Wasn't sure where to put this, so I thought maybe people would want to put all sorts of things they find out about here that show us how close we are to the reality of fulfillment of this prophecy from the book of Revelation. Just posting some parts of this article...way over my head, but sounds like something The Anti-Christ will be happy to incorporate into his short dominion. https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgwgjn/scientists-create-biological-camera-that-stores-images-in-dna ....“Here, in this work, we detail a method of capturing 2-dimensional light patterns into DNA, by utilizing optogenetic circuits to record light exposure into DNA, encoding spatial locations with barcoding, and retrieving stored images via high-throughput next-generation sequencing,” the team said. “This work thus establishes a ‘living digital camera’, paving the way towards integrating biological systems with digital devices.”.... ...To that end, Lim and his colleagues came up with a new technique that sidesteps the need to synthesize DNA by working with living cells from the bacteria species Escherichia coli that contain so-called “optogenetic” circuits capable of recording the presence or absence of light within DNA. The researchers projected simple 96-bit images—including a smiley face and the word “BacCam”—into specific sites of DNA of the bacterial culture using blue light. The images were successfully stored into the DNA, and could be retrieved with near-perfect accuracy by sequencing the encoded strands. Moreover, the team was able to use red light to project a separate image on the same segments of DNA, demonstrating that multiple images could be captured, stored, and deciphered from a single genetic sample. “To scale this workflow beyond a single wavelength of light, we incorporated an additional wavelength of light, doubling the amount of data that can be stored in a single, simultaneous capture and demonstrating the multiplexing potential of the system,” Lim and his colleagues said. “The results imply that the number of different images that can be stored in a [DNA] pool and retrieved in a single run is between 100 and 1000.” fair use for education and comment doesn't this sound like something Satan will love to turn to his advantage to entice and rule over people during The Tribulation? - the one who used to be a light bearer for The True Light/The Most High God's glory who now disguises himself as an angel/messenger of light but actually has no light in him- the evil one who is leading the kingdom of darkness into destruction and death... i could see him convincing people to take the mark- maybe a quantum dot patch that among other things will also put e. coli bacteria into their body that has recorded images made from light...by saying it's in order to "be enlightened" by or all "be united" by the false "spirit of humanity" within us all...show your loyalty by having these images...maybe "his word"....always counterfeiting the Kingdom of God... inside your cells or something....?? i don't know...but there's a lot of very strange and potentially scary dna etc. type technology/experiments going on...hadn't looked at any recently til today when I went to a link on Amy's news and kept exploring from there...yikes...can see how lots could easily be used for evil - not to mention lots of prideful/god mentality attitudes/hearts motivating these experiments I imagine... Well that takes the cake — so Escherichia coli (E. Coli for short) is in every human gut and mostly harmless but can cause a form of “food poison” — can also hold some beneficial attributes as well in conversion of normal gut flora. E. coli and related bacteria possess the ability to transfer DNA via bacterial conjugation or transduction, which allows genetic material to spread horizontally through an existing population. The process of transduction, which uses the bacterial virus called a bacteriophage, is where the spread of the gene encoding for the Shiga toxin from the Shigella bacteria to E. coli helped produce E. coli O157:H7, the Shiga toxin-producing strain of E. coli. So they will literally “shine” the mark from the inside out ——- and there again as I have mentioned satan is all about destroying the DNA of humanity and making humans into nonhumans. They cannot be saved at that time. The Father’s DNA which is imbedded in His children (born again believers) cannot be altered, it is His mark. education and fair use The Father’s DNA which is imbedded in His children (born again believers) cannot be altered, it is His mark. Tammie, do you mean if God's children took the vax, it won't alter their DNA? I always wanted comfort about not being harmed a lot if forced to take a vax or anything else that is intended to harm. Heidi, I take comfort in this promise … Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. and pray over our food After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. That's very comforting. Thank you very much dear Geri.
