A.I. [artificial intelligence] is the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot or systems to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans.
Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, addresses the dragon (Satan). “The First Beast,” (the Antichrist) is given authority by the dragon. This beast is blasphemous against God; persecutes God’s people here on earth. It rules the whole world and receives worship of the world’s inhabitants.
“The Second Beast,” the symbolic picture of false prophet and shares authority with the first beast, which causes everyone to worship the first beast. The second beast deceives the world with miracles. It orders everyone to set up an image in honor of the beast and requires everyone to receive the mark of the beast in their forehead or right hand (Revelation 13:14-17.)
Chapter 13 describes these monstrosities ferocious characters known as the unholy trinity. Much further study into the Revelation of Jesus Christ we learn these are representative of nations.
So, we have the dragon (Satan), the first beast, and the second beast. These apocalyptic beasts of this apocalyptic vision are written by John, who receives this command from Jesus Christ. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ written for our looking into the future.
It is not easily understood but offers the opportunity to study and learn more about the mind of Christ. It cryptically and mysteriously reveals what the future holds with this unholy trinity moving ahead to rule the whole world.
It sounds like something in horror movies. The big difference is that the scriptures predict this downfall (again) of mankind; but Jesus Christ returns to take His obedient servants to be in heaven with Him away from this chaotic, confused, deceived, and misguided world.
This second beast deceives the people on earth that dwell on the earth by the means of miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. He was yet alive.
In Revelation 13:15 (NIV), it reads: “The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 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.”
Daniel 3:1-7 also speaks about a huge image of 90 feet high and nine feet wide. This was ordered by Nebuchadnezzar. His actions were similar then as is now - either you worship my image, or you die. In the Revelation comparison, either you take this mark of the beast, or you are stricken from society for you cannot have any resources… can’t buy or sell.
Now here is my take on this. A.I. is being introduced more and more into our society. There is becoming less and less ability to distinguish between flesh and bones (human) and artificial intelligence. The time is coming and not far off when there will be less and less use for human beings.
More and more A.I. is being poured into educational systems. This image is called such because it relates to the mark or expression. It carries a designation that no one dare to reject it or risk death. You, all being highly intelligent, can imagine these things to be true.
You will not be able to distinguish a robot, which has all the features of a human being but is not a real human being. Just think of it! Why are there millions of abortions?? There will be less human beings to deal with. People are thinking they’re making progress, but it is devolution spiraling forward to the last, but at the same time downward.
Will the artificially intelligent beings roam around here on earth and not recognizable because the “intelligence” has gone so far. But don’t worry. We have an outlet and refuge. Run to Jesus! Don’t walk! Confess Him Now! Accept Him Now as your Lord and Savior. It’s not too late!!
Tucker Carlson, who was fired from the FOX network and is now an evangelist (whether he knows it or not), said something recently which makes a lot of sense: “When honest people say what’s true … they become powerful,” he said in the video, adding that those attempting to “silence them” get “weaker.” “True things prevail,” he declared.
The scriptures declare this to be true also. Just consider our example in Jesus Christ.
