The Seer’s Warning

== Prologue: The Experiment == Isaac Morgan had always been different. As a young man, he excelled in mathematics, his mind working like a machine that could calculate and predict patterns in the world around him. This gift—or curse—brought him to the attention of a covert government program.

The year was 1967, and Isaac was 21. Recruited under the pretext of advancing cognitive science, he became a test subject in Project Synapse, a CIA experiment involving hallucinogenic drugs, electrical brain stimulation, and sensory deprivation.

The scientists promised him clarity and enhanced perception, but what Isaac experienced during those sessions was far beyond what he could have imagined. In altered states of consciousness, his mind was flooded with vivid visions of glowing grids, interconnected machines, and an ominous voice whispering of humanity’s enslavement to its own creations.

== Chapter 1: A World Encircled == Decades later, Isaac lived as a recluse in the Appalachian wilderness. He had rejected the modern world entirely, convinced that the visions he had seen in the experiments were coming true. In his solitary cabin, he wrote page after page of warnings about the dangers of technology, but no one listened.

He spoke of a glowing net encircling the earth—a network of light that would connect all people but ultimately trap them. The voice from his visions returned often, speaking not in words but in flashes of insight: algorithms that manipulated emotions, grids that harvested energy, and a world where humanity's every move was monitored and controlled.

The internet had become ubiquitous, its glowing threads binding the world in ways no one could have predicted. Isaac watched as people embraced it, trading their freedom for convenience, their privacy for connection.

== Chapter 2: The Prophet’s Parallel == One day, a stranger arrived at Isaac’s cabin. She was an anthropologist named Rachel Weaver, who had come to interview him after stumbling upon his writings online. She carried with her a dusty book containing prophecies from the Hopi people.

Rachel shared the prophecy of the glowing net that would encircle the earth and eventually go dark. Isaac listened, his breath catching. “I’ve seen it,” he whispered. “The net, the grid... it will enslave us. And when it goes dark, the collapse will begin.”

Rachel was skeptical but intrigued. “How could the Hopi know this, and how could you have seen the same thing?”

Isaac leaned back, his eyes shadowed. “Not all visions come from God. The enemy gives them too. Just enough truth to lead us astray.”

== Chapter 3: The Voice of the Beast == Over the next months, Rachel and Isaac formed a partnership of sorts. Rachel sought historical and spiritual connections to Isaac’s visions, while Isaac decoded patterns in world events. Together, they uncovered startling revelations: economic systems moving toward digital currencies, governments pushing biometric IDs, and the rise of artificial intelligence as a central force in society.

But the voice that haunted Isaac grew stronger. It no longer whispered—it commanded. “They will submit. The net will bind them. You will see the mark.” Isaac struggled to resist its influence, praying to a God he barely understood for deliverance.

One night, after a particularly harrowing vision, Isaac awoke in terror. He described to Rachel what he had seen: a global leader rising from chaos, offering peace in exchange for allegiance. People willingly accepted a mark on their hands or foreheads, a sign of submission to the system. Those who refused were hunted, silenced, and left to starve.

== Chapter 4: The Collapse == The prophecy began to unfold with startling speed. The internet grid—once hailed as humanity's greatest achievement—began to fail. Power outages swept across the globe, plunging cities into darkness. Governments scrambled to maintain control, introducing a new centralized digital currency and biometric identification to access basic resources.

Isaac and Rachel watched in horror as people lined up to receive the mark—a small implant connected to the global network. It was touted as a solution to the chaos, a way to ensure safety and stability. But Isaac knew the truth.

“This is it,” he said. “The mark of the beast. They’re binding themselves to the system, to the grid. And when the final seal is broken, the world will fall.”

== Chapter 5: The Great Tribulation == Persecution began almost immediately. Those who refused the mark were cut off from society, unable to buy food or medicine. Isaac and Rachel fled deeper into the wilderness, joining a small group of believers who had seen through the deception. They survived on what they could forage and hunt, relying on faith and each other.

But the net was everywhere. Even in the wilderness, drones patrolled the skies, scanning for those who resisted. The glowing grid Isaac had seen in his visions now cast a sinister light over the earth, its reach inescapable.

Isaac wrote feverishly in his final days, urging anyone who might find his words to resist the system and turn to Christ. “The darkness has fallen,” he wrote, “but the true light will come. Hold fast.”

== Epilogue: The Warning Lives On == Isaac’s writings survived long after his death, passed among the few who still resisted. The glowing grid eventually did go dark, plunging the world into its darkest period—the Great Tribulation. The global system, once seen as humanity’s savior, became its oppressor, fulfilling the prophecy of the mark.

But Isaac’s warnings, though inspired by visions not of the Holy Spirit, pointed some toward the ultimate truth. In the darkest hour, a remnant held firm, awaiting the return of the true King.
