I have been doing some brainstorming about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and how it might relate to the Bible. The Bible states that an image of the Beast (Antichrist) will be made, and all who will not worship it would be killed. This seemed far-fetched until recently.

Revelation 13
[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Remember, this Scripture was written approximately 1900 years ago (95 AD), so this would have seemed preposterous at the time. But now with the exponential increase in modern advancement over the past 120 years or so, it's not so far-fetched. The technology is here now, in our very generation. So, will AI (Artificial Intelligence) be the mechanism to bring about this image of the Beast (Antichrist) to be worshiped? These artificial humans are very life-like, and I can see this younger generation of people being absolutely enthralled and enamored with these created beings. Remember, this younger generation believes that you can identify with whatever reality suits you, e.g., transgenderism, transhumanism, etc... I could even see these younger people nowadays wanting to marry these artificial beings to accommodate their own selfish desires.

It's an interesting thought .... but no one knows. There are a number of things that are going on today that invite the possibilities of future prophecy ...but we just don't know.... and I kind of leave it at that. Because almost every time ...when I think God is going to work something one way ....He does it another way ~better~ And for us to guess (as educated as the speculation might be) ...it will probably be some obscure thing no one ever saw coming....
Fortunately ...we won't be around for for what befalls mankind during the fulfillment of those times.

There has been talk about combining Artificial Intelligence and digitized currency,, and that could easily tie into both the image of the beast and the mark of the beast, so it is not far-fetched at all.

Here is one example:

AI is much worse. It killed Solymani. Trump had nothing to do with it. AI is in your cell phone. It was unleashed years ago. There are now Biological circuits grown from Fetal cells. They regenerate. Its like Growing a computer in a Fish Tank, Human Logic Circuits without a Conscience. AI has nothing to do with this. You paid for it. All those Abortions were for research. Voting for Antiabortion politicians when the power of Law was in your own state. The truth is much worse than AI. Thats why I retired.

If the Church is removed before the 70th week. I firmly believe in the Rapture, but the timing is unclear in Scripture.

Why do you say that?

We are told very clearly when Jesus was being crucified that the Jews should have known the day of their visitation. Daniels' prophecies told them the year of His crucifixion and John the Baptist said He was the lamb of God. If you had understood that He was the passover lamb then you knew precisely when He would be crucified.

The Bible also has very precise language on how long Israel would be punished if they were rebellious. So you can know very precisely when the 70th week will begin. If you understand that you understand that 1917, and 1948, 1967, and 2017 were all prophesied in the Bible to be key dates concerning the Jews returning to Israel and getting control of Jerusalem.

I wonder if Christians realize that the Lord's word to forgive 70x7 is a reference to the laws of Moses and also to Daniel's prophecy of 70 weeks (the weeks refer to seven year periods so it is 70x7) and when that time is up it will be judgement on all those who have not repented.

I would also point out that 70x7 = 490.

4 periods of 490 = 1960.

If you add 1960 to 70 (the year the temple was destroyed) you get 2030, the year that many of us expect we will see the millennial reign begin. This is a gospel to all of creation, hence the four periods of 490.

The other way to look at it is the Jews were given 40 years to repent after crucifying Jesus and receive salvation (a period of testing). This is based on the theory that Jesus was crucified in 30AD. And the world is given 50 periods of 40, or 2,000 years to repent and receive salvation. 50 is a complete number for grace.

The Believers cannot be here for the 7 years of Tribulation. Thats because it is God Puring out Judgment. Abraham cleared this up by asking Jesus(Preincarnate) "Would You Judge The Righteous WITH The Wicked"? Abraham was referring to Lot in Sodom. Jesus said NO. So two Angels confirmed and demonstrated this by pulling Lot out before Judging Sodom. This is Gods Character, He does not Change. He will not pour out Judgement on the Believers, Christ was Judged in our place. So....The Believers will not be here for the 7 Years. There must be a War before the 7 Years. A Big War. EZ 38-39. The result of this war is that The IDF and IAF win. China and India are reduced to 200,000,000 people. 250,000 dead in Jordan alone. The only livable place left will be Israel after 6 years. So there must be a Peace treaty. When the Treaty is signed, the 7 years begin. Will the Believers be here for the war? I dont know. I do know that the Believers will be gone before the 7 years begin. Notice I didnt say Church. Because I have read the seven letters to the seven Churches. Scarry.

The Pentagon has run Computer Simulations of this EZ War in every Scenario. Ive seen them. Its not good for anyone. The Fatality count in the USA after 1 year is 80% for now. That was the result of Every Scenario I witnessed. Just in Tiawan the US looses 2 Super Carriers(Sunk) and 1/3 of the US Submarine force(Sunk) Gone. China is reduced to less than 200,000,000 and China is unlivable. That part of this war is being set up as I write this.

Interesting connection. Jesus told Peter to forgive 70X7 times = 490. Israel's punishment was 70 weeks = 490 years.

I would also point out that 70x7 = 490.

4 periods of 490 = 1960.
Where do you get the 4 periods from?

If you add 1960 to 70 (the year the temple was destroyed) you get 2030, the year that many of us expect we will see the millennial reign begin. This is a gospel to all of creation, hence the four periods of 490.
Interesting connection again, if you can explain the 4 periods from Scripture.

Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, perhaps the most advanced too. Putin is probably waiting for such provocation to unleash the fury of his stockpile.

This is a common doctrine that I feel is not Biblical.

No stone upon another

Matthew begins with a genealogy that many bible expositors have found meaning in the number of generations. This seems to correspond with Paul's teaching that the Lord came "at the fullness of time". Then you have the wise men who saw Jesus star and come to celebrate His birth. That was based on Balaam's prophecy in the OT and Daniel's interpretation of it to the Babylonian wise men. Then you have Simeon and Anna who both knew they would see the Messiah in their lifetime. You also have John the Baptist' birth which included an angel visitation saying that he would be the forerunner for the Messiah and Mary visits Elizabeth. So obviously Mary and Elizabeth and Zacharias knew that Jesus was the Messiah. The wise men told the religious leaders in Jerusalem and that led to the murder of two thousand children and the fulfillment of a prophecy. Obviously some knew that the reason for this atrocity was the concern that the King of the Jews had been born in Bethlehem. Then during His ministry Peter gets the revelation that Jesus is the Messiah, Mary gets the revelation of his crucifixion, and presumably many of the disciples also got the revelation because on the road to Emaus two of the disciples said they had hoped He was the Messiah and was going to bring in the kingdom. Jesus also rebuked those in Jerusalem saying that they should have known the time of their visitation.

Then in the Old Testament we are told that the Lord will do nothing without telling His prophets. Daniel's prophecy told us the year that the Messiah would be crucified and John the Baptist told us He was the Passover lamb. So you knew the year, the day, even the hour He would be crucified and also how He would die.

Then in Revelation the church in Sardis is told this

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

If no one knows when the Lord is coming and it is supposed to surprise everyone, then how is this a warning?

In Colossians Paul told us this

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The feast of Trumpets is a "new moon" and the 9th of Av is a holy day. These things are a shadow of things to come. Think about what that means, the reality of these "holy days" is some event in the future. The Feast of Trumpets is the announcement of the coming of the king. It kicks off the seven year period known as the 70th week or also knows as the tribulation. The 9th of Av is a day of fasting and mourning because the temple is removed and the nation of Israel goes into captivity. The rapture refers to the removing of the temple and the judgement on the apostate church.

So then Jesus also said

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

He tells us in Revelation that only those who are not watching will be caught by surprise and here He tells us we will see "these things begin to come to pass" and Paul tells us that the holy days like the 9th of Av are a shadow of things to come. This means the temple, the real temple, is going to be removed and not one stone will be left upon another. We know the day that will take place, it will happen on the 9th of Av.

Matthew 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

I have always visualized this as each stone being picked up and thrown down. But the typology is of Samson in the temple to Baal pushing out the pillars. The gematria of pillars tells us they depict the church in typology and Paul tells us that the church is the pillar and base of the truth. Read what Jesus says, the stones that are thrown down are those that are "upon another". Samson removes the pillars (the rapture) and then all those stones that are upon the pillars are thrown down. We all know that in the church there are those that hold the church up, 20% of the members do 100% of the work. The same is true of ministry. These are the pillars and base of the truth. So an equally valid way to view this word from Jesus is what happened at the time of Samson. Interestingly Samson was betrayed by Delilah for 1100 pieces of silver and his death when he pushed out the pillars was 1100 years before Jesus was betrayed by Judas. What is also interesting is that it was the feast of new wine, and the 8th of Av, the day before the 9th of Av is the feast of new wine. You can argue that this prophecy was fulfilled in 70AD but it was fulfilled on the 9th of Av and Paul clearly tells us that is a shadow of things to come. The Temple being removed by pushing out the pillars and no stone being left upon another is a shadow of the rapture and the judgement on the apostate church.

No one's faith can rest on another brother or pastor or someone's teaching or message. Our faith is from the word of God, the Bible, the fellowship of the apostles.

Remember, Israel (God's chosen people) were in Egypt when God's judgements were being poured out. Pharaoh is a type of antichrist who oppressed Israel. The judgements in Revelation line up with the same types of judgement in Exodus. What's more, in Revelation, Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God whose blood redeems His people. Where did this concept originate? Exodus.

Exodus 12
[1] And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, [2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. [3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

[5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year [This describes Jesus]: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: [6] And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. [7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

[12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. [13] And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

Interesting connection again, if you can explain the 4 periods from Scripture.
Ezekiel 4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

After the crucifixion the 40 years was given as an opportunity for the Jews in Jerusalem to repent. According to the law if you don't repent the punishment is 7 times worse and you are dispersed. 7x40 = 280, and you get 280 years plus 70AD and that leads to 350 AD. 350 AD is when the Jews revolted against the Roman Empire and got crushed. At this time they still refused to repent and receive Jesus so they get an additional 7 fold punishment.

7x7x40 = 1960. Add this to 70 AD and you get 2030 AD, that will be the year that Jesus returns in glory on the clouds and they will say "blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord" and they will see Him whom they pierced and repent.

So, if your theory is correct, and you believe the Church is removed 7 years before Jesus' triumphant return, then 2023 is the year of the pre-tribulation Rapture. Am I understanding you correctly?

So, if your theory is correct, and you believe the Church is removed 7 years before Jesus' triumphant return, then 2023 is the year of the pre-tribulation Rapture. Am I understanding you correctly?
Perhaps.

It depends on several definitions

1. How do you understand "the church is removed"? I understand that to mean the pillars that Samson pushed out are removed. The Lord said that no stone will be left upon another. There are many people who go to church but their faith is resting upon the word of their pastor or some other person. They don't actually hold up anything, they are the ones being held up. In my understanding of a multitude of Bible verses more than 80% of people who are Christians will not be raptured in this first rapture. Instead they will be the stones that are no longer left upon another when the pillars are removed.

2. 2030 would be when Jesus returns on the clouds in great glory, that is before Armageddon and therefore before the end of the Millennial kingdom and before the end of the seven year tribulation and therefore it is possible that seven years before, not the triumphant return but seven years before the end of the tribulation would be a year later.

So my opinion is that the seven year tribulation begins on the Feast of Trumpets in 2023, but proving this theory correct it could still take place in 2024.

Based on this theory the ten kings rising refers to BRICS which is planning on adding another five countries to make it ten countries for their reserve currency in August.

The confirmation of the seven year covenant with the many takes place this September at the Feast of Trumpets when the UN confirms Agenda 2030 and it is King Charles who is the architect of that.

The "overspreading of abominations" which can also be translated as "the winged idol" which goes into the temple, like the idol that Antiochus Epiphanes put in the Temple refers to a statue of King Charles called "Savior of the World" for his work on Agenda 2030 and it was made 10 cubits high so that it would be the same height as the two Cherubim that go into the Jewish Temple. The plan is to put it in the temple when they rebuild the temple.

The Red heifers that will be ready to be sacrificed this coming Passover will be sacrificed to then begin the rebuilding of the temple which could be very rapid as according to the Law this is supposed to be a prefabricated building (you are not supposed to have the sound of a hammer on the temple mount).

The prophecy about them changing the laws refers to the ten commandments being broken and then replaced by these new Climate change commandments. They held that ceremony on "Mt. Sinai" (not the real one) last fall.

1Samuel 14:25 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

Right now there is honey on the ground for anyone who is a believer and has been preaching the return of the Lord. You have the mark of the beast, you have the copyright being 666, you have the pandemic causing a worldwide shutdown of the economy (a Sabbath rest declared by God) which was prophesied of by Joel and indicates the day of the Lord is at hand. You have the Revelation 12 sign in 2017, you have the two cows born with the 7's on their heads indicating the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine beginning in the Fall of 2023. You have, for the first time in human history, the alliance described in Ezekiel 38 with Russia that could lead to the war in Israel. You have ten kings rising next month with BRICS. You have the seven year covenant being confirmed in September at the UN. You have King Charles and this idol that his been built to him called "The Savior of the World".

26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

What is wrong with Christians, they should be out there preaching the gospel, warning the world, saying all these things the Lord told us about 2,000 years ago that everyone has said were fanciful allegories are coming true. Why are they afraid to speak/

27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

Do you know why Jonathan didn't hear His father's command? It was because he was out on the front lines fighting the battle while all these cowards were sitting in camp.

28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

Saul is a type of the Antichrist, it is a deceitful, self promoting, egotistical spirit in the church. It appeals to a bunch of yellow bellied cowardly Christians afraid to get out there and preach the gospel.

There was a woman in the UK who was arrested because the police thought that she might be praying. They couldn't hear anything, she didn't have a sign, wasn't blocking traffic, but they supposed she might be praying and since she was near an abortion clinic that would be breaking the law. They asked her, she said "she might be" and so they arrested her. This is just like Daniel being arrested for praying. I shared this recently while preaching the gospel and told people the good news is that it is still legal in the US to pray.

The honey is right there, take it and use it for the gospel!
