Since "battle" drones have come onto the scene in the last handful of years, they have quite fascinated me. And it's because of a cryptic passage in the book of Revelation in the Bible. Revelation Chapter 9:3-4 John describes what he is seeing:
"3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."
John seems to be describing things that swarm but that don't eat plants like normal locusts do; and instead go after men. Gee, is there anything out there today that fits that description? I think John is trying to describe drone swarms. Something the earth hasn't ever seen before. That's my take on that passage.
