I pray that I can accurately express what my spirit is trying to show me. And I will admit that I haven't quite discerned the totality of the spiritual picture that is beginning to emerge to my soul [which is my mind, emotions, and free will to act on what God is showing me]. But I can say this ... my soul is closing in on a vision that, while disturbing, is being brought to my attention by the Holy Spirit. More importantly, I must spiritually examine this new insight in order to hear correctly what I'm to do with what is being revealed. In other words, my spirit is alerting my soul that we must be careful to correctly discern current events so that we might not be deceived by technology and those who would use it to corrupt the Bible's true theology and our understanding of God's plan for the End Times.
Technology ... To me, the very word insinuates the possibility of deception. I don't think we can dismiss the feasibility that technology can [and has been used] to misrepresent the truth in our culture and the world. The ability to create manufactured images that look real is a deception within itself, and the fact that Hollywood is in an uproar over AI actress Tilly Norwood [who threatens the livelihood of real-life actors] should be the canary in the coal mine for the rest of us. And have you ever questioned whether Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin actually walked on the moon 56 years ago, or if it was all fabricated in a TV studio? Those are just two simple illustrations of the potential for technology to deceive us into believing what is not true.
The advancement of Artificial Intelligence in all areas of our lives has been astounding! Recent figures show that in 2025, 50% of internet content is AI generated. And it is predicted that by 2026 that number will be 90%! The rate at which AI content is infiltrating our media and communications spheres is deeply disturbing to me. And the fact that so many people (both young and old) are unable to distinguish an image of real art from an AI-generated image shows the depth to which our populations are relinquishing their ability to use critical thinking. And furthermore, they applaud the AI piece as if it has the same significance as the real painting. The truth is that Technology and machines will never replace the creativity that humans can express and have been given by our Creator. Buck Brannaman, an acclaimed horse trainer, said, "Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do". Need I remind the masses that Artificial Intelligence [and technology] don't have souls?
Let me be clear, just because internet content is made using Generative AI doesn't necessarily mean it's factually wrong. But we must not receive it without researching and evaluating the information being shared. My concern is that people have become so dependent on the created content on the internet for their truth, that it has become the sole arbiter and judge of what is true. And let's not forget the ability of AI to enthrall and captivate the masses. Because Technology has also created our need to be entertained, it has become fertile ground for deception at the highest levels. And that includes the spiritual realms.
As Christians, I think we can agree that we are seeing signs of the End Times in our world. And I believe there is a Spirit of Deception that has invaded our lives and which speaks to the presence of falsehood and deceit in the world. Bible Wisdom Hub is a website that speaks to this truth. This Spirit is operating as a spiritual force or influence that is seeking to lead people astray from God's Truth and into darkness. The Spirit of Deception is portrayed as a cunning and manipulative entity that works to distort reality and cloud our judgment. Furthermore fallen humanity is ripe for being the prime target of Satan, who is "the father of lies". And he has incorporated his followers and cohorts in convincing us of the truth of his deception, even to the point of using Technology to introduce his false prophets and teachers into our awakening anticipation of Christ's Return. I cannot stress it enough -- it is vitally important that we stay vigilant and firm in our faith to resist the schemes of these imposters.
I want to ask you a question ... Have you noticed an increase in Tech giants, political figures, and cultural idols enter into the conversation on faith, the End Times, the Anti-Christ and the Beast System? Mind you, these topics are important subjects to understand, and I would love nothing more than to believe these people are truly seeking more of God. But something doesn't feel right.
Anyone who is walking in Truth and Spirit with God knows that the Holy Spirit is guiding us and counseling us on what to focus on in the cultural narrative. And, believe me, I am well aware that my discernment is so different than the average American. But, like me, can you see that Tech moguls, political leaders, and cultural superstars can be used to spread false spiritual/Biblical information and knowledge in order to (not only) deceive the uneducated, but to convince even the Elect to buy into their false Biblical ideology in order to achieve their goals. Just because they are quoting Scripture, or seem to be promoting End Times theology doesn't mean they are messengers from God. Even Satan knows Scripture.
And I sense the longing in the younger generations for more meaning to life -- even a softening on living a technology-infused life. We are seeing what looks like the beginning of a tidal wave of Awakening to the Truth and Promises of Jesus among this group of young people. But I'm also sensing that they are a rich, enticing, and potentially profitable environment for the Titans of Technology and Politics. If these deceivers can speak the language of Revival and win over the 20-30 age groups, just think of how much influence they can have in the next decades. Scripture is a powerful weapon in defeating Evil. Jesus showed us that when defeating Satan's temptations in the wilderness when He began His ministry. But Scripture, when used as a political weapon to deceive the innocent or the unlearned, can lead the masses astray.
Have you ever asked yourself, "Why are these Tech billionaires warning us of the dangers of AI, when they are the ones who created it, are profiting off it, and advancing its capabilities"? Why are they creating more invasive uses for AI, and at the same time, predicting an apocalyptic end for mankind? Why are software companies (Palantir) named after an all-seeing orb controlled by an evil wizard in the movie The Lord of the Rings? Maybe I'm wrong -- but I'm suspicious when these Billionaires, who have never [to my knowledge] declared their faith in Jesus Christ, suddenly start appearing on popular podcasts using religious language and themes, like "demonic" and their desire to "carry out God's command to see His will done on earth, as it is in Heaven". And can you honestly trust these Tech moguls who develop companies like ACTS 17 Collective, [stands for Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society]. Incidentally, Acts 17 is a recounting of how Paul [a Jew] and Silas entered into the synagogues with the intention of sharing the Gospel and winning converts to Christianity.
Could this be the model that Satan is planning to use to deceive the Technology generations -- joining a false faith message to the deception component of technology to lead people away from the narrow gate and onto the wide and broad road that leads to destruction? Be careful and wise! Do not fall into the trap of idolizing men -- even those who have a heart and reputation to represent God's Truth. They can be used by Satan's unGodly emissaries to build "godlike" organizations and AI systems whose goal is to ultimately control and destroy humanity. So, to sum it up, I can't see the whole picture yet, but my spirit is on edge and flashing warning signs. The Holy Spirit is keeping this in focus, and I will trust Him to unveil God's Truth and give me the discernment as I need it. Please join me in praying for clear and decisive knowledge and understanding. Thank you, Lord, for all you reveal to me. Amen!
Matthew 24: 4-5 Watch out that no one deceives [and misleads] you. For many will come in My Name, [misusing it, and appropriating the strength of the name which belongs to Me], claiming "I am the Messiah," and they will deceive many.
