15 Minutes?


Have you ever heard of a 15-minute city? According to Wikipedia (so you KNOW it's true, right?) the 15-minute city is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk, bike ride, or public transit ride from any point in the city.

This concept is already active in cities like Paris, Madrid, Shanghai, etc. It has even been embraced by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF). Uh-oh....

The ancient city of Nineveh would never have made it as a 15-minute city.

"Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it." - Jonah 3:3

The problem with these pie-in-the-sky ideas is that it takes a people willing to conform to the will of the governing body. Remember Covid? How many people conformed and took the jab? According to Statista, 81.3% of Americans had one or more shots. That's huge! But 18.7% did not conform.

So, what will happen to those unwilling to conform to the government's wishes? 

"He required everyone - small and great, rich and poor, free and slave - to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. ¹⁷And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name." - Revelation 13:16-17

Basically, conform or die.

Would you take "the mark of the beast" if death was the only alternative? Remember, by taking "the mark" you are pledging to follow Satan. I don't know about you, but I would rather follow Jesus.

The average walking speed for a human is about 3 mph. So a 15-minute walk is about 3/4 of a mile (3960 feet). Go for a 15-minute walk sometime and check it out.

"Stop trusting in mere humans." - Isaiah 2:22
