I wasn't sure the best category to put this in--if Gary wants to move it, that's no problem. apnews.com/e8402f2faf934f7ab5419d4961d3dafe/Global-extortion-cyberattack-hits-dozens-of-nationsI've often wondered if God didn't have John record what the 7 Thunders are, in Revelation 10, because these were judgments on technology that would have thoroughly confused all readers up until they were invented. Knowing such things existed might even have compelled some people to try to prematurely invent these technologies. But that's just a hunch I had a long time back. Meanwhile, I think it's easy to see how a major hack job like this one could easily be used to start a war, or cause all kinds of other pestilences. The shutting down of Britain's hospital system, for instance--if that kind of thing were to go on for very long, or repeatedly, a lot of people could die.

Things like this can suddenly make places like North Korea and Iran very powerful if their enemies are distracted or disabled with this type of attack. The less a nation depends on technology, the less it is a slave to it. Technology is really quite fragile when you investigate it more thoroughly.
Is there any surprise that the fourth beast, great and terrible, is able to make such progress in it destructive rampage in the Tribulation? If the fourth beast is organized Islam, as I suspect, then all that must be done is to disable the technology the other beasts depend on.
