200 Million Man Army

|
| I want you to talk about the passage in Revelation 9 that you write about in your book about a vast army of 200 million. | |
| What does that mean, Lieutenant? | |
| Yeah, most people will look at that and say that's just not possible. | |
| A lot of authors will talk about it as a demonic army. | |
| No, I don't deny that's probably that's part of it. | |
| I looked in the research literature and I found in the 1950s that Mao Zedong actually had militia, militias that were in excess of 100 million and perhaps 200 million at the time. | |
| They were armed and ready to do his fighting. | |
| And of course, he took advantage of ramping up nationalism and calling people at every village and town to participate in the militia. | |
| So historically, we have seen a giant army of militia mounting or growing to about 200 million. | |
| Now, that's what it says in Revelation 9. | |
| Now, are they going to then cross over the Euphrates or dried Euphrates and go into Armageddon? | |
| Well, and are they going to be humans? | |
| And I say that because if you watch what's going on in Ukraine, you see a lot of drone attacks. | |
| Some of those are made by Iranians, some by the Chinese and Russians. | |
| Drones are warriors to a certain degree. | |
| Some of them have artificial intelligence, make decisions. | |
| Now, who's the leader in the world in artificial intelligence? | |
| Unfortunately, it's the Chinese. | |
| They've invested heavily. | |
| And of course, whatever we do on AI is robbed or compromised to a certain degree. | |
| And so the Chinese are working on all sorts of robots. | |
| They're working on cyborgs, trying to make soldiers into supermen. | |
| And basically what they're doing is augmenting them physically and internally. | |
| The Russians used to, the Soviet Union used to talk about using all sorts of drugs to dumb down the consciences of soldiers before going into battle so they'd fight more viciously and willing to die. | |
| And so when you combine the technology, you combine the demonic, you combine the history, you can, I think, rationally come to the conclusion that a 200 million man army of demons and cyborgs and robots and drones and even a few human beings thrown in there is quite possible. | |

Prophetically Hard Understand

|
| Now, I can see that happening. | |
| Certainly, some people will take issue with that. | |
| Prophetically, it's hard to understand a lot of what's in Revelation in the general context of what we understand today. | |
| But I don't think it's at all out of the possibility. | |
