What happens to people who refuse to worship the image?
Those who refuse to worship the image will be killed. The image will have tremendous power, and it will cause that as many as would not worship it will be killed. This takes place under a one-world government that monitors every home, leaving no escape.
Les explains 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 have tremendous power, and it will cause that as many as would not worship it will be killed. This will come through information technology, as television sets will become tools, and the powers that be will know the activity of every home, so there will be no escaping it. Les notes the technology is already here, and he has told his classes that they know all about us—our idiosyncrasies, where we spend money, where we have it invested, our health, everything. He mentions insurance companies, financial institutions, and magazines, including farm magazines that offer free subscriptions for personal information, which he has quit filling out.
