There is a song called “Dystopia” on the Japanese band’s OneOkRock’s album “Detox.” The imagery on the screen in the concert is all Illuminati stuff. In this particular band’s repertoire the “Puppet Masters” seem to be recognized and called out, not advocated, as in so many of the popular bands today.
It’s like they “get it.” It’s like they are warning their fans. More likely their fans are the ones who do get it, and they speak to that audience.
Except it is still not truth. So close, but not.
You and I know the truth. This world IS headed for dystopia. It is coming under the auspices of a figure know as the Antichrist.
There have been many, many anti-Christs over the centuries since Jesus came as a baby in the manger. There is one that is coming, described in the book of Revelation. Fascinating reading.
I am beginning to think this Antichrist is intrinsically connected to our current newest tech development, Artificial Intelligence.
You and I both use AI (looks like Al, with an “el” but is actually capital “eye”–I) if we are using a smart phone or computer at all.
The warnings about AI have been steadily coming, but we still see it as a harmless (mostly) tool.
Here’s where I’ve been a bit freaked out by it: distortions of reality. Being fooled by generated material.
Case No. One: dolphin and wildcat in the ocean. I love to watch heart-warming stories about animal rescues. I am an animal lover. It wasn’t long ago when I started to question these stories as being computer generated and the photo-shop was incredible! It was easy to be taken in by the story, the amazing graphics, the great story. But then reality hits.
No way! This couldn’t even be possible.
Case No. Two; text messages that accuse you of doing something bad like forgetting to pay a fee or fine. Boy, are these real sounding! To avoid scams we need to take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt. Verification becomes a necessity.
On a Chinese show someone in China got a phone notification that indicated something positive. Her friend “verified” it. Par for the course—everything must be verified in every country.
But that is getting harder too. Verifying things is cumbersome and time consuming. Isn’t it easier just to ignore?
As AI gets more comprehensive we are more at its mercy. It can change things slightly and incrementally, luring us humans into complete dystopia gradually and surely.
Do you have a paper copy of God’s Word? AI could incrementally change the Word of God. In this world of information overload we need to constantly be questioning the veracity of any information.
As a computer engineer, Ed has struggled with the philosophical implications of this computer age. Think about the feet of the giant figure that Daniel the Prophet saw in his dream—dust. A kingdom ruled by silicon. Perhaps?
Hold on to your old copy of Scripture. We must navigate this world of tech AI, but we can never lose sight of the truth. Scripture is reliable (I like the English KJV translation very, very much as it used Textus Receptus exclusively) and we can discern truth and trust the Lord that He has preserved His Word for us until now.
I trust Him in this.
But I am wary of AI and what it could do to change Scripture. I am wary of the dystopia coming.
As a Rapture believer I trust that Jesus will snatch us out of here before Antichrist really takes control, but I must warn those who still hold to a truth apart from Christ Jesus. That is my job as a “watchman.”
Be alert! Satan will deceive like he did as a serpent with Eve in the garden in Genesis. He is still deceiving.
We trust the Lord our God, and we can remain hopeful that He will continue to protect us! We still must guard our hearts AND MINDS and be Bereans who check every thing according to Scripture!
So have a hard copy of God’s Word. Always watch for alterations. AI can be incredibly convincing. How easy to be swept down its path of deception. Satan can manipulate tech, but God can, of course, too.
Nothing is impossible with God.
We must know truth.
I think of the millions in Japan and around the world, sensing, like the band I mentioned, a coming deception, but unaware of the truth in Jesus Christ that can preserve and protect us from that deception.
We are fighters. We must wear armor. We know our foe. Thanks be to God!
We are not unaware.
It is sweet to be trusting of people, expecting the good, giving the benefit of the doubt. How many times have you shared something false on social media? WE have all done it, I assert. We tend to share things from sources we’ve learned to trust, especially “Christian” sources. Some of us trust “mainstream” sources of information.
But be wise as serpents, innocent as doves. So says the Word.
Don’t get taken in. Navigate this world with discretion.
I pray Jesus comes SOON. The deception is only getting stronger. I pray for us to know the truth and be able to discern the lies. I just don’t trust myself much anymore!
But Jesus knows. He is the Preserver. He will keep me, as He promised.
What about your friends?
The door of the ark is shutting, even as God did the shutting in the time of Noah. They need to know this truth of Jesus, more than ever!
Come Lord Jesus!
MARANATHA!
I would like to strongly recommend my friend’s work and research. Carl Teichrib wrote a book called “Game of Gods” which is MUST READING. Also, listen to his interviews, which are multiple. What he talks about is probably over the heads of 90% of us, but he is a watchman, fully monitoring the trends that drive our societies. What I wrote today is pablum compared to the steaks Carl gives us.
I still struggle with convincing some of my dear ones of even the most basic information regarding coming events. Perhaps you struggle with this too. There are times I want to bash a book on the head—-WAKE UP!!!!!!
Only the Holy Spirit can remove the scales from the eyes. Yes, we must continue to warn, but it is God who opens the eyes and ears. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Rest in that truth.
I so appreciate Carl and his wife LeAnne. They are true friends. I am honored to know them. Whenever they visit Corgi Hollows I am treated to stories of his recent escapades! Always amazing—always helpful in navigating our walk in this age. Please, please, for your good, check out his material. He is a researcher par excellence.
