Introduction: Probably by now you’ve heard of AI – ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Last week, the U.S. foreign relations committee met with Pete Ricketts who reported concerns for the swift advancement of “Artificial Intelligence.” There has already been some misinformation that has circulated throughout our country and the world. For example, through “Deep Fakes,” the Ukrainian President Zelensky was heard voicing his surrender to the Russians. Needless to say, it was not true. AI is not necessarily bad. There can be some good uses? But where is all this going?
John, inspired by God, writes concerning the future capabilities of the Antichrist and False Prophet. Could AI play a role in this future scenario? Consider the four areas that ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is prone to impact:
1. Artificial Intelligence in our HOME! (Rev 13:14)
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
This “image” that will be set up by the False Prophet will be able to “speak.” The word means to talk. Now through facial recognition, which is operated by a camera and which is linked to a criminal database, homeowners can immediately detect criminals attempting to break into their home. Smart fabric (clothes) can register a person’s temperature with virtual checkups with a Doctor in the bathroom. Smart tables have the capability to keep coffee hot and ice tea cold by just sitting on top of the table. Solar panels provide electricity to homes and cars. By the way, an article just written stated that in seven years, solar panels will be piled in landfills the size of 3,000 FOOTBALL FIELDS! Fantasy has turned into Reality!!
2. Artificial Intelligence in our HEART! (Rev 13:11)
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
This false Prophet will come as a religious ruler. Many believe he will come from Israel, whereas the Antichrist will be a gentile. However today, Christian relationships must not be established by AI, but instead by the H.S. (Holy Spirit).
3. Artificial Intelligence in our HEALTH! (Rev 13:12)
“And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
Did you notice the “deadly wound was healed”? Mental, physical, and spiritual healing is greatly needed today. While AI can be used for some healing only JESUS CHRIST can bring real spiritual healing! Forgiveness of sin can be found in His precious blood!!
4. Artificial Intelligence not in HEAVEN! (Rev 13:8,16-18)
“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: 17And 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…”
Jesus, depicted as the Stone in Daniel 2, will crush the Antichrist and the false prophet. Their run will come to an abrupt end! Jesus will then establish His kingdom on earth. Immediately following the thousand years, He will create a New Heaven and a New Earth, without the help of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Conclusion: Our Lord desires for all to turn from sin and trust in Him. Have you? Remember. Jesus is in control even with ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
