This link worked properly.

This link does not bring up the article, causing confusion.

The insistence that everything is getting better and better is typical
of Modernism, which, in some quarters, survived WWI and died after
WWII.

Has anyone else wondered what the "wearable medical monitoring
devices" are intended to look like? A mark, perhaps, on the hand or
forehead?

One of the books on Revelation I read within living memory identifies
the Beast with all of modern learning and technology, but identifies
the second beast as the propaganda department and the Whore as
advertising. Since Trump's efforts appear to be aimed at, as Disney
has Stromboli saying, "pushing you in the public's eye", that would
make the Orange Taco -- the Whore of Babylon.

But I don't think this line of thought is particularly helpful.
