The coming of the 666 people
martus
16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and
slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so
that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the
name of the beast or the number of his name.
18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the
number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
======================
Know this 666 is represented by a square a line and a circle in
Hebrew, something similar will be on the 666 peoples forehead that
will connect them into this computer age by brainpower alone. Their
future is hell because they will be corrupted by this.
======================
Revelation 14
9A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone
worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead
or on the hand, 10he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which
has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be
tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and
of the Lamb. 11And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever.
There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his
image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." 12This calls
for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's
commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.

Intel: Chips in brains will control computers by 2020
Brain waves will replace keyboard and mouse, dial phones and change TV
channels
Computerworld - By the year 2020, you won't need a keyboard and mouse
to control your computer, say Intel Corp. researchers. Instead, users
will open documents and surf the Web using nothing more than their
brain waves.
Scientists at Intel's research lab in Pittsburgh are working to find
ways to read and harness human brain waves so they can be used to
operate computers, television sets and cell phones. The brain waves
would be harnessed with Intel-developed sensors implanted in people's
brains.
The scientists say the plan is not a scene from a sci-fi movie -- Big
Brother won't be planting chips in your brain against your will.
Researchers expect that consumers will want the freedom they will gain
by using the implant.
"I think human beings are remarkable adaptive," said Andrew Chien,
vice president of research and director of future technologies
research at Intel Labs. "If you told people 20 years ago that they
would be carrying computers all the time, they would have said, 'I
don't want that. I don't need that.' Now you can't get them to stop
[carrying devices]. There are a lot of things that have to be done
first but I think [implanting chips into human brains] is well within
the scope of possibility."
Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld that users
will soon tire of depending on a computer interface, and having to
fish a device out of their pocket or bag to access it. He also
predicted that users will tire of having to manipulate an interface
with their fingers.
Instead, they'll simply manipulate their various devices with their
brains.
"We're trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain
waves," said Pomerleau. "Eventually people may be willing to be more
committed ... to brain implants. Imagine being able to surf the Web
with the power of your thoughts."
To get to that point Pomerleau and his research teammates from Intel,
Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, are
currently working on decoding human brain activity.
Pomerleau said the team has used Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(FMRI) machines to determine that blood flow changes in specific areas
of the brain based on what word or image someone is thinking of.
People tend to show the same brain patterns for similar thoughts, he
added.
For instance, if two people think of the image of a bear or hear the
word bear or even hear a bear growl, a neuroimage would show similar
brain activity. Basically, there are standard patterns that show up in
the brain for different words or images.
Pomerleau said researchers are close to gaining the ability to build
brain sensing technology into a head set that culd be used to
manipulate a computer. The next step is development of a tiny, far
less cumbersome sensor that could be implanted inside the brain.
Such brain research isn't limited to Intel and its university
partners.
Almost two years ago, scientists in the U.S. and Japan announced that
a monkey's brain was used to to control a humanoid robot. Miguel
Nicolelis, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University and lead
researcher on the project, said that researchers were hoping its work
would help paralyzed people walk again.
And a month before that, a scientist at the University of Arizona
reported that he had successfully built a robot that is guided by the
brain and eyes of a moth. Charles Higgins, an associate professor at
the university, predicted that in 10 to 15 years people will be using
"hybrid" computers running a combination of technology and living
organic tissue.
Today, Intel's Pomerleau said various research facilities are
developing technologies to sense activity from inside the skull.
"If we can get to the point where we can accurately detect specific
words, you could mentally type," he added. "You could compose
characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen
or typing whole words rather than their individual characters."
Pomerleau also noted that the more scientists figure out about the
brain, it will help them design better microprocessors. He said, "If
we can see how the brain does it, then we could build smarter
computers."

More of the demented nonsense invented by Futurists
who wish to pretend that they have special wisdom
from God. <chuckle>
Now tell us all about how the Holy Spirit told you this,
even though many make the same claim and believe
that it is something else entirely.
And so, when that doesn't work because I asked you
to prove your claim, tell me how I, "just don't understand
the Bible". You know, the comment that you think will
make it so that you can escape from having to honestly
deal with the facts, when even you know as you say it,
that it is a lie and yet, you will still try to pretend that
you're being honest about it. <chuckle>

The following is part of my auto-rotating
sig file and not part of the message body.
The Last Days were in the first century:
Matthew 16:27-28
27) For the Son of man shall come in the glory
of his Father with his angels; and then he shall
reward every man according to his works.
28) Verily I say unto you, There be some standing
here, which shall not taste of death, till they
see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Jesus said He would return within the lifetime
of the Apostles. We know this, because Jesus
said SOME (at least one, not not most) would
be alive when this happened.
This is not the Transfiguration. There was no
coming with the Father's angels and no judging
every man according to His works and they were
all still alive.
This is not Pentecost. There was no coming
with the Father's angels and no judging
every man according to His works and they
were all but one, still alive.
Now see a verse that no one argues is about
His Second Coming and see that this is what
Jesus was referring to, in Matthew 16:27-28.
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward
is with me, to give every man according as
his work shall be." - Revelation 22:12

Implant enables direct alphanumeric input from brain to computer
by Kate Melville
Using a technique known as electrocorticography (ECoG),
neuroscientists at the Mayo Clinic have demonstrated how brain waves
can be interpreted to directly enter alphanumerical characters into a
computer. The team behind the findings, presented at the annual
meeting of the American Epilepsy Society, say the results represent
concrete progress toward a robust mind-machine interface.
"Over 2 million people in the United States may benefit from assistive
devices controlled by a brain-computer interface," says the study's
lead investigator, neurologist Jerry Shih. "This study constitutes a
baby step on the road toward that future, but it represents tangible
progress in using brain waves to do certain tasks."
The study was conducted with two epileptic patients who were already
being monitored for epileptic seizures using ECoG, in which electrodes
are placed directly on the surface of the brain to record electrical
activity produced by the firing of nerve cells.
To date, most studies of mind-machine interfaces have used
electroencephalography (EEG), in which electrodes are placed on the
scalp. Dr. Shih hypothesized that feedback from electrodes placed
directly on the brain would be much more specific than data collected
from EEG.
"There is a big difference in the quality of information you get from
ECoG compared to EEG. The scalp and bony skull diffuses and distorts
the signal, rather like how the Earth's atmosphere blurs the light
from stars," Shih explained. "That's why progress to date on
developing these kind of mind interfaces has been slow."
In the study, the two patients sat in front of a monitor that was
hooked to a computer running software which was designed to interpret
electrical signals coming from the electrodes. The patients were asked
to look at the screen, which contained a 6-by-6 matrix with a single
alphanumeric character inside each square. Every time the square with
a certain letter flashed, and the patient focused on it, the computer
recorded the brain's response to the flashing letter. The patients
were then asked to focus on specific letters, and the computer
software recorded the information. The computer then calibrated the
system with the individual patient's specific brain wave, and when the
patient then focused on a letter, the letter appeared on the screen.
"We were able to consistently predict the desired letters for our
patients at or near 100 percent accuracy," Dr. Shih boasted. "While
this is comparable to other researchers' results with EEGs, this
approach is more localized and can potentially provide a faster
communication rate. Our goal is to find a way to effectively and
consistently use a patient's brain waves to perform certain tasks."
Once the technique is perfected, its use will require patients to have
a craniotomy (a surgical incision into the skull). The researchers say
it isn't yet known how many electrodes would have to be implanted.
"These patients would have to use a computer to interpret their brain
waves, but these devices are getting so small, there is a possibility
that they could be implanted at some point," Shih concluded.
