What will happen to those who refuse to worship the image?
Those who refuse to worship the image will be killed. The image will be empowered to speak and will exercise tremendous authority, and it will cause everyone who will not worship it to be put to death. The coming one-world system will monitor every home, leaving no way to escape.
Les teaches that this image is being set up for a one-world government that will have its thumb on every home around the planet, with nobody left out. The image will be able to speak and will have tremendous power. It will cause that as many as would not worship the image will be killed. Les suggests this may come through information and television sets, and the powers that be will know the activity of every home; there will be no escaping it, and the technology is already there. He notes that they know all about people—their idiosyncrasies, where they spend and invest money, and their health—and he points to insurance companies, financial institutions, magazines, and farm magazines that offer free subscriptions for information. He says he quit filling them out and would rather pay, because this is what the world is doing.
