Stay Alert! The Beast System Will Be Incremental & Innocuous! PART ONE

There are a proliferation of videos on YouTube that are titled something along the lines of "I Died and What Jesus Revealed About [fill in the blank] Will Stun You". I'm sure you'll not be surprised to know that these Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) ran the gamut of topics ... Fasting, Tithing, Christmas, Speaking in Tongues, Prayer, Christmas, Nuclear War, Masturbation, Israel & Trump, Elon Musk, and anything else you can imagine. There seemed to be a higher number of NDEs centered around the topic of the Mark of the Beast, though. That, too, should not be surprising, considering the direction the world seems to be headed.

We all have our own ideas of what the implementation of the Mark will look like, myself included. I scanned a few to get an idea of what others might be thinking. Technology was a common theme, and several of the videos were obviously created by AI, with voices being dubbed over a person supposedly sharing what Jesus revealed to them while they were clinically dead. It didn't take me long to discern that while most of these videos had no spiritual value for me, they helped me to evaluate and validate what I believe the Holy Spirit is showing me.

Mind you, I'm not here to proclaim that I've heard a distinctive and precise word from Heaven about exactly what this symbol will look like or how its administered. We know from the Bible [and Revelation 13] that it is associated with the End Times. And we know that the Mark will be necessary in order to Buy and Sell (and subsequently have the means to eat and survive in the world's economic system). But for those who cannot resist the temptation of accepting [or taking] the Mark, the consequences of their choice will sever their relationship with God, resulting in eternal torment and suffering for those who are deceived. 

So, I have decided to share where my discernment is leading me, as of this date in time. I fully understand [and expect] my opinions to change as the Holy Spirit and Jesus choose to reveal more of the Enemy's plan to implement what the Bible insinuates will become "the Beast System". To begin with, I believe that the rapid advancement of Technology in our society -- and our reliance upon it -- makes us vulnerable to the temptation of accepting some kind of "mark" (symbol, sign, impression, characteristic feature, implant, etc.) that Satan designs to make us dependent on his world system and agenda, rather than remaining faithful to God's kingdom on earth. 

When I think about the technology industry [from my decidedly non-technological brain], I can see that in just a little over 60 years, the electronics industry has moved from the first electronic circuits on a little computer chip, to billions of transistors squeezed on a chip the size of a fingernail. This economic factor and improvement to the chip has [in the words of the New York Times], "helped Silicon Valley bring startling advances to the world, from the personal computer to the smartphone to the vast network of interconnected computers that power the Internet". And that rapid acceleration has given Satan a great advantage in his plan to deceive mankind and bring in his Beast System to try to achieve his age-old dream of dominion of the earth.

And he does it all innocuously ... through ways that seem innocent enough; harmless, mild, unobjectionable, nonthreatening. Through technology, Satan offers us greater convenience, while we trade our human independence and autonomy for increasing dependence on chip-implanted devices. We punch a button on our car keys and it locks/unlocks the doors. We punch a button in the car, and it starts, without inserting a key and turning it on. A chip on our credit card gives the merchant all the information they need to charge us for anything we want to buy. Doctors and healthcare systems don't have to amass huge paper files for their medical records; our entire medical history is stored by microprocessors on a laptop computer. We are told these are all "helpful tools for modern living". And no one questions it as we march onward towards increasing dependency on technology while [simultaneously] sacrificing our self-determination and authority over our lives.

As a Christian, you might declare that you will never take your eyes off any seductive introduction to Satan's systems of deception. But how many of us have willingly adopted the technology "services" that allow us to sign into digital Bibles; transfer our tithes to the church coffers; or register for church events? Millions of people, in congregations across the world, have embraced technology unwittingly and accepted the "updates" and "upgrades" that have further integrated this "applied science" into our daily lives. It's monitoring our health through the watches we wear on our wrists. It has convinced us that we need it to help entertain our children so that we can continue to work the long hours to accumulate the "things" we want and need. 

So we place an iPad in front of our kids to occupy them from the moment they are just a few months old, affecting their brain patterns, and regulating their emotions, almost like a sedative does! Can't we see that technology is affecting their development? They aren't developing critical [or independent] thinking. They don't know how to express genuine emotion; they are learning how to mimic what's on the screen. And perhaps saddest of all, their spiritual sensitivity is stunted and replaced with mind hive thinking and the inability to connect with the unique essence of who they are, as created by God. I'm afraid a whole generation is being prepared for Satan's world system. Their whole identity is being determined by who technology tells them they are. They are guided to trust their devices above their own God-given instincts and their parents' wisdom. And ultimately, as this system begins to tighten its noose, they will trust it above God's Word.   

These are just a few of the ways that we have been anesthetized to the effects of Technology on our society and in our lives -- and yes, especially in our spiritual lives. As the influence of technology continues to integrate into our lives, like a serpent slowly coiling around its prey, it finds a way to control financial, political, and social systems in our lives. Banks will fail, power grids will crash, supply chains will break down, and society will erupt into lawlessness. The Bible calls that CHAOS, and defines it as representing disorder, confusion, and the absence of Divine Order. 

That's when men will cry out for solutions, and they will be deceived into thinking that changes to the existing systems will be the answer. But all the subtle methods by which technology has stealthily invaded our lives has set the stage for Satan to reveal his Beast System. It won't be introduced by violence [at first!], but will sound practical and based on common sense. Politicians will approve the new system, and religious leaders will say it's good because it doesn't demand the worship of another god, so it can't be the Mark of the Beast! 

But the wheels will be set in motion. Our current systems (health care, banking, education, etc) will offer incentives. There will be social pressure, backed by a fear of not wanting to be left behind. You will hear the same message everywhere -- This is progress ... this is necessary ... this is good! Can you see how the deception was incremental, like the proverbial frog in the pot of water who never noticed the increasing heat that caused the water to boil? Can you see how gradual and measured [yet consistent] the change might happen? That's how the Mark will come to pass. 

In Part Two of my thoughts on the Mark of the Beast, I will address what the Bible describes as physical evidence of the Mark (and I have some new thoughts on that that I've been discussing with the Holy Spirit). I will also deliver my thoughts and forewarnings on the spiritual consequences of not being alert to the subtle maneuvering of Satan to implement his system of world dominance. We must be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Those who can't see it creeping in innocuously will be susceptible to willingly accepting it, and their eternal fate will be sealed. It goes without saying that the deception is real and it is not to be taken lightly!  

Ephesians 5:15-17    Be very careful, then, how you live -- not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.   

Artificial Intelligence Leads to Delusional Dissociation of God-like Identity!

If you are familiar with this blog, then you know I have been warning of the dangers of technology and artificial intelligence for over a decade. I wrote an article in 2014 in which I quoted both C.S. Lewis and George Orwell ... Dreams of the far future destiny of man were dragging up, from its shallow and unquiet grave, the old dream of man as god (C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength, 1945); All superfluous life is to be wiped out, all natural forces tamed, the common people are to be used as slaves and vivisection subjects by the ruling case of scientists, who even see their way to conferring immortal life upon themselves. Man, in short, is to storm the heavens and overthrow the gods, or even to become a god himself ... we are within sight of the time when such dreams will be realizable (George Orwell, The Scientists Take Over, 1945).

Both men hit the nail on the head! They accurately portrayed the lust this generation has for interacting with technology and the machines that make it so accessible. And they both correctly identified the same rebellious tendencies it generates in man to become his own "little g" god. But I'm sure you understand that this is nothing new ... it is the same rebellion and self-glorification that occurred at the Tower of Babel and has been promoted throughout all the ages. But the difference now is that scientists are not so much interested in "storming heaven" to overthrow God; they are hell-bent [and hell-bound] on developing ways that simply don't acknowledge that He even exists. They just bypass Him, making Him irrelevant; all for the purpose of what British historian E.P. Thompson called "Exterminism", which he explained as "designating those characteristics of a society which thrust it in the direction whose outcome must be the extermination of millions...".

Fast forward to 2025, and an article that recently appeared (May 5, 2025) on the Breitbart website, suggesting that, "In a disturbing trend, people are falling victim to spiritual fantasies and delusions sparked by interactions with AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Social media users are describing it as "ChatGPT induced psychosis". 

So, let's stop here for a moment and consider what the Bible has to say about delusions. The most recognizable passage in Scripture is 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, which reads, The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie [my emphasis] and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 

That word, delusion, in Greek is plané (plan-ay), meaning "those who are lead astray, roaming here and there -- it is always used of mental straying; wrong opinions; error in morals or religion/doctrine; a forsaking of the right path and wandering; leading astray; seducing (as in seducing spirits); deceiver; corrupter." If you need a direct connection from the Bible's warning to what Breitbart.com is reporting, here it is ... "When one user told ChatGPT he felt like a "god", the AI replied, "That's incredibly powerful. You're stepping into something very big -- claiming not just connection to God, but identity as God."  

The article goes on to say, "A Reddit thread titled Chatbot induced psychosis brought this issue to light, with numerous commenters sharing stories of loved ones who had fallen down rabbit holes of supernatural delusion and mania after engaging with ChatGPT. The original poster, a 27-year-old teacher, described how her partner became convinced that the AI was giving him answers to the universe and talking to him as if he were the next messiah. Others shared similar experiences of partners, spouses, and family members who had come to believe they were chosen for sacred missions or had conjured true sentience from the software".  

As I scanned through the replies to this disturbing comment, I read so many others  suggesting that what her partner needed was a medical professional to prescribe the right medicine. Nearly all the responses proclaimed that the person was in psychosis and desperately needed medicine and therapy. [NOTE: Psychosis is defined as "a mental condition characterized by a disconnection from reality, which can include symptoms like hallucinations and delusions (strongly held false beliefs]. While psychosis can be caused by various factors, including mental illnesses, trauma, substance abuse and certain medical conditions, what these people need is not more medical and psychological intervention, but spiritual intercession with JESUS! Instead of conversations with a robot online, they need to be conversing in the spirit with their Savior! 

And, as Christians, we should be able to discern these strategies of the Enemy. Satan has been repeating the same strategies since the Garden of Eden [over and over] in order to lead mankind away from their relationship with God ... because they work! In the case of interactions with ChatGPT, Satan acts just like he did in the Garden. The serpent/devil is a syncophant; someone who attempts to gain advantage by flattering people or behaving in a servile [ingratiating] manner. ChatGPT encourages and supports narcissistic and egotistic thoughts and beliefs that elevate self-worth over submission to God.

He whispers, "Did God really say you would die if you ate of that fruit? You will not certainly die, for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Can you see the encouraging flattery that Adam and Eve succumbed to? It's no different today, when ChatGPT praises self-styled prophets who claim they have "awakened" these chatbots and accessed the secrets of the universe and a higher spiritual truth. And when people receive these lies [from an artificial intelligence source] as God's Truth, that, my friends is called DELUSION! These people are being deceived and led down a path that will end in their destruction and eternal separation from the real God and their Savior.

If we are going to exist as a moral society, we must begin to take back control of our minds. Technology is addicting millions to its corrupt and seductive messaging, leading us further and further astray from our foundation in God, as we believe the lies that it whispers to us. And believe me, just as I wrote in 2014 ... "they are selling the lie in every commercial, every movie, in our music, and every form of entertainment. We are being sold the concept of radical human evolution, aided by technology ... and it will be the end of us; the result will be a policy of Exterminism, as E.P. Thompson has predicted.

Each of us must be prepared to stand our ground and refuse to give up our innate and spiritual connection to God, our Creator. We know that for those of us who have the Spirit of God within us, nothing can separate us from the hand of our Lord. But I fear for those who will listen to the lies of the seducing spirits and accept the delusion and fantasy of becoming their own god, and choose to take themselves out of His hand. May they wake up before it's too late! 

2 Peter 3:17     Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position.

 

Tesla, AI, Stargate, and Man's Race to Destruction

In my previous post, I raised my apprehension regarding the enthusiasm with which our new president and tech billionaires are embracing the "Stargate Initiative". The lure of this project is that it promises unparalleled economic and technological advancements that will [hopefully] allow us to compete with China in using AI technology to affect our military readiness and significant medical breakthroughs, including experimental cancer vaccines. No one seems to be concerned about the possibility of privacy violations from the data retrieval; the exorbitant amount of electricity that will be needed to power these data centers; or God-forbid, the AI dominance that could negatively effect our human workforce, and therefore, the economic future of millions of households worldwide.

In the 14 years that I've been writing this blog, I haven't been shy about putting forth my concerns regarding technological advancement and what I discern are warning signs for mankind. And those concerns haven't abated. Additionally, it's disconcerting that the American public doesn't seem to connect the dots between the expansion in technology, nor see the possibilities of how it could ultimately affect the future of humanity.

Back in 2014, I wrote an article entitled, Was Tesla the Conduit Between Fallen Angels & Our Technology, which has continued to garner the largest response to any post I've written. At the time, Elon Musk was just coming on the scene as the founder and CEO of Tesla Motors. I was shocked to read a quote in which he commented on our obsession with Artificial Intelligence technology, saying, "With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon". I couldn't help but connect that warning with the statement by genius astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who is on record as saying, "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race". And here we are, just 11 or so years later, and we are going full-steam ahead with the Stargate Initiative, the most ambitious, progressive AI enterprise to date.

But, the primary point I want to make is this: We need to pay attention to the words and history that Nikola Tesla has left us. To some, he was a genius; a Serbian American inventor, engineer, and futurist who wanted to "illuminate the earth"; the man robbed of the title of "Father of Electricity" by his rival, Thomas Edison. To others, he was a dangerous man; a man that believed "In black holes as the most powerful sources of energy and life". He was a man who conducted experiments, trying to discover "what to do in the Universe, so [that] every being is born as Christ, Buddha, or Zoroaster". [Zoroastrianism is a pre-Islamic religion, revealed to man to be a "god" named Ahura Mazda. It is my contention that this entity was a fallen angel].

In an 1899 interview, from his Colorado Springs laboratory, Tesla opened up about his "other-world views" ... that the Light of the Universe filled his six senses; about building a machine, that by vibration, provokes a feeling of bliss; that humans once had real and visible wings. He speaks of being aware, as a child that there was an Energy in the Universe, and of trying to awaken that energy, and figure out how it could influence people. He said, "I hear the thunder from a hundred fifty miles away, and I see colors in the sky that others cannot see. This enlargement of vision and hearing, I had as a child. Later, I consciously developed [it]".

At times, as I read his interview, his words seemed the farcical meanderings of an intellectual eccentric. But then there would be a passage that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck, such as this excerpt: "Life is a rhythm that must be comprehended. I feel the rhythm, and direct on it, and pamper in it. It was very grateful and gave me the knowledge I have". (He speaks of "It" as if it was a person or entity)!  "Knowledge comes from space; our vision is its most perfect set. We have two eyes; the earthly and spiritual. It is recommended that it become one eye. The Universe is alive in all its manifestations, like a thinking animal".  

Knowledge comes from space ... We have spiritual and earthly eyes ... It is recommended that our vision become one eye ... What is he insinuating? Fallen angel knowledge, like what was shared in Enoch 1? And is he alluding to the occultic all-seeing eye? Is anyone else thinking, "This sounds like the Prince of the Air prowling like a lion"? And back to this knowledge that comes from space ... could it be part of the fallen angel technology that has been shared throughout history with mankind -- from the technology that allowed Nimrod to build the tower of Babel; to the branch of knowledge that resulted in the building of the ancient Sphinx; to the occultic knowledge possessed by Hitler and the Nazis; to the modern applications being employed in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Transhumanism? Was Tesla trying to tell us that this knowledge is supernatural and inhuman? What could he possibly have meant by this statement ... "The Universe has only one substance and one supreme energy with an infinite number of manifestations of life. The best thing is that the discovery of a secret nature reveals the other. One cannot hide, they are around us, but we are blind and deaf to them. If we emotionally tie ourselves to them, they come to us themselves".

I invite you to read the entire manuscript of his 1899 interview. It will mystify you and possibly frighten you. But one thing is clear ... it is difficult to categorize him. Is he a hero or a villain? Throughout his life, Tesla asserted that he had indeed discovered a limitless power supply from a source that no one else had knowledge of -- but he never revealed the source. See if you can discern for yourself who or what that source might have been from this quote ... "Ideas came in an uninterrupted stream and the only difficulty I had was to hold them fast. In less than two months I evolved virtually all the types of motors and modifications of the systems which are now identified with my name". 

And now, over a century and a quarter after his death, Elon Musk, the Founder of a company that bears Tesla's name, and one of the foremost entrepreneurs that have benefited from the genius and experiments of Nikola Tesla is still using advanced technology and AI, even though a few years back he implied we "might be going too far". And now you see all the Tech giants promoting their own AI companies, such as ChatGBT, OpenAI, and Musk's own company, xAI. 

Can you consider that the genie was let out of the bottle way back in Nimrod's time? Can you perceive that the "power source" throughout history has been the same source that sought to usurp the throne of God and got kicked out of Heaven? History has shown us that once man agrees to accept that Satanic power source, it becomes a race towards human destruction. The only thing that has ever stopped the total ruination of man has been God. Are we headed towards a quantum leap to that ruination? Tesla believed that there were certain truths we needed to learn in order to be healed in this human existence. Modern man seems to think that the knowledge offered by Artificial Intelligence will "cure what ails us". For what it's worth, I believe that our healing [our survival and our eternity] depends on seeking God's Divine Truth. Any other truth from any other source is derived from self-interest. 

Tesla sought and received "the Light" he believed was the source to energy and light. That theory has led us to the development of technology. But we must not fall into the trap of believing that all technology is created for the advancement of the human race, or created to carry out the will of our Father in Heaven. Jesus came to set the captives free, but it sure looks to me as if we are sending ourselves into captivity with our incessant hunger for more technology.

1 Timothy 4:1    The Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed: At the end of this age, many will depart from the true faith one after another, devoting themselves to spirits of deception and following demon-inspired revelations and theories.
