I remember that name, Grant Jeffery. I'm not sure if he was interviewed for a book or the host of a Christian talk show back in the day?
We should all be focused on the Lord, the Author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12
Does that mean that we should turn a blind eye away from the major turn of events occuring now? Every world power is certainly promoting the end of jobs with replacement by AI and robots. The Bible repeats the fact that certain events are yet to happen before the Lord's return. Do you think that He actually already returned the second time?
He was pretty high profile for awhile, books, talking tours etc.,
I think we should always stand against whatever seeks to enslave or surveil people because yes this has an impact on being salt and light and the freedom to preach the Good News.
Believe as you will, but I am very confident that the believers who first heard the words of prophecy spoken by Christ Jesus did not have to speculate, they knew what was the mark of the beast and who was the beast.
