Packs of robots will hunt down uncooperative humans


The latest request from the Pentagon jars the senses. At least, it did mine. They are looking for contractors to provide a "Multi-Robot Pursuit System" that will let packs of robots "search for and detect a non-cooperative human".

One thing that really bugs defence chiefs is having their troops diverted from other duties to control robots. So having a pack of them controlled by one person makes logistical sense. But I'm concerned about where this technology will end up.

Given that iRobot last year struck a deal with Taser International to mount stun weapons on its military robots, how long before we see packs of droids hunting down pesky demonstrators with paralysing weapons? Or could the packs even be lethally armed? I asked two experts on automated weapons what they thought - click the continue reading link to read what they said. Both were concerned that packs of robots would be entrusted with tasks - and weapons - they were not up to handling without making wrong decisions.

Steve Wright of Leeds Metropolitan University is an expert on police and military technologies, and last year correctly predicted this pack-hunting mode of operation would happen. "The giveaway here is the phrase 'a non-cooperative human subject'," he told me:

"What we have here are the beginnings of something designed to enable robots to hunt down humans like a pack of dogs. Once the software is perfected we can reasonably anticipate that they will become autonomous and become armed.

We can also expect such systems to be equipped with human detection and tracking devices including sensors which detect human breath and the radio waves associated with a human heart beat. These are technologies already developed."

Another commentator often in the news for his views on military robot autonomy is Noel Sharkey, an AI and robotics engineer at the University of Sheffield. He says he can understand why the military want such technology, but also worries it will be used irresponsibly.

"This is a clear step towards one of the main goals of the US Army's Future Combat Systems project, which aims to make a single soldier the nexus for a large scale robot attack. Independently, ground and aerial robots have been tested together and once the bits are joined, there will be a robot force under command of a single soldier with potentially dire consequences for innocents around the corner."

It's like science fiction becoming reality... scary, like the "The Minority Report" with Tom Psycho Cruise, remember the creepy "spiders" and the retinal I.D. implants. Such a technological endeavor employing "robo-squads" accompanied with the "666 Verichip Implants" (Mark of the Beast) in all humans under the Beast with each device's embedded personalized honing code will make searching for human fugitives a piece of cake.

I can see it now. You don't accept the "mark" / verichip and these robots will instantly deem you a uncooperative, the operator will then send in the stormtroopers in black helicopters to the GPS position to apprehend you for deposit into the FEMA camps.

If you are going into the tribulation period make sure to dump your cell phones, ipods, and blackberries, etc.

Revelation
13:14 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.

13:15 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.

These things will be used against you by satan's demons

They will find you .... no place to hide

Their mobility, strength, and killing power will be unmatched by any human cabability

lol this post reminds me of buffy the vampire and her team and then angel and his team angel once was a bad vampire but drinks pigs blood instead of taking on human blood he teams up with barf or buffy and her team and his team combine skills and go on a killing spree killing off bad vampires

it also reminds me of a movie i saw when i was in prison it was about this dude who has rich clients it was set in america what this guy does with his rich clients who are tired of hunting animals and want to try something diffrent he goes out to the streets picks homeless people what he offers them is $10,000 or $20,000 the money is put in a belt and he gives them the rules no weapons and tells them if they make it to the finish line the money is theirs he then wil ring one of his rich clients tells them where to meet him he has his own team who go on the hunt with the rich client they use high powered weapons the men who go on the hunt with the client have 4 wheel drives and motor bikes and two helicopters with sencor red set up to detect the human picked for the hunt

the dude that oppted to be hunted ends up turning on the hunter and he kills them all and then goes after the ring leader

i have been hearing this too but to be honest i am not scared if i am around and this happens i know i wil have god on my side i dont let storys like this scare me i am more concerned though for our women and our kids

i was going over what the romans did to the christians it made my blood boil what i was reading Jesus warns us that it will happen were we are hated taken captive brought before rulers and tried and killed


where there is a way ther is a will humans will work out a way to wipe these robbots out if they are being built for this purpose to be used

i just saw iron man last night brought it know to have what he made and to be able to use this technology would be a blast his boss builds a old duplicate that he used to escape and used on his own captors but the weapons he was making and the damage they can do think of damage the weapons he made comming to reality and a force off soldiers having these suits on where only the richest country has the know how and wil not sell these suits to other countrys

you can say you wil be the powerfullest country i thought what i could do if i had the now how to build a suit like that where you can fly at fast speeds and the weapons at your disposal knock out a mig and destroy the bad guys there bullets cant kill you you have the power behind you to wipe out an entire army that is freaky

On a more serious note...

Killer Military Robots Pose Latest Threat To Humanity, Robotics Expert Warns

ScienceDaily (Feb. 28, 2008) — A robotics expert at the University of Sheffield has issued stark warnings over the threat posed to humanity by new robot weapons being developed by powers worldwide.

In a keynote address to the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Professor Noel Sharkey, from the University's Department of Computer Science, expressed his concerns that we are beginning to see the first steps towards an international robot arms race. He will warn that it may not be long before robots become a standard terrorist weapon to replace the suicide bomber.

Many nations are now involved in developing the technology for robot weapons, with the US Department of Defence (DoD) being the most significant player. According to the Unmanned Systems Roadmap 2007-2013 (published in December 2007), the US propose to spend an estimated $4 billion by 2010 on unmanned systems technology. The total spending is expected to rise above $24 billion.

Over 4,000 robots are currently deployed on the ground in Iraq and by October 2006 unmanned aircraft had flown 400,000 flight hours. Currently there is always a human in the loop to decide on the use of lethal force. However, this is set to change with the US giving priority to autonomous weapons - robots that will decide on where, when and who to kill.

Others are now embarking on robot weapons programmes in Europe and other allied countries such as Canada, South Korea, South Africa, Singapore and Israel. China, Russia and India are also embarking on the development of unmanned aerial combat vehicle. The US DoD report is unsure about the activity in China but admits that they have strong infrastructure capability for parallel developments in robot weapons.

Professor Sharkey, who is famously known for his roles as chief judge on the TV series Robot Wars and as onscreen expert for the BBC´s TechnoGames, said: "The trouble is that we can't really put the genie back in the bottle. Once the new weapons are out there, they will be fairly easy to copy. How long is it going to be before the terrorists get in on the act?"

"With the current prices of robot construction falling dramatically and the availability of ready-made components for the amateur market, it wouldn't require a lot of skill to make autonomous robot weapons."

Professor Sharkey is reluctant to explain how such robots could be made but he points out that a small GPS guided drone with autopilot could be made for around £250.

The robotics expert is also concerned with a number of ethical issues that arise from the use of autonomous weapons. He added: "Current robots are dumb machines with very limited sensing capability. What this means is that it is not possible to guarantee discrimination between combatants and innocents or a proportional use of force as required by the current Laws of War.

"It seems clear that there is an urgent need for the international community to assess the risks of these new weapons now rather than after they have crept their way into common use."

Professor Sharkey's talk was at a one-day conference at RUSI in Whitehall on 27 February 2008.

Just over two years ago a scientific conference was held in New Zealand and a lecture was given by a visiting European University professor who described nanotechnology as "the future". I was working for the aging parents of this visiting professor at the time this conference and his lecture took place, and I learned that scientists believe it is within their reach to modify any biological function at a molecular level using "nanotechnology". Apparently extremely small components can be implanted in a body to control the atomic particles of that area and cause them to function in a desired manner. While medically this is seen as a major leap forward which has the potential to do away with the need for drugs and surgery, there is the concern that this technology will be exploited by political factions and commercial enterprises across the whole spectrum of human endeavours.

Without stretching our credibility beyond reason we can see how scientists could be persuaded to "make an image TO the beast" that could be brought to life by remote control or voice recognition.

Revelation 13:14-15 "And deceives 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 lived. (15) And he had power to give life to 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."

The beast with its 7 heads, 10 horns and 10 crowns will manifest its satanic power through politics, religion and technology, which in the course of history have always existed in economic environments shaped and tempered by their variable strengths, as personified in the champions of their day. In this context it is the man of sin, the son of perdition, the final antichrist who leads a doomed world empire to worship his image. This in itself is nothing new. Despots and dictators have demanded this of their enslaved subjects in most cultures at some point.

With robotics and nanotechnology at a zenith, to use an appropriate acronym...

I = INTEGRATED
M =MACHINERY
A =AND
G =GENETIC
E =ENGINEERING


could produce "beings" who would be looked upon as the crowning achievements of mankinds' superior intellect, but under the control of the antichrist they would become his worst nightmare.

Thank God for His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Revelation 19:11-16 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He does judge and make war. (12) His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. (13) And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called, The Word of God. (14) And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (15) And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treads the wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (16) And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

There is more truth in your thoughts than most Christians ever even think about. I read a book by Ray Kurzweil, The Singularity is Near.

He is an inventor and a respected futurist. Watch his stuff on youtube. He asserts that, by 2048, the first artificial intellignece will go online. That event will exponentially escelated technological advances beyond what is possible for the human mind to even image right now. All biological Life will be enhanced and replicatable with technological, artificial "life." Human life spans will be vastly increased. All medial problems will be immediatley and easily solved. All the powers that belong to magic today will be easily accomplished through technology. There is no limit to technological increase exept possibly the limitation of space and time. The world will "wake up" into an amalgam of artificial collective consciousness and biological life.

It sounds crazy. But the technology is already being developed all around the world. Technology is being developed on the microscopic scal. Soon, biological living cells will be able to be engineered from the cell's nucleus. Then, with the information being uncovered as we map the human genome, we will be able to mold our very genetics to whatever we desire. No more diseases, no more waiting for natural healing, no more medicine. All genetic repair, enhancement and creativity.

God may not allow this level of technology to be reached. God may allow it on the other hand. I think of the tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel
11:1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.” 8 So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

The Locust are the same locust spoken of here,,,,,Revelation 9:5 "And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."

God has given us a good clue as to how long Satan will rule as Antichrist. That time is five months. The book of Joel describes in detail how this method of the locust works. The result of that torment is exactly as the torment of the scorpion that "striketh a man". So try to understand more of both the locust, and the scorpion.............

This is that locust army of Satan that will deliver up the sons and daughters to prophecy against the Antichrist, as spoken of in Joel 2...........

Strongly agree with you Eli, this passage in Rev 9 is not referring to anything that is literal locusts.
Scripture should always be compared to other scripture, and not just interpreted out of our imagination and what we wish something to mean.

Saying that there are "fallen angelics" that are living under the river euphrates is just making up an explanation out of thin air and has no basis in fact. There is no way to prove this outside of scripture, and there are no scriptures in the word of GOd that would cause us to come up with this
interpretation.


THe Lord is referring to that which is mentioned in the Word of God:

Joel 2

1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, (Revelation 8 + 9, the trumpets sounding)
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the LORD is coming,
For it is at hand:
2 A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
3 A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness; (Matthew 24:15 -abomination of desolation-)
Surely nothing shall escape them.
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; (Rev 9:7 and Isaiah 31:1)
And like swift steeds, so they run.
5 With a noise like chariots (Rev 9:9)
Over mountaintops they leap, (Song of Solomon 2:8 (they imitate Christ))
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, (Rev 9:17)
Like a strong people set in battle array. (Rev 9:7-10)
6 Before them the people writhe in pain;
All faces are drained of color.
7 They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation,
And they do not break ranks 8 They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own column..
(they are all following the same false gospel)

Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not cut down. (the weapon is the s-Word of God and they do not rightly divide it and it has no effect on them because they preach a "different" gospel)
9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter at the windows like a thief. (the thief comes to destroy, as a locust detroys wheat/bread/the word - John 10:1 and 10:10)
10 The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
The sun and moon grow dark,
(Jesus is the Sun of righteousness Mal 4:2 Jesus, the truth of the word, is no longer the truth that is preached, but the truth is exchanged for a lie and has become darkened. The moon (church) reflects the Sun, but it too is now dark. Matt 6:23)
And the stars diminish their brightness.
11 The LORD gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;
Who can endure it?

A Call to Repentance
12 “ Now, therefore,” says the LORD,

“ Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the LORD your God,
For He is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
14 Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him—
A grain offering and a drink offering
For the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
16 Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;
Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
And the bride from her dressing room. (Matt 25:10 - And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.) 17 Let the priests, who minister to the LORD,
Weep between the porch and the altar;
Let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD,
And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
That the nations should rule over them.
Why should they say among the peoples,

‘ Where is their God?’”

The Land Refreshed
18 Then the LORD will be zealous for His land,
And pity His people.
19 The LORD will answer and say to His people,

“ Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil,
And you will be satisfied by them;
I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
20 “ But I will remove far from you the northern army,
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back toward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done monstrous things.”
21 Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the LORD has done marvelous things!
22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the LORD your God;
For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.
24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,
And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
25 “ So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
(Revelation 9:3 Then out if the smoke locusts came upon the earth. The plague of "locusts" destroyed the wheat in the days of pharoah, and is now (spiritually speaking) destroying the wheat that is the bread of the word of God. The wheat now is false teaching and false doctrine and a false christ, an anti-christ)
My great army which I sent among you.
26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
And praise the name of the LORD your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
And My people shall never be put to shame.
27 Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel:
I am the LORD your God
And there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame.

The Word of the Lord proves itself and compares itself to itself.

Continuing to say that all of these things written in Revelation 9 is in regard to "fallen angelics", is
simply not verifiable outside of shear speculation and personal opinion and has nothing to do with the proof of the Word of God.

May Christ bless you,
Chris

I see that one on this post refers to the scriptures as “thin air” …. a “spirit filled” one at that

Revelation
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

I would say that “spirit filled one” has a leak …. or is filled with something else

Like maybe the latter rain hersey teachings
Latter Rain Adam
Don't feel bad Spiritfilledone. Stephen already tagged and bagged me as a follower of the latter rain hersey teachings.

Don't bother to ask what that means. He will just warn you of following false teachers. He doesn't even know what the latter rain hersey teachings are.

No one said anything about the beasts in Rev 9. And no, they are not literal.

If the locusts are literal than Jesus is also now a lamb with seven horns, seven eyes and a slit throat.

Why do you pick and choose what is literal and what is symbolism?


Strongly agree with you Eli, this passage in Rev 9 is not referring to anything that is literal locusts.
Scripture should always be compared to other scripture, and not just interpreted out of our imagination and what we wish something to mean.

Saying that there are "fallen angelics" that are living under the river euphrates is just making up an explanation out of thin air and has no basis in fact. There is no way to prove this outside of scripture, and there are no scriptures in the word of GOd that would cause us to come up with this
interpretation.


THe Lord is referring to that which is mentioned in the Word of God:

Joel 2

1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, (Revelation 8 + 9, the trumpets sounding)
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the LORD is coming,
For it is at hand:
2 A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
3 A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness; (Matthew 24:15 -abomination of desolation-)
Surely nothing shall escape them.
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; (Rev 9:7 and Isaiah 31:1)
And like swift steeds, so they run.
5 With a noise like chariots (Rev 9:9)
Over mountaintops they leap, (Song of Solomon 2:8 (they imitate Christ))
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, (Rev 9:17)
Like a strong people set in battle array. (Rev 9:7-10)
6 Before them the people writhe in pain;
All faces are drained of color.
7 They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation,
And they do not break ranks 8 They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own column..
(they are all following the same false gospel)

Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not cut down. (the weapon is the s-Word of God and they do not rightly divide it and it has no effect on them because they preach a "different" gospel)
9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter at the windows like a thief. (the thief comes to destroy, as a locust detroys wheat/bread/the word - John 10:1 and 10:10)
10 The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
The sun and moon grow dark,
(Jesus is the Sun of righteousness Mal 4:2 Jesus, the truth of the word, is no longer the truth that is preached, but the truth is exchanged for a lie and has become darkened. The moon (church) reflects the Sun, but it too is now dark. Matt 6:23)
And the stars diminish their brightness.
11 The LORD gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;
Who can endure it?

A Call to Repentance
12 “ Now, therefore,” says the LORD,

“ Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the LORD your God,
For He is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
14 Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him—
A grain offering and a drink offering
For the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
16 Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;

Im not sure that I know what the latter rain heresy is either.

Without question, it takes a great deal of stretching to get from "4 angels bound at the great river euphrates" found in Rev 9:14, to:

QUOTE

All of them are described as fallen angelics who will terrorize the earth during the period



And this is considered sound doctrine???

If they persecuted the Lord, they will certainly persecuted His disciples (by things such as taunting, scorning and sarcasm when speaking to one another or simply put, mocking as you speak to me, stephen)

If they kept CHrist's doctrine, they will keep the brides as well, but if they did not keep His, then they will not keep ours.

And that is of course not limited to explaining the scriptures, it also speaks of how we speak to one another in Love or rather a lack of it.

The great multitudes seem to run to these false teachings of yours stephen and benny's as well.

I love you guys regardless, but the question that I would ask is this, if Jesus said that the way is narrow and that there would be few that would find it, doesnt that scare you in preaching things that the greater multitudes are following??

I go back to things that Jesus said like "a good tree brings forth good fruit and a bad tree brings forth bad fruit, whereby you shall know them by thier fruit"

The same can be said about doctine and where it leads people..

If Jesus said that "few" would find that narrow way, and the both of you keep speaking the same words that the masses are speaking, isnt it time to question where you stand??

Trusting in CHrist alone,
Chris
Spirit (of Christ) filled one.

The passage of scripture that SFO quotes is about the neo-Babylonian armies that descended upon Israel in the ancient past as the prophet describes them in symbolism

These things have already been fulfilled and are not revelant to the time of the end that is coming

A totally different condition will exist upon the earth when the Lord removes restraint and allows for open and literal satanic warfare against humans

By the way, Satan is the leader of the fallen angelics, an anointed cherub [angelic] himself who is coming to the earth, and he will command the others who will be with him

Revelation
12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

So was the king of Tyre and were the kings of Assyria

Satan influences and controls human kings

The coming little horn, king of the northern Middle East will be the same

But a bit different in composition

The Temple was built and all of the implements were made very specifically as God commanded and were used for many years by Israel.

The Temple has been destroyed and all the implements gone to the four winds...

Does this mean that this has all been fulfilled with regard to the Temple??

Christ Himself is the Temple! He is the showbread, He is the Menorrah, He is the Oil that is lit, He is the Mercy seat, He is the sacrifice!!!

So, the Temple (as well as many other items and events throughout the Word of God) was a shadow and a picture of things to come..

Well I agree with that; but also it's a spirit like 3 unclean frogs (according to Revelation)

But look at this passage:
Isaiah 14:16
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

Satan; I believe-and according to Scriptures- was always a man and simply masquerades as an 'angel of light' as do all of his followers.

PS: Some people just give satan way too much glory in my opinion.

"Of course I do"

Then why the rant about Lucifer?

And the related comment about my teaching?

Because "Lucifer" is a terrible mistranslation in the KJV. Lucifer is not a proper name. Lucifer is Christian mythology.
“How you are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, son of Dawn!
Isaiah 14:12. Look up the Hebrew for "Day Star" and you will see that Lucifer is not there. Lucifer is a Latin word for "Light bearer." It carried over into the English being transliterated exactly as Lucifer. It is not a proper name. It is best read "Day star." Or "Shining one/thing in the day/morning." See the difficulty in translating it?



If you continue to behave in this manner I will have to call you

"Eli the magician"

First "on the one hand" and then "on the other"

And then on the other, if I am a good magician. LOL 1dsz5f1.gif

THE SEVEN THUNDERS






Ancient Greek myth relays of the creation of an ancient technological robot named Talos: "giant protector of Minos island ". This is fascinating and fantastic, infact, too fantastic to have been a creation from a primitive ancient culture, but rather I think it is a surviving ancient recollection of some sort of technological achievement from a former global technoculture in a former Earth Age that became extinct from a transterrestrial cosmocataclysm, and the account of the incredible technobot was later mythologized by postcatastrophic survivors into our current Earth Age.

TALOS THE ROBOT

The first robot in Greece was the famous Talos. Made by God Hephaestus as a gift to Minos, king of Crete. It was a very big human shaped robot made of copper. He was protecting Crete and was taking care of the good function of the laws. He could run very fast and make three times a day the round of the island. Also, he could throw very big rocks against Crete's enemies, or burn them with his hot breath.
As the myth has it, when the Argonauts returned from Colhis, they managed to destroy Talos, with the power of Medeia's magic. Medeia managed to cause confusion to Talos that injured himself badly at his leg. Blood floated out of his injured leg from his one and only vein as a melted metal!
Another version of the same myth has it that Poias (the father of Filoktitis) shot an arrow at the leg of Talos and a bolt removed, letting 'Ihor'- the blood of Gods- flowing out!
A lot of coins with the figure of Talos on them were found at the city of Phaestos.
So, now you know where the name of a U.S. air missile came from: http://www.brookings.edu/projects/archive/...pons/talos.aspx



Here is the Ray Harryhausen version of Talos in stop-motion animation from the film, “Jason and the Argonauts”… (As a kid in the 60s I was just blown away by Harryhausen’s amazing stop-motion creations for film.):

"Because "Lucifer" is a terrible mistranslation in the KJV"

Makes no difference

One still knows who this is by the scriptures

Post your "corruption" idea and just where you obtained your information

How is this a "corruption"?

And who told you this?

You must be filled with something else or just think you are

The Lord's temple is gone, not to be rebuilt during the tribulation period

"The Lord is not the temple?"

Give me the scriptures .... what a rant

A millennial temple will be built for the Lord .... and He will not be "the temple" [Exekile 40-48]

Interpret Revelation 11:1 and all of the other descriptions of the Lord's temple as stated in Revelation for me

You say that the Lord is His temple .... show this to the readers

I think you are playing a game


Jesus is the Mercy Seat-

Romans 3:25
whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness,

Propitiation = strongs # 2435. hilasterion (hil-as-tay'-ree-on)

Propitiation = mercy seat

Neuter of a derivative of hilaskomai; an expiatory (place or thing), i.e. (concretely) an atoning victim, or (specially) the lid of the Ark (in the Temple) -- mercyseat, propitiation.


Jesus Christ is the Mercy Seat because: “He Himself is the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 2:2)

Jesus tells us that He is the Temple-[/b]
John 2:19
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy [b]this temple
, and in three days I will raise it up.”


The “showbread”

John 6:57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”



The Oil-
Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.


Anoint = strongs # 5548. chrio (khree'-o)

Probably akin to chraomai through the idea of contact; to smear or rub with oil, i.e. (by implication) to consecrate to an office or religious service -- anoint.

John 20:22
And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit”.
(Jesus was filled with the anointing/oil of the Holy Spirit)



Foundation:

Ezra 3:10
When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites,

1 Corinthians 3:11
For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.


No, the physical stone building of the temple is not going to be rebuilt, and if it is rebuilt it does not matter or mean anything.
Jesus is the True Temple because we are the Temple if we are a part of the body that belongs to Him

1 Peter 2:5
you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Galatians tells us that it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me..

The Gospel is not just knowledge to be learned for the sake of learning so that you can say that you are correct in your understanding of the scriptures, it is a living Gospel.
And if the message of the Gospel is truly living in you, which is Jesus Christ, the Hope of glory,
you would not be out to attack someone with belittling remarks the way that you are and you would not be so filled with the hate and bitterness that is evident in your speech.

2 Timothy 2:24
And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,

This is a fruit of the Spirit. I pray that the Lord would allow you to see and bless you abundantly.

In Christ alone,
Chris
