Obama might appear on your wrist. The Smartwatch will be just centimeters away from your hand.
Apple CEO Tim Cook hails the device, which can make and receive calls, as “the most personal device we have ever created”.
Cook has claimed the company’s new smartwatch is the “most advanced timepiece ever created”, as he revealed more details about the technology giant’s latest device.
It will go on sale in the US, Britain and China on 24 April, with pre orders taken from 10 April.
The main Apple Watch will start at £479 and go up to £519.
The Sport incarnation of the device will start at £299 for the 38mm face, and the 42mm version is £339. The high end model, a limited edition 18 carat gold watch, will set you back at least £8,000 with prices rising to £13,500 – a revelation that drew gasps from the crowd that gathered for the announcement.

My comment:
We will be told that without the SmartWatch, we are simple lost. Without it, we can not buy and sell, purchase and enjoy!.. Just like the book of Revelation has predicted.
When people reject the messages in the Bible, they are defenseless against the tricks of Satan and his children. All the lovers of the World will continue to accept that the Globe shall move ahed towards the cashless society.
The politicians do their best to help corporations like Apple. You will soon be refused accsess to governmental services if you do not use the final end game tool. It will not be a smartwatch, because this tool can breake apart or being stolen. The last and final electronic divise will be like an invisible mark on your skinn. Today, you are just led into addictions to this kind of technology, that “no one can live without!..”
You will get the final mark on your hand or on your forehead.
People who use cash are slowly being criminalized. All are expected to be yoked to the big IT-corporates, and base their whole life on electronic, traceable transactions. 2.000 years ago, this was foretold by a Prophet.
Revelation 13:15-18.
The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Everything is controlled and numeric. It is all about a number, that will eventually be disclosed as the name of the last and final antichrist. He will him self appear on the ultimate devise. And he will be hailed and worshiped by the multitudes, as the “global peacemaker”.
Are you still locked in on this broad highway to Hell?

News that matters 
Too funny, and they named the mark of the beast Apple, after the forbidden fruit.
Dear Ed.
Shalom,and love in Jesus.
Whatever the fruit was, it could have been an apple. And I agree it now looks like a funny coisidence. Since “an apple” has become so powerful. I have been using Apple computers since 1988.
Ed, the Bible does not say what the fruit was. Don’t be deceived. “And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But the FRUIT of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it lest ye die.” And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Genesis 2:2,3,6.
Dear nannette
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I agree with you. Funny how Catholic painters has presented Eve with an apple in her hand.
But please do not have a debate with Ed and others about different kinds of fruits. Focus on technology and end time deceptions.
I know the bible doesn’t say what kind of fruit it was. But the world in general associates it with the apple, and apple is very “of the world”. But Olive trees play a heavy role of symbolism in the bible, maybe it was an olive tree.
Dear Ed.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
I can not write this message, without using my Apple computer. So having an Apple computer is not sin, and will not make me take the mark of the beast. But since I read the Bible, I have become aware of the danger ahead. I have refused to purchase a “Smartphone”, so I can resist the offer of shifting my netbank over to my mobile phone. And I am not able to pay on the buss, etc, by using my phone. I will not use a “smartwatch”, even if it comes with an included gift of 1 million USD….
I have sounded the alarm. All Christians should pay attention.
I know what you mean, I just get a kick out of the symbolism. The Sun is another commonly used one, probably because it sounds so much like Son. They have Suntrust bank near me but no Sontrust bank, given the option I would chose the latter, I expect the penalties would be less and mabe pay more than 1% interest on deposits and less than 36% on loans. Sun worship is evil so maybe they’re not trying to hide it too much and be hypocrites.
Ivar, I wasn’t trying to pick a fight. The Seventh Day Adventist’s Ellen G. White said it was a pomegranate. I remember as a kid, they told us not to eat the pomegranate because it was the forbidden fruit. Can you imagine other cult religions saying the same thing with the apple? Don’t eat it, it’s the forbidden fruit! Silly huh? I think it is interesting the Apple computer logo has a bite out of it. No matter what the fruit was they are obviously shaking their fists at God.
I think it may be the apple, here’s why. Zechariah 2:8 For this is what the LORD Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you–for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye–
The forbidden fruit they weren’t supposed to touch, which started this whole thing. And touching the forbidden fruit “Israel” is where it ends. The apple of his eye.
Ed.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
You are persuming and speculating. Please do not derail this serious issue into a debate of what kind of fruit Eve ate of. It is totally besides the point of this article.
If it was an apple, God would have said so. The true story of Adam and Eve happened way before the law (commandments) were given. There was no Israel (Jacob) yet. They were perfect until they sinned in disobedience. Something I think is more interesting is the tree itself. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” Revelation 2:7 “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month, and the LEAVES OF THE TREE were for the healing of the nations. and there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him.” Revelation 22:2:3. The focus is on the leaves here.
Dear nannette
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
So you also like to presume and speculate around scriptures. Well, go ahed. I guess technology is a taboo. Millions of Christians are addicted to the latest technology, and do not see the writings on the wall. Many believe we will be raptured before the mark is revealed, so we do not have to worry…
I wasn’t presuming anything Ivar. I wasn’t even talking about the mark. I was talking about trees. It does not say what kind of fruit, that is not speculation. Fruit and leaves. Food and healing. In the Bible Believer’s Commentary it says of Rev. 21:1&2, “A pure river of water of life flows from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street. On either side of the river grows the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, NO LONGER FORBIDDEN. This suggests God’s ceaseless provision for every season. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations is figurative way of saying that they will enjoy perpetual health.” It seems like the same tree in Genesis 3:22 it say, “Then the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand and take also from the TREE OF LIEFE, AND EAT, AND LIVE FOREVER.” As for the mark it clearly says, “right hand or forehead” Not wrist. Even so the technology now can put a tattoo on your hand or forehead and put all the same info on it. Blessings.
Dear nannette
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
You are right. The technology is there. And the large majority of Christians have accepted it, and are slowly becomming addicted to it. It is like the frog that is boiled alive. Just put him in hot water, and increase the heat slowly. He enjoy’s the heat, and refuse to exit..!
That’s a different tree, the tree of life. The tree of knowledge of good and evil is the tree in question. God knows all from beginning to end, so whether anything was written or not, God could have had Israel in mind when God put the tree in the garden, and said not to touch it. The same as He says not to touch Israel.
Ed, Yes your right, it says so in Genesis 2:9.
Problem – I think – with the final mark is that they can ‘stole’ (=kidnap) me if I have the mark. I wouldn’t like to have such risk overwhelming my life.
The Bible simply tells us: “The woman saw that the tree was:
1) “good for food,” that is, capable of giving pleasure,
2) “pleasing to the eyes,” therefore alluring to possess, and
3) “desirable for gaining wisdom,” that is, enticing to give power,
“So she took some of its fruit and ate it” (Gen 2:6).
Eve did not bite into an apple, she
bit into the lie that she could short-cut the road to happiness by doing things her
way, according to her ideas.
This is a deception that many, many bite into today.
Notice what captivated her imagination: pleasure, possessions, and power.
There’s nothing wrong with it being good for food, pleasing to the eye or gaining wisdom. That’s just basic criteria for whether they wanted to eat any fruit in the garden. And the power of the fruit was no lie since after they ate it God says “behold, they have become like us” . I believe the sinister part is how the serpent subtly twists Gods word and causes them to distrust God. Sort of like a lawyer might do, he didn’t technically lie but worded it to deceive.
I find this funny how I came across this page today because my Bible Doctrines teacher just covered THIS SAME TOPIC today. He said (I am mostly paraphrasing),”So, even if the mark of the Beast is not a chip the size of a grain of rice, I just want to let you know, folks, the technology for the Beast is here, and Satan CAN use it.” Personally, I agree. The technology may, or may not, be what the Beast uses, but, it is here, and our eyes should be pealed.
Dear Chad
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Thanks for this comment. It is a taboo among Christians, because too many are already addicted. And will most likely not make it to the kingdom of Heaven. But will face judgment for their ignorance and love of the World.
He basically just said,”Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15.
John 2:15/16/17/18/19 relate’s to the temple being used for gain’money makers etc as in wanting earthly good’s and greed of man they were fowling the temple of GOD,If we take not loving the world in its literal way then we would have a sorrier world than we all ready have,i love what gift’s god has given me ie,nature it affirm’s to me his greatness ,i believe it mean’s anything of man’s doing in the world

My reply:
Since half of my family are Roman Catholics, I know their rejection of Biblical truths. They do it in the name of “Christ”. They say: “It is impossible to follow the Bible. Who can understand what Jesus said?”.
Jesus told us to hate sin, hate the wordly views and philosopical attitudes of our own family members to the core of our souls:
Luke 14:26
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.
Many people pretend that they have never read this. Others reject the Scriptures, and claims it must mean something else.
The fatal error of Loving the World, is mentioned many places in the scriptures. We can chose to overlook them all, and do our best to avoid jugdment. But it will be a fatal trap and a horrible deception.
You do not love “Christ”, when you reject what He told us to believe and do. Than you are a hypocrite and a liar.
I would hate all,but why would JESUS want me to hate my child,he is a gift given me by god;I was told i would not have children and at 42 was given the most wonderful gift ,and i do with all my heart believe he was god’s will,only last night he told me he love’s JESUS and GOD very much we smiled and said always keep that in your heart,one of god,s law’s was to honor and love our mother /father
Idont think we are meant to hate ,we are just to put CHRIST first which is fair enough

Now you want me to believe in your opinion?
God hates sin. God hates idols. God curses people who worship created beings, mortal men and women. God will send several billon people to Hell because they trusted in mens opinions, rather than the Word of God.
James 4:4
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
consumerism drive’s the need to upgrade technology’i dont think the devil has anything to do with it.It’s our choice what we use and most of us wouldn’t be communicating with each other if it didn’t exist GOD gave us a brain to use to grow to develop.The mark of the beast is a spiritual matter not a technology based one and will not come of man.40 yrs ago every one was freaking out about bar code’s being the devil’s mark,really!Stop looking for sign’s GOD will let us know
*clears throat* Um, tell me of this time that people were freaking out over bar codes…Please? We’re not freaking out; we’re just saying, the technology is here, and Satan can use it. Also, making reference to 1 John 2:15b,”NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD”. The Bible isn’t asking you to become like those in third world environments, it’s just saying, DON’T LOVE THE WORLD. By the way, the mark of the beast is received in the right hand or the forehead. If you have the mark of Jesus Christ, you aren’t allowed to do secular business during the Tribulation period. Based on that, which is Biblical, I do believe that the mark (of God or the Beast) is in fact, a physical marking.

My comment:
Well, we will have to go back to the wisdom of Acts chapter 2 and 3. Claim to own nothing, and have evertyhing in common. The sooner Christians become parttakers in the good old barter trade, the lesser pain inside the Great Tribulation. Otherwise, we will become like all others, being led to the eternal slaughterhouse.
That is why it is better to be beheaded for your faith, than to bow before the antichrists. It happens today in large parts of Northern Africa, Nigeria, the Middle East and Islamic parts of Asia.
Yes chad back in the mid 70’s may religious group’s feared bar coding saying the no’s would break down to 666 it was an issue here maybe not where you are,as for the other comment that’s what i said not to love what come’s from man,the mark of the beast will not be known until the end day’s i do not dispute where it will be on the body and yes it will be a physical mark,Don’t know how old you are’but what’s with the throat clearing’do you remember the 70’s
All the pictures I see with people modeling the smart watch are wearing it on their left wrist. I suppose you can wear it on your right but most people wear watches on their left wrist. Just food for thought
Dear Todd.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Satan and his children are just trading the water. I dont think there is any of the smart watch buyers who will object to a shift from the left to the right hand. No one will quote the scriptures in defense of having the watch on the left hand only.
Well Ivar, correct me if I’m wrong please, because I do want to know what you are saying, but you wrote,”The sooner Christians become partakers of the good old barter trade, the lesser pain inside the Great Tribulation.” By that statement, are you saying that we shouldn’t use things like smart phones, credit cards, debit cards, etc. for buying things?
And, ROMMGIRL, mid 80’s. No I don’t remember the 70’s. That’s why I used,”*clears throat*”, because typically when I do that, I’m just saying,”This response should be entertaining.” I can’t believe people did that in the 70’s……….. basing an entire theory on bar codes and using the Bible to “prove” it with 666 is kind of…………weird.
Dear Chad
Shalom,and love in Jesus.
You asked:

My reply;
The day you can not use cash, but have to have an electronic devise on your hand of forehead to buy or sell, what will you do?
Makes sense. Currently, I am reading a book by a man named Dave Ramsey called,”The Total Money Makeover”, and he only uses debit cards and cash to pay for anything. I don’t use credit cards, or even debit cards (that is because I’m afraid I will get into credit card debt). I rather use what Mr. Ramsey calls “The envelope system”, meaning if I budget $600 in cash for food for next month, I get $600, and put it in the envelope. When I go to the store, I take some of that money with me, and of course, spend it on food. If I spend $600 that month, that is, if I’m not in the next month, I’ll just eat soup, beans, etc. so I don’t waste money. So I don’t use a smart phone or any electronic devise for buying goods (even though I have an HTC ONE X).
Dear Chad.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
The key to understand the World system, is ownership. If you claim to own nothing, you will have nothing to lose. Basically true Christians will say that we (as the body of Christ) shall have everyhing in common. We are caretakers of material things, that must be made available for the body.
The Christians are called to live a life of peace, and can best do this in a simplistic manner. Material posessions binds every human being. To much of it make all of us selfish and filled with pride.
Is it possible to live like they did in the book of Acts 2 and 3 today?
Yes, it is! The Jews managed to live like this for 40 years, after the state of Israel was rebirthed in 1948. Its called a Kibutz. They are still there. But today men love the world above everything, and wants to have posessions. They do not want to renounce ownership, and to share everything they have. Like the Messiah demands from his deciples.
It is unfortunate that there are people out there who will readily admit that they love money, their car, their TV, you name it, I’ve probably heard people say,”I love that”. Matthew, and Luke I believe, wrote about this. Let’s take a look at Matthew 6:24 — No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
(Mammon- earthly possessions of value / money)

Sabbath Shalom.
I have a lot of things around me. But they are not mine. They belong to Jesus, and shall be used to support the needs of his people. The moment I have “to much” I feel uneasy. There must be someone who are more in need ot this than I…
yes weird,but true,many religious group’s such as brethren refused to use computer’s,watch tv or mobile’s etc,but soon found that they needed technology to conduct there multi million dollar company’s funny bout that,
Yeah, kinda’ funny how that works, huh?
Dear ROMMGIRL
Sabbath Shalom, and love in Jesus.
There is no justifiction in the Bible to reject electristity, radio and TV. As long as you do not worship these items.
But be honest. Today, people will faint by the thought of being forced to stay off line for 48 hours. They would rather kill their mom, than to depart from their smartphones for a week….We see a devilish addiction. Youth can no longer count, reflect and even read. They only know how to chat.
We have reached the limit, the end of the age of grace.
I remember my teacher telling me stories about Kibutz when i was little she said they were wonderful communities and everyone contributed in one way or another
Dear ROMMGIRL
Sabbath Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Acts 4: 32-35
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
(end of scripture)
This is a Kibutz. There are still people who live like this outside of Israel too. Like in parts of villages in many nations in Asia. In Goa in India there are village communities who follow the old commuidade system. Where the villagers do not own the land, but leases it as long as they need it. The harvest is distributed among the part-takers. The legal owner of the land is the local village community. Not the state, like in communism.
Being honest,i grew up in poverty,i have learnt to go without,material possesions mean little to me
For me, the love of the world more than putting Christ first in all things. and we all know that the bible says, their is a mark coming and if not accepted , there will be NO way to eat, buy or what ever unless we agree to woorship the beast. all we hear today is how we look, how much money we have etc. all I want is Christ . we choose one or the other. We are warned to stay in the word and pray without cheasing so we won’t become confused. and as far as the apple, the main thing is: they disobeyed G-d and believe man over G-d word. one thing that will never change is we have nothing to boast about but Christ Crusified who died for us and our sins, when the disciples said: what must we do to be saved: Yeshua said: JUST BELIEVE. and that IF you love ME you will follow me and keep my commands. they are our school master of what sin is. another thing Christ said was , in the Genesis 12:3..those who do not bless Israel is cursed….and even those who do not hate or love HER is accursed. that in scripture is all thru the word of G-d from Genesis thru Rev. I say and so does the bible. do not bite into the apple (sin) and obey G-d because HE SAY SO..and HE says, My sheepe follow ME beause the love me..anyone looking over the times of how Noah was..sees what was going on there. ane now like G-d says is the endtimes will be. so bottom line..do we believe G-d or Man…I say, get into the word which is the only way to be saved. looking at the great aposty is growing as they turn their churches agaisnt Almlighty G-d , even to say gay that being gay is ok along with interpeting the scripture the man s way instead of G-ds..but G-d tells us who will NOT see the Kingdom of G-d and HE means what HE says..so,,take your pick ,,is it G-d we believe and serve or man..I pray you ask fpr forgiveness and start serving G-d , time is all but up…
Choose today, who you will serve. loving your church no matter what it says, more than G-d, anyone who thinks a church saves is dead wrong..today is the day of Salvation ..I pray they all put Christ over any thing..shalom
