The Mark of the Beast and AI



The Bible does not explicitly say that AI technology will be used by the beast in Revelation to control those with the mark of the beast. However, there are some passages that could be interpreted as suggesting this. For example, Revelation 13:16-17 says that "the mark of the beast, or the number of his name," will be "given to everyone who buys or sells." This could be interpreted as meaning that the mark will be a form of digital identification that will be used to track and control people's economic activity.

In addition, Revelation 13:18 says that "no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark," which could be interpreted as meaning that the mark will be necessary for people to participate in the economy. This would give the beast a great deal of power over people, as he could control their access to food, water, and other essential goods and services.

It is also possible that AI technology could be used to monitor and control people who have the mark of the beast. For example, AI could be used to track people's movements, monitor their online activity, and even control their thoughts and behavior. This would give the beast an unprecedented level of control over people's lives.

Of course, it is also possible that the mark of the beast will not be a form of digital identification or that AI will not be used to control those who have it. However, the passages in Revelation that mention the mark do suggest that it could be used to give the beast a great deal of power over people.

It is important to note that the Bible is not a science fiction novel, and it is not possible to say for sure what the mark of the beast will be or how it will be used. However, the passages in Revelation that mention the mark do raise some interesting questions about the potential dangers of AI technology.

The “Sons of God” “Sang Together” at the earth's foundation!

Image
Intro : In Job 38: The text is God speaking to Job about the earth's creation and uses the phrase " sons of God " to refer to angelic beings who witnessed and celebrated ( sang together ) at the forming of the world and its foundation (Job 38:7). This is supported by other uses of the phrase in Job (1:6, 2:1) and other parts of the Old Testament. In Genesis 6 : The identity of the "sons of God" are fallen angels . This view sees the "sons of God" as angels who rebelled against God and intermarried with human women, leading to the birth of the Nephilim and the eventual flood. This aligns with the portrayal of angels in other parts of the Bible (e.g., Jude 6). Some think this conflicts with Matthew 22:30, which suggests angels don't marry. However, this is angels marrying angels. When two angels accompanied Christ, visiting Abraham on the way to judge Sodom, the angels were in human form and ate food. They are powerful enough to chan...

Similarities between Gnosticism and Calvinism

Image
Gnosticism and Calvinism are two distinct theological systems with different origins and core tenets. However, despite their differences, there are some intriguing similarities between the two that warrant exploration. These similarities primarily revolve around the concepts of election, dualism, knowledge, and limited atonement. Election and Predestination: Both Gnosticism and Calvinism emphasize the concept of election, where a select group is chosen for salvation. In Gnosticism, this election is based on possessing special knowledge (gnosis) or belonging to a spiritual elite. Gnostics believe that only those with this esoteric knowledge can transcend the material world and achieve salvation. Similarly, Calvinism upholds the doctrine of predestination, where God has sovereignly chosen a select few for salvation before the foundation of the world. While the basis for election differs between the two systems (knowledge vs. divine decree), the concept of a predetermined gro...

All humans and 9 of 10 animals may be descended from an original pair due to a catastrophic event

Why Should Mitochondria Define Species? A Review and Analysis News summary: All humans may be descended from an original pair and a catastrophic event almost wiped out ALL species 100,000 years ago,study suggests.  Five million mitochondria Genetic 'bar codes' of 100,000 animals and humans from different species were surveyed. Research prompted speculation humans and 9 of 10 animals sprang from single pair. This may have happened after a catastrophic event after the last ice age. Scientists surveyed 5 million genetic 'bar codes' of humans and 100,000 different species and the results have prompted speculation that we sprang from a single pair of adults after a catastrophic event almost wiped out the human race. Stoeckle and Thaler, the scientists who headed the study, concluded that ninety percent of all animal species alive today come from parents that all began giving birth at roughly the same time, less than 250 thousand years ago - throwing into doubt t...
