Behold He Cometh with Clouds

16.3.12 In this weeks podcast Leon looks at the Allegory of the long awaited return of the Messiah - the Son of God, compared with the Messianic promises of the Technocrats promoting Cloud Technology. While faithful Christians and Messianic believers have long awaited the return of the Messiah to deliver them from the wickedness and corruption of this world, the Technocrats promise salvation and life extension through technology - at a cost. 1hr 6min.
16.3.12 Behold he cometh with clouds - Leon Pittard 1h 6min.

Behold he cometh with clouds.

Most of you may recognize this statement as coming from the bible and referring to the return of the messiah.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,
To most Christians and Messianic believers this long awaited return of Yahshua the Messiah commonly known as Jesus is the great hope for humanity. The Bible paints a picture of the faithful follower of the Messiah longing for his return to enable them to escape the corruption of the world. Texts like:
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
This statement reveals to us that there will be many imposter's seeking to impersonate the Messiah. In fact the Greek text for Messiah is not a name at all but a title. This understanding leads us to believe that, there will be many that declare themselves as the 'Messiah' or as the 'answer' to the problems facing the world.
However most Bible students will know that there is one, who is planning a much more spectacular event, and that one if the Archrival of the Son of God known as Lucifier or Satan. once again the Bible says:
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
So this is consistent, that many would come saying they are the Messiah. We see that Satan or Lucifer or the Devil will be transformed - meaning appear as - an angel of light.
Therefore with this in mind. Understanding that the true Messiah - Yahshua (is his Hebrew name) the Son of God - the son of Yahweh (the true Gods Hebrew name) will appear to redeem his people off this earth. Now one final point here.
It is the conviction of the author that this redemption will happen at a time when the world is in a state of great darkness and at a time when all hope would seem lost.
Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luk 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
This time of trouble is yet before us and will proceed the deliverance of Yahwehs people. Notice Luke tells us that the Son of mna will come in a cloud with power and glory.
The other cloud.
But there is another cloud that cometh into the lives of humanity in the generation we live in, that is cloud computing.
What is the cloud? Well the concept is that all your data, your software, your imagery, your identification, your schedule, your calender, your banking will be stored in what has become termed as 'the cloud'.
PC.
Most people have a PC. This PC is known as a personal computer. the reason it is called personal is that it contains personal information that you do not want made available to outside parties or people. Over time the PC has replaced items such as diaries, photo albums, folders of every description that were traditionally used for the storage of all personal information. As time has progressed many people not store all this information on their PC and share it with others via a network of social mediums like Facebook or Blog sites etc.
The PC has traditionally been not only the storage but the engine to drive whatever you are trying to achieve. Everyone can relate to a computer that seems to take forever to load..sitting there watching a screen for endless minutes and hours waiting for it to do its job. You would relate to this statement: "I have got to get a new computer, this one is too old and tired." Just like a motor vehicle we tend to buy what does the job best for us.
Just as you enter this period of frustration, here comes the cloud. With the coming cloud it will provide the engine power for you to use. The selling point, is that you will not have to worry about the engine capacity any more as the cloud will provide that for you. Remember at a cost, and what is the cost? We do not know.

Sharing.
Those of you who have been in the Resistance for many years will remember getting a swollen envelope in the mail. Often packed with 20 + A4 sheets of photo copied information on various subjects, sharing the information that only come underground. This was the way we shared information.
Then we graduated to the Fax machine, and were amazed that we could send a copied page instantly to the other end receiver. Then came the concept of email, where you could send a number of pages and attach a photograph or another file to it. The success of sending this would depend on the engine of your PC and the dial up capabilities at the time. But today:
As an example, think of how we have to a large extent been drawn into the digital age. Think about sharing a picture with friends. Imagine trying to share a printed photograph today with 100 friends. You go to the photo shop and copy 100 copies and pay for them. Then you would purchase 100 envelopes and takes them home and address every one of them and then go to the PO and pay to post them. OR. You can send it to all 100 with the click of a button at very little cost and inconvenience.
So you will admit with me that information sharing has never been as easy and fast as it is today. Remember it is always at a cost. That cost is privacy. Listen to the Microsoft spin on privacy.

Software.
Traditionally computer users have owned all the software and needed to upgraded it as it becomes obsolete. This software upgrade inevitably comes at a cost to the consumer. This often causes frustration as the user will just become conversant with a product when he will have to learn a new system over again.
Imagine going to your computer and having available every programme you would need already available in the package you have paid for. The up to date text software, drawing, picture management, data base, phone book, calenders and dairies all integrated together. Without you having to link all these things up.
The selling point with 'the cloud' is that the consumer will never have to worry about dealing with the software issue again. You will agree with me that seems a very attractive proposal. For those of us who are involved with computer usage all the time you will understand the frustration at one programme not relating to another, well don't worry here comes the cloud. The cloud will solve all these problems for you. But remember at a cost.
Problems
We are living in a time where the human brain is being tied into a digital world. When we have a problem to solve we go to the computer. Many of you would relate to not knowing about a certain subject, so what do we do? we google the answer. If we want to find an article what do we do: we google. If we want to find a dictionary what do we do: we google. If we want to find out information on your daughters prospective boyfriend what do we do, we google. (is there any other way today. Could we go to the police for a police check. Privacy laws would prevent you finding out about him.) So for these example you can see how we are being ties into the digital world.
Identity in the cloud.
The extension to understanding what the cloud will provide is what the cloud will posses. The cloud will posses all that you are. It will contain every item of ID, every medical record, every banking transaction, every text document, every diary entry, every job application, your resume and job history, your energy usage, your picture albums, your email records and your voice records, your vehicle registration, your social club memberships, your church affiliations and membership, your attendance to any resistance events, protest rallies etc, your petition history, your communications with any government dept, your vehicle GPS history, your GPS history via your mobile, in fact a complete footprint of you will be in the cloud.
With all this information a complete profile is available to any who have access to it. This access is the question and most of us know that the government already do have access to anything they want online.
ID software.
The age in which we are living is blurring the personal and privacy realms. For example the cloud is promising that identification will become easy with the cloud. Facial recognition software is readily available.
Facial recognition
With Carnegie Mellon's cloud-centric new mobile app, the process of matching a casual snapshot with a person's online identity takes less than a minute. Tools like PittPatt and other cloud-based facial recognition services rely on finding publicly available pictures of you online, whether it's a profile image for social networks like Facebook and Google Plus or from something more official from a company website or a college athletic portrait. In their most recent round of facial recognition studies, researchers at Carnegie Mellon were able to not only match unidentified profile photos from a dating website (where the vast majority of users operate pseudonymously) with positively identified Facebook photos, but also match pedestrians on a North American college campus with their online identities.
The repercussions of these studies go far beyond putting a name with a face; researchers Alessandro Acquisti, Ralph Gross, and Fred Stutzman anticipate that such technology represents a leap forward in the convergence of offline and online data and an advancement of the "augmented reality" of complementary lives. With the use of publicly available Web 2.0 data, the researchers can potentially go from a snapshot to a Social Security number in a matter of minutes:

Keystroke technology
Then there is the keystroke technology that can detect who you are by your keystrokes.
By the way you type on your keyboard you can be identified.

Brain reading technology.
You may be aware that there already exists technology that can read the brain. This has been developing and is being employed in various aspects of technology today. Listen to this clip from the TED conference on how it works.

Summary
The cloud promises to provide the engine, the storage, and the gateway for your every day interaction with the world. In fact the cloud will be the only way you can interact with the world in the future. The social engineers have been busy designing a system that integrates every individual into a collective congregation. Making all one so to speak.
The cloud promises to solve all the problems of every day life, from traffic to instant communications, from banking to budgeted energy consumption, from hassle free software to integrated phone, PC and GPS. All will become one and you will not have to worry any more. Relax, the cloud cometh.
This integration is of concern to many. the integration of human and computer - or commonly known as Transhumanism. This transhumanism is the great hope of the enemies of Yahweh. As all know that this life is limited and subject to death. Only Yahweh promises eternal life through his son Yahshua the Messiah, which comes to his faithful followers at the 'appointed time.'
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Virtual world
While the enemy - Satan promises much he delivers little. His promise of eternal existence outside of Yahweh is through transhumanism - the blending of man and technology. His aim is that man will continue to live through a technology existence while his physical body is dead.
This is already well developed with 'virtual' environments being created where man can enter a virtual room or place and perform acts of wickedness under the cloak of technology. Just think, today you can enter a 'virtual world' and have a virtual identity and interact with other people that are there. They live in this environment also and they come and go, and you can interact with them as you would like to in the real world. If you want to kill, you can commit murder online. If you like the look of another individual you can commit sexual acts with her or him. If they do not agree to your advances you can rape them or torture them and continue living without any repercussions of any kind, because it is a virtual world you are living in and not reality - or is it? Who is committing these acts? Is it not the real you?
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Big brother.
To all that are listening to this podcast it is obvious that Big Brother will be sitting and watching all his constituents in the cloud. In fact he will be providing all the relevant information you need through the cloud.
Just think for a moment. You are going shopping (which he know about, because he has data on your habits) as you are about to get out of the car you get a message about a product that you like being on special at the exact supermarket you have arrived at! No doubt you will be encouraged to buy more of that item?
Imagine searching for a subject that is in question. Like say 'Fluoride' in water. imagine the search results returning a highlighted new study from an 'Independant Doctor' proving that Fluoride is now a nutrient, with impressive graphs and data to 'prove' his point. Many common people would go here and be swayed in their opinion thinking they themselves have investigated the subject. Where in reality 'the cloud' has given them exactly what the cloud wanted them to receive.
Imagine your computer slowing down and getting a message that your PC has been infected, but a link is provided to fix the problem. What do you do? The message has come from the cloud? You follow the link and 'fix' the problem? Unknowingly you have just installed a backdoor tracking component to your PC. The 'fix' is from Big Brother.

He cometh with clouds.
It is clear that 'the cloud' is offering everything to make your life better. It - the cloud will solve all your problems.
"Just switch off brain and go to work - I am glad we have a mega computer to do all the thinking for us."
While mankind becomes absorbed into the cloud and your full identity, habits, pictures DNA, fingerprints, facial recognition all become a part of the cloud, we need to ask the question:
Who is coming in the cloud to offer us - mankind all these benefits? While the true Messiah promises that: "He cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him."
The arch enemy is also planning to come in clouds that every eye shall see him, directing their every move in life, providing every answer to mans problems, providing every pleasure available. He Satan will appear as an Angel of Light. Yes the Angel with every answer.
The question is will you know the difference?
