“One Billion Smartphones”

Friday Church News Notes- More than than one billion smartphones will be sold this year, which is a major sign of the times ("More Than One Billion Smartphones." Business Insider, Feb. 5, 2014). That is one smartphone for every seven people on earth. The smartphone is an amazing tool that can be used for the Lord's work as well as for the devil's, but the explosion of these devises witnesses to globalism, the technology explosion, the me generation, and other things that are prophetic signs of the end times. A smartphone is a mobile phone with advanced features such as a camera, media player, GPS navigation, and internet browsing. Most are powered by Apple's and Google's operating systems. The first smartphone to gain popularity was the BlackBerry in 2003 which became known as the CrackBerry due to its addictive nature. In 2007, Apple's iPhone took the smartphone to a new level of popularity. Smartphones are becoming as popular in poor countries as in rich ones, as there are smartphones for nearly every economic strata. Increasingly, people in poverty stricken regions such as South Asia and central Africa use the smartphone as a means of accessing the internet and conducting economic transactions that were heretofore limited to those with electricity and physical banking facilities. The smartphone is a major player in bringing the world together and creating a one-world economy and culture. It reminds us of the scene in Revelation 11:8-10 which describes the two prophets being killed and their bodies lying in Jerusalem and being seen by "the people and kindreds and tongues and nations."
