Realization of Prophetic Visions
By Philip Mark Ames
Creates Image of First Beast
Because of technocracy's great accomplishments
(some good, others bad), it is actually misleading Earth's inhabitants. In
fact, it has invented something which is now being produced on a mass scale by
its employees. What these workers are making is in reality an image of the wild
beast who had survived the deadly sword-stroke. John reports: "And it is
misleading those dwelling upon the earth... saying... to make an image to the
wild beast who had the sword-stroke and lived." What is this image?
What has been produced which people have accepted
as reflecting the mind of the majority? Democracy being an ideology, it is not
tangible. The "will of the people" must have some instrumentality by
which to express itself. People want to see the object of their worship. No
traditional type carved image would be adequate for representing the mind of
man. But technocracy has now created an image of man's mind which actually
duplicates the decision making process. The electronic computer has already
been installed as the visible mediator between the individual and the group,
the worshipper and his god. Yes, the computer is now being used for deter-
mining the results of democratic process. It materializes the ethereal
"consensus of opinion", which man has come to revere above all other
gods.
Science has discovered that man's brain and
nervous system are electrically active. Technology has developed the computer,
which also stores vast amounts of information in the form of electrical
impulses. It can compare these bits of stored data and make decisions. Yet,
though it is the image of man's mind, the computer is totally without emotion;
it is therefore very efficient, but also potentially very dangerous.
