I believe that any Mark of Beast System where no man can buy or sell cannot realistically be established worldwide until there is a worldwide communication system where even the poor and the rural people of the world have access. Since I live in a place where high-speed Internet is still not available or feasible, I keep on top of the news on any new high-speed Internet developments.<\/p>\n
If we are in the last days, as I believe we are, I really also have to wonder how there can be any totally controlled buy\/sell system in place on earth at a time when there are so many people in the world that still do not have access to electricity and communications.<\/p>\n
From what I knew, it appeared to me that a world buy\/sell system would not be possible until some new communications technology was developed. Up until yesterday, I did not see any such system on the near horizon. If you bear with me for a minute I will get to the point about possible communication systems that will fill the bill. First I want to give you some background information, you might find the information useful.<\/p>\n
As I said, as of right now, high-speed Internet is still not feasible for me. There is no DSL or cable available here and the present satellite Internet systems that are available are not much of an improvement over dial-up. They are expensive, they are not very fast, they are subject to interference by rain and snow and all the satellite providers put severe bandwidth limitations on their service. I actually already exceed their daily or monthly limits using my dial-up connection. Therefore, these present satellite services are not going to be the answer for me or the answer for 5 billion other people on earth that still do not have good access to the Internet.<\/p>\n
Recently I have been looking into Verizon because a workman that came here claimed he was getting good reception on his Verizon iPhone. I later found out that Verizon does not cover this area.<\/p>\n
While researching this stuff I came across a satellite terrestrial hybrid system that is about ready to hit the market place. It is called LightSquared .<\/strong> The lightSquared website says this system<\/p>\n “will be the first Open wireless broadband network using a technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE), the most widely adopted 4G standard in the world. Its LTE network will be combined with one of the largest commercial satellites ever launched, to provide coverage of the entire United States. This integrated LTE-satellite network is a world first.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That sounded exciting because it looks like the answer for my problem, so I checked into it some more. The $600 million dollar satellite is already in space and the terrestrial tower hotspots are now under development. They plan to have 40,000 hotspots across the United States all using 4G LTE. They say that this terrestrial system will cover 92 percent of the United States by 2015.<\/p>\n With this terrestrial satellite hybrid system, if you get in an area of the country where the land based system does not work the satellite system will seamlessly take over. The main difference will be slower Internet speed when you are on the satellite. They plan to market this Open system through various local vendors and that should drive down the cost of high-speed Internet for everyone.<\/p>\n About the only major bug left to work out in this system is that it may jam some GPS devices that do not have a strong enough filter to keep out the noise from the nearby radio wavelength that this new hybrid system uses. It seems GPS manufactures are the one to blame because they should have realized that this wavelength would be used someday. They should have built-in noise filters. Anyway, that problem is likely to be solved, the only question is who pays the costs for the filters and upgrades? Nevertheless, the FCC is not going to let them turn this system on until these things are worked out. Like all new Internet systems the big cities will be the first to have access to it.<\/p>\n (Update 2014.) The system was not allowed to go operational. LightSquared went bankrupt because the FCC ruled the spectrum they use would interfere with GPS devices. About all the investors have now is the part of the spectrum that will not interfere with GPS devices. LightSquared sounded great for Internet because Verizon and others will also have 4G LTE covering most of the United States 2013, so there is going to be a lot of high-speed available. However, satellite Internet has a latency problem because the satellites are in stationery orbit about 22,000 miles from the earth. So, it takes a second or so for the four-way trip that is required for data requested to get back to your device. That makes real-time applications like voice and interactive gaming about impossible. Also, since the LightSquare satellite and the other communications satellites are in stationery orbit they will not reach everywhere in the world, so although there will be these systems to cover most of the US they really cannot be the communication systems that solves the Mark of the Beast buy\/sell dilemma.<\/p>\n In my further research, I came across other satellite systems that are under development that actually does solve all of the problems and they are coming soon. One system is due to go online in 2018. It will be a system of 78 low orbit mini satellites that will cover the whole earth. It will be relatively inexpensive and the latency problem will be solved because each satellite will orbit only 1000km above the earth. In other words, these satellites will be about 30 or 40 times closer to earth than the stationary satellites of today.<\/p>\n Maybe the best way to describe this type of satellite system would be to think of the GPS networks of satellites but put high speed data transfer on them and have more of them in orbit. There will always be one or more satellites in line of sight for your communications device. Since the satellites are much closer to the earth they will communicate 10 to 20 times faster than the high altitude systems. There will not be the huge costs either, since the plan is to have 14 satellites launched on just one rocket. There will be coverage overlap and backup satellites so 100 percent of the globe will be covered all the time.<\/p>\n There is another satellite system going up around 2015 that is called the Outernet.\u00a0 The plan is to have hundreds of small low orbit satellites covering the globe. They do not expect to get around to Internet data until around 2020.<\/p>\n (Update 2014.) There are now other global satellite systems being planned that will have hundreds of satellites to cover the earth. One company is working with Google for the purpose of Internet service to everywhere on earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n These global systems put a critical piece of the prophetic puzzle into place because there had to be some kind of world communication system accessible to everyone – even the poor nations, before any literal mark of the Beast buy\/sell system could be implemented in the whole world.<\/p>\n It sounds likely to me that a global high speed data type communication system will actually be in place by 2020. After that, it probably will soon become integrated with the other more conventional high-speed 5G systems that are being planned. I do not expect the low orbit satellites to be able to handle all of the communications on the world but they will fill the void in the areas on earth where only satellites can reach.<\/p>\n So let’s assume that that the low orbit satellites covering the whole world are in place by 2020. It would still take time to do the integration with other high-speed systems. Low-cost devices powered by kinetic energy will also have to be manufactured so that even poor people without electrical power can access the Internet. At the rate that the cost of electronics keeps falling and are using less and less power it is very feasible that all people on earth will have the means to access the Internet from anywhere on the earth before 2030. I am sure the big charitable foundations will help with the costs of these devices and help bring this Internet capability to everyone on earth.<\/p>\n Then couple this communication system with a computer chip or code in or on your own body that gives you access to the world market place and you have everything necessary to literally fulfill the buy\/sell Bible prophecy system.<\/p>\n Therefore, I think before 2030, the only thing that the world will be waiting for to implement the Beast buy\/sell system is the decree by the False Prophet (the second Beast).<\/p>\n Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. I believe that any Mark of Beast System where no man can buy or sell cannot realistically be established worldwide until there is a worldwide communication system where even the poor and the rural people of the world have access.

\n12\u00a0 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
\n13\u00a0 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
\n14\u00a0 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
\n15\u00a0 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.
\n16\u00a0 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:
\n17\u00a0 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.<\/strong>
\n18\u00a0 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
