AI

AI ... Artificial Intelligence. It's finally arrived! Not coming but it's here. Perhaps in its infancy stage but nevertheless it's here.  This is the unavoidable future trend. All nations will embrace AI and all peoples of the earth will be under its influence. In the very near future you will not be able to buy or sell without being "governed" by AI. Your going in and your going out will be under the watchful eyes of AI. Just this morning news, Thailand is looking into how AI can help ease its traffic congestion as current technology has proven insufficient. In Japan, an optical shop employs AI in helping customers select spectacles they would purchase. It's not just about the tech. It's about the ability of the tech to determine what's better for you. There will come a time when one will be talking to an AI robot or hologram just like in the futuristic movies.

I began by saying, "It's finally arrived". Meaning, there was a waiting period. When you purchase something online, for a fact it will arrive. It's a matter of when. Two thousand years ago, the appearance of AI (machine intelligence) was already recorded in the book of Revelation 13. At the island of Patmos where Apostle John was exiled, God gave him a glimpse into the future. There he saw a lifeless image (statue, robot, hologram) coming to life (robotic age). Two things John saw in the vision. For one, the whole world worshiped the image. Today you can see how people’s lives are so ingrained in technology that it has become inseparable. Literally people all over the world are glued to their cell phones and tablets. Secondly, John saw how the image (AI) controlled the lives of people worldwide. There is a new god in town. It’s called TECHNOLOGY.

15 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. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name (Rev. 13).

The book of Revelation ought to be read at least once a year. Many have lost the fear of the Lord. We are now living in a time where what was written in Revelation is already happening and yet many are not aware of the warnings of Revelation. The world is getting “smaller” because of technology. The demands in life have increased with advancement in technology. Who are we worshiping today? Are we even aware of the fact that Jesus is coming soon? Do we even care about His return? What John saw blew his mind. I have the notion John saw into our present time. This is not the time to get distracted. Remember Jesus' caution: KEEP WATCH!
