Sid Roth Interview Session With his guest Ed Hindson

1. Sid Roth Interview Session With his guest Ed Hindson 5e3bfecbd045b.site123.me/blog/sid-roth-interview-session-with-his-guest-ed-hindson SID:- We want everyone everywhere to be red hot for Jesus, and if this week doesn’t do it for you nothing will because I have on the telephone Ed Hindson who is the assistant chancellor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He’s teamed up with Lee Fredrickson a high-tech futurist, and written a book called “Future Wave – End Times Prophecy and The Technology Explosion.” Some of the concepts I have to tell that are brought out in this book I’ve never even speculated on. For instance, I’ve never even heard the word before but it’s called the “Nanotechnology Wave.” What is that? ED:- Nanotechnology is the ability now in technology with the microscopes to go right down to the atomic level. They are not only able to deal with the human genes, and we’ll talk about that in a minute, and get down to the level of the tiniest cells of the human body, but they are now talking about getting down to the atomic level. We know how to split an atom and now figuring out that there are ways you can operate on an atom so to speak. You can begin to change the atomic structure of things. Nanotechnology has ultimately as its goal, the ability for example, to change the atomic structure of the paint on your wall. So that… SID:- So what advantage is it to change atomic structure of the paint on your wall? ED:-Today I want the room blue, tomorrow I want it green, the next day I want it purple. You… SID:-You’re going to put all those painters out of business (laughing)? ED:-Yeah! You’ll paint it once and you can make it any color you want it. SID:-Wow! ED:- You can change the environment so that a person can say “I want a Hawaiian atmosphere in my room when I wake up tomorrow morning,” or “I want an Artic atmosphere.”  “It’s a hot July day I want it to appear to be snowy and cold.” The scary part of all that is the difference between that which is real and that which is only artificially real. Artificial reality is going to become a reality, virtual reality becomes reality. The medium becomes the message pretty soon. We’re more intrigued by what we can create around us artificially than we are in dealing with real life itself. I think that has all 1/5

2. kinds of prophetic implications for the future. The so called image of the beast, and getting people to worship this thing and respond to it, is it a statue or is it actually some kind of 3 dimensional hologramic image that is projected out of your television set, and they’re talking about this in the future. Way beyond DVD-TV they’re going to have 3-D where you’ll see the movie taking place all around you. You’re actually in it you’re a part of it so to speak. The next thing you know I’ve got the ability to interact with the characters. Pretty soon the ability to interact with this projected image that says “Bow down and worship me or else.” SID:-This sounds like the most hideous form of mind control. ED:- It’s beyond what most of us can imagine, but the technology is pushing us into that kind of ability. While all these things start off fairly harmless in the beginning it’s entertaining, it’s fun, it’s exciting whatever. Pretty soon it becomes the reality of our lives. So for example with virtual technology right now you can put on the little headset and actually think that you’re driving a race car, or you can be put in a scene where you are skiing down a mountain but you’re not skiing at all. You can have the same thrill the same excitement of being a world class snow skier without ever setting foot outside your house. You could have the thrill and fear of being chased by a wild animal, etcetera. Once that kind of thing gets more developed than it is now to the point that we’re living in unrealistic virtual reality environments all the time. As an entertainment option… It’s beyond what most of us can imagine, but the technology is pushing us into that kind of ability. While all these things start off fairly harmless in the beginning it’s entertaining, it’s fun, it’s exciting whatever. Pretty soon it becomes the reality of our lives. So for example with virtual technology right now you can put on the little headset and actually think that you’re driving a race car, or you can be put in a scene where you are skiing down a mountain but you’re not skiing at all.

You could have the thrill and fear of being chased by a wild animal, etcetera. Once that kind of thing gets more developed than it is now to the point that we’re living in unrealistic virtual reality environments all the time. As an entertainment option… SID:-I mean we use television as an escape but imagine what would happen with what you’re describing. ED:-The ultimate escape and it’s the ultimate escape from responsibility as well. SID:-Hmm. Well this nanotechnology can also be used within human health. 2/5

3. ED:-Exactly if you can begin to change atomic structure as well as molecular structure in people, you can begin to fix things that are genetically wrong in the human body. SID:-Give me an example. ED:-Well they recently were able to completely map the human genome. So now they can begin to determine… these are the genes that tend to create problems like Alzheimer’s disease. If we can fix these, if we can operate on these, if we can manipulate these and change these chemically and physically so that these genes do not create this particular tendency we can eliminate this disease and that disease etcetera. If we can even get lower than that and begin to change the atomic structure of those genes we could actually get rid of things like skin cancer, we could eliminate eye sight problems and things of that nature. The ability of science in the next 10 – 20 years is going to be so incredible in the area of health technology that we’re going to see an incredible extension of the human life span. The ability to eliminate diseases is going to give the human body a chance to live longer. The question is will it live better? SID Roth:- Hmm. Well… I mean I’m thinking in terms of these crazy mad men that Hitler hired to do experiments on humans. Can you picture with the technology we have that if someone comes from a godless society such as a communist society where they’re literally today killing people to get their organs to sell them to make a profit. Can you picture them combing humans and animals and plants, we could have a world of monsters. ED:-The challenges for example in cloning are incredible.  While they’ve cloned a sheep or two they also have had to eliminate hundreds and hundreds of them that turned out be all messed up. Two headed and 3 legged, and this that and the other. SID:-Hmm. ED:-So what happens now with a mindset in our society toward accepting abortion for example you experiment on unborn fetuses and just decide that this necessary for the quality of the life of the human beings that are already alive on the planet. If we’ve got to in vitro, fertilize, babies in a dish in order to get skin from them or parts from them, and DNA from them, and genes from them, and get part of their inner structure as a human being in order to help develop scientifically the options to improve the lives of other human beings, then fine they’re expendable. We’ve already decided as a society they’re already expendable unfortunately. So that mindset then leads to the next, and the next, 3/5

4. and the next, and the next thing you know you have as you said bizarre experimentation going on in which somebody decides “Boy if you could just get chlorophyll out of plant into the human body on a permanent basis your teeth would never rot.” You would never have to go to the dentist and this can’t happen and that can’t happen, and you could have this benefit and that benefit. But all of these things lead to a point where the scientific community and medical community have an even greater and greater control of human life. SID:- Out of curiosity as you worked on the book “Future Wave” especially with the latest technology that’s available today. What was going on inside of you as you were laying out these scenarios in your book? ED:-I think a combination on the one hand of tremendous curiosity. “How in the world can they do this and can this really happen?” Then a sobering sense of realization “Yes they already are doing it.” The technology already exists, it’s already happening.  Then the reminder prophetically from the Bible that in a world that is economically, globally, militarily, governmentally controlled ultimately by one man the anti-Christ, the man of sin, the lawless one, the son of perdition. How could one person do this? He could do it through technology. It becomes more and more obvious how the future will eventually play out.  That’s why we use the term in the book “Future Wave.” The wave is like what the Japanese people call a tsunami that rolls up from the ocean floor; sweeps everything in its path. If you could ride the wave it would be a great experience, the problem is that eventually the wave hits the shore eventually it crashes. It sweeps everything in its path. The idea is we experiencing a technological tsunami. It is a wave of technology building so quickly, so fast, so exponentially that you cannot stop it. You have to decide to ride the wave and use it for good, but you also have to realize that that wave of technology is going change about the world in which we live. By the end of the 21 century if we were still here and the Lord had not come. The world at that point will look so vastly different from the world of the beginning of the 21 century you’re almost going to think you’re on another planet. SID :-I have to believe the wildest science fiction writers in history never came close to what we see revealed in your book “Future Wave.” ED:-There have been glimpses at times here there but the technology has developed so quickly that even the science fiction writers can’t keep up with it. We’re going to see movies portraying this. There’s a movie being advertised right now on television where robots are fighting for control of the world. They decide with artificial intelligence that is able to interface with human intelligence that “Hey really we can do a better job than 4/5

5. they are. They’re so full of self-deceit and hatred that they’re going to kill each other off anyhow so we should just take over. If necessary we should just eliminate them.” It sounds beyond our imagination but that could become a potential problem in future in the whole area of robotics. When you begin to develop computerized robotic individuals that will soon be able to look like, talk like, act like, function like human beings but they aren’t human beings they’re machines. SID:- Will they actually be able to think? ED:-Everybody writing in this area, studying this area says “Yes.” That at first it will be a very stilted kind of a thing like you’re talking to a computer with a voice. Eventually the personalization will get greater and greater. Remember Star Wars you had the little chubby robot that beeped and bleeped and what all. Then you had the guy that was made out of gold and he could talk and function and look and act more like a human being. Eventually they are saying they’ll be able to develop things that are like a gigantic doll that talks to you that could actually ride with you in the car. Be your companion, sit at a dinner table eat a meal whatever. In time the humanization of this will get greater and greater until these machines will be able to sense how we are thinking. SID:-Oh! We’re out of time. This is the conversation of Sid Roth and ED Hindson From the Show It's Supernatural. 5/5
