We start from:
Genesis 3:4-5 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
Little-g gods don’t die like man do. This passage tells us that man shall be as gods. Man is not a god, but he shall be as gods, which is to say, a change must happen bodily, and that is the idea of transhumanism. Compare this to:
Revelation 13:16-18 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
This is the “mark of the beast” which a man shall received in his right hand or in his forehead, so that he might buy or sell with it. This is another reference to transhumanism, in that something will be introduced into a man’s physical body, without which he cannot buy or sell.
Revelation 14:9-11 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
This passage tells us that whosoever will receive the mark of the beast will have no pardon from their sins, and the smoke of their torment will ascend up forever and ever as the wrath of God and his indignation shall be poured out unto them.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,"
Compare to born again believers which God have not appointed unto wrath, the ones that shall receive the mark of the beast would be subjected to God’s wrath. Therefore, those who have received the mark of the beast are not saved and cannot be saved. In this post Salvation: Angels vs Man, I have demonstrated from scripture that angels which sinned against God have no pardon.
Link this back to Genesis 3:4-5 whereby men shall be as gods. In this post The circle of the earth, I have given the scriptures to prove that “the sons of God” in Genesis 6 were angelic beings or little-g gods. Consider the days of Noah according to:
Genesis 6:1-4 "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
Giants were born out of the unholy union between the sons of God (angels) and the daughters of men. There was a mingling of the seed of the sons of God and the seed of the daughters of men in the days of Noah.
Genesis 6:11-13 "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."
The word "violence" comes from the word "violate", which means to profane or defile. That's why the earth was "corrupt" before God. The word "corrupt" means that it used to be good, but had become bad over time, and it says in verse 12 "for all flesh has corrupted his way upon the earth". Verse 13 repeats "the earth is filled with violence through THEM (sons of God and daughters of men)", and this is the reason why God said "behold, I will destroy them (all flesh) with the earth." But there was one exception:
Genesis 6:8-10 "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 ¶ These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
The will of God was to destroy all flesh with the earth, all except Noah and his family, which according to verse 9 was not only a “just man” (born again believer) but he was also “perfect in his generations”. Noah had given birth to three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and by them and their wives were the whole earth overspread (Genesis 9:19). They were the ancestors of men and women who were born right after the Great Flood, and even our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of man, came from them.
Hebrews 2:9 "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."
Hebrews 2:16 "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham."
Jesus was made “a little lower than angels” for our sakes. He did not take on him the nature of angels. The reason why Jesus Christ took on the nature of man is so that man can be saved. Angels which sinned against God cannot be saved. For this reason, the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men (giants) perished in the Great Flood. So, if men shall be as gods (transhumanism), then the grace of God does not apply to them. The Bible tells us in these two places:
Matthew 24:37 "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
Luke 17:26 "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man."
Jesus compares his second coming to “the days of Noe”, and that is another place where we know that men’s seed shall be corrupted.
Daniel 2:43 "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay."
We are all formed out of "miry clay", and according to this verse, they shall "mingle themselves with the SEED OF MEN". The word "seed" is a reference to our DNA. It certainly does not come as a surprise the amount of resources that has been invested in the areas of genetic engineering, vaccination, GMO etc. The mark which men shall receive in his right hand and in his forehead is to corrupt the DNA of mankind, and it is the Devil’s gospel that “Ye shall not surely die” (Genesis 3:4). The mark of the beast will be man's solution to the first death. It will be the Devil's version of the "tree of life" unto sinful men.

According to this transhumanist (Dr Yuval Noah Harari):
"Now, in the past, may tyrants and governments wanted to do it, but nobody understood biology well enough and nobody had enough computing power and data to hack millions of people, neither the Gestapo nor the KGB could do it but soon, at least some corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack all the people. We humans should get used to the idea that we are no longer mysterious souls. We are now hackable animals. Data might enable human elites to do something even more radical than just build digital dictatorships. By hacking organisms, elites may gain the power to reengineer the future of life itself, because once you can hack something, you can also usually engineer it. And if indeed, we succeed in hacking and engineering life, this will be not just the greatest revolution in the history of humanity. This will be the greatest greatest revolution in biology since the beginning of life 4 billion years ago. For 4 billion years, nothing from the mental changed in the basic rules of the game of life. All of lives for 4 billion years, dinosaurs, amoebas, tomatoes, humans were subject to the laws of natural selection and to the law of organic biochemistry, but this is now about to change. Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design, not intelligent design by some god above the cloud, but our intelligent design and the intelligent design of our clouds - the IBM cloud, the Microsoft cloud, these are the new driving forces of evolution, and at the same time, science may enable life, after being confined to 4 billion years to the limited realm of organic compounds, science may enable life to breakout into the inorganic realm. So after 4 billion years of organic life shaped by natural selection, we are entering the era of inorganic life shaped by intelligent design. So, that's my data about my DNA, my brain, my body, my life, does it belong to me or some corporation or to the government or perhaps to the human collective?"

Since Genesis 3, man has been working his way to immortality, to be as gods. That's why to this very day, we will find evidence of man trying to prolong his life through science and other means, and eventually work his way to immortality. We also find many such evidences in the pages of history and folklore, such as this article: 'Emperor Qin's quest for Immortality'.
Wow Max, you'd knocked it outta the park again! And thank you for the transcript of Dr. 'I wanna hack & control the human-breed' Harari ... Dr. Evil-incarnate himself cuz I was gonna listen & write his speech word for word and now I don't thanks to you!
