    First 7 words:

    Bill Gates just dropped a wild prediction

    In other words: Insider trading.

    Have you ever though about why millionaires suddenly start predicting stuff? Because they just made a multi million investment and they are looking for such trashy magazines to push their agenda.

    So thanks, but no, I won’t get hyped over some words.

      In that case, I would suggest you to be adaptive, these crazy people can do different things, so being prepared and having autonomy will not be superfluous.

    Behold my prophecy! The idle posting of bovine excrement like this will infuriate the gods of the interneth! The end is nigh! Repent, sinners.

        The revelation of john of patmos refers to the resistance of either Nero or Dominion. It doesnt describe nanomachines controlling us.

        The verse youre describing, wearing the mark of the beast (numerology of nero’s name adds up to 616, commonly mistaken as 666) refers to Jewish practice of marking yourself religiously (tefflin) because people were worshipping nero.

        The mark of the beast, with the image of the beast, is roman gold coins bearing his face. You cant buy or trade without roman gold.

        Messianic prophecy is one large Yes And from when Israel was defeated by Babylon, and with tons of callbacks to other prophecies, with someone shoehorning how things all link up. In fact, revelation is believed to have two different authors, because two of the end signs are the exact same (sun is blackened out), almost like the second writer didn’t even double check

        Source: former baptist preacher, tons of theological studies during and after I left, and now a daoist/gnostic.

            Finding out the rapture and a lot of the stuff i grew up believing were because of one or two assholes from the 1800s (DL Moody for starters) pissed me the fuck off, especially for how it warped theology and conspiracy theories for generations to come

          Can we be friends? My best friend is also a former Baptist preacher who’s now a daoist/nondualist. I’m a nondualist who’s interested in daoism, and super interested in gnosticism (and occasionally an Episcopalian, especially on holidays ;) )

            Your best friend sounds amazing! Always happy to DM and maybe Signal, especially anything related to theology and the esoteric 😊

    Worth pointing out that Chaotic Moon’s products are temporary adhesive circuits, not subdermal tattoos. A phone that sticks to your skin might be a bit more palletable that one that has to be implanted, jist think about the obscellesence nightmare that would be.

      I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to stick this crap on my skin. My phone, which is already tracking me, is enough for me.
