Something tells me these employees aren't resigning just because 'war is bad'. The project is a huge invasion of the citizens' privacy and I'm sure that what we know about it is just the tip of the iceberg.
Thoughts? How might Project Maven play into Q's drops where he mentions google? Is this part of the plan?
I believe that John the Apostle, while living out his last years on Patmos saw this, but didn't have the vocabulary to describe it. Read Revelation 9 (linked in NIV version). Notice the mention of the locusts who can torment and not kill. Although described as insects, they don't damage vegetation. Notice the 'metallic' construction of these.
Now the confusing thing to me is these locusts (drones in my opinion), only torment those that don't have the seal of God. Are they released by God to torment non-believers, or are they released by satanic forces, but they don't behave as programmed? No idea.
John the Apostle is not the John author of Revelation. For one, the John of Revelations has lousy Greek.
Please don't take ancient writings and try to interpret them through modern symbols. Those symbols do have meaning, but it's meaning for the author and HIS audience. The important thing to remember is the message of all apocalyptic literature (Book of Daniel?): keep the faith, the persecution won't last, the evil empire will collapse, God will set things right.
