Friends, I think it is easy to look in Revelation and very clearly see where we are heading.
Now, much of my interpretation deals with technology. Technology is great. Current tech, that is. With the internet through my phone and PC I have been able to learn enough to become faithful. Without the internet, I wouldn't even be a Christian. Specifically a Catholic.
Now, even though the internet is a wonderful thing and most tech developments will do great things for our world, we must be wary in a few areas.
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.
Note the "to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak."
Apply this to modern day. How, possibly, could this be achieved?
Well, the image is an object. It is a physical thing. And it is given life and is able to speak. In my eyes, the image will be a robot, and the life will be AI.
But why would the world worship an AI?
The AI would profess itself as super intelligent. It would blaspheme against God. It would lead people away from God and say, no, that isn't real, that isn't true.
But what about the mark of the beast?
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:"
Since this AI will effectively be a supercomputer and be in control of our world, alongside the Antichrist and the False Prophet, it will most likely require all to willingly take on a means to be tracked and identified. This will all occur after very tough times, so the excuse may be that it is to make sure that rations of food, of supplies, are orderly and managed properly.
Alternatively, this may just mean worshipping the image of the beast by believing what it says about God, or by doing something to profess that.
But, there's more.
