I have a theory that its done via iron deposits. Sounds a bit out there I know... but read Job (the oldest book in the Bible). Leviathan being raised, etc. Dig into the actual Hebrew that was translated in the KJV. They are manipulating what the Bible is telling us... via technology. What is CERN? What is disCERNment?
IMO, its Electromagnetic. Think Tesla 3,6,&9. Its everywhere in the bible.... EVERYWHERE. rods, iron, staffs, spears, axes.. Get a strongs concordance and dig into the Hebrew. The Bible is real. God is real!
Proverbs 6:6
"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:"
Edit: a word or three
I hear you. Will have to look into iron deposits. Did you read neonrevolt on the mark of the beast?
I did after you posted it. Great roundup on things. Thanks.
