Amazon Rolling Out Mark Of The Beast Style System That Allows Customers At Whole Foods In Seattle To Pay Using Only The Palm Of Their Hand

Amazon One palm pay rolling out in Seattle at Whole Foods, grooming people to accept the Mark of the Beast when Antichrist shows up.

Amazon.com Inc said it is rolling out biometric technology at its Whole Foods stores around Seattle starting on Wednesday, letting shoppers pay for items with a scan of their palm.

Imagine a book written 2,000 years ago that perfectly foretells biometric payments attached to the human body with stunning accuracy, that book is your King James Bible. If you have an NIV, ESV, ASV, RSV, Good News For Modern Man or The Message, then you missed it by country mile. Your King James Bible tells you that the Mark of the Beast will be a biometric implant inside the back of your right hand or in your forehead. Amazon One just took a giant step, no, make that two Genesis 6 giant steps forward this week.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)

Amazon One palm pay is not the Mark of the Beast, but it is grooming you to accept the Mark when it is offered in the days following the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. Now that biometric technology is advanced sufficiently to allow people to ‘buy and sell’ using their body, it is a very, very short step to then putting that technology inside your body. I wouldn’t give you two literal cents for any of the modern translations, and I wouldn’t take 10 million in gold for my copy of God’s preserved word that lives within the pages of my King James Authorized Version Holy Bible. Where the ‘word of the king is’, and all that jazz, that’s the ticket.

“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJB)

Amazon to let Whole Foods shoppers pay with a swipe of their palm

FROM VERGE: Amazon One is expanding to its biggest area yet: the company is now testing its palm-scanning payment technology in Whole Foods, starting with a single store in Amazon’s home city of Seattle. The company has been using Amazon One payment technology in its Amazon-branded stores in the Seattle area (including Amazon Go and Amazon Books), but the Whole Foods rollout will make the most substantial expansion of the technology yet. The company says that thousands of customers have already signed up with Amazon One.

According to an Amazon FAQ, the palm-scanning technology analyzes “the minute characteristics of your palm — both surface-area details like lines and ridges as well as subcutaneous features such as vein patterns” in order to identify a customer, allowing them to use the biometric scan as an alternative (and, theoretically, faster) method of checking out than fumbling around with a credit card or cash.

Customers will be able to register their palms at kiosks in the supported Whole Foods stores, allowing them to associate a physical credit card to that palm scan. (Amazon One users who have already registered may have to re-link their cards once to be able to use them at Whole Foods.) And of course, Amazon One users will be able to link their Prime accounts to their scans to get the subscription service’s discounts when shopping.

Amazon One will debut at the Madison Broadway Whole Foods in Seattle as an additional payment option for customers, with plans to expand it to seven other Whole Foods stores in the Seattle area over the next few months. Amazon hasn’t announced plans to further build out the palm-scanning payment system outside of the Seattle area.

All of this, of course, assumes that you’re OK with Amazon building an ever-larger database of biometric information linked to its customers, something that some experts have raised concerns about. That’s particularly true given that Amazon’s data — unlike other biometric security systems, like Apple’s Face ID — is stored in on the cloud, rather than secured locally on a specific device.

Even all the way to South Africa. We even restarted our weekly radio Bible study on Sunday nights again, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.

But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. If every one of the 15,860+ people on our daily mailing list gave $4.50, we would reach our goal immediately. If every one of our 150,000+ followers on Facebook gave $1.00 each, we would reach 300% of our goal. The same goes for our 15,900 followers on Twitter.

New York City Skyline Turned In Apocalyptic End Times Nightmare As Smoke From Wildfires In Canada Render It Nearly Uninhabitable

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Smoke from hundreds of wildfires raging across Canada engulfed New York City and the eastern United States on Wednesday, upending the rhythms of daily life for tens of millions of Americans, creating a sea of ‘Code Red’ air quality alerts as far south as the Carolinas and prompting widespread health worries.

In a scene straight out of the book of Joel, or even Revelation, the ‘city that never sleeps’ has been engulfed with apocalyptic smoke, infused with an orange-red glow, that has drifted down from wildfires raging out of control in Canada. This is resulting in the worst air quality ever recorded in New York City, and at the moment, just may be the worst anywhere in the world. To you, this may look like an environmental disaster. To me it looks like a harbinger of more to come.

“And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.” Joel 2:30,31 (KJB)

Today is Day 1,179 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and what’s happening in New York City right now is right on track with Phase 2 of the Great Reset. This reminds me of the decree signed by the Mayor of New York City about rolling out that ‘carbon footprint tracker’. Hmm, there’s an amazing ‘coincidence’ with the timing of this plague of smoke and smog. So, you need to ask yourself are these fires accidental, are they coincidental, or are they intentional? (my money’s on the last one). Whatever the actual answer is, one thing’s for sure, things are absolutely not ‘back to normal’ or anything remotely close to that.

Apocalyptic smoke from wildfires in Canada engulfs New York City and East Coast, upending daily life

FROM MSN: Nowhere was the scene more haunting than in New York City, where a thick haze blanketed the Statue of Liberty, shrouded the skyscrapers of Manhattan, delayed a baseball game at Yankee Stadium and forced a temporary halt of flights into LaGuardia Airport due to low visibility. Mayor Eric Adams recommended people wear masks outdoors and canceled outdoor city events.

For the second day in a row, New York City logged some of the worst air quality of any major city on the planet. But that was hardly the only place to experience the eerie, unsettling and throat-burning smoke that scientists say could become a more common occurrence in a warming world.

In Philadelphia, as elsewhere, schools canceled field trips, moved recess indoors and postponed athletic matches. In Washington, where monuments along the National Mall sat shrouded in the afternoon gloom, commuters donned masks that for the first time in years had nothing to do with a pandemic.

“It looks like Mars outside,” said Dennis Scannell, the co-owner of a typically bustling but now silent baseball and softball training facility in Syracuse. The city’s Air Quality Index — a measure of outdoor pollution — registered 402 late Wednesday morning. Healthy is considered below 50.

In Binghamton, N.Y., the National Weather Service office tweeted about the dimming sky just before 10 a.m. “Sun is no longer visible, everything’s orange, the parking lot lights have come on,” it read, alongside a photo of the otherworldly scene. READ MORE

Due to the wildfire smoke from Canada, New York City had the worst air pollution of any major city in the world at one point Tuesday night, before dropping to second-worst behind New Delhi, India, according to air quality tracker IQair.

Apple Releases First Major Product Since 2014 The $3,499 ‘Vision Pro’ Mixed-Reality Headset That Will Immerse Users In An Alternate Universe

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Apple announced its mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro, on Monday during its WWDC developer conference. The $3,499 headset is its first major new product since the Apple Watch in 2014.

The unsaved person looks around and sees the stunning developments in technology and takes that as proof we are living in a special time. But nothing more. The Bible believer takes a look around and passes current events through the filter of the King James Bible, and knows instantly where they are on the end times timeline. We’re at the end for us, the beginning for them. Apple has some big news today.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

During the time of Jacob’s trouble, technology will fuse with the supernatural, and mind-blowing things will take place. But technology here at the end of the Church Age packs an incredible punch all by itself, even without the spirit of the supernatural. God is preparing the world to receive Antichrist whom He will deliberately release (Revelation 5:1-5, Revelation 6:1,2, Isaiah 10:5,6) as judgment upon everyone who will be left behind at the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church takes place.

Apple just announced its first major product since 2014: The Vision Pro for $3,499

FROM CNBC: The Vision Pro will allow users to see apps in a new way, in the spaces around them. Users can use their eyes and hands to navigate through apps and search with their voices. The headset can be used to watch movies, including in 3-D, with spatial audio, view their own pictures or videos, and play video games. It can also be used for work with video conferencing apps, Microsoft Office tools or Adobe Lightroom.

It will be available starting at $3,499 beginning early next year. Apple stock dropped about 1% after the company unveiled the headset, giving up gains from earlier in the day.

With a feature called EyeSight, the headset can become transparent or opaque to signal to people around the headset user if they’re immersed in an experience or available to interact. Spatial audio will make it feel like the user is totally immersed in the experience, including by sensing other items in the room.

The Vision Pro can also create a realistic-looking avatar of a user to use in the experience. The headset is made to fit different face shapes and sizes with adjustable and interchangeable parts.

The company announced several partnerships for the Vision Pro on stage. Disney CEO Bob Iger appeared on stage to announce that Disney+ would be available on the Vision Pro from day one of its release. Unity stock spiked over 20% and trading was briefly halted after Apple announced a partnership with the game development platform.

Apple has worked on headset hardware and software since at least 2016 in a division called the Technology Development Group. Monday’s launch is the culmination of years of development — some in secret, and some as public-facing groundwork previously released for the iPhone, such as depth-sensing cameras and software.

Apple and its Vision Pro headset are getting you closer and closer to this.

Environments let you transform the space around you, so apps can extend beyond the dimensions of your room. Choose from a selection of beautiful landscapes, or magically replace your ceiling with a clear, open sky. The Digital Crown gives you full control over how immersed you are.

Get Ready For ‘No Scan’ Smart Checkout Technology Powered By AI That Greatly Accelerates Our Immersion Into The Mark Of The Beast System

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Customers in 7,000 Circle K and Couche-Tard stores will soon experience near-instantaneous smart checkout via AI computer vision technology.

I walked into my local Circle K gas station earlier today to buy a couple of bottles of water and a pack of peppermint Altoids, and when I got up to the counter to make my purchase, I was surprised to find that there was no one behind the counter. Nobody. But what I did see was an enormous bright red display compelling me to place my items into the Smart Checkout system, which I hesitantly did. What happened next? All three items were immediately totaled and rung up, with a screen directing me where to place the microchip in my debit card, and in the blink of an eye I was done. What on earth just happened? Oh, you know, and it’s happening so much faster than you think it is.

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)

For those of us that were raised at the ocean and have experienced the power of the undertow in rough waters, we know exactly what’s happening right now. The Mark of the Beast System, which just celebrated it’s 30th birthday on April 30th, you call it the internet, is going through a major paradigm shift as the technology advances, and it’s pulling us deeper into it. The next time you go shopping anywhere, a WalMart, a grocery store, a Circle K or whatever the gas station convenience store is called where you live, look up over the glass doors of the refrigerated section and see the scanning and tracking devices. If you don’t see it yet, you will in the coming months. The Smart Checkout that I used today worked beautifully as advertised, all I had to do was set my items down and the AI did everything, the whole thing happened in under 5 seconds. Tick, tock, Christian…it’s almost flying time on Flight #777.

No Scan Smart Checkout Coming to 7,000-plus Circle K and Couche-Tard Stores

FROM RETAIL INFO SYSTEMS: Convenience retailer Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. said it will deploy more than 10,000 Mashgin Touchless Checkout Systems branded as “Smart Checkout,” to over 7,000 of its Circle K and Couche-Tard stores during the next three years. The AI-powered self-checkout system will improve customer checkout times as much as 400%, driving customer experience forward while allowing store staff to focus their time on helping customers.

The agreement with Mashgin launches the global deployment of the pioneering system, and represents one of the largest scale expansions of computer vision-powered checkout technology to date, the company said. It builds upon the successful deployment of Mashgin across nearly 500 Circle K locations in the U.S. and Sweden since 2020, as well as at Couche-Tard’s retail innovation lab store on the campus of McGill University in Montreal.

Referred to as ‘Smart Checkout’ in Circle K and Couche-Tard stores, the compact countertop device fits into the existing store layout. It uses computer vision to recognize items presented from virtually any angle and instantly ring them up in a single transaction. Customers place their items on the checkout system, which uses cameras to ring up everything in under a second. Shoppers don’t need to download an app or find and scan barcodes; they simply put items down, pay as they normally would, and are on their way in as little as 10 seconds – eight times faster than traditional self-checkout.

“We’re committed to investing in and scaling technology that sets a new standard for convenience with our customers and advances our mission to make our customers’ lives a little easier every day,” said Magnus Tägtström, vice president, global innovation at Couche-Tard. “The Smart Checkout system powered by Mashgin’s game-changing technology shortens lines, improves the customer experience and frees up our teams to focus on helping our customers. We look forward to introducing this new platform to stores across our network.” READ MORE

Is this a paid actor? Of course. Did we use clever cuts to speed up the checkout experience? Absolutely not. Watch to see how customers can check out in seconds at Circle K locations across the globe. Mashgin self-checkout kiosks are becoming common at Circle K locations across the country. And for good reason – Mashgin provides a fast, convenient, and user-friendly self-checkout experience. With Mashgin, customers can quickly and easily scan their items and complete their purchases without having to wait in line. This not only saves time but also helps to create a more efficient shopping experience.
