’s perfected and incorporated into business and everyday life, it will go to step 2 and then later onto 3 and 4 and so on. But quantum computing will allow it to grow exponentially instead of in a linear path. So instead of 1..2…3…4 it will expand 1..2..4..8..16..32 etc. It will overtake everything quickly as it doubles instead of just moving onto the next sequential number.

He used this brilliant example that I believe he was summarizing from another Bible teacher :

If a man was handcuffed to the top seat at the top row of Yankee Stadium and was told he had to free himself before the stadium is flooded and drowns him, and a person was going to stand on the Pitchers mound and drop one teaspoon of water and then every minute he would double the amount of water poured onto the field, how long would the man at the top have to escape? He said most people would say he probably has 100 years or so to escape. But by exponentially doubling the amount of water every minute, the man would drown in 58 minutes.

After 2 minutes, it would be two teaspoons poured out. At 3 minutes, it would be 4 teaspoons. The 4th minute would be 8 teaspoons. After 5 minutes, it would be 16 teaspoons poured out, but forward to 11 minutes, it would be a gallon and a half. By 16 minutes, it would be 48 gallons, and by minute 56 the stadium would be a quarter full of water … 1 minute later, at 57 minutes, it will be half filled with water. Then, one more minute later, it would double and be completely full and drown the handcuffed man.

That is how fast technology is growing and how AI will overtake us before we know what hit us.

As the final pitch coating was being put on the Ark and its completion was imminent, the animals began to stream in from all over the land. The Ark was just the vessel of salvation. The people and animals were the recipients of the Ark’s purpose. Similarly, the Beast infrastructure is being populated with the intelligence it will need to thrive and fulfill the purposes for which the Beast is being built. Noah and his family and the Animals filled the Ark to glorify God and show His saving plan. The technological advancements are multiplying to glorify Satan and give him the worldwide network of control He has always desired. The results will be terrifying!

THE ANIMALS OF ALL VARIETY WERE GATHERED INTO THE ARK BEFORE JUDGMENT FELL, JUST AS PEOPLE FROM EVERY TRIBE AND TONGUE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT INTO CHRIST IN PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL JUDGMENT

For the last 2000 years, the call to the Gentiles to come unto salvation at the invitation of the Church has been God’s chosen method to build His Kingdom. Soul by soul, tribe by tribe, nation by nation; they have come from every corner of the globe. Christ is our Ark. He is our saving hope, just as Noah’s Ark was the only hope for the earth’s animals and people.

The animals came from all over, listening to their Creator’s call to come and be saved. The Gentile world, as well as some Jews, have also followed this pattern of coming to accept salvation and escape the coming judgment . But at some point, the last of the animals was on board, and soon, the fullness of the Gentiles will be complete as well. When the last soul of the Church Age has been saved, Christ’s Church will be complete and ready for Jesus to rapture her.

That time is drawing very near.

THE DOOR OF THE ARK CLOSING WAS THE FINAL SIGN OF THE FLOOD’S NEARNESS, JUST AS THE WORLD CLOSING THE DOOR ON ISRAEL IS THE LAST SIGN OF THIS GENERATION

Of all the signs pointing to the Lord’s soon judgment of the world, there is one that clearly outshines them all. The Nation of Israel is not only the ancient, Biblically-chosen people and the eternal Apple of God’s Eye, but it is also the capital that Jesus will return to and set up His earthly throne in the City of Jerusalem for the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom. So we know when the world is closing in on that tiny country and wanting it removed from existence, that the near return of Christ is on the horizon as He prepares to return and save her.

Just like when the Antediluvian people saw the Ark door close and knew it was too late to get aboard, the world is about to close the final door on itself by their betrayal and plans to cast away Israel.

-Iran is being forced to put hooks in Russia’s jaws to fulfill their destiny at the battle of Gog/Magog.

For years, Iran has been spewing its deep Islamic hatred for the Nation of Israel and its desire to wipe it off the map. Under the cover of supposedly building a “peaceful” Atomic program, they have been working (as the world pretends to look the other way) to enrich Uranium with the hopes of weaponizing their endeavors and destroying Israel once and for all.

Iran has been the main supplier of weapons and funds to Israel’s border enemies, and it was Iran who funded and orchestrated the October 7th attacks through their proxy Hamas.

But the joint effort of Israeli intelligence and President Trump’s American support helped to disarm the Iranian Nuclear program over the Summer, and now Iran is basically a toothless lion.

Their immediate response to the destruction of their Nuclear dreams was to turn to Russia for their future aspirations of eliminating God’s tiny nation. And this has set the stage perfectly for the Ancient Gog/Magog Prophecy to unfold soon.

Israel is securing its borders with their recent wars, and the Iranian Nuclear threat is now history. The Abrahamic Accords are paving the way to more peace with the surrounding nations, and Israel will soon feel the false security described in Ezekiel 38-39 as Iran, Russia, Turkey, and a few others plot a lethal attack.

But it will fail…At the Hands of God Almighty!

-Israel is becoming the focus of the entire world all at once.

The Israeli/Palestinian Peace negotiations have been on and off the table for decades now. The Oslo Agreement in the 1990s helped pave the way for 30 years of Land-for-Peace negotiations that have brought little success and a lot of bloodshed. The world has watched as attempts to bring peace heat up and then fall flat in short order. Presidents have come and gone, with each one hoping they can be the one to figure out a plan to finally settle the disputes and reverse the hatred. All have failed.

Then came October 7, 2023!

The coordinated attacks by Hamas (funded by Iran) and the brutal killing and kidnapping of Jewish hostages turned the eyes of the entire world to the tiny Jewish nation, and the nations have been fixated on her ever since. While the initial horror brought worldwide sympathy for Israel, within days the narrative changed, and the sympathies turned to the Palestinians as Israel retaliated to the attacks. Within weeks, it was Israel being painted as the occupier of Palestinian territory, and hatred toward the Jewish people began to enflame from country to country. After two years, the fixation of the entire world seems to be on enforcing a “Final Solution” on Israel and putting an end to the sovereign Jewish state sitting smack dab in the middle of the Muslim world!

The chants of “Palestine will be FREE from sea to sea” are nothing more than a call for the total destruction of the Jewish Nation named Israel by God Himself. And you can bet those deadly chants are being heard in the Throne Room of Heaven, and God’s response will be coming soon… In a thunderous way!

-The world is becoming largely anti-Semitic

From the Halls of the UN to the classrooms across dozens of American Universities…From the streets of Europe to the deserts of the Middle East… the world is becoming a seething cauldron of hatred for the Jewish people and their safety, in any place except the land of Israel itself, is starting to come into question. While tolerance and anti-bigotry and anti-discrimination are being preached in woke social justice movements all over the world, the attitude doesn’t extend to those with a Star of David behind them.

Antisemitism is growing stronger and stronger even in the United States, and soon there will be no place on earth for the Jew to rest their head except in the land God gave them. And once they are all back in their land, the Antichrist will seek their extermination just as Hitler did with the Jews in the Concentration Camps.

That time is approaching rapidly.

-The EU and UN are determined to divide Israel

Europe and the EU are proclaiming they will recognize a Palestinian state in September. This is crazy since it has none of the qualifiers to be recognized as an independent nation. No stable government. No clearly defined borders. No means of supporting and providing for its people without world assistance. It is bizarre, but it sounds like the exact situation foretold by Joel that causes God to send Jesus back to judge:

“I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.” -Joel 3:2

THE FLOOD OF TECHNOLOGY (AS THE WATERS DID) WILL OVERTAKE THE PLANET ALL AT ONCE, TO THE WORLD’S DESTRUCTION

On a recent program, Britt Gillette discussed a warning that Ray Kurzweil had given about the direction of technology. Kurzweil is an inventor who has worked in the tech industry for Google and others and who now makes technology forecasts about the direction of our knowledge growth. Ray predicts that by the middle of this century, within 25 years, man will be software. What a frightening thought! The goal of the trans humanists is to merge man and computer so that human beings can live forever as downloadable computer programs. Our body parts can be recreated on 3D printers and replace our worn-out parts, and our brains can be merged with AI and downloaded to be eternal. Terrifying!

Here is an AI overview on Google about Kurzweil’s thoughts on AI itself :

“Ray Kurzweil, a futurist and former Google engineer, is known for his bold predictions about the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on humanity. He predicts that by 2029, AI will reach human-level intelligence and that by 2045, humans and AI will merge, leading to a "Singularity" where our minds merge with machines and our intelligence expands dramatically. He also anticipates that nanobots will repair cells, halt aging, and prevent disease, potentially leading to human immortality by 2030.”

Interestingly, Kurzweil believes 2029 will be the year that AI reaches the Singularity. 2029 would also house the 3.5-year Mid-Trib mark mentioned in Revelation if Jesus returns at the 2000th anniversary of His Death and Resurrection in 2033. If the timeline holds, Jesus will return after 2000 years to set up His 1000-year Kingdom and 3.5 years before that, an Image will be set up inside a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem that will demand Worship and initiate the Mark of the Beast. Could it be that AI takes over that year as the new scientific god of humanity?

No wonder Jesus said in Matthew 24:22,

“Unless those days be shortened, no flesh would be saved.”

And if AI merging with men could make for a new human that won’t die, could the integration of AI into humanity be the MARK OF THE BEAST that the Bible says will damn all who take it and make them unsavable?

-Yuval Harari predicts High Tech Horror:

Yuval Noah Harari is the science guru and human historian of the World Economic Forum, and he has made several frightening predictions about the AI takeover and the future of mankind.

Harare labels humanity as merely “Hackable Animals” in the high-tech trans human future and also states that we are now creating the gods of the future with our AI inventions.

Harari believes that once AI reaches singularity, humanity will merge with AI and become gods ourselves. Eternal and all-knowing. But oh, what a tragic lie this will prove to be, as we are simply creating our own doom at the hands of the Frankenstein Monsters we are building. And eternal immortality in fallen, sinful flesh would be a nightmare …Not a Panacea!

-Trial run of changing DNA (The Covid Experiment)

If humanity is going to be changed from human to trans human, it will require a willingness for people to allow themselves to be hacked. While ultimately it will be an enforced edict upon humanity to conform or be exterminated, the powers want the transition to be as smooth as possible. The more willingly compliant the masses are, the easier and faster the transitions can happen. The more resistant the populace is, the longer and more difficult it will be to realize the futuristic dreams of the elites and the Principalities of the air. Therefore, experiments on society are needed to test the transitional waters.

COVID was one such social experiment. How compliant the citizens of the nations would be in accepting lockdowns and business closings, accepting unproven foreign substances into their bodies, and tow the “Build Back Better” line, adhering to all the government mandates, would tell the leaders of the trans human movement a lot about the future timeline for their desired outcomes. Sadly, they were able to speed up their plans because of the global acceptance of their plandemic!

-Big Venues and Air Travel Turn To Biometrics.

As mentioned earlier, sports stadiums and concert arenas, and universities are all abandoning cash and have mostly all gone cashless. Soon, many will be abandoning credit and debit and cash apps as well, and will turn exclusively to Biometrics attached to your bank account as the only acceptable payment option. They are already starting the transition to Iris and thumbprint scanning as a replacement for tickets. The airlines are in line to do exactly the same thing for air travel. Soon, anyone who wants to travel will be forced to accept the same Biometric technology as their proof of identity and replacement for cash payments, or they will be earthbound with no chance of flying.

The Chinese Social Credit Scores system, which rewards good government-compliant citizens with travel perks and entertainment benefits but denies those opportunities to citizens it thinks are not compliant, will soon be the model tied to biometrics worldwide. This plan will restrict human freedom and force humanity to move into the future that the globalists envision with a cashless mandate and a restrictive surveillance AI Big Brother watching their every move.

-Warfare is Changing Rapidly.

As mentioned, warfare is changing from human combat to drone warfare, and while it may save some lives, whoever or whatever finally gains control of AI will be able to harness all the weaponry for itself and make the final Beast unconquerable by human means. The stage is being set to end human flesh if Jesus doesn’t return in time. But we know by His own words that He will shorten the days and spare us.

-Banking Digital Control is Coming.

As AI progresses and Digital currencies are rolled out, we are heading for an inevitable intersection of technologies. Once the Digital currencies are implemented and embraced (either by willingness, bribery, or coercion), the cash will be completely phased out and eliminated. Once that happens, it is impossible for an AI system that finally hits singularity (or more likely demon possession) to not take over the entire Beast-controlled banking system and make demands on what regulations will be mandatory to access your digital money.

-Mark of the Beast Technology is Advancing and Being Implemented in Every Corner of the Globe.

When the final AI system being incorporated by the global Beast government takes control of all the planet's military machine, surveillance, and digital currencies, all will be in place for the “Mark of the Beast” to be forced on the world, and everyone will be trapped in its Satanic web!

-Exponential Nature of the Coming Quantum Computing System.

As we have said, the leaps and bounds in which technology is growing are not linear 1… 2 …3…4 but it’s exponential 1…2…4…8…16….32.

When all the technological components being created are unified by AI and coalesce into the Beast system, it will overtake humanity almost instantaneously. Just like the water in the stadium that is a quarter full at 56 minutes, half full of water at 57 minutes, but completely full at the 58-minute mark. Technological control will overtake the planet like the flood waters in Noah’s day that broke forth from the earth to destroy everything and everyone in moments…except, of course, those on the Ark! Technology seems to be our friend on the surface. It is about to become our destruction in the blink of an eye. And the only Ark of salvation from that terrible destruction is to be in Christ and be taken at the Rapture of the Church before the flood comes.

CONCLUSION

The raindrops are now a downpour!

The signs are everywhere and multiplying rapidly.

The ark of Noah was built for salvation from the first global judgment. The Beast is being built for destruction at the second global judgment. The similarities stand out in that most people are scoffing and denying what we see happening before our very eyes, just as they did to Noah. But it’s real. And it’s near.

The infrastructure of the Antichrist’s kingdom is being put together rapidly and mostly out in the open now, exactly as the Ark was built for every eye to see. When it is ready … judgment will come. And when it comes, it will overtake the earth’s inhabitants rapidly, just as the flood waters did. And those on the outside of salvation looking in…will be horrified they missed the boat!

“Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ “But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from…” -Luke 13:25
