Sounds more like Musk than Vance, what with spacex and X(.com), especially if in the future X actually becomes the American equivalent of Wechat and a state funded and required everything app.

True, especially if you consider the line:

[15] The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

Sounds like Elon's recent AI generated video of Trump cleansing Gaza.

As well as the Mark of the Beast as a Neurolink microchip.

In the Left Behind series, you had to implant the chip in your forehead or right hand. They guillotined anyone who refused. If you get willingly chipped you are permanently unsaveable (so it must be the “blaspheming against the Holy Spirit” thing that Jesus was on about)

It’s amazing that I’m not seeing more Christians freak out about this. All of the church basement videos,the Hal Lindsey, … was I the only one who took that shit seriously? Chloe’s death in Left Behind traumatized me - like I don’t think any of the film adaptations have gotten that far but I can picture it like a movie. If they weren’t going to take the warning seriously, why did I wake up some mornings in a quiet house terrified that God had abandoned me?

Dude spoilers! I didn’t know Chloe dies!

She’s a character that seems to want to escape the story she’s in. She starts out as a stereotype of a college student who’s been corrupted by her studies at Yale because you need to be afraid of sending your kids to college, it turns them into liberals.

She converts with token resistance when her shitty cheating dad “finds” god and then is promptly married off to a guy more than a decade older than her.

The blog Slacktivist did/does a really long running breakdown of the series, and she was always a popular character in “fan”fiction in the comments.
