 October 17 - Microchipped Population
 Article: Technology For A Global Monetary System

Comment from UTT:
 
The acceptance of chip implants for identification purposes continues to advance throughout the world. This is setting up a global end times society that buys and sells electronically fulfilling Bible prophecy.
 

Technology as a whole has taken up a hugely disproportionate part of our lives in the modern age.  The would be useful tools- if used in a rational proportion-  that showcase the 'genius of man' for all to see, have gripped the once dreaming minds of young and old alike and have disconnected us from one another on a scale which beggars belief.  What an irony that in the age of prolific 'communications advancement' we have largely forgotten how to actually communicate with one another, human being to human being, without the pixilated and fiber- optic mediums situated in between and disconnecting us ever further from reality.

 October 18 Pope Praises 'Religions for Peace'
 Article: One World Religion

Comment from UTT:
 
Once again Pope Francis call upon all the religions of the world to lay down differences and join together for peace. This would be a noble idea in a perfect world. The Pope plays the role as the peace maker as he believes all religions worship the same God. This idea is foreign to the Bible.
 
"I express my esteem and appreciation for the work of 'Religions for Peace'," Pope Francis said on October 18, 2017, as he received a delegation from the organization in a conference room near Paul VI Hall. "You provide a valuable service to both religion and peace," the Holy Father continued, "for the religions are bound by their very nature to promote peace through justice, fraternity, disarmament and care for creation."

 October 16 - Freaky Future? How Humans and Machines Will Merge Sooner than You Think
 Article: Transhumanism

Comment from UTT:
 
Read the following article to see what humans are imagining they will be able to do in the future to elevate the human race beyond being human. This unity of technology with biology is supposed to create a super race that humanists have been predicting will take over the world and relegate the God of the Bible to museums.
 
Humans and machines could be merging within 20 years through artificially intelligent nano-machines, injected into people to repair and improve muscles, cells, and bones, or to help us send signals to other machines.

 October 15 - AI implants will allow us to control our homes with our thoughts within 20 years, government report claims
 Article: Transhumanism

Comment from UTT:
 
The advancement of artificial intelligence is changing the whole concept of what it means to be a human being. This goes along with the humanistic agenda that humans can become their own gods and are not accountable to God.
 
Artificially intelligent nano-machines will be injected into humans within 20 years to repair and enhance muscles, cells and bone, a senior inventor at IBM has forecast. John McNamara, who works at IBM Hursley Innovation Centre, in Hampshire, submitted evidence to the House of Lords Artificial Intelligence Committee, which is considering the economic, ethical and social implications of AI.

 October 16 - Why Have Americans Stopped Reading the Bible?
 Article: Miscellaneous

Comment from UTT:
 
There are two truths that we can count on revealed in the Bible: the Bible is true and Satan, God's adversary, hates the Bible. These two truths help us to understand the statistics that are revealed in the following article and why fewer people read and believe the Bible to be true.
 
Ask the average American on the street if they read the Bible, and after they stop looking at you like you just came from another planet, they will probably say "No."  According to the Center for Bible Engagement, 93% of Americans say they own a Bible but less than half of those who identify as Christians have said they have read it cover to cover, and most Americans admit to never having opened one at all.

 October 17 - Majority of Americans, Third of Evangelicals Say Faith in God Not Necessary to Be Moral: Pew
 Article: Signs Of The Last Times

Comment from UTT:
 
The Bible teaches that morality comes from an understanding of the Bible and biblical standards. It is no surprise that the common view of the day would contradict this view.

A majority of U.S. adults and almost a third of evangelicals now say they believe that faith in God is not needed to be a moral person, a survey has revealed. The Pew Research Center reported on Monday that 56 percent of all American adults surveyed say they don't think that being a believer is a requirement for someone to be moral and to have good values, which is up from the 49 percent who said the same back in 2011.

 October 23 - Why millennials are ditching religion for witchcraft and astrology
 Article: Rising Interest In The Supernatural

Comment from UTT:
 
This article explains how and why the younger generation is turning away from the Bible and God towards witchcraft and astrology. This is exactly what we would expect from a biblical perspective as we understand Bible prophecy.
 
When Coco Layne, a Brooklyn-based producer, meets someone new these days, the first question that comes up in conversation isn't "Where do you live?" or "What do you do?" but "What's your sign?" "So many millennials read their horoscopes every day and believe them," Layne, who is involved in a number of nonreligious spiritual practices, said. "It is a good reference point to identify and place people in the world."

 October 19 - Pope to Methodists: Reconciliation is more than talk - it needs action
 Article: Ecumenical Movement

Comment from UTT:
 
This article documents how the Methodist Church seems to be next in line for ecumenical unity with Rome. According to the Catholic Church the actual goal is "full communion." The "separated brethren" are "coming home" which is the goal of the Catholic Church.
 
Marking 50 years of Catholic-Methodist dialogue, Pope Francis on Thursday told members of both traditions that when it comes to future relations, simply speaking about reconciliation is not enough - we must actually pray and work for it.  "This is the journey that awaits us in the new phase of the dialogue, devoted to reconciliation: we cannot speak of prayer and charity unless together we pray and work for reconciliation and full communion," the Pope said Oct. 19.
