Prophecy Update #753 – How Klaus Are We To Globalism?

The Bible is estimated to be 25%-35% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate.

There is much in Bible prophecy that is yet unfulfilled. For example, beginning in chapter six, everything in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is future to us. That is why we are called futurists. We believe that these yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies will be fulfilled in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that things would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are potential End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

I always give two disclaimers:

1. We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. Sensationalism about the future is detrimental.
2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build-up to the future Great Tribulation.

The Bible predicts a one world government.

An updated term for it is “global government.” World leaders are serious about getting the nations of the world to surrender their sovereignty to a central governing group.

Christians have long been accused of being conspiracy theorists for saying such things. Recently, I might say even suddenly, powerful groups of wealthy influencers, government officials, and tech giants, have come out of the closet with their radical global agendas.

One such organization is the World Economic Forum (WEC), headquartered in Davos, Switzerland. Its chairman is Klaus Schwab. You may not have heard of him, but he is one of the most influential and powerful humans on the planet.

Schwab has more than a few totalitarian plans for Planet Earth.

He was interviewed by Sergey Brin, the American billionaire business magnate best known for co-founding Google with Larry Page. In a video clip Schwab said the following about national elections:

“Digital technologies mainly have an analytical power, [but] now we go into a predictive mode. The next step could be to go into a prescriptive mode, which means you do not even have to have elections any more because you can already predict. Why do we need elections, because we know what the result will be?”

Then he said, “Can you imagine such a world?”

There is more to Schwab’s globalism. He is quoted, “In this new world, we must accept transparency, and I’ll even say total transparency. Everything is going to be transparent, and you have to get used to it, you have to behave accordingly. It becomes, how should I put it, integrated into your personality, but if you have nothing to hide you shouldn’t be afraid.”

TIME magazine interviewed Klaus:

“We will showcase in Davos what we call the Global Collaboration Village and inaugurate it in the summer next year.

“A year ago, when Meta had changed its name, I became curious what [the metaverse] is and could it have an impact. It became very clear: it’s the capability to meet in a virtual three-dimensional room. I mean, you have two levels. First is just to meet around a table with your avatars. And second, is to combine it with an immersive experience, and that’s what we will do in Davos.

“This has such an importance because it can make global collaboration more open; you always can convene the most relevant and the most knowledgeable people. And second, it makes it more sustained, because you can work together on a continued basis, and not just come together for a physical meeting and then nothing happens for quite some time again. We created a community, which has at the moment 70 members, whom we call Village Partners, who support us. I feel this could be a game changer in global collaboration.”

(I think it’s a little weird that he thinks Zoom meetings are some kind of leap forward in world progress).

How many movies have you seen where there is a small group of powerful men working in the shadows to push forward some destructive agenda? The X-files… The first Avenger’s movie… The Company… The Cabal… Hydra.

700 leaders from 130 countries, including 52 heads of state and government, attended the annual 2023 WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The United States has the most representation; 674 attendees, 3x as many as the second on the list, Great Britain.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ predicts a global government in the End Times. Christian futurists have been talking about it for the longest time. It is happening.

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, commonly called the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble.

In the Revelation Jesus wrote, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (3:10). We believe the Lord was addressing the entire church throughout the Church Age. He will keep us “from,” meaning totally out of, the future world-wide tribulation.*   

The resurrection and rapture of the church is imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

 

*“If Revelation 3:10 is a promise of protection in the hour of testing rather than out of this period, then it would read as such. The Holy Spirit would then have guided the Apostle John to write the preposition ἐν rather than ἐκ in the text. The only difference between these two Greek prepositions is a single letter. But this single letter spells the difference between this passage teaching pretribulationism or posttribulationism, and no amount of sophistry can twist one letter of Scripture into another.” (David G. Winfrey, The Great Tribulation: Kept Out Of, or Through? Grace Theological Journal, Vol. DTJ 03:1, Spring 1982).

Prophecy Update #752 – One Digital ID To Rule Us All

The Bible is estimated to be 25%-35% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate.

There is much in Bible prophecy that is yet unfulfilled. For example, beginning in chapter six, everything in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is future to us. We are called futurists. We believe that these yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies will be fulfilled in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are potential End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build-up to the future Great Tribulation.

The Bible predicts a “one world government.” An updated term for it is “global government.” World leaders are serious about getting the nations of the world to surrender their sovereignty to a central governing group.

I read an article titled, UN’s Vision Of The Future: One Digital ID To Rule Us All.

Excerpts:

The UN Secretary-General’s vision for the future of global cooperation will be decided at The Summit of the Future in September 2024. Three briefings to be discussed are: (1) A Global Digital Compact, (2) Reforms to the International Financial Architecture, and (3) The Future of Outer Space Governance.

A vital part of the agenda is also digital connectivity and the establishment of a Global Digital Compact. [The goal is a] digitally connected network of people, entities, devices, and things, that easily can be directed by those who run the system. 

The suggestions happen to be very similar to what World Economic Forum prescribed in their report, “Unlocking Technologies for the Global Goals in 2020.” 

A Digital ID [for everyone] is the cornerstone in this work. [They are suggesting] a new ‘apex body’ in charge of the entire financial system that will enhance its coherence and align its priorities with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

[They admit that] “A digital ID… can… introduce new risks and challenges.” It can be used to undermine human rights – for example, by enabling civil society to be targeted, or selected groups to be excluded from social benefits.

This can later be fused with a social credit system and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) – which is now being introduced and tested in many countries across the world. 

To receive your daily bread you’ll have to obey and accept the instructions from [those in charge]. If the UN declares a “Planetary Emergency,” this will have severe consequences for our freedoms (as we experienced during the pandemic).

If you were here last Sunday, I mentioned World Coin. The company behind it has developed an eye scanner they call the “Orb.” All it takes is just one look, and once your biometric data is in the database you will receive some free money and a new digital identity that you will be able to use all over the Internet. They beta tested with a group of 2m people. In cities all over the world, someone is looking into the Orb every 8seconds to get their World ID.

AmazonOne is Amazon’s palm recognition service for identification, payment, and loyalty membership. It reached a critical milestone with more than 3m uses. Whole Foods Market stores are going all in. By the end of this year, all 500+ Whole Foods Market locations in the US will offer AmazonOne for payment and Prime membership benefits. This means Whole Foods Market customers who choose to use AmazonOne will no longer need their wallet or even a phone to pay – they can simply hover their palm over an AmazonOne device.

When cash is eliminated, and there is a digital global economic system, the world will be a keystroke away from tyranny.

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, commonly called the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble.

In the Revelation Jesus wrote, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (3:10). We believe the Lord was addressing the entire church throughout the Church Age. He will keep us “from,” meaning totally out of, the coming world-wide tribulation.   

The resurrection and rapture of the church is imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #751 – Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

The Bible is 25%-35% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate. Approximately 300 – 500 prophecies remain to be fulfilled. We are futurists, meaning we believe that they will be fulfilled in the future in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. For example, the focus of many yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies is the nation of Israel. They require Israel be a nation, in her ancient land.

That happened! It is both a fulfillment of prophecy & a modern miracle.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

I always give two disclaimers:

1. We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. Sensationalism about the future is detrimental.
2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build-up to the future Great Tribulation.

There is so much we could talk about that I thought I’d hit on two or three things that are trending.

We talk a lot about the predictions in the Bible that there will be a global economy accessed by some sort of ‘mark’ on or in you. This week it was reported that the CEO of Worldcoin, aims to scan the eyeballs of every human on Earth. He says a global World ID is coming “whether you like it or not… probably in the next couple of years.”

To do this, they invented a physical device called The Orb that can scan your eyeball. The goal is for the Orb to scan every eyeball of every human who walks the Earth. They’re calling it, World ID.

They beta tested with 2mil people. A person has been verified every 8 seconds since the launch. They are going to be orbing soon in 35 cities in 20 countries.

They say it will be necessary in the future to distinguish between humans and bots. Bladerunner?

Artificial Intelligence, AI, is of interest to us for at least these two reasons:

1. First, in the Revelation we read about a made-made image of the antichrist receiving a kind of sentient life.
2. Second, in the OT Book of Daniel, we are told that in the end times human knowledge will increase exponentially. With AI on the scene, the increase in knowledge is off the charts.

Changing gears… We read in the Revelation, that one of the valuable last days commodities will be “the bodies and souls of men” (18:13). Human trafficking is rampant today. The film, The Sound of Freedom, is calling attention to it. You’d think everyone would get on board. The bigger story is that many are pushing back against the film – even though it is a true story. NPR reported that “the Christian thriller is fueling controversy over conspiracy theories and its depiction of human trafficking.”

In this same category of devaluing human life, Canada is continuing to make it easier for a person to take their own life, and for the government to determine who ought to die for the good of the many. A recent post was titled, Canada to expand its assisted suicide program to include the mentally ill.

Excerpts:

Canada will allow people with mental illness to choose medically assisted death beginning next year, according to a report… The Medical Assistance in Dying program, known by its acronym MAID, for adults with terminal illnesses has been legal since 2016.

It was amended in 2021 to take into account people with incurable conditions, and beginning in March 2024 it will include people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness.

In 2016 it was just for people who were terminal, five years later it included “incurable” patients. And now it’s going to include ANYONE who is mentally ill.

According to figures from 2021, the most recent year available, 10,064 people died through medically assisted death, about 3% of Canadians that year.

One third of Canadians think prescribing death for homeless people is totally fine. At least one funeral home offers rooms for assisted suicide on-site.

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble.

The resurrection and rapture of the church is imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #750 – Global Trifecta

The Bible is 25% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate. We are futurists when it comes to the 300 to 500 prophecies that remain. They will be fulfilled in the future in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. For example, in the Book of the Revelation, we are told that there will be a global economic system that will be accessed by some kind of ‘mark’ in you or on you. Looking around, we see multiple technologies that could – and I emphasize could – end up being the fulfillment of the prophecy.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

I always give two disclaimers:

1. We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. Sensationalism about the future is detrimental.
2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build-up to the future Great Tribulation.

UFO’s are real.

Like me, you may have missed this massive shift in official policy. In 2021 an article was posted titled, The Pentagon says UFOs are real.

Last month an article posted by nymag.com reported the following:

The past six years have been a roller coaster for the extraterrestrial-minded in America. In 2017, the New York Times revealed that former senator Harry Reid had previously snuck away $22 million in Defense funding to investigate unidentified flying objects. Since then, some Navy pilots have come forward to report frequent UFO sightings, while the Pentagon has revamped its investigation process in an effort to take the matter more seriously. The increased scrutiny hasn’t led to any breakthroughs; it turns out many of the objects the pilots sighted were just balloons.

But a new report from Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal – part of the team that broke the Times story in 2017 – gives hope to the alien optimists.

On the science website the Debrief, the pair describe the story of a Defense intelligence whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, who has alleged that the Intelligence Community is hiding classified evidence of “intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.”

UFO’s, aliens and such can all be explained as demonic activity. What does UFOlogy have to do with Bible prophecy?

Reaching way back, you might recall something President Ronald Reagan said about aliens. In a 1987 address to the United Nations General Assembly, the great communicator said: “Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.”

Prophecy teachers point out that in the future Great Tribulation there will be a one-world government. A cleaner, more accurate way to put it is that we will have global government. Individual sovereign nations will surrender their sovereignty to a governing body, which later will be dominated by the satanic dictator we commonly call the antichrist.

What would motivate a strong, sovereign nation to surrender its sovereignty to a small group of elitists?

In today’s world, there is a trifecta of motivation:

1. The COVID19 pandemic was accompanied by calls to develop a global response. In March of this year, countries of the World Health Organization have began negotiations on a global accord on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. All around the world people are ready to acquiesce if another pandemic presents itself as potentially wiping out humans.
2. Climate Change is now Climate Crisis to most of the world. What higher motivation could there be to surrender sovereignty than to save the planet?
3. Add an alien threat to those two and citizens will be demanding global government.

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The resurrection and rapture of the church are imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Prophecy Update #749 – Climate Is Cirrus Business

The Bible is 25% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate. We are futurists when it comes to the 300 to 500 prophecies that remain. They will be fulfilled in the future in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict.

Individual sovereign nations will surrender their sovereignty to a governing body, which later will be dominated by the global dictator we commonly call the antichrist. 

Historically it has been difficult to see how globalism might take hold. Not anymore. One word describes the possible catalyst for globalism: Climate. 

One more disclaimer. I am not talking about the scientific evidence, or the lack of it, for climate change. I am looking at climate, real or not, as the impetus for globalism.

There’s a new King in town, and he’s guninn’ for climate change. foxnews.com posted an article titled, King Charles III launches ‘climate clock’ that tells what to do and by when.

Excerpts:

The Climate Clock counts down to 2030, the year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claims is the deadline to hold global warming at 1.5 degrees.

“Today with His Majesty King Charles III we launched the Climate Clock, a visual reminder of the urgency of the climate crisis,” said Nick Henry, CEO and Founder of Climate Action.

He continued, “The climate emergency poses a threat not only to the future of our city but to the future of our world and that is why it must remain a key priority.”

Not to be outdone by the British, US Climate Envoy John Kerry said, “President Joe Biden is considering announcing a climate emergency.” 

He said Biden was prepared to use “every tool available to him” to tackle climate change, including executive orders.”

Another article, this one on dailymail.com – Biden backs plan to BLOCK sunlight from the Earth in bid to limit global warming.

Excerpts:

The White House has opened the door to an audacious plan to block sunlight from hitting the surface of the Earth in a bid to halt.

Despite some scientists warning the effort could have untold side effects from altering the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, President Biden’s administration have admitted they’re open to the idea, which has never been attempted before.

In a release by the White House, officials suggested limiting sunlight to rapidly cool the planet, a process known as solar radiation modification (SRM).

The report noted several ways authorities could look to achieve SRM, all of which come with potentially devastating consequences if they backfire:

1. One method would be to significantly increase the amount of aerosols in the stratosphere, which would reflect the sun’s rays from the planet.
2. Other ideas floated included increasing cloud coverage over oceans, or reducing the amount of cirrus cloud formations, which reflect solar radiation back to the Earth.

The report noted that undertaking the mammoth task could have severe ramifications weather patterns and food supplies, which would in turn impact biodiversity, geopolitics, and health.

It also suggested that committing to the idea then backtracking and changing course could lead to abrupt warming as the suns rays suddenly heat the Earth once more.

A quote from the organization, Smart Green Post: “A little over seven years. That’s what we have left to stop climate change and reduce CO2 emissions before it reaches a point of no return. Saving the planet is a duty of each of us, no one excluded.”

Citizens, corporations, and countries are jumping on the climate issue.  There is little debate. You either want to save the planet, or you don’t. Obviously, all the nations of the world must get on board. 

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The resurrection and rapture of the church are imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Prophecy Update #748 – Let Us Do The Thinking

The Bible is 25% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate. We are futurists when it comes to the 300 to 500 prophecies that remain. They will be fulfilled in the future in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict.

Looking around, we see multiple technologies that could – and I emphasize could – end up being the fulfillment of the prophecy.

2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build- up to the future Great Tribulation. 

The Great Tribulation is a seven-year period that follows the resurrection & rapture of the church, and precedes the Second Coming of Jesus.  

It has a lot of names in the Bible. We like the name Jeremiah gave it – The Time of Jacob’s Trouble. It captures the sense of what the Tribulation is about, and that is to bring Jews to faith in Jesus Christ. 

The government will be global and totalitarian. We therefore expect governments to be moving in the direction of global, totalitarian control of citizens. 

Along those lines, I read an article titled, Obama suggests ‘digital fingerprints’ to counter misinformation ‘so we know what’s true and what’s not true.’

Excerpts:  

“The need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true,” he said. 

Obama… went on to say that today many consumers are only viewing information from sources they are predisposed to agree with and will likely believe what they see. 

“Obviously, we saw that during the vaccination stuff. So, I am concerned about it,” added Obama, referring to the COVID vaccine. 

The obvious problem with a “digital fingerprint” is who determines what is or isn’t misinformation. Obama mentioned COVID. A lot of what was flagged as misinformation, or disinformation, turned out to be true. 

This is censorship, pure and simple. It is the government telling you what to believe, and how to think. 

In a companion article, I learned that there is something called The Disinformation Governance Board. It’s part of the Department of Homeland Security. They are accused of declaring misinformation and disinformation based on politics, not facts. 

Government is moving towards totalitarian control by censoring information.

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The resurrection and rapture of the church are imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Prophecy Update #747 – AI’s Advice For Antichrist

The Bible is 25% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate. We are futurists when it comes to the 300 to 500 prophecies that remain. They will be fulfilled in the future in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict.

Looking around, we see multiple technologies that could – and I emphasize could – end up being the fulfillment of the prophecy.  

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

I always give two disclaimers:

1. We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. Sensationalism about the future is detrimental. 
2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build- up to the future seven year Great Tribulation.

We’ve been following news regarding Artificial Intelligence, AI for short. AI is of prophetic interest to us for at least these two reasons:

1. In the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we are told that, in the future Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, there is going to be “an image to the… [antichrist]” and his associate, the False Prophet, who “was granted power to give breath to the image… that the image of the [antichrist] should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the [antichrist] to be killed” (13:14-15). That sounds like it could involve AI.
2. In the last chapter of the OT Book of Daniel, we read that, in the Last Days, human knowledge will increase at an exponential rate (12:4). AI is being called mankind’s greatest achievement. It is also growing at an alarming rate, and no one seems to be able to find the brake handle. To say that AI is an example of the exponential growth of human knowledge is a severe understatement.

I want to talk to you about ChatGPT. It is a conversational AI chatbot, and has taken the world by storm. Its mind-blowing capabilities have exceeded everyone’s expectations. 

I asked ChatGPT, “Assuming that the Book of the Revelation is to be interpreted literally, how might Artificial Intelligence be used by the first Beast we commonly call the Antichrist?”

Here is the answer I received in less than a few seconds:

If we assume a literal interpretation of the Book of Revelation and speculate on the potential use of artificial intelligence (AI) by a figure commonly referred to as the Antichrist or the first beast, we can explore some hypothetical scenarios. 

1. Surveillance and Control: The Antichrist, according to some interpretations, is expected to exert great control over people’s lives. AI could play a role in establishing a comprehensive surveillance system that monitors individuals’ activities, thoughts, and behaviors. This could involve advanced facial recognition, biometric identification, and monitoring through various smart devices, potentially leading to widespread control and manipulation.

2. Deception and Propaganda: The Antichrist is often associated with deception and misleading people. AI could be employed to create sophisticated deepfake videos or generate highly convincing disinformation campaigns. By leveraging AI-powered algorithms, the Antichrist might spread propaganda and manipulate public opinion to further their own agenda.

3. Economic Domination: The Antichrist is described as having control over global commerce and trade. AI could be utilized to establish a global financial system that centralizes power and facilitates control over economic transactions. This could involve the use of digital currencies, advanced algorithms for economic forecasting and manipulation, and centralized AI-driven decision-making processes.

4. Autonomous Weapons: The Antichrist is often depicted as waging war and causing destruction. AI could be employed to develop autonomous weapons systems, such as drones or robotic soldiers, capable of carrying out military operations with minimal human intervention. These weapons could be used to enforce the Antichrist’s rule or suppress opposition.

5. Manipulation of Religious Beliefs: The Antichrist is associated with religious deception and counterfeit miracles. AI could be leveraged to analyze vast amounts of data, including religious texts, doctrines, and individual beliefs, in order to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. It could generate personalized messages or experiences that mimic divine revelations, leading people astray from their true faith.

It seems ChatGPT knows more about the End Times than most Christians.

AI is not going to break the world. God has told us what is going to happen leading up to His Second Coming to save the world from annihilation. 

We are pointing out that AI is exactly the kind of thing we expect to be happening from our futurist reading of God’s Word.

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The resurrection and rapture of the church are imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #746 – Are All Synthezoid Babies Cute?

The Bible is 25% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate. We therefore are futurists when it comes to the 300 to 500 prophecies that remain. They will be fulfilled in the future in a literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. For example, in the Book of the Revelation, we are told that there will be a global economic system that will be accessed by some kind of ‘mark’ in you or on you. Looking around, we see multiple technologies that could – and I emphasize could – end up being the fulfillment of the prophecy.  

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

I always give two disclaimers:

1. To avoid sensationalism, we are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news.
2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build- up to the future seven year Great Tribulation.

We’ve been following news regarding Artificial Intelligence, AI for short. AI is of prophetic interest to us for at least these two reasons:

1. In the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we are told that, in the future Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, there is going to be “an image to the… [antichrist]” and his associate, the False Prophet, who “was granted power to give breath to the image… that the image of the [antichrist] should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the [antichrist] to be killed” (13:14-15). That sounds like it could involve AI.
2. In the last chapter of the OT Book of Daniel, we read that, in the Last Days, human knowledge will increase at an exponential rate (12:4). AI is being called mankind’s greatest achievement. It is also growing at an alarming rate, and no one seems to be able to find the brake handle. To say that AI is an example of the exponential growth of human knowledge is a severe understatement. 

 

Hold on to that while I read excerpts from and article titled, Scientists report creation of first human synthetic model embryos. 

Excerpts:  “A team of researchers in the United States and United Kingdom say they have created the world’s first synthetic human embryo-like structures from stem cells, bypassing the need for eggs and sperm. These embryo-like structures are at the very earliest stages of human development: They don’t have a beating heart or a brain, for example. But scientists say they could one day help advance the understanding of genetic diseases or the causes of miscarriages.”

I’ll bet those guys read Marvel Comics, because the thing they are describing is Vision, the synthetic creation that is essentially empowered by AI.  All we need now is the mind stone!

AI is not going to break the world. God has told us what is going to happen leading up to His Second Coming to save the world from annihilation. 

We are pointing out that AI is exactly the kind of thing we expect to be happening from our futurist reading of God’s Word.

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The resurrection and rapture of the church are imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Prophecy Update #745 – Don’t Kill The Operator

Christians are encouraged to look forward to “the blessed hope – the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). We are encouraged to look forward to tomorrow, living with the urgency that Jesus could come today.

One of the ways we look forward to tomorrow is to consider the hundreds of unfulfilled prophecies in the Bible. We can expect the world to be moving in the direction predicted for the End Times.

We are futurists. We interpret all unfulfilled prophetic passages as future events that will occur in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context. Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.

To avoid sensationalism, we are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news.

It is also growing at an alarming rate, and no one seems to be able to find the brake handle. To say that AI is an example of the exponential growth of human knowledge is a severe understatement. 

Along those lines, I submit the following. Col. Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton, is the USAF’s Chief of AI Test and Operations. Initially, Hamilton said that an AI-enabled drone “killed” its human operator in a simulation conducted by the US Air Force in order to override a possible “no” order stopping it from completing its mission. Hamilton was describing a “simulated test” that involved an AI-controlled drone getting “points” for killing simulated targets, not a live test in the physical world.

The Air Force has since denied anything like that happened. But before they did, Hamilton was quoted  as saying the following: 

We were training it in simulation to identify and target a surface-to-air missile (SAM) threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat. The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.

Hamilton had earlier said, “AI is a tool we must wield to transform our nations… or, if addressed improperly, it will be our downfall.”

In the article I read, the reporter said,

Outside of the military, relying on AI for high-stakes purposes has already resulted in severe consequences. Most recently, an attorney was caught using ChatGPT for a federal court filing after the chatbot included a number of made-up cases as evidence. In another instance, a man took his own life after talking to a chatbot that encouraged him to do so. These instances of AI going rogue reveal that AI can go off the rails and bring harm to users. Even Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the company that makes some of the most popular AI models, has been vocal about not using AI for more serious purposes. When testifying in front of Congress, Altman said that AI could “go quite wrong” and could “cause significant harm to the world.” 

More recently, a researcher affiliated with Google Deepmind co-authored a paper that proposed a similar situation to the USAF’s rogue AI-enabled drone simulation. 

The researchers concluded a world-ending catastrophe was “likely” if a rogue AI were to come up with unintended strategies to achieve a given goal, including “[eliminating] potential threats” and “[using] all available energy.”

AI is not going to break the world. God has told us what is going to happen leading up to His Second Coming to save the world from annihilation. 

We are pointing out that AI is exactly the kind of thing we expect to be happening from our futurist reading of God’s Word.

Prophecy Update #744 – WHO Wants To Be First

Christians are encouraged to look for to “the blessed hope – the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). We are encouraged to look forward to tomorrow, living with the awareness Jesus could come today.

One of the ways we look forward to tomorrow is to consider the hundreds of unfulfilled prophecies in the Bible. We can expect the world to be moving in the direction predicted for the End Times.

We reserve a few minutes Sunday morning to suggest news, or trends, that seem to be predicted by our futurist reading of the Bible.

To avoid sensationalism, we are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news.

We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build- up to the future seven year Great Tribulation.

The Bible describes the future government of the Earth to be global. Global government, global economy, with power residing in one coalition of nations, then in one man – the antichrist. 

Certain powerful people are trying to rush global government along. They say it is for our own good that we surrender national sovereignty. 

Case in point: I read an article titled, Largely Unnoticed, WHO Moves Forward With Global Governance Plan.

Excerpts: 

Former congresswoman Michele Bachmann sounded the alarm Monday about developments coming out of the World Health Assembly that suggest that the World Health Organization (WHO) is intent on establishing “a platform for global governance through health care” in the wake of the COVID pandemic.

Observers are also pointing out that the Biden administration is working to enable the organization to “centralize authority not just for pandemics, but for any health emergency in the hands of the director-general.”

“There’s a dual track process that they’re following,” Bachman explained. “One is through a global pandemic treaty that they’re calling an accord.’ The second is through a package of about 300 amendments to the international health rules. Both lead to the same result. Both lead to the creation of a platform for global governance through health care. And it is a web that locks us in … the likes of which we’ve never seen before.”

Bachmann then laid out the WHO’s plans going forward. “One year from this week, they will take a vote. And so they intend to vote for a platform for global government and to give themselves the power that no one has ever seen before.”

“I heard from Secretary Xavier Becerra, the head of our Health and Human Services [who] said he wants more ‘bio surveillance,’ in other words, surveillance of our bodies. And then they want to share that data with everyone else in the world. This is highly invasive. They were very clear today. They want very bold language. They intend to have surveillance over every citizen on earth, and they intend to control us through health care.”

“They’ve got this concept they talked about today called ‘One Health.’ They’ve got graphics on it that show humans, animals, the Earth – ‘One Health.’ So when decisions are made about health care, they have to take into account the Earth and what the impact would be on climate change.

At the same time, she underscored, the WHO’s emphasis seems to be on “equity” rather than innovations in medicine.

“The number one word that they use besides ‘urgent’ was ‘equity.’ They want to have equal outcomes for everyone on earth with universal health care. And for those countries that are producing health products, they need to produce more health products and give them away to the world.”

We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.

We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The resurrection and rapture of the church are imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.

We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
