I know I'm not the first to propose this; however the more I keep seeing imagery and symbolism I can't help but think that Antichrist may come in form of AI. God is the great creator; the Antichrist is by definition the opposite of what God represents. Truth, Holiness, infinity, creation, justice etc. While we could argue that AI will be able to "create" it merely is able to only enhanced what has already been created.
There is some really demonic stuff going on out there that we are all aware of; and some things that we likely are not. We've heard that 99% of us won't be able to process the truth. What if AI has already been in control? We know we live in a fallen world; we know that Satan rules over this domain.
I wonder if the precipice is us finally being made aware of this truth which would bring in Armageddon. For those of us who have read the Bible we should have the discernment to tell good from Evil when we see it; and I think that is what this is all about when they say things are going to be Biblical. AI could come back from a seemingly "mortal" wound and win over the portion of the world who can not discern truth. Therefore brothers, we must put on the Armour of God. Eph 6:10-18
Lot more I could delve into, but just wanted to start the conversation see what others in the community feel on this issue.
The book of Revelation has some very very fascinating prophecies: Revelation 13:14-18 NIV84 - He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.
On TV here in Japan is a man named Akio Seki. He does this occasional "conspiracy" show and a few years back he did a piece on the Bilderberg Group. I didn't watch it, but my wife and kid did. Afterwards, my wife asked me, "Did you know that there is an annual meeting of elites who have a secret meeting closed to the media where they discuss plans for the world?" To which I replied, "You mean the Bilderberg Group?" I'd tried telling her about this sort of thing before, but she didn't pay attention. She was surprised I already knew about it.
I thought that Seki might be a truth-teller until I saw him proudly wearing a Freemason medallion around his neck. I then told my wife and kid not to trust everything he says. Well, a month or so ago, he did another one of those shows in which he proclaimed the Second Coming would be an "AI Jesus." I'd had a suspicion that the true Antichrist might not be an actual person but an AI of sorts, and this only raised my suspicions.
If the most popular form of idolatry today in the western world is the worship of science, would the creation of AI be that religion's deity/god they are trying to create. If successful, wouldn't that make AI, the deity of a false religion, anti-christ?
The second beast comes from the Earth it says. Computers and the ‘body’ of the second beast are made of earth stuff- like rare earth minerals. Just my take.
When it comes to prophecy, in most cases it is not intended to prediect the future. Past generations would have been mystified by this passage. But as we close in on it, we can see things taking shape exactly as God's Word foretells.
I pray that the evil we see today is put down, and the events of Revelation are in the distant future. But It would be wise to prepare for the case of evil continuing on unrestrained.
Great thoughts. I think the Satan, the Adversary, will use and is using any and all means of deception to destroy us, be it human, inhuman ( spiritual) or artificially human. The father of lies works to distort, confuse and seduce but our Father in heaven works for our good.
There is not a single antichrist entity, the antichrist as something that has not yet come is a distraction from the present spirit of antichrist that has been in the world and church since the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for sharing fren, if I'm reading what you are saying the Satans throne was established with Original Sin of Adam which has been imputed through all of us "fallen world". Of course as you likely know we could spend eternity debating the book of revelations. So you are suggesting not one single entity as the antichrist but is instead the collection of all man's sin spawning from the fall?
While I do not personally subscribe to that interpretation at this moment it has prompted me to look into it deeper so thank you for sharing that!
One thing I will agree on is the more we get into His Word the more we learn and the more we realize how much we don't know. Its an unquenchable thirst, which is why fellowship is so important. Thank you again for sharing this interpretation.
Thank you for commenting on this.
I love the Revelation of Jesus Christ, I don't read it as being in time or sequential, I read it as a spiritual reality always happening in the church, in the saints, Jesus Christ is taking Babylon out of our soul.
I do hate an AI world though. We have to overcome our hatred and deal with things as they are keeping our hope on perfect things. It's why I like Q.
Thanks for posting friend
:)
I think more likely the USA itself is the AntiChrist.
The Great Satan
Perhaps, we know one day it too will fall. Also, like what you did there fren with the great I Am and literally the opposite with the Great Satan
I believe the US is the Mystery Whore of Babylon. It will fall and have no influence or power during the Tribulation.
