On March 28, the Arizona State Legislature passed HB 2549 that many critics claim would have serious constitutional repercussions. [Read the Bill here.]
HB 2549 amended a law already on the books that criminalizes harassing telephone calls and broadens it to "any electronic or digital device" in an effort to stop bullying and other types of harassment. While although this a noble cause, the Media Coalition, one of the bill’s most outspoken critics, believes that the bill is too overly broad and would harm rather than help the problem. As reported in a Phoenix New Times blog article, the Coalition sent the Governor a memo stating the following:
"H.B. 2549 is not limited to a one to one conversation between two specific people. The communication does not need to be repetitive or even unwanted. There is no requirement that the recipient or subject of the speech actually feel offended, annoyed or scared. Nor does the legislation make clear that the communication must be intended to offend or annoy the reader, the subject or even any specific person."
There has been so much media attention and negative publicity concerning this bill that as of April 3, instead of going to the Governor’s desk for signature the bill went into a conference committee were it will either be amended or laid to rest until the next legislative session.
The Bible Prophecy Connection
While although this bill will not be signed into law in its current form, it definitely is a shadow of things to come in the near future. According to Revelation 13:5-8, the Beast, otherwise known as the Anti-Christ, is given power over all peoples.
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.We also know from Daniel 7:23 that the fourth and last world kingdom, ruled by the Anti-Christ, will be so powerful that it will control the whole earth.
23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.
How does the Anti-Christ gain control over all the people of the world? More than likely it will be through programs and policies, such as HB2549, that keep us monitored and in fear. All one has to do is to briefly watch the news or search the internet to see that Arizona is not the only governmental entity that is slowly restricting the freedom of their people. It's happening all over our country and throughout the world via technology. Technology can be a good thing but very dangerous when used in the wrong way.
It's time to WAKE UP! and realize that as the government takes away our freedoms by monitoring the populace through police power and surveillance, they will be setting the stage for the Anti-Christ to takeover more easily every tribe, people, language and nation.
