Revelation 13:17 decree on track to be fulfilled 2030 to 2035

Satan cannot create something from nothing and he is not all-knowing nor is he all-seeing. He and the fallen beings that follow him cannot be everywhere. It stands to reason then that Satan needs to use developed technologies to accomplish certain things that Bible prophecy says will happen. A prime example of that is the 666 buy/sell system of Revelation 13:17. The decree of the False Prophet can only be complied with after such a commerce control system exists. One way we can know how close we are to the fulfillment of Revelation 13:17 is by becoming aware of the developments of such mass control technologies.

While people in Western pseudo Christian nations have been brainwashed into believing that they live in democracies, a total surveillance society is being set up under the guise of more national security.

In totalitarian nations like China where there is no pretense about democracy or surveillance they openly admit that they are putting in place a surveillance society. They plan to monitor all the movements and transactions of Chinese citizens and give each citizen a social score. People with high scores will receive perks and those with low scores will be punished. This Orwellian system of control is to be in place by 2020.

India plans to use extensive video surveillance and link it to a rapidly developing biometric database containing data on Indian adults. Video surveillance will identify people on the fly using biometric matching and assigned numbers Indians are now being given. It almost seems as if these nations are developing their surveillance systems to be in compliance with Revelation 13:17 decree. China and India alone make up a third of the world’s population.

The EU, America and other advanced nations make up a second third of the earth’s population. They are the ones that actually developed the technology to make the surveillance society possible. Conveniently, the satanically inspired 9/11/01 attack on the twin towers fully opened the door to allow mass surveillance. All electronic communications in the world are now being monitored by Western spy agencies.

There are now one million people in the United States whose job is to collect intelligence on what others are doing. There are fusion centers in each state collecting and sharing digital data. People in America and in other Western nations were only too eager to give up freedom for the promise of more security. Whatever the truth about the 9/11 attack, it accomplished a greater satanic purpose. People willingly gave away freedoms to governments that Western governments will never willingly give back to the people.

Most people in the West are brainwashed by decades of leftist propaganda. The leftist agenda greatly advanced in U.S. federal government during the President Clinton era. I was in government at that time and I remember how Vice President Al Gore’s “Reinventing Government” initiative forced all government employees down the leftist road.

Team concepts was forced on all government employees. Everyone became a member of a team. Decisions were made through a consensus of the majority on that team. Team leaders were elected by a team vote. It was a popularity contest. Individualism and critical thinking gave way to group think. Anyone that would not go along with decisions of the team and the group think would have no future in government. The teams were regularly required to attend social engineering seminars where already brainwashed facilitator’s directed the teams down the leftist politically correct think path.

Later, when President Obama took office, the top leadership positions in government were given to cultural Marxists and leftists paying tribute to the moon-god cult. Most of the brainwashed group thinkers kissing up to these Obama appointees just fell in line.

It does not surprise me that group think would lead to the mindless deep state antichrist system that exists in government today. Rule by the majority in this fallen world equates to Satanic rule. The Bible and history tells us the majority will choose to take the path to Hell.

The leftist indoctrination was not limited to the federal government. Large corporations, foundations, education institutions, local governments and religious institutions took on group think, social engineering programs and postmodernism. It is mainly individualists working for themselves or a small business and those living in rural areas who have escaped the leftist brainwashing. That is the reason for the great divide in the nation that we see today.

Tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon etc., may never have intended to become evil but money and power corrupts. Evil people want to shape the world into the Satanic worldview and that agenda leads to the decree of Revelation 13:17. The leftist high-tech companies now control information and the means for Internet commerce. They are already manipulating data deciding what will be seen and what will not be seen. They are already defunding those that do not go along with the satanic worldview. It should be obvious that once the Church is removed only the Satanic worldview will exist on electronic media. During the tribulation God will have to get His message out through supernatural means and of course He will.

Two-thirds of the population of the earth could now comply with the Revelation 13:17 decree within months. The last third would be the holdup but that hindrance will only exist for a few more years. There are projects underway to get Internet communications worldwide.

If you seen any videos of people living in third world cities, you might have noticed that even in third world cities most people are walking around with their heads in their phones. It is only in rural areas where it is still not possible to enforce a buy/sell decree. Getting the Internet to these rural areas is a high priority.

There are plans underway to put up thousands of low orbit satellites that will cover every location on earth with Internet communications. Most of those satellites will be up and working in the first half of the 2020’s. Therefore, the worldwide communications system necessary to implement the decree of Revelation 13:17 will exist by 2025. All that will then remain is for the kings of the earth to use these communications systems to enforce a decree by a false prophet speaking great lies.

We also should notice that totalitarianism is advancing rapidly on planet earth along with the total surveillance society. Most so-called democracies and democratic republics in the world are actually Oligarchies. The political candidates and the results are pretty much predetermined. There are a few exceptions but these exceptions tend not to be in power very long.

  • Europe and pseudo Christian nations are run by an oligarchy of wealthy people brainwashed by humanistic philosophies, the Jesuits or pagan spiritualism.
  • China is run by a dictator that directs bureaucrats and crony capitalists. The Chinese system meets the very definition of fascism but it is the Western “democracies” buying products from their enslaved people that enables the Chinese fascist system.
  • All 57 Muslim nations are run by dictators under the brainwashing of the Satanic moon-god cult.
  • The UN is run by representatives from all of these undemocratic satanic factions. Their documented goal it to have world governance in place by 2030.

That comprises most of the world today. So much for any claims about democracy advancing in the world. The nations of the world are also becoming increasingly antichrist. That just proves that Satan is the god of this world system.

I do not see any return toward biblical truths. I think the world is now too far gone to correct itself. There will be no world revival before the tribulation. The greatest religious advances in the world today are Islam and Word of Faith/NAR pseudo Christianity. They both are false gospels that give lip service to Jesus but their Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. Just as Jesus said it would be before His second coming, the world is now like it was prior to the flood and the Sodom and Gomorrah judgments

The world obviously is about ripe for the coming of the Antichrist. By monitoring world trends I have expected the Revelation 13:17 decree to be fulfilled in the 2030 to 2035 time frame for two decades now. All the trends I see today seem right on track to fulfill my expectations.

  1. Jeremy says:

    sometimes freedom is given up unknowningly and even the companies doing it at the start had no evil in mind

    Things like the internet, phones, fitbit, etc. start with good intent but it the people and governments coming later that find ways to corrupt them.

    We the people gave our locations and freedom away but at the time did not know we where doing!!!! facebook, health lose it apps, twitter, watches, etc.

  2. Nathan K. says:

    Can this world really last another 10-15 years? Hope it’s sooner than that! From a technology standpoint it seems like it might still be a decade away, but it’s hard to see things with Iran, Russia, Turkey, Syria, Israel, et al. festering for another decade without a major prophetic war.

  3. Jim says:

    My gut feeling is that after Trump leaves office we will see a very quick descent into worldwide totalitarianism. The godless left will waste no time implementing the satanic system they dreamed of. I was just thinking today about how bleak the future looks. The only hope we have is Christ’s soon return.

  4. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Nathan,

    The world will last for more than a thousand more years. Keep in mind what Revelation talks about at the end of this age will occur over at least a seven year period. I tend to believe that from the opening of the first seal to the end of the age will be a ten year period (aka the ten days of awe). That means the spoken about events probably starts within seven years and as soon as 2020.

  5. Jennifer says:

    Hi Don. Can you post the link for your article that explains the 3 1/2 year gap from rapture to the beginning of the tribulation. I assume that is what you’re referring to as the 10 days of awe theory above. I read it awhile back but can’t seem to find it again. I’ve read your blog for years and really appreciate your wisdom.

  6. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Jennifer

    I last addressed the gap in the following article but I also wrote about a 10 1/2 period in the Revelation Commentary that I wrote in 2004.

    https://www.thepropheticyears.com/enddepravity/apocalypse-road-has-gap-between-rapture-and-daniels-70th-week.html

  7. alex says:

    this article is right on point its like a giant puzzle that fits all the pieces right where they should be. thnx don

  8. Nathan K. says:

    Understood, to clarify, I meant can we last another 10-15 years before before the tribulation begins. The birth pangs just seem to keep coming at a faster pace. It’s amazing what has happened in even the last two years prophetically. It feels like things will continue to accelerate.

  9. William S. LaForge says:

    Hi Don, if you have time, I wonder what you think about palm scanning technology. I could not find in the blog archive, but I’m sure you know about it.
    I read an article in USA Today some time ago about it. If you google palm scanners USA Today it comes up.
    The title of the article is Palm Scanners Get The Thumbs Up In Schools, Hospitals. Palm scanning technology uses unique vein patterns as a “handy” ID system. Kids pay for their school lunch with a wave of their hand over a palm scanner. The technology is expanding as a biometric tracker of identities. The palm scans precision record keeping and info is said to be put into a database.
    Another website article from bayometric.com stated that’s it’s very accurate, unique to each individual and highly resistant to impersonation and counterfeiting.

  10. David L says:

    Completely agree Don. One thing everyone might want to start educating themselves on is what Crypto Currency is all about, and how to use it. It might come in handy in the later years before the rapture. As many in tech who are being shut out of traditional funding platforms such as PayPal, Patreon, and even credit card processors have had to revert to as a last resort, many of us may find one day we too are shut out. Since a cashless Society is even closer than you think. Bartering in rural areas will still be available, then, as is likely the case even now. But, crypto is not a guaranteed think, because it still requires access to the internet. Let’s hope we won’t be forced into being criminals by hacking our way in, just to survive.

    Don gave good advice awhile back. Perhaps now is CA good time to think about relocating to some out of the way places, to await our Savior.

  11. Don Koenig says:

    Hi William,

    Palm reading? You know much more about palm scanning than I do.

    Biometerics is sure to replace other identification not too far down the line. I won’t miss passwords but biometerics is going to allow everyone to be identified by surveillance devices in real time.

    Biometeric identification of adults will not be an option in India and China less then two years from now. And as you probably know, social media and credit companies in the West plans to go to biometric identification in the near future.

  12. clinton says:

    in response to this “Getting the Internet to these rural areas is a high priority.”
    I have taught/ coached at small rural schools, and I have seen a push to get everybody connected to the internet, through grants to help kids learn by upgrading community internet access through schools and everyone gets a google chromebook.

  13. David L says:

    Don & all,

    FYI, while it’s still an option, it’s best to use a password to unlock things, because current law says you can’t be forced to divulge those. However, precedent already shows you CAN be forced to give up a finger or face or other bio metric to unlock devices, files etc. Passwords are the safest for now anyways. And I hate the phrase “well I don’t have anything to hide” so please refrain from telling me that, thanks. Everyone has something they would rather strangers not take that’s private. Show me the man, and I’ll show A Crime. It’s a matter of principle!

  14. Don Koenig says:

    Hi David,

    “Show me the man, and I’ll show A Crime.”

    Not only that. They will just make crimes up. For example criticizing the left, LGBQ or false religions are hate crimes. Just ask people already being charged in Europe.

  15. Steve says:

    Very informative article Don. It’s is apparent that we are right there tech-wise. I believe a company in Sweden had already implemented use of hand implants for scanning and personal data protection.

    Then I see the advancements in robotics and AI systems. If you and I can find examples of these technologies, then there’s no telling what is actually available to the government.

    Also, just watching some of the Kavanaugh proceeding with the accusations made and this guilty until proven innocent campaign shows me that it is nearly impossible to stand against this Beast system. It’s already here for the most part in my opinion . They just lack their savior and his prophet.

  16. Gerd says:

    A foretaste of what is awaiting people during the tribulation (and to a certain degree even before that) is illustrated in this youtube video:

    Exposing China’s Digital Dystopian Dictatorship

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eViswN602_k

    It is argued that the system shown in the video is actually not yet in place but could be in 2-5 years from now. If that happens it could put an end to the perhaps last big-scale Christian revival on earth which is presently taking place throughout China, despite new rounds of relentless and ruthless persecution by the Xi regime. Open Doors estimates that the number of Chinese Christians is now close to 100 million, and still growing rapidly. The seeds that were sown a hundred and more years ago by Christian missionaries like Hudson Taylor seem to come to an unexpectedly late fruition – just from within China itself and without any foreign influence. Maybe that is a mighty sign by itself – it shows that God will not allow that the dedicated work of His messengers, many of whom gave their lives and the lives of their families for their China calling, goes unanswered. This Far East miracle (which also includes the two Koreas and Taiwan) could well be the last large-scale spiritual revival on earth before the rapture of the Church.

  17. Greg says:

    Don I think you are right on track about the timing (2030) personally I was hoping that things would happen sooner. But the Lord in his grace doesn’t want any to perish (but people will).so if I read you correctly you think that perhaps a seal will be opened sooner than 2030??

  18. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Greg,

    I think the first seal will be opened about ten years before the second coming. I also believe the Rapture will occur around the opening of the first seal. I suspect that the actual second coming will be in the 2030’s. Do the math. Of course people should not be banking on it. I could be wrong.

  19. Jim says:

    When the bible says all people will be required to take the mark to buy and sell I feel like What it really means is those under the antichrists control will be required to take it. Those in remote jungles have no need for a modern ecommerce system and I doubt the NWO will be able to scour every square foot of earth looking for indeginous people to mark. Also some countries rebel and attack him so I doubt they are following his orders for the mark. Maybe demons hunt every one down who knows.

  20. Doug says:

    Hi Don,
    This whole scenario, in my opinion, puts a damper on any EMP event against this country. Satan will need the communication network intact and functioning to accomplish his goals. Instead, I can see targeted grid attacks to bring down certain sections of the country without affecting the elite. Afterwards, all they have to do is flip a switch and bring everything back on line with little damage to themselves, which would occur if the whole country crashed at once and the nuclear power plants began melting down.

  21. Steve says:

    Don, the “Tidings from the North and East” in Daniel. Would this be before or after the mark is implemented? Could this signify China being against the AC? Do all nations follow him, but some eventually rebel? Dissent amongst demonic forces?

  22. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Doug,

    Bible prophecy is not about America. We could be destroyed as a nation before the Revelation events. An EMP over America is mainly a danger to people dependent on our own grid system. That excludes the nations mentioned in Bible prophecy. An EMP over America could be the very way that the focus suddenly shifts to those nations.

    If a EMP destroyed America prior to the tribulation, the world would have no problem getting this system up and running all over the world in the years prior to the revealing of the Beast. The days of the four horsemen will be more tragic for the world than would be the days after America’s lights go out. Even so, we are told that this buy/sell system is up and running shortly after the four horsemen ride.

  23. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Steve,

    It depends on when you think the Gog/Magog war is. If it occurs during the last 3.5 years, it happens in the same period.

    The answer might be found in the statement that Jesus made. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” The ruling demonic beings controlling nations will end up fighting each other. Keep in mind, the nations under the control of these fallen angelic beings have been fighting with each other throughout world history.

    With that said, It does seem that the Beast and False prophet gets them all on the same page again to come against the return of Jesus to Jerusalem. Satan knows his armies cannot win against God, so, I think the goal to bring all nations against the Lord is a last ditch effort by Satan to get all humans on earth killed. Then there would be nobody of flesh left to populate the kingdom and God’s purpose for creating humans would fail. God will shorten the days so an elect on earth will survive the judgment.

  24. Craig P. says:

    Hi,

    This post is more “gut” than fact / scripture reference.

    I guess the mid-term election will tell where the American luciferian barometer is at / headed, but I’m thinking that Satan will grow impatient with trying to destroy America from within and decide to take matters by way of external means (such as “grid down” / EMP).

    There is an enormous amount of pure evil hatred on the part of the left on public display. I suspect that their frustrations with lack of success will continue to be manifested as such. I don’t see any means of dealing with their despicable conduct other than by proper legal state force, and, obviously, there is no chance of that occurring other than dealing with exceptional egregious acts on their part.

    It’s hard to see God letting this wickedness drag out much longer.

    I pray for His saints to somehow be able to succeed in serving Him in these last hours. Blessings, Craig

    Martin Armstrong has predicted the end of civilization and a new Dark Age starting in 2030. He hopes he does not have to live further than that year.
    Pastor Ric Wiles wrote that God gave him until 2030 to fulfill his ministry.
    That 2030 date sure comes up a lot.

  26. Kevin in Costa Rica says:

    Hi Don and readers. I saw how people were eager to accept more security/surveillance measures after 9/11. It was like: “Yes, go ahead and take more of our collective and individual rights! Just keep us safe from moslem terrorists!” Re 9/11 Don, you have hinted that it may have been planned in the West? Am I correct in this? There was a time when many thought this to be a far-fetched conspiracy – but not any more! Could you expand on what scenarios you find as ‘plausable’?
    I appreciate that you were an ‘insider’ to the changes in how government did business and consequently have passed this first-hand info. unto your readers.
    In order for the Washington bureaucracy to have become so Left-oriented, Obama must have been very busy, indeed. Your article confirms this and also explains why there are so many nutty, radical, Left-wing judges ruling against President Trump.
    I also appreciate you pointing out that both China and Russia are now “Fascist” (gov.+ corporations) as opposed to “Marxist-Communist (gov. owning everything). I think it’s important for people to understand the differences, but also how these two systems are (as you say), ultimately the same. The “Antifa” people could especially use a lecture on why, in fact, they are the epitome of Fascism.
    If you’ll permit me to say something re the Word “Nazi”, which is thrown around way too much lately. I’m sure World War 2 touched the families of many of your readers, Don. Mine is no exception. My late mother and father (respectively),both lost cousins in that conflict. Also,my father was a Canadian army officer in WW2. For those war history ‘buffs’ among your readers, they may know that the ‘Canucks’ played an integral role in the liberation of The Netherlands from Nazi occupation.
    I know that as a Christian, I am to remain in control of my behaviour. However, if anyone ever called me a “Nazi” (for being a conservative), I’m not sure I could ‘control’ myself!
    Thanks for giving us a ‘safe place’ to talk,Don. Plus I appreciate the comments of your many readers! Blessings to all! Kev.

  27. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Kevin,

    I don’t know what really happened on 9/11. I don’t believe the government account either. Buildings fires cannot burn that hot. There had to have been high tech explosives or something else involved than just two aircraft flying into the two building. No aircraft flew into building 7 but it fell also. I always suspect a government cover up when they are in a big hurry to remove all the evidence.

  28. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Juanisaac,

    Ric Wiles claims lots of strange stuff. He is a false prophet.

  29. georges bruneau says:

    I have found a number in the Bible that has not been addressed by any numerologist or Bible theorist. That number is 3 and 5. This number repeats itself throughout the Bible and was given to us by God.
    One example, is the size of Noah’s Ark. Another is Moses temple. The lineage of King David is also 35. I have dozen more.

    35 is half of 70. If you do not know what 70 means in Bible terms, look up Daniel 9:24.
    The year 2035 = 2 x 35 = 70

    don’t believe me, try the Ark of the Covenant.

  30. Don Koenig says:

    Hi George,

    Those that play with numbers can always figure something out. That does not mean what they figure really means anything.

  31. Susan Avery says:

    Don, have you studied the Noahide laws that Bush Sr. put into law in our country with the signing of the Education Day proclamation? Then re-ratified by other presidents. They are basically 7 commandments that can be loosely interpreted. These laws are working lock, stock and barrel with the very Satanic transgender agenda which is moving very quickly thru all governmental systems – not just in the US. I thought homosexuality and transgendered people were in a very small percentage of the population. But now, after studying our God given male and female skeletal differences, I have become convinced that 99-100% of the people we see in government and Hollywood and the news and modeling in NYC are transgenders.

    I believe the mark of the beast has something to do with modifying our chromosomes – perhaps in return for the promise of eternal life?

  32. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Susan,

    The Noahide Laws come from Jewish tradition but the dead sea scrolls prove that they actually were passed down by the pre-flood ancient fathers. They are laws that all people are to follow. They existed before Israel was made a covenant nation and given ten commandments to keep.

    1. Do not deny God (no idolatry).
    2. Do not murder.
    3. Do not steal.
    4. Do not engage in sexual immorality.
    5. Do not blaspheme.
    6. Do not eat of a live animal (no eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive).
    7. Establish courts and legal systems to ensure obedience of these laws.

    I don’t see how the Noahide Laws work in any way to advance the transgender agenda. True transgenders are those with chromosome defects or those with both male and female sex organs. These are an extremely small percentage of the population. Besides, the Noahide Laws say no sexual immorality.

    There is a rapid decrease in testosterone in parts of the world that probably has something to do what what is being observed in males. There are many reasons for that, but it has nothing to do with following or not following Noahide Laws.

    Transhumanism might have something to do with the mark of the Beast but not transgenderism.

  33. Susan Avery says:

    No offense, but I can’t find any evidence in the Bible that these 7 laws are to be followed by all people, I think we have the 10 commandments written by the finger of God. These laws are “interpreted” by these rabbis which are practicing the Kabala, not OT laws. This is the Babylonian religion we were warned about. Jews who call themselves Jews, but they are not. Since they practice laws in the Talmud about how it is perfectly fine to have sex with a 3 year old virgin, I would be very concerned about how they define “sexual immorality”.

    There are numerous photos of these Jewish wise men standing over Bush Sr. and Jr. as they establish the Naohide laws as the new law of the land for the USA. I just think we need to be aware of the fact that our laws are being changed.

  34. Don Koenig says:

    Susan,

    I already told you the Noahide Laws predate the Jews. None of them disagree with the ten commandments. As for your comments about Jews and Bush Sr. and Jr. you obviously are buying into the lies of some very satanic lying Jew hating people.

    The law of our land is called the U.S. Constitution. Nobody has changed it.

  35. Susan Avery says:

    Go to TheRebbe.Org and you will see all the pictures of the various presidents signing the laws into effect hidden within Education Day. They are surrounded by these rabbis. Then look into what they signed into law.

    if God gave seven laws to Noah it certainly isn’t in the Bible. Do your research

  36. Don Koenig says:

    Susan,

    The real point is that they do not in any way conflict with anything said in the Bible or the Ten Commandments. If you really want to learn where the Noahide Laws orginated from, read Dr. Ken Johnson’s scholarship on the subject. I already told you what the Noahide Laws say. No civil society would disagree with these laws and neither should you.

    Greetings from Germany Don. You’re right about the time. Trump even wants the 6G network as fast as possible. This is what he said recently: “I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on”… https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1098581869233344512
