I started this Substack page with the idea of dealing primarily with spiritual issues of Bible study and Christian growth. I’m sorry to say that after seeing the growing evidence of what is becoming so obvious concerning the agenda the supposed “Elites” have for all of us common people, I cannot just sit back and watch our world be destroyed by those in positions of power who are either totally inept, totally corrupt, or have an agenda that is demonically motivated for gaining total control of the rest of us.
It is also clear to me that overthrowing Christianity and the moral teachings that were once the accepted behaviors taught and practiced in the churches, homes and schools of this once great nation is a major part of that agenda.
When my family and I were living in Hong Kong from 1988 through 1992, the rise of the video game started with the little Gameboy machines that every kid I saw, including my own, decided they had to have. What was then an intriguing and fun high tech system of entertainment for young people, much like the pinball machine was to my generation, in a relatively short time has become something that pretty much rules the minds and hearts of young people worldwide.
If we were to be honest with ourselves we would see that mobile apps, video games, social media, artificial intelligence and the technology that is at the heart of today’s entertainment and media world, along with the Internet itself, are at the forefront of the things that will likely play a major role in the destruction of humanity as we know it. Incredibly some are salivating over the potential they see for merging the human and the artificial together to create a whole new creature.
In short, the modern world is addicted to technology and the billionaires that sit at the helms of the machines that feed this addiction will never willingly give up what they have gained until they themselves, like the company founders of ‘Skynet’ in the Terminator movie series, are taken over by the machines and are no longer a necessary part of the mix.
I remember how I felt when I first heard Klaus Schwab speak the words: “You will own nothing and be happy.”
Who is he, and who are the other so called elites who agree with these words for the rest of us. How about them? Will they own nothing? Would they be happy if they did? Of course not. But they don’t need to think about that. They’re better than the rest of us aren’t they?
Like those behind the efforts to convince us all we need electric cars to stop global warming from destroying the planet, are they holding to the demands such a radical idea calls for? I don’t think so. I’m sure the thousand plus private jets that showed up for the W.E.F. meetings in Davos this past year were all running on electric generators or vast stores of 12 volt batteries to make sure they didn’t contribute to the problem of “Global Warming.” NOT!
Don’t mistake what I am saying for giving up. I believe that the Internet is today’s Tower of Babel which will eventually meet the same fate as Nimrods Tower did in Genesis when God decides He’s had enough and, like the Tower of Babel, he disrupts the whole process and brings it to it’s final end. You might remember what His conclusion was about the Tower and the mindset of the people in that day:
“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do”.
And who or what is behind this commitment to the domination and/or destruction of the human race and the God who created us? Old Slewfoot himself, Satan, the Prince of the Power of the Air (Ephesians 2:1-4) and his minions of fallen angels and demons that were all cast out of heaven and fell like lightning to the earth (Luke 10:18) and were given temporary dominion over this world.
My conclusion is that since the “Power of the Air” is electromagnetism and all modern media including the Internet and most other forms of electronic communication require electromagnetic power, using them puts us squarely under the influence of that Prince, and the Powers of Darkness who have been granted temporary dominion over this fallen world. Allowing him and his evil crowd to control so much of the world and the ways us humans function today is nothing short of surrendering to the very dark evils Jesus went to the Cross and rose from the grave to destroy.
You may disagree with my conclusion about this but I think what is happening currently with the worldwide outrage about TikTok (either for or against it) and the vast power of Social Media and the Internet in today’s world, it is not something to just ignore for someone who is a reasonable thinking person.
If you don’t think the evil geniuses creating algorithms designed to addict the minds and emotions of young people toward pornography, immorality, dark thinking, emotional instability, selfishness and adherence to dark and evil thoughts and practices is worth the effort to expose them and bring them down, then . . . welcome to the future ‘graveyard of human decency.’
Obviously we can’t all turn everything off and go live in the woods with ‘tin foil hats’ and a blue roof over our heads to protect us from bursts of ‘Direct Energy Weapons’ designed to fry us all like many think happened with Maui and other recent deadly fires. But we have to do something, don’t we?
For a start, just think about it and take a bit of time to consider the outcome of what is happening out there. It is so invasive and so “everywhere” it is hard to think about how to defeat it when those who are in it seem to hold all the cards.
But don’t dismay my friend. If you are a believer in Christ, don’t forget. “Greater is He that is in [you] than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
As for those who are so arrogant as to think they can control us and send us all to out live in communes or “Smart Cities” where they can herd us like a bunch of sheep and pen us up at night, I have news for them:
“They’ll have nothing . . . but they won’t be happy.”
I have heard, however, that the heaters work real good where they will be spending their eternal retirement. At least there is that.

Definitely want those ministering angel fir sure. Thanks Bob.
Excellent description of today's situation of a Christian living in this heavily contested world. Giving us the challenge of living in this world without "being of this world".
My mind's eye can see Satan speaking to Christ during his time in the wilderness and offering him all of his kingdoms if he will just bow to him. Telling him he (Satan) owns the kingdoms and he would give Christ them all if he would just give in and bow to him.
My hope is as we get through these trying times together rejecting the mark and all other satanic traps, we will have ministering angels coming to visit us as Christ did after rejecting Satan's final offer.
