The IMAGE of the BEAST
Artificial Intelligence has come to dominate the headlines today. Will it bring in a glorious future of prosperity and innovation? Or will it unleash hellish destruction and the extinction of humanity?
This video explores the amazing origins and development of Artificial Intelligence into a formidable asset, establishing America as an undefeatable, global superpower. We look at the AI trends, and compare them with the ancient Biblical prophecies to come to a harrowing conclusion!
This is one video you must see!
Now, let's look at the Biblical prophecies that seem to imply the existence of Artificial Intelligence in the last days.
Knowledge Shall Increase
"But you, Daniel,
shut up the words,
and seal the book until
the time of the end;
many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall increase."
- Daniel 12:4
The prophet Daniel wrote about a "TIME OF THE END" when knowledge would exponentially increase.
Throughout the ages knowledge has increased, then been lost and destroyed, and finally recovered again. Overall, there has been a steady increase, especially since the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and now the modern Information age.
However, there has never been a continual exponential growth of knowledge -- until now -- and it actually is just beginning. The current knowledge surge is all from computers and Artificial Intelligence.
It started in 2012, with the first practical application of neural networks.
The Image That Speaks
He [False Prophet] was granted power to give
breath to the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both
speak and cause as many as would not
worship the image of the beast to be killed.
- Revelation 13:15
Note that the "image" can only do two things: "speak" and "cause to be killed." The image does not walk around as a robot. In fact, it doesn't seem to have any body at all, it is just an image -- on a screen!
The Penalty for Worship
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
"If anyone worships the beast and his image,
and receives his mark on his forehead or
on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the
wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
full strength into the cup of His indignation.
He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
in the presence of the holy angels
and in the presence of the Lamb."
- Revelation 14:9-10
The penalty for worshiping the "image" is the same as the penalty for worshiping the beast! Therefore, worshiping the image equals worshiping the beast. Why? The word "image" implies not only a physical likeness but a similar state of mind and attitude. The blasphemies from the anti-Christ beast will be the same as the blasphemies from the speaking "image."
Victory Over the Image
And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire,
and those who have the victory over the beast,
over his image
and over his mark
and over the number of his name,
standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.
- Revelation 15:2
You have to have victory over four things, and one of them is the "Image of the beast". The prevalence of the "Image of the beast" will be ubiquitous! It will be a formidable obstacle to overcome. Imagine there being two-way monitors, screens and televisions everywhere you walk. And when you pass by you will have to worship! The AI image of the Beast will recognize you and call you out by name! There will be a video of you if you don't worship! And the police will be alerted too. Additionally, your bank account will be instantly deactivated!
Worship and the Mark
So the first [angel] went and poured out his
bowl upon the earth,
and a foul and loathsome sore came upon
the men who had the mark of the beast
and those who worshiped his image.
- Revelation 16:2
Here again, we see the same penalty for worshiping the image as having the mark. The two go together, hand in hand. Worshiping the image seems to be just as common and mandatory as taking the mark. Four out of the five verses that mention "Image of the Beast" are connected to worship. This is the main function for the AI image -- to receive worship. Apparently, you can't just take the mark -- you have to continually worship the image too!
The Image Is Not a Living Being
Then the beast was captured,
and with him the false prophet
who worked signs in his presence,
by which he deceived those who
received the mark of the beast
and those who worshiped his image.
These two [Beast and False Prophet] were cast
alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
- Revelation 19:20
Of the three entities mentioned [The Beast, The False Prophet, and the Image] only TWO are cast into the lake of fire!
The image of the beast is NOT cast into the lake of fire!
This proves that the image is not a living being! The image is Artificial Intelligence (AI)!
The image IS the third part of the Satanic Trinity, using technology to be "All knowing" and "Present Everywhere" like the Holy Spirit. But the Image is not a person! And can't be judged. This is probably the strongest argument showing that the Image is Artificial Intelligence.
