Reanimating King David ???

According to this report, the Vatican has a plan to reanimate King David:

Frankly, that's preposterous !!! Jesus is the Christian Messiah, not King David. This sounds more like something the Israelis would do.

Or perhaps done by someone to fulfill this prophecy:

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And he 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.

Revelation 13:14-15 KJV

Here is additional (and rather pointless) discussion of the issue:

Is it a matter of law that Israel "owns" any of this property? I have no idea.

Pope Francis Rehabilitates Judas

Did Jesus forgive His betrayal by Judas? That is what this painting suggests:

I don't have a problem with that. Almost any sin can be forgiven, even the betrayal of our Lord by one of His friends.

But there is one thing the Bible says cannot be forgiven:

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. -Matthew 12:31 KJV

I would argue that taking the mark of the beast also cannot be forgiven, but this passage suggests I may be wrong:

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. -Matthew 5:30 KJV

US Dollar Fading Away

Here are some signs the US dollar will be fading away in the foreseeable future:

1. The dollar's share of global reserves is tumbling:

2. The dollar's weight could easily shrink by half:

3. The IMF wants the SDF system to be headquartered in China:

So, go ahead ... keep bashing China and Russia. Start a war with them. What good would that do?

If China finally decides to cut us off, who is going to replace all the goods and services we currently get from them? Do you think Europe will pick up the slack after we've been screwing them for the past few decades? Don't hold your breath.

A Financial Paradox

I saw this gem in an article discussing Russian submarines:

In what will be seen as a modern day Battle of the Atlantic, the Royal Navy will deploy a ‘spy ship’ to stop Russian submarines sabotaging Britain's internet by damaging undersea cables.

Due in service by 2024, the Multi Role Ocean Surveillance ship (MROSS) will help protect critical national infrastructure such as undersea cables which carry trillions of dollars of financial transfers each day and transmit 97 per cent of the world’s global communications.

"Trillions of dollars of financial transfers each day" means at least $365 trillion per year, right? And another source puts the number at $10 trillion per day or $3,650 trillion per year:

https://www.govtech.com/network/Undersea-Cables-Too-Valuable-to-Leave-Vulnerable.html

The total global economy is roughly $88 trillion ...

Source - https://www.statista.com/statistics/268750/global-gross-domestic-product-gdp/

... so why does the amount of financial transfers via cable exceed FORTY times that? And it's probably even higher if we include physical transfers of money and fungible assets.

We the People certainly aren't producing or receiving goods or services worth anywhere near such a sum. Is the world's economy just one big casino, or what?

Quote For The Day - 4/3/2021

"The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority."

- Martin Luther King Jr.

Ain't that the truth. Just look at what is happening to America today, and then ask yourself what the church is doing about it. It has become mostly an apologist for the attacks on the body of Christ ... or an outright advocate for them.

It Just Gets Weirder And Weirder

Microsoft has filed for a patent regarding 28 ways to mine cryptocurrency by "monitoring people's brain activity and other personal biometric data ...". You can read about it here:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/nothing-see-here-microsoft-files-patent-mine-cryptocurrency-using-unconscious-human-brain

Not addressed in the report is just who would own the cryptocurrency covered by this patent; but one thing is certain - Microsoft would own all the methods, so the miners at least would have to pay the company a fee for the mining rights.

I always thought a patent could not be granted unless a working model was produced. Apparently, for this kind of tech stuff all you have to do is imagine something and put it in writing.

A Synthetic Cell

Scientists have been working feverishly to create life in the lab. Apparently they have succeeded on a cellular level:

https://www.livescience.com/synthetic-cell-division.html

Eventually (how soon it's hard to tell) they may be able to make complete transhumans without the need for sexual intercourse, human wombs, or "natural" parents.

Some of you may think this would be a good thing, but I do not. This may be one of the more crucial steps in their plan to reduce Earth's human population.

And yes, there almost certainly is a plan. If there isn't, TPTB are dumber than I thought, and I really don't think they're dumb at all.
