Cyber War

As we talked about in class on Sunday, the enemies of the U.S. know our Achilles heal...it's our dependence on electricity. Without our cell phones, text messaging, computers and refrigerators, our lives would literally become unhinged.

Last year we had an eerie foreshadowing of what happens when our cell phones go down. A cell tower was knocked out so no one had service in our neighborhood. Parents came out of their houses and looked around like they were lost. They couldn't get a hold of their children so didn't know if they were going to be on the bus, or if they needed to get picked up. They couldn't figure out if there were evening activities and they certainly couldn't figure out if their husbands would be late coming home. To make matters worse, a lot of us have disconnected our land-line phones, so without our cells....we were totally cut off from the rest of the world. Now imagine if that happened for weeks or months.

We have all experienced power outages during a storm, but thankfully they only last a few hours. What if they lasted a week? What would the cities do? How would the wells pump water? How would your toilets flush? How would you pump gas for your car? How would Cub Foods keeps it's freezers running? Quite honestly, we would be taken back to the 19th century in a matter of days. And to make matters even worse, very few of us know how to split wood, clean chickens, cook over a fire or gather food from a garden...all of which EVERYONE knew how to do 100 years ago.

Some may ask, "So Dennis,...why do you talk of such things? That is NEVER going to happen!!" I certainly hope not....but NEVER is an awfully long time. What makes us so arrogantly confident to think that the world won't hit the "reset" button as it has MANY times in the past...and on many different advanced civilizations of the day?

And in more foreshadowing of what will come, today we get this;

Massive attacks are under way against U.S. government institutions, the Pentagon, our financial institutions, your bank, and thousands of infrastructure systems — including our electrical power grid.

Already Homeland Security planners are worrying about terrorists and adversaries seeking to attack the United States - not with bombs and guns but with sophisticated computer tactics that could send America back to the dark ages.

So who would want to do this to us??

These attacks are coming largely from China and Russia.

Interesting!...the bible mentions these players during the Tribulation. Russia is currently a collapsing society that aborted 60% of it's pregnancies last year so currently has no hope for the future....unless they seek military conquest....which already started last year when they invaded Georgia. And they may soon invade the Ukraine.

China also has little long term hope as they have been aborting and killing all the baby girls in an attempt to control their population explosion. That has left them with millions of young men who have no hope of ever finding a wife, settling down and raising a family. History clearly shows us that young men with no hope usually pick up guns and bombs and go looking for hope in other lands....hoping to find some eligible young women to answer nature's unquenchable call.

The book of Revelation mentions an army of 200,000,000 coming from the East and crossing the dried up Euphrates river in a military conquest. The book of Ezekiel mentions Russia coming down to plunder Israel and seek wealth. Is this beginning to play out before our very eyes? Ask the Lord for wisdom and discernment. Ask Him to speak to you from His Living Word. See what the Holy Spirit says.
