iPhones And Siri Are Getting Ready To Take Over By Integrating Into Every Aspect Of Our Daily Life

Apple’s iOS 11, with deeper integration of Siri than ever, suggests it hopes to make Siri capable of doing everything on an iPhone that we do now by touch.

It’s 2027, and you’re walking down the street, confident you’ll arrive at your destination even though you don’t know where it is. You may not even remember why your smartphone is telling you to go there.

“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 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: The progress and advancements being made now on smartphones, specifically the iPhone, are mind-boggling. But what a lot of people are missing as they embrace this new technology is the degree to which we are ceding control of our daily lives to our electronic minders. The Internet Of Things is now controlling our home heating and air conditioning systems, our cars, our finances, shopping, how we travel and our daily schedules. And that iPhone you currently hold in your hand is getting ready to take up residence inside your hand. Don’t believe it? You better. 

There’s a voice in your ear giving you turn-by-turn directions and, in between, prepping you for this meeting. Oh, right, you’re supposed to be interviewing a dog whisperer for your pet-psychiatry business. You arrive at the coffee shop, look around quizzically, and a woman you don’t recognize approaches. A display only you can see highlights her face and prints her name next to it in crisp block lettering, Terminator-style. Afterward, you’ll get an automatically generated transcript of everything the two of you said.

As the iPhone this week marks the 10th anniversary of its first sale, it remains one of the most successful consumer products in history. But by the time it celebrates its 20th anniversary, the “phone” concept will be entirely uprooted: That dog-whisperer scenario will be brought to you even if you don’t have an iPhone in your pocket.

Apple is busy putting ever more powerful microprocessors, and more wireless radios, in every one of its devices. Siri is getting smarter and popping up in more places. Meanwhile Apple is going deep on augmented reality, giving developers the ability to create apps in which our physical world is filled with everything from Pokémon to whatever IKEA furniture we want to try in our living rooms. All these technologies—interfacing with our smart homes, smart cars, even smart cities—will constitute not just a new way to interact with computers but a new way of life. And of course, worrisome levels of privacy invasion.

Apple’s acquisitions—it buys a company every three to four weeks, Chief Executive Tim Cook has said—tend to be highly predictive of its future moves. Since it first bought Siri in 2010, Apple has continued to make acquisitions in artificial intelligence—Lattice Data, Turi and Perceptio among them, all of which specialize in some form of machine learning. The company is reportedly working on its own chips for AI.

Apple’s preview of iOS 11, with deeper integration of Siri than ever, suggests it hopes to make Siri capable of doing nearly everything on an iPhone that we currently do through its touch interface.

Apple has also made many acquisitions related to augmented reality—the overlay of computer interfaces and three-dimensional objects on a person’s view of the real world—including Primesense and Metaio. Mr. Cook has said he is so excited about AR he wants to “yell out and scream.”

By 2027, the problem of bulky AR headsets like Microsoft’s HoloLens should be solved, which means Apple and others are likely to release some sort of smart eyeglasses. With their ability to convincingly supplement our visual and auditory reality, delivering information at the time and place most appropriate, they’ll occasion a cultural change as big as the introduction of the smartphone itself.

“What you’re going to see with all this augmentation is the psychology of using your iPhone could change dramatically,” says Ryan Walsh, a partner at venture-capital firm Floodgate who from 2014 to 2016 directed product management for media at Apple. “Instead of using your phone to get away from the world, you’ll use it to join in the world in a much deeper and more meaningful way,” he says. read the rest of this story at the Wall Street Journal

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: 11 Scientists Tied To NASA And Nuclear Research Are Now Either Dead Or Missing As Americans Ask Who Is Silencing Them

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

When 11 Scientists And Officials Tied To NASA, JPL, Los Alamos And Nuclear Research All Turn Up Dead Or Missing, Someone Has Explaining To Do

At some point, coincidence stops looking like coincidence and starts looking like a body count. Nearly a dozen scientists, researchers, contractors and officials tied to NASA, JPL, Los Alamos, nuclear research, aerospace programs and Department of War-adjacent projects are now dead, murdered or missing, and Americans are being asked to believe this is all just a string of unrelated tragedies. That may be the official line for now, but it is not a satisfying answer. When people connected to some of the most sensitive scientific and military programs in the country begin vanishing or turning up dead, the burden is no longer on the public to stop asking questions. The burden is on the government to prove there is no connection, and so far, they have just about nothing to say about it.

“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the likelihood that at least some of these people were targeted is no longer a fringe theory; it is a reasonable working assumption. Not every death has to be murder, and not every disappearance has to be connected, for the pattern itself to demand investigation. These are not random celebrities or social media personalities. These are high-level people connected to nuclear weapons infrastructure, space research, advanced aerospace systems, JPL, Los Alamos, and classified-adjacent government programs. If even one of them knew something dangerous, was preparing to talk, resisted pressure, crossed the wrong contractor, or became a liability to a hidden program, then the whole story changes from tragedy to cleanup. Until every timeline is released, every cause of death explained, every agency connection disclosed, and every common program, contractor, clearance, threat or communication examined, the public has every right to suspect that something very dark is being protected. Maybe some of these cases are coincidence. But all of them? That is getting harder to believe by the day. Today we bring you the conspiracy story gripping the nation, as well as Iran War updates, the turmoil in Washington, and news from around the world.

PEACE IN OUR TIME? President Trump’s Revolving Deadlines Expose A Department Of War That Is Much More Like Chamberlain Than It Is Like Churchhill

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Big Difference Between WWII And Today Is Simple, America Once Demanded Surrender, But Trump And The Department Of War Now Specialize In Empty Deadlines

What made America strong in World War II was not endless messaging, phony leverage, or recycled ultimatums. It was simple: the enemy was told to surrender unconditionally, and that was the end of the discussion. When Himmler came sniffing around for a negotiated exit, he was rejected. No games. No moving deadlines. No “last chance” followed by another last chance. No pretending that evil men could be talked into behaving honorably after drowning the world in blood. Negotatiate with terrorists? Not with the “greatest generation”. But that was then and this is now, and no one in Washington seems to have the foggiest notion of what to do next.

“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” Matthew 5:37 (KJB)

By contrast, what people are seeing from President Trump and the Department of War in the current Iran crisis looks, to many critics, like a theater of shifting ultimatums: self-imposed deadlines, last-minute extensions, threats of overwhelming force, then more time for talks, then fresh threats again. The Council on Foreign Relations described Trump announcing a two-week ceasefire just 88 minutes before his own deadline, and CBS reported this week that he extended that ceasefire after saying he would not move the deadline. That is exactly how “red lines” become punch lines. When a leader repeatedly announces a deadline and then stretches it, the deadline stops being a warning and starts becoming a bargaining ritual. The enemy learns that time itself is a weapon. Every delay becomes leverage. Every extension signals hesitation. Every reversal teaches hostile actors that Washington’s fiercest language may only be the opening act in another round of process.

UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain right before the start of WWII flew to Nazi Germany, for peace talks, and came back waving a piece of paper signed by Adolf Hitler, and he proclaimed he have achieved “peace in our time”. Shortly after that, WWII began, with Hitler mocking Chamberlain for his naive weakness, literally laughing at him. By contrast, when his replacement Winston Churchhill was given the opportunity to negotiate “peace talks” with Hitler, Churchill refused and said they would fight to the last man and die before that happened. Winston Churchill knew that “peace talks” are for losers who cannot win militarily. President Trump and Pete Hegseth over at the Department of War talk like Churchill, but they act like Chamberlain. What’s that you say, ‘peace in our time’? That’ll never happen if the Bible is right. But who believes the prophets and the Bible anymore? We do.

Trump Extends Iran War Ceasefire In Operation Epic Fury

FROM THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS: Trump announced an extension to the U.S.-Iran truce yesterday to allow Iranian leaders to reach a “unified proposal” in talks. The eleventh-hour move came as the truce was in its final stretch and marked an abrupt shift for the president, who earlier yesterday had reiterated opposition to an extension. While it staves off resuming large-scale hostilities in Iran and the Persian Gulf, both Washington and Tehran are maintaining their restrictions on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz while condemning each other’s actions. The United States boarded a tanker carrying Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean yesterday, while Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said today that Iranian forces seized two ships in the strait.Meanwhile, attacks in Lebanon and northern Israel tested the ceasefire there.

U.S.-Iran diplomacy. Trump’s truce extension came after fears of a return to fighting rippled through oil markets, sending the price of Brent crude temporarily back up to around $100 per barrel. Unnamed U.S. officials told multiple news outlets that the extension reflected divisions in opinion among Iran’s leadership as well as trouble communicating with injured Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. An advisor to one member of Iran’s negotiating team called the extension meaningless, though the team did not immediately give a unified response. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked Trump for the extension, writing it would “allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course.” READ MORE

The Coyote Ridge Corrections Center In Washington State And The Warren Correctional Institution In North Carolina Are In Need Of King James Bibles

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Behind Prison Walls At Coyote Ridge And Warren Correctional Institution, Inmates Need The Hope, Comfort, And Salvation Found In A King James Bible

The King James Bible has a power and a majesty to it that speaks with authority. It does not flatter the sinner, but it does point him to the Saviour. For the inmate who feels forgotten, the Bible tells him that God sees. For the prisoner crushed by guilt, the Bible tells him that the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away sin. For the man or woman inmate who thinks their life is over, the Bible tells them that new life can and will begin in Jesus Christ, even in the darkness of a prison cell, if they would only believe. This is what Bibles Behind Bars does every day of the week, this is why we exist.

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Psalm 119:9 (KJB)

A personal Bible matters because it becomes more than a book. It becomes a lifeline, the inmate can underline verses in it. They can write prayers in the margins, mark the date when God spoke peace to their heart. He or she can go back again and again to the passages that carried them through despair. That Bible becomes a quiet companion in a place filled with sorrow. It becomes the one possession that reminds them they are not beyond the reach of the grace of God. This is why sending King James Bibles into places like Coyote Ridge Corrections Center and Warren Correctional Institution matters so much. We’re not merely mailing paper and ink, we are placing eternal truth into the hands of souls who need it desperately. Your gift is giving light to men and women who are walking in dark places. You are giving truth to those who have believed lies. You are giving comfort to the broken, warning to the hardened, and hope to the repentant. Prayerfully consider giving today to help provide King James Bibles for the inmates at Coyote Ridge Corrections Center and Warren Correctional Institution. Your gift will place the scriptures into the hands of a prisoner who may be reading the words of life for the very first time. Come help us, we need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
