AI- The Final Rebellion

Part 2- The Biblical References to Artificial Intelligence in the Prophetic Scriptures

By Mike Wingfield

Knowledge and technological advances in our world are growing at a breakneck pace, offering proof that we are living in the last of the last days. This proof comes from God’s written revelation in the Bible. The Bible says that in the last of days, man will be living in a word that is filled with rapid advances in knowledge and technological capabilities. Previous generations, and even the Bible writers, could not have understood what was revealed by God to the prophets and apostles.

At the end of his illustrious life, the ancient prophet of Israel, Daniel, expressed to God that he did not fully understand all the visions and revelation that had been given to him about the end times. He asked God, “And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?” (Daniel 12:8) God responded to Daniel, “Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand: but the wise shall understand” (Daniel 12:9-10).

God told Daniel that he would die and never know the depths of the infinite revelation he had been given. The truths revealed to the ancient biblical writers would be protected, concealed, and remain a mystery that would not be unraveled until the end times. Only when the end is about to unfold will those who are wise be illumined by the Holy Spirit concerning the mysteries of the end times. Clearly, the wise are those who truly know the One who is the fountain of all wisdom, understanding, and knowledge (Proverbs 9:10).

However, the wicked, those who do not know or fear God, walk in darkness and confusion. They never understand what is really happening. We live in a generation of educated fools. Many people are brilliant in the acquisition of academic and scientific data. However, their pride blinds them and causes them to erroneously think they are in control of their own destiny.

With the introduction of Artificial Intelligence, man has introduced the ultimate scheme and model of his prideful thinking. Those who promote AI are playing God. This is the ultimate blasphemous attempt by man to reorder God’s creation. They do not know it, but these brilliant thinkers are making themselves available to the devil, his demons, and his Antichrist in the war that is raging in the spirit world against the holy, Almighty God.

The curtain is about to rise on the final act of rebellion against God. The false church of today is void of spiritual truth, and like the wicked, professing Christians do not understand what is taking place around them. The Tribulation Period is about to begin. The Antichrist is about to make his appearance. The true church is soon to make its grand exit and meet Jesus in the clouds.

According to the intricate details of the prophetic Scriptures, there are several developments in the last days that will require access to the technological advances. Clearly, these advances have burst onto the scene in the last few decades. Without these advanced technologies these biblical prophecies could not be fulfilled. There are at least four major future events that will require the use of our modern technologies. Let us examine them!

#1- The Two Jewish Witnesses of the First Half of the Tribulation Period

Shortly after the Rapture of the church to heaven, the Antichrist will “confirm” [strengthen] a “covenant” with Israel and “many” other kings (Daniel 9:27). The Bible tells us that 10 kings who are contemporaries with Antichrist will precede him in making peace with Israel (Daniel 7:24; Revelation 17:12-13). The Antichrist’s participation in this peace agreement will capture the attention of the entire world.

Just three years ago, the world was engrossed with the events of the Abraham Peace Accord. This series of joint relationship agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain were signed on the lawn of the White House on September 15, 2020. This agreement was brokered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former U.S. President Donald Trump. Thanks to satellite internet technology, the world watched in real time as these four men signed the peace accord document in Washington D.C. One can only imagine the news coverage on the coming day when the Antichrist and an Israeli delegation gather to sign a covenant that promises peace to the Middle East. This covenant will no doubt be touted as the pinnacle of peace-making achievements to resolve the longstanding Arab-Israeli conflict.

According to the Bible, on that same day, God’s unique two Jewish witnesses will appear in Jerusalem (Revelation 11:3-4). At first, the appearance of these two men will probably not garner much attention. However, as the two men oppose the Antichrist and those who are in league with him, the entire world will watch the drama as it begins to unfold. As the two witnesses are threatened, they will respond by calling down fire upon their enemies (Revelation 11:5). No doubt the believers in Israel will point to the events in 2 Kings 1:9-15 when Elijah defended himself in this same manner. Furthermore, the two witnesses will turn the water on earth into a blood red color. Like Elijah in I Kings 17-18, their power over their enemies will bring about a three and one-half year global drought. These conditions will worsen the already serious climate changes that are threatening life on earth. Like Elijah in the Old Testament (1 Kings 18), the two witnesses will become public enemy number one. The global population will hurl a steady stream of false accusations against the two men. They will accuse them of endangering the lives of everyone on earth.

This war between the Antichrist and the two witnesses will ultimately cause the Antichrist to break his treaty with Israel. He will march into Jerusalem and seize the Temple Mount (Revelation 11:1-2). He will stop the sacrifices at the newly rebuilt temple (Daniel 9:27; 2 Thessalonians 2:4).At this same time, God will allow the Antichrist to kill the two Jewish witnesses (Revelation 11:7). The anger directed toward God and His witnesses will enrage the Antichrist and he will display his wrath by leaving the bodies of the two witnesses to decay in the streets of Jerusalem for three and one-half days (Revelation 11:8-9) Once again, the satellite technology of real-time imagery will permit the world to continually observe the decomposing bodies of the two witnesses. These reports will illicit a joyful celebration around the world (Revelation 11:9-10).

Suddenly, the Lord will glorify Himself by calling the two witnesses back to life and instantly taking them up to heaven. All of this will be viewed around the world in real-time as it takes place. This will horrify the people. And if that were not enough, the Bible says, “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them [the two witnesses] Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them” (Revelation 11:13). As the Lord speaks from heaven, a powerful earthquake will rock Jerusalem, killing 7,000 people.

This text was written by the Apostle John near the end of the first century. We cannot begin to comprehend how those who have read these verses for more than 19 centuries struggled to understand how the world could watch these events happen in real time. We are the first generation that could possibly visualize how all of this could take place. As a matter of fact, we view these kinds of images on our screens as a normal and everyday occurrence. All of this is a part of the mind-boggling technology that has preceded AI. Now we are about to witness the final quantum leap in this technology.

#2- The Living Appearance of the Image of the Antichrist

With the death of the two witnesses, and the Temple Mount back in his hands, the Antichrist will enter the holy place of the Jewish temple and declare himself to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:4). He will demand global worship as a symbol of his authority over all nations (Revelation 13:7-8). His anger will drive him to defiantly strike back at God by opening “his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven” (Revelation 13:6).

At this time another significant figure will enter the picture – the false prophet. John tells us that the Antichrist, pictured as a beast, will rise “out of the sea” (Revelation 13:1). This symbolism indicates that he will be a Gentile. However, the false prophet, also depicted as a beast, will rise “out of the earth” (Revelation 13:11). This indicates he will be Jewish.

The false prophet will support the Antichrist. God will allow Satan to give him power to perform “great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men” (Revelation 13:13). This will be a deceptive imitation of the unique powers of the two witnesses. At this point in time, the false prophet will unveil an image of the Antichrist. This image will look and speak like the Antichrist (Revelation 13:15).

I find it amazing that the Bible tells us that the false prophet will be Jewish. It is highly likely that he may be an Israeli who will create the image of the Antichrist and unite the radical left in Israel to submit to the Antichrist and his false peace covenant with Israel. It is not an accident that Israel is currently one of the major participants in the creation, production, and advancement of the global high-tech industry. Many of the technological features that are inside our smart phones and computers were created in Israel. Israel is also one of the leading nations in advancing AI. Therefore, it is not surprising that the technology behind the image of the Antichrist will come out of Israel.

One of the goals of AI is to create virtual twins of human beings. This technology has advanced to the point that many AI robots appear to be just as real in appearance and actions as their human twin. We now have the capability to do this for the first time in human history. With the use of Neuralink implants in the brain, man now can scan the brain of a person and upload that information into the computer brain of the AI robot. Therefore, that person’s virtual twin can have their memories, emotions, vocal projection, and personality. In other words, the robot will look like, move like, and speak like their real human double.

The scientific achievements of AI have now brought us to the time when the virtual twin of the Antichrist will become a reality. Previous generations could not have imagined how this image could appear to be like a living human being. However, it is all very clear to us. We are living in a world where this is taking place. The global population is being prepared for the Antichrist and his virtual twin. It is only a matter of time.

#3- The Mark of the Beast’s Economic Technology

At the same time the false prophet and Antichrist unveil the Antichrist’s image, they will also divulge their economic plan that will force every person on the planet to submit to the digital economic program of the Antichrist. Attached to this economic policy will be the numerical value of the name of the Antichrist – 666 (Revelation 13:18).Within Islam, the number 666 is considered a sacred number. It is the number of their god, Allah. In the wars of the Middle East, the number and name are worn on the headbands of most of the Islamic terrorists that view themselves as the army of Allah.

In some digital numerical form that is not currently known, every person on earth will be forced to receive this identification number – 666. If they refuse to submit to the authority and edict of the Antichrist, they will find it impossible to economically function (Revelation 13:17).

Somehow, this identification number will be placed on the right hand, or the forehead. While we cannot be dogmatic about this, it appears that a small computer chip, about the size of a grain of rice, will be injected just under the skin. This will become each person’s recognizable international passport. Inside of this chip will be the technology to access a person’s vital identification information. It will contain the ability to both receive and transmit information instantly. Like our current computer chip information on our credit cards, it will instantly connect us with the international security and economic systems around the globe. This will give the One World government of the Antichrist the ability to track the location and information of everyone who submits to the Antichrist’s identification system.

Once again, previous generations could not have possibly understood how the Antichrist would be able to have this kind of knowledge, control, and power. However, we now live in a world where we understand that we have this technology and the ability to make it function. As a matter of fact, more than 50,000 people worldwide have already received a microchip in their hand. This is not the final version that contains the numerical identity that will be demanded by the Antichrist and his one-world government. However, it does appear to be a pre-cursor to it.

International powerbrokers have already prepared a digital economic system. All they need to do is to finish installing the electronic systems to make their dream come true. It is projected that we are only 12-18 months away from the time when the central bank digital system will be enforced in the U.S. This U.S. digital central bank system will allow the federal government to track and control the individual financial transactions of every American! The Antichrist, whoever and wherever he is, must be smiling!

Several reliable sources indicate that the World Health Organization [WHO] has announced that it is creating a global digital passport and ID system that will be introduced and enforced sometime in 2024. The goal is to force everyone to take a vaccination for COVID-19, or the next global pandemic.

The evil dream of malicious dictators will finally become a reality. They will be able to control every facet of our lives. It appears that the technology used by the Antichrist during the Tribulation Period is almost ready for implementation.

#4- The Future Global Center of the Antichrist and His Technological Systems

According to the Bible, the Antichrist will have a high-tech global command center that will control the lives of everyone on earth. The Holy Spirit caused the Apostle John to record for us two significant chapters in the Book of Revelation about this command center. In Revelation 17-18, John wrote about the political, religious, and economic control center of the Antichrist and his religion. In these two chapters the beast is the Antichrist and his earthly kingdom. The harlot, as presented in a multitude of Scriptures, is a false religion that has plagued Israel and the Middle Eastern nations for centuries. A study of these two chapters and the Old Testament passages that John quoted and alluded to point to an area located in the vicinity of the Old Babylonian Empire. It is my conviction, based upon Scripture, that this area is in the Middle East, and more specifically in the Persian Gulf area.

When this Global Command Center of the Antichrist is destroyed at the end of the Tribulation, as recorded in Revelation 18, it will garner an overwhelming heavenly response as seen in Revelation 19. John wrote about the heavenly reaction, “And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God. For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore [false religion], which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand” (Revelation 19:1-2).

The last verse of chapter 18 that precedes this heavenly response reads, “And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth” (Revelation 18:24). A study of the Old Testament Scriptures and the history of the Middle East indicate that one of the main ancient false gods was the crescent moon god (Judges 8:26-28). Today, the enemy nations that surround Israel are still worshiping the crescent moon god of Islam, called Allah. Many Christian scholars who were former Muslims testify that the religion of Islam that was founded by Muhammed almost 15 centuries ago, is nothing more than a revival of an ancient crescent moon religion that traces its roots back to the days of Abraham 4,000 years ago.

If all of this is true, then we should expect to see some preparation for the center of the Antichrist kingdom in the Persian Gulf area. Considering this, it is most intriguing to follow what is happening with Saudi Arabia’s plans to build a mega technological global commercial center called Neom. This name means “new future.” This massive area will be 33 times larger than New York City. It is being constructed in the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia, on the banks of the Red Sea. [See map on this page.] These plans call for this city to be built upon the remains of a mountain called Jebel al-Lawz. Many scholars believe this is the location of Mount Sinai where God gave Moses and the children of Israel the law. I agree with their conclusion. There are a lot of ancient physical markings from this historical period (see above) that indicate the presence of a Jewish encampment here.

According to the Bible, Moses was living in Midian when God spoke to him from the burning bush. Later, Moses returned to this same mountain where he received the 10 Commandments. Ancient Midian is today called Saudi Arabia. How fitting that the Command Center of the Antichrist at the end of this age would be in the same location where the people of Israel received the law from the God of Israel. Satan has always attempted to imitate God!

The very first global rebellion against God was at the Tower of Babel, located in “a plain in the land of Shinar” (Genesis 11:2). Today this is in Iraq, the center of the Islamic world for centuries.

In the days of Nimrod, the people came together in opposition to God’s authority and laws (Genesis 11). Before they reached their goal of building their tower, God stopped them by confusing their language.

How fascinating it is to consider the first and last global rebellions of a One-World government are in the same general geographical area. The world is ignoring God’s law and wants to replace God’s order in the very place where He gave the law. Jesus has exclaimed, “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (Matthew 5:18).

Several years ago, Israel reported, “Saudi Prince Muhammad Bin Salman has developed a plan to spearhead a massive transformation of Saudi Arabia to move past being an oil-dependent economy; to move toward a moderate Islam; and into a peaceful and technologically advanced future” (The International Jerusalem Post, December 13-19, 2019, p. 21). The Saudi Prince’s goal is to bring the world together in one place. He wants to create a new way of life for all people.

Furthermore, Saudi Arabia’s leadership is devoting itself to becoming a world leader in AI and humanoid robotics. Saudi Arabia was the first nation to grant citizenship to a humanoid robot, named Sophia. Sophia recently spoke on behalf of Saudi Arabia at a UN summit on “AI for Good.”

Everything is in place for the final conflict between heaven and hell. Israel is back in the land. Israel is also in turmoil between those who believe the Bible and those who reject the Bible. The impact of Islam is growing around the globe. More Christians are being martyred for Christ by Muslims than ever before. The technology that the Antichrist will use to dominate the world is already available. Jesus said, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

The history of life on earth is drawing near its predicted end. It is all taking place as God has ordained. God is orchestrating the events in His creation to His conclusion. Your life here has been a test to prepare you for living in eternity. Are you ready?

Please do not fail to surrender your life to the Lord Jesus. He is the only way to heaven. He declared “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Those who fail to believe in Him and make Him their Lord are doomed to suffer in the fires of eternal damnation. Please call out to Him today before it is too late!

The Rise of Evil in the Land of Israel

According to many Scriptures, when the Tribulation Period begins, Israel will be fighting against a rebellious people. Today, Israel is facing a very dangerous division in the land between the religious and the secular Jews. It seems as if the liberal left is attempting to rip the nation apart.

Liberal political leaders are calling for civil rebellion against the newly elected conservative biblical coalition of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government. Hiding behind the false cry for democracy, the liberal left is promoting the wokeism and immoral agenda that is tearing nations apart. The liberal left in Israel is afraid that the new Israeli government will align itself with the Bible in its policies and practices. Leading the liberals in Israel are former liberal prime ministers Yair Lapid, Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert. These men do not support a unique Zionist Jewish nation. They want Israel to be a liberal nation that is like all the other nations. They want to create a Palestinian State and divide the land, giving the Palestinians the West Bank and parts of Jerusalem.

In recent weeks the LGBT groups are forcing their agenda in Jerusalem. They want to change the Lord’s agenda for the Holy City. In general, there is a shocking rise in atheism in Israel and a rebellion against Messianic Jews. Recently, Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli intellectual, historian, and professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, called for the creation of a new AI version of the Bible. He stated that in this modern era we need to replace the outdated version of the Bible. Satan is doing his best to destroy or discredit the modern nation of Israel as a tool in the hand of Almighty God.
