The US company, Colossal, has successfully demonstrated the very complex process of germline editing on animals. It has successfully edited DNA to produce the expected traits that result from specific sequences of DNA. This same technology can also be used for humans, to make us stronger, smarter, have denser muscle tissue, have more focus, be void of any unwanted genetic mutations, make us resilient to forms of disease, etc.

He Jiankui, a Chinese scientist, conducted germline editing on embryos from parents who had HIV. He edited the DNA of the embryos to be resistant to HIV in a scientific experiment to see if the offspring could be protected from the disease. And while it appears to have worked, he crossed a line and served three years in prison for it.

So is it that much of a stretch to imagine – now that we have this incredible technology that we know works – that certain governments, using funding from NGOs, in private labs in countries with lax oversight, might be working with this technology? And that they might be trying to make “better, faster, stronger, smarter” scientists, athletes, and soldiers?

Also worth noting is that Colossal has also developed artificial womb technology for incubating and growing the technology, which will almost certainly be spun out into a new company. Of course, there are immediate implications for animal husbandry… but again, is it that much of a stretch to imagine that the end game isn’t artificial wombs for humans? Colossal has already spun out two companies: Form Bio, as a computational biology company, and Breaking, which is using genetic editing to create synthetic substances that can degrade plastics. These technologies that Colossal has been developing under the hood have nothing to do with de-extinction… But they have incredible implications for the future of genetic editing and what’s to come.

All of the above confirm Biblical end-time prophecies, which state that we are in a time of godlessness and lawlessness, just as it was in the days of Noah, before God’s wrath was poured out for the first time on planet earth.

“For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man (Jesus’ second coming). For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:37-39

The Coming of the Son of Man
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:29-31

Only those people who have repented of rejecting God and His commandments and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will be among the elect and avoid the wrath of God that will be poured out on earth with the prophesied Trumpet and Bowl Judgements (see Revelation 8 for the Seven Trumpet Judgements and Revelation 16 for the Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath).

What will your fate be? Will you be amongst the elect, the faithful, trusting God in all circumstances, or will you be among the many that face the wrath of God.
