Let us now speak plainly: this is not just a technological transition. It is the soft preamble to the Beast System. When the Man of Sin arrives, he shall not wield a scroll. He shall brandish a device. And many shall say unto him, “Siri, open to Matthew chapter 24,” and it shall be opened—but it shall not be understood.
Revelation warns of a mark without which no man can buy or sell. Might we also imagine a future in which no man can preach or teach without first logging in?
Already I have heard whispers of algorithmic translations—Scripture adjusted in real time to suit the emotional needs of the reader. This is not exegesis. This is exe-gnosis—the hidden, digital heresy of those who seek to code the cross.
Prescriptions for the Elect
Final Exhortation
Brother Weston’s concern is not misplaced, only mismeasured. We cannot afford to manage this issue with administrative restraint when apostolic urgency is required. We must not settle for policies when the times demand prophecy.
The Old and New Testament is filled with men who are sure that "the Lord spake unto me thus..." Evidently, they kinda take it for granted they deserve to be believed or that for sure it was really God speaking to them and not their disordered personality quirks.
If, in the NT, the Apostle Paul says he went to the 3rd Heaven and saw things he can't or is not permitted to reveal, then it must be true, right?
If he says " I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ," it must be true, right?
So it was and yet is still with the stars of the WCDebris to this day.
Here's a good modern example of perceiving the "cannot be argued" improbable and when politics and delusional religious beliefs mix.
Speaker of the Houe, Mike Johnson, Claims That God Prepared Him to Be a “New Moses”
"The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur. And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare but to wait. I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and the country at large.
Look, I’m a Southern Baptist. I don’t want to get too spooky on you, OK? But the Lord speaks to your heart. And he had been speaking to me about this.
And the Lord told me very clearly to prepare. OK, prepare for what? I don’t know. “We’re coming to a Red Sea moment.” “What does that mean, Lord?”
I started praying more about that. And the Lord began to wake me up through this three-week process we were in, in the middle of the night, and to speak to me. And [I began] to write things down, plans and procedures and ideas on how we could pull the conference together. I assumed the Lord was going to choose a new Moses. And “Oh, thank you, Lord: You’re going to allow me to be Aaron to Moses.” [In the Hebrew Bible, Aaron is Moses’ brother and a priest who aids him.]
I worked to get Steve Scalise elected. And then Jim Jordan. And Tom Emmer. Thirteen people ran for the post. The Lord kept telling me to wait. And I waited and waited. And it came to the end, and the Lord said, “Now, step forward.” “Me? I’m supposed to be Aaron.”
“Only God saw the path through the roiling sea,” he concluded.
===========================
I have no doubt Mike Johnson is sincere. Or at least I hope so.
It has to be some kind of high to imagine the gods or THE GOD has noticed your potential to fulfill His and end time needs. Dave Pack has latched on to the fact that God even named him "David Passover" and that he sees himself in just about every important Biblical character predicted in the scriptures. Why he is even amazed in his name being "David" like Bible David and now, whenever he reads "David" in the scriptures, it's really him! It can't be just a coincidence. It's impossible and, frankly, cannot be argued with. It is inarguable.
But yet it is delusional theology and belief.
Johnson's speech drew criticism online from figures like Mary Trump, the estranged niece of former President Donald Trump who is a frequent critic of conservative politicians.
"If Mike Johnson doesn't believe this, he's a manipulative cynic," Mary Trump wrote on X. "If he does, he's psychotic. Either way, he's a massive megalomaniac. If he wants to pretend he's Moses, he can start by removing himself to the desert for 40 years."
David Cay Johnston, an investigative journalist and author of the book, The Making of Donald Trump, also called Johnson's speech "deeply disturbing".
Same comments for the WCDebris , Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, Ron Weinland, Bob Thiel and all the assorted Prophets, Priests, Elijahs to Come, Messengers of Covenants, That Prophets and multiple copies of the Two Witnesses yet to be revealed.
Of course, no God spoke to anyone, but it plays well to some. Not to many actually for it smacks of self-serving mental health issues which seem to show up more readily in those seeking power, money and authority over others.
I have noted over the years that it is much easier for a man with mental health issues and possible personality disorders to hide in a church than to hide in a secular workplace. The quirkiness and even authoritarian tendencies seem like some kind of deeply spiritual superiority and conversion others just can't attain to. It is not. It is a man hiding in a church with mental health issues and probable personality disorders undiagnosed saying and doing ridiculous things.
When they do it often enough, you kinda get used to it and forget it's nonsense.
It seems politicians and preachers are particularly prone to this problem. It plays well to the less than critically thinking.
Jeremiah, for all his depressive perspectives seems to at least understand the truth of his own times.
Jeremiah 23:21
“I have not sent these prophets, yet they run around claiming to speak for me. I have given them no message, yet they go on prophesying.
May I suggest Dave Pack, Ron Weinland, Gerald Flurry and Bob Thiel, join On and On Anonymous and talk it out with other like-minded delusional religious addicts?

Weston goes on to declare below that there may be "...potential unintended consequences before it is too late to “get the cows back in the barn."
Greetings from Charlotte,
We held an hour-and-a-half online meeting for ministers worldwide on Wednesday. Mr. Rod McNair addressed several procedural subjects for our ministry. Dr. Douglas Winnail addressed what it means to be a “Pastor Emeritus,” whether or not we can use gluten-free bread for Passover, and circumcision. I spoke about how to deal with remote GOTOs and the use of electronic Bibles in preaching.
On that subject, I acknowledged that electronic Bibles are powerful tools we can use in studying the Bible, and there are situations where it may be necessary to use them from the pulpit, such as when one has bad eyesight or is preaching in a congregation with poor lighting. But there are likely to be unintended consequences. Those of us who have studied the Bible for decades have a foundation that we may not fully appreciate when it comes to how the Bible is laid out and fits together. Those cutting their teeth on electronic Bibles most likely do not have the same overview. They may be able to jump back and forth from one translation to another—and this can be a wonderful study tool—but are they building a firm foundation on a recommended translation? Only now, after “the cows are out of the barn,” have we learned the dangers of social media—even from some of the executives behind it. We need to consider potential unintended consequences before it is too late to “get the cows back in the barn.” That is why I have asked our ministry to use a hard-copy Bible from the pulpit except in those cases that present rare and legitimate exceptions.

1. The evil demon, however, being unable to tear certain others from their allegiance to the Christ of God, yet found them susceptible in a different direction, and so brought them over to his own purposes. The ancients quite properly called these men Ebionites, because they held poor and mean opinions concerning Christ.
2. For they considered him a plain and common man, who was justified only because of his superior virtue, and who was the fruit of the intercourse of a man with Mary. In their opinion the observance of the ceremonial law was altogether necessary, on the ground that they could not be saved by faith in Christ alone and by a corresponding life.
3. There were others, however, besides them, that were of the same name, but avoided the strange and absurd beliefs of the former, and did not deny that the Lord was born of a virgin and of the Holy Spirit. But nevertheless, inasmuch as they also refused to acknowledge that he pre-existed, being God, Word, and Wisdom, they turned aside into the impiety of the former, especially when they, like them, endeavored to observe strictly the bodily worship of the law.
4. These men, moreover, thought that it was necessary to reject all the epistles of the apostle, whom they called an apostate from the law; and they used only the so-called Gospel according to the Hebrews and made small account of the rest.
5. The Sabbath and the rest of the discipline of the Jews they observed just like them, but at the same time, like us, they celebrated the Lord's days as a memorial of the resurrection of the Saviour.
6. Wherefore, in consequence of such a course they received the name of Ebionites, which signified the poverty of their understanding. For this is the name by which a poor man is called among the Hebrews.
(See Church History, Book 3, Chapter 27, "The Heresy of the Ebionites")
