Recently a friend sent me this Mondex PowerPoint file and asked me what I thought about it.

Basically, the Modex PowerPoint is about the new small transmitters that are placed under the skin to be used as a personal Id for security from everything to building access and account access, to physical location through RFID.

Watch this PowerPoint and then read my response: Mondex

Here’s what I have to say about Mondex:

Remember when the coming ‘mark of the beast’ was Proctor & Gamble?

Hitler has been the antchrist. Russia’s Kruschev has been the antichrist. Ronald Reagan has even been the antichrist.

All my life, I have heard this preacher, and that teacher proclaiming who fulfills the prophecies concerning the antichrist, and those that are cursed by receiving his mark on their foreheads.

Now, their saying Mondex chips.

This is what Jesus’s favorite disciple revealed to us almost 2000 years ago:

1Jo 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.

1Jo 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.

1Jo 2:20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all the things.

1Jo 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

1Jo 2:22 Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even he that denieth the Father and the Son.

It seems pretty clear to me that John tells us clearly that the antichrist they had heard was coming in the last hour was not just a single individual, and that he knew it was already “the last hour” since many antichrists had already come at the time he was writing. He even goes on to tell us exactly who the antichrist is: This is the antichrist, even he that denieth the Father and the Son. Preachers and teachers too often want to proclaim their guess about some prophetic, highly interpretive verse in Revelation, all the while ignoring these completely frank and extremely clear and unambiguous verses. I might add that John, who is telling us these things, is the same John who gave us Revelation to read.

So, to answer your question about what I think about this, I don’t think anything about it.

I’m not looking for the last hour, John said 2000 years ago: Little children, it is the last hour.

I believe many people get really out of whack worrying about prophecy and some new thing, while ignoring the plainly spoken sayings of Jesus. If we live our lives by His words, why would we worry about the future–regardless of who is right about prophecy?

The sum of all the prophets, prophecies, and preachers can not bring any greater truth or revelation than that of “Christ, and Him crucified.” In fact this is the result of all Paul’s ambition. No human wisdom. No remarkable insight. Paul finished it all by claiming to desire to know only this one thing: “Christ, and Him crucified.”

So, between John and Paul, I don’t concern myself with any of these new things. They are often fruitless toward winning others to Christ anyway.

That said, I have no condemnation of those that get caught up with these things. I just think their efforts would serve better preaching the gospel. Doesn’t that fix it all anyway?

Regards.
