"Donna Danna, Gino - The Image of the Beast And HighTech Vs Stone Age"


 
Hello Donna Danna, Gino, John and Doves,
 
I wrote about two letters from last week.  One from Donna Danna with a clarification on the worshipping of the 'image of the beast' letter to Gino.  Thank you, Donna.
 
And the second letter is Gino's on the Golem.  I think this is a possibility for the 'image' of the beast.  Or maybe it's something like a Golem - made by men (not high tech) and given breath/spirit.  Thank you for reminding me of this, Gino.
 
I also brought up the question about the world during the Tribulation Period - will it be 'high tech' or the Stone Age??
 
Donna Danna Image of the Beast letter:
 
 
Thank you Donna for 'clarifying' this - people will worship the beast, the false prophet and the image of the beast.
 
I wrote in relation to the 'image of the beast':  "people are suppose to worship the image not the beast". This is per Revelation 13:15.  If they don't worship the image, they are put to death.  It isn't 'not worshipping the beast' that causes their death. 
 
This was just a quick note to Gino concerning the image.
 
Here is the verse I was referring to:
 
In Rev 13:15 ""And he (the second beast) had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."   The image is to be worshipped or they die.
 
Thank you, Donna.  Important to clarify if someone was questioning this.  
 
Gino "image to the beast" letter:
RE: Chance: 02.09.25: image of the beast
 
Gino, I had forgotten about the possibility of a Golem!  Golems are made by human hands.  Is it just 'rabbis' that know this 'secret'?  (Is the False Prophet one of those rabbis?  I was thinking he was the/a pope.) 
 
The second beast 'told/ordered' the people to make an image to the first beast.  So it's made by human hands as per the scripture.  Maybe that image is a Golem.
 
Gino wrote, it's "an artificial humanoid made of clay, soil or dust". The second beast is "permitted" to give breath/spirit to the image.  (see Donna's letter above about this)
 
"The Golem embodies themes of fear and power..Its existence raises questions about control, creation and the potential for destruction."

I don't know what happens to 'the image' in the Tribulation.  The beast and the false prophet are thrown into the fiery lake. What happens to 'the image'??
 
Will There Be High Tech Anything In The Tribulation Or Will The World Be in the Stone Age?:
 
Several years ago I wrote a letter about the Tribulation - with all the death and destruction would there be any power plants, or people left to run them?  Would there be any high tech AI, supercomputers, etc to keep track of everyone, get them all 'marked' with some high tech injectable 'patch'? 
 
It seems that, basically, the civilized world would be knocked back to the Stone Age.  I commented that this could be a simple tattoo or brand.  It's a 'mark'. No need for scanning.  Someone could just look at them and tell if they had the mark or not.  Not all the world is 'high tech' and is capable of marking people with some injectable 'patch' that's connected to a computer.  As the world is hit by famines, plagues, wars, earthquakes, meteors, whatever...there isn't much 'technology' left do anything with.
 
'Mark' is also "a stamp, an imprinted mark', "the mark branded upon horses".
Thayer's Greek: 5480. χάραγμα (charagma) -- a stamp, impress
 
 
Recently I heard someone talk about the battle of Armageddon - she asked 'are there tanks and bombers/fighter jets..or do they come on foot/horseback with swords?  There is no mention of any 21st century weapons or something related to that.  She suggested that the men come to battle like of old - with shields, swords, bow and arrow on horseback or foot.  
 
And if there is no high tech capabilities due to the extreme destruction and death -  - there is this thing called the Golem - see Gino's link above.  It certainly would fit the geographical area; probably most Jews know of the Golem.  "The origins of the Golem myth can be traced back to ancient Jewish texts, with references appearing in the Talmud and later in mystical writings."

It appears to be some ancient mythical 'spell' that 'creates' this fantastical thing/creature/image. 
 
 I just don't see much technology lasting very long once the Tribulation Period starts.  I don't see a hightech 'mark' or computers tracking people.  I see it as pretty basic - a tattoo/brand, and you bow or you die.  And maybe an image made of clay with a spirit put into it, like a Golem.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
