Indeed the last stretch of our ride while waiting for the Rapture will surely prove to be a bumpy ride!  Satan will pull out everything he has in his arsenal against God and His people.

Franklin Graham alone was not banned, God was! Just another indictment against those who choose to rebel against God.  Apparently no one learned any lessons from the story of the fallen angels.

Were the angels offered redemption, no doubt many would have availed themselves of it!  Whereas when redemption is offered to humans, many still refuse His redemption.  Satan has done his homework, while many men have not!

Eek ... signs of the times ... robot “doctor” treats first person in the US with Coronavirus.  I don’t know about you but I would be totally creeped out seeing the robot heading towards me with a stethoscope, or checking my blood pressure or doing phlebotomy work. :wacko:

 

First Person with Wuhan Coronavirus in U.S. Being Treated by a Robot.  The robot limits the exposure of medical staff to the virus.

Interesting Engineering.com

We have seen robots do everything from parkour to helping with the elderly. Now, a nifty robot is being used in the U.S. to treat a patient infected with the Wuhan Coronavirus, CNN reports.

The patient is a man in his 30s that that checked in the emergency room because he believed he was experiencing symptoms from the Wuhan coronavirus. He was sadly diagnosed with the virus on Monday.

He had recently traveled to Wuhan and was worried about his symptoms. The doctors put him in isolation, and he has been reported to be in stable condition.

Robot doctors
So, where does the robot come in? Well, its role is actually highly important, as it is meant to protect medical staff by limiting their exposure to the virus. Equipped with a stethoscope, the robot takes the man's vitals and communicates them to doctors who are not in the room with the patient through a screen.

"The nursing staff in the room move the robot around so we can see the patient in the screen, talk to him," told CNN Dr. George Diaz, chief of the infectious disease division at the Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington.

Doing well
Despite being in a stable condition, the man has not been released yet. Medical professionals have ordered additional tests for the patient.

These tests are supposed to show whether the man is still contagious. In the meantime, Washington state health officials have been communicating with 43 people that are considered being "close contacts" of the patient.

"Close contacts" are defined as anyone who may have come within 3 to 6 feet of the infected patient. All such contacts will be contacted daily and actively monitored for signs of the virus

Robots to the rescue!  Having the technology, I say why not.  Just as long as humans still are in control.   Self perpetuating and robots growing in artificial intelligence scares me.

They have their place ... robots to dismantle bombs/finding land mine explosive devices, using them on the battlefield, etc.  I draw the line though with them being used in place of doctors, surgeons, dentists ...  The thought of them suddenly malfunctioning while holding a knife in surgery or drilling your teeth is daunting.

Which would be worse, human frailty and error or a technical malfunction?!  God can override them both!

I would still prefer human fragility/error over a robot who has no feelings.  Can you picture a robot not giving enough novocaine while drilling or pulling a tooth and you’re crying out stop but not getting any compassion from the robot ... and it says to be quiet I’m not done yet? :negative:

However I would be curious if the robot could instantly find my vein to draw blood.  Many phlebotomists use up 5 needles and 2 arms before finding my vein.   🙁

They look at mine and have to make a decision as which one they want.

February 10th .. and we have the leader of Sudan getting a sign from allah (aka satan himself) to have a meeting with Bibi ...

Call  me “Leery Leena” but isn’t Sudan part of the G/M team?  Could this be a trick for Israel to put their guard down to think Sudan is finally at “peace” with them now before the “surprise” Ezekiel attack? :unsure:

Leader of Sudan Agreed to Meet with Netanyahu After Getting ‘Sign from God’

Breaking Israel News
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz  February 9, 2020 , 2:26 pm

While in Uganda last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan who is currently serving as Chairman of the Sovereignty Council of Sudan, the country’s collective transitional head of state. The meeting took place in Entebbe on Monday at the residence of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. 

“A few days before I met with Netanyahu, I prayed to Allah, asking for his advice,”  Burhan said, relating the words of his prayer.

Allah, if this is a good thing for Sudan, please prepare our way for this. If not, send me a sign.’ God gave me the feeling that I should go and meet with him,” Burhan was quoted as saying in Sudanese news.

Israel and Sudan do not have official bilateral relations. Sudan is a member of the Arab League and declared war with Israel in the 1948 War for Independence.

“We did not discuss normalization, but rather [establishing] a relationship of goodwill with the entire world,” Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said in a press conference with Arab TV stations. “What happened in the meeting was merely a consensus between the two sides to halt all mutually hostile actions and positions. The meeting did not deal with the details regarding the form of relations or what is specifically required to [establish relations]. That is the job of the [transitional] ruling council.”

The meeting came one day after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo invited Burhan to visit the United States in a phone call. A senior Sudanese military official said Monday the Sudan-Israel meeting was orchestrated by the United Arab Emirates, another close ally of the US.

Burhan told a different story to western news.

“[Normalization of relations with Israel] will be good for Sudan,” JPostreported. With God’s help. All of these actions are in Sudan’s interest. We see others [that have relations with Israel], and even the stakeholders enjoy  it.”

Well, month two in 2020 has not failed to give very interesting highlights of things to come at a faster pace. Be careful who you speak against or you could have an unfortunate ending:

And we have our “first contact” from outer space, can it get any weirder?
