The Evolution of Warfare

We think we understand war and how warfare is conducted and the weapons that are used. We read the news and follow various media. But there is a change in the wind. A very big one that many are aware of, but, are not fully cognizant of all ramifications. This evolution will replace all that we know about warfare. It has already started and we are in the middle of it now. It will get much worse to the point of overwhelming humankind. Warfare is changing! Read on.

First a Short History of Weapons in Ascending Order

Rocks

When speaking of weapons of war we can probably start with the first weapon and that would be the rock with which Cain killed Able. You may think that this is a tongue-in-cheek admission but I can assure you that Able didn’t think so. Rocks were the first weapons of warfare. They were extremely effective and easy to come by. The Israelite’s were very proficient with rocks, more-so than we realize. The sling that David used to kill Goliath was a very impelling weapon. In reading the Bible you will find that Israel won many battles with a sling and also by throwing rocks. In various extra Biblical books such as the book of Jasher you will find that Judah himself was feared for his strength and ability to throw large boulders.

Machines

War machines such as the bow and arrow revolutionized warfare. Other mechanisms would include the catapult, Greek Fire (probably a flammable mixture of: oil or petroleum and tar, sulfur, saltpeter, resin and calcium), and various siege machines composed of levers and fulcrums that could move enormous weight.

Knives and Swords

The onset of the Stone Age, Iron and Bronze ages brought about various types of knives, swords used as hack and slash devices. Many feel we should go back to those days being hands-on fighting would bring a stop to such gruesome ventures we have now. It didn’t happen then, nor will it now or in the future.

Gunpowder

This is probably the first explosive to have been developed and is often recognized as one of the four great inventions of China developed in the first millennium (AD) of China history. It eventually led to the invention of larger weapons of warfare such as artillery pieces, bombardments, cannons, rifles and handguns.

Aircraft

The Encyclopedia Britannica tells us that powered aircraft were first used in war in 1911, by the Italians against the Turks near Tripoli, but it was not until the WWI that their use became widespread. The ability to fly created a new kind of warfare where much more damage could be inflicted with little interaction between aggressor and victim. Aircraft were first used for reconnaissance then their use quickly spread to bombardment and eventually to air-to-air combat. Today’s involvement of aircraft also include: various rockets, ICBM’s etc.

Nuclear Bombs

Here we enter a new age with the development of Nuclear energy by J Robert Oppenheimer. This Nuclear Age developed weapons of mass destruction that can possibly annihilate the human race. Initially, optimistic experts touted that these weapons are so terrible no one in their right minds would use them. The key phrase being “in their right minds”.

Electra Magnetic Pulse / Bombs (EMP)

High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave Technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electromagnetic bombs) are technically feasible and available, with new applications being developed in both Strategic and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices can be used in non-nuclear confrontations. (from mister Google, click here for more detail)

The Next Step

Now we have computers and with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) where computers are making computers. AI computers, robots, etc. are gathering all knowledge of mankind including facts and behavior. This “Information Network” opens up portals where-by there is no limit to what mankind can do. This is what the Bible says about the tower of Babel and the days of Noah.

“Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” (Genesis 11: 1-7)

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” (Luke 17:26-30)

With the beginning of the computer age we now have one language and can communicate around the globe without difficulty. We even have Pocket Translators you can purchase on Amazon, that can translate English into 82 languages for only $249.00. I’m sure this price will drop with time. Don’t forget coupons.

A New Weapon of Warfare

Most people think that the most destructive weapons of war are those mentioned above. However, there are new frightening weapons, now in use, that can change the world of warfare considerably. The object of this weapon is the control of mankind itself. Control of money (our wallets), power (controlling our desires), behavior (what we can and can not do), purchases (what we want and/or need). In addition, and most importantly, these weapons can be aimed at the very souls of men. Warfare has changed! More about this below.

Note
Dan Brown’s most recent book “Origins” speaks of computers being the next step in evolution. Although a book of fiction his incite becomes prophetic.

What Computers Are Doing

Computers have greatly increased our knowledge and abilities in many avenues. I believe most of these are good. These can include: Media, News, TV, Advertising and especially in Education. The computer is probably the greatest invention of mankind and has promoted all kinds of righteous gains. However when it comes to warfare we see a huge change and the very things we call “good” are not being used for “good”. Information gathering and data harvesting is the next evolution of warfare and it is underway now. When computers become a weapon of unrighteousness, through the same Media, News, TV, Advertising, Education, etc., the ability of mankind to promote unrighteousness for personal gain has also greatly increased. This happens when these advances are used for “works of the flesh” promoting evil, sin and unrighteousness through false information, lies, advertising, pornography, etc.; the list goes on. It gives you desires for things you don’t need and are even sinful. It invades your privacy to the point of changing history to “suit you own passions” and changes definitions relating to morals and Christ centered life-styles for the same reason. It literally calls white black and black white. This is war and this warfare aimed at us.

Some people are even ditching their “Smart” phones and going back to flip phones that only receive and send calls (no texting)! I remember when our family had only one phone in the house with a party line, and we were very happy.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” (Isiah 5:29)

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) and you have another avenue for good and evil. It is said that Good always prevails. That is true, but not before evil leaves a wake of destruction and death of both body and soul. Scriptures say righteous will prevail.

“No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:17)

“Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:19-21)

This is what happens

AI is quickly becoming the buzz word for the future. The knowledge accumulated by AI far exceed mankind’s individual capacity for knowledge. As a result concepts like Faith, Hope and Charity become moot and Right and Wrong is replaced by what is most efficient.

And Don’t Forget “The Mark of The Beast”

“And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Revelation 13:16-18) 

Is this Mark Used Today?

Initially many feared that the use of Barcodes was “The Mark”. This thinking graduated to a popular thinking today that the COVID-19 vaccine is “The Mark”. This kind of thinking is totally void of reason and is propagated by small minded people motivated by fear. They don’t know the Word of God nor are they able to “Think”. (Click here to see my Blog on “Let is Sit Down And Reason Together”)  The Mark of the Beast comes after the Rapture of the Church during the Great Tribulation. We Christians will not be here. There is no reason to fear this mark. In fact the opposite is true. We should rejoice. These signs of the times show that His coming after us soon.

In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration said that Applied Digital Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the VeriChip, an implantable computer chip about the size of a grain of rice, for medical purposes. This ruling took affect on January 1, 2005. This Chip contains all of an individuals Medical History. This “Chip” can be implanted in the back of the hand or head. Proponents say, “It will save many lives”. The success of the Chip has been problematic and the technology has since been sold many times. Could this lead to the “Mark”? Absolutely, yes. But why fear, the end is coming and there is nothing we can do about it, period.

Note that this device along with many other inventions, are pushed, even forced, on the public in the guise of: Security, Protection, Convenience and a genuine benefit to mankind and our way of life. Definitely a lye in disguise. These devices along with many other systems exist to gather information, track and control our lives. The bottom line resides in Power and Money.

These chips are called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips. If they are inserted under the skin they are considered a Class 1 Medical Device and are subject to FDA approval. I say “If” because they are currently being used for many purposes: Credit Cards, Clothing Tags, Key Fobs, Passports, Hotel Key Cards and other tracking devices for packages, mail, rental cards, self checkout, toll cards, animals, “Smart” anything, you name it. Only when they are inserted into people, the FDA gets involved.

RFID’s are now being implemented in humans

There is controversy regarding human applications of implantable RFID technology including concerns that individuals could potentially be tracked by carrying an identifier unique to them. Privacy advocates have protested against implantable RFID chips, warning of potential abuse. Some are concerned this could lead to abuse by an authoritarian government, to removal of freedoms, and to the emergence of an “ultimate Panopticon”, a society where all citizens behave in a socially accepted manner because others might be watching. (From Wikipedia)

This controversy is also becoming moot. This technology is being used and our privacy is being infringed upon. Today, everything that we do on-line can be an is being used against us. Our laws are fighting this and loosing the battle. It is war.

There is a movie with Tom Cruse that you should watch called the “Minority Report”. The theme surrounds the ability of government to stop crime before it happens and arrest the perpetrators. It illustrates the “ultimate Panopticon”, mentioned above, very well.

Are Credit Card Chips Being Used?

Read this below from NPR. (click here for the original transcript)

Technology continues to get closer and closer to our bodies, from the phones in our pockets to the smartwatches on our wrists. Now, for some people, it’s getting under their skin. In Sweden, a country rich with technological advancement, thousands have had microchips inserted into their hands. The chips are designed to speed up users’ daily routines and make their lives more convenient — accessing their homes, offices and gyms is as easy as swiping their hands against digital readers. They also can be used to store emergency contact details, social media profiles or e-tickets for events and rail journeys within Sweden. Proponents of the tiny chips say they’re safe and largely protectedfrom hacking, but one scientist is raising privacy concerns around the kind of personal health data that might be stored on the devices. Around the size of a grain of rice, the chips typically are inserted into the skin just above each user’s thumb, using a syringe similar to that used for giving vaccinations. The procedure costs about $180. So many Swedes are lining up to get the microchips that the country’s main chipping company says it can’t keep up with the number of requests. More than 4,000 Swedes have adopted the technology, with one company, Biohas International, dominating the market. The chipping firm was started five years ago by Jowan Osterlund, a former professional body piercer.

Companies Are Gathering Your Personal Information and Watching You

There is a wealth of personal knowledge available about yourself of which you may be completely unaware. Have you ever Googled yourself? You need to, however, that is only the tip on the iceberg. Have you ever gone into a store and suddenly have a request for an App, or coupons for that store, on your iPhone? Your privacy has been violated. If you were to walk into an Apple Store to have your phone repaired you will be greeted at the door by a customer service representative. He knows your name, when you would arrive (having tracked you from home) address, etc. He may even have a picture of you, and know why you are there. And, he probably knows much, much more. This kind of information about us, the public, can be purchased by anybody for a price. Advertisers us it to know what people like to buy. Some people believe this is “cool” but, think, reason, and you will find out otherwise. It is an invasion of our privacy, warfare.

It Gets Worse

Take all this information above, about individuals, and apply it to a war engine wanting to attack our country. They know EVERYTHING about us. What we like to buy, where we shop, how much we own, whether-or-not we own guns, our education, families and all our weaknesses. We are now ripe for manipulation into the next step below.

The Ultimate Evolution is a Physical and Spiritual War

Follow again what I have written about above to see where this is leading us. Warfare and its weapons are no longer focused at just killing Man, Tribes, States and Nations but at destroying our very Souls. Its focus is aimed at the four major institutions of mankind: The Church, The Family, Marriage and our Educational System.

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)

“And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him”. (Luke 12:4,5)

Now we can better understand why Paul wrote about the weapons of our warfare in Ephesians 6:12. This is a battle for the souls of mankind, not just our privacy, freedom and security.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

This is not the future. It is not coming. It is here. We look at the moral decay of America and the Globe and say, “how terrible”. Yet, we have propagated it ourselves through accepting and blindly engaging in this World system.

Conclusion

I restate, warfare has evolved and the very things we have called progress, good, important and needed; have become evil. By studying this evolution of war we note that we have graduated from Rocks, to War Machines, to Gunpowder, to Aircraft, to Nuclear Bombs and EMP’s that kill the body; to Computers and AI’s, that are rewriting the Bible and redefining Righteousness, killing both body and soul.
