Time in this present age is slipping away and let me encourage you to use that time wisely. It’s the least we can do with the time God has given us. The U.S. and world is plunging deeper into chaos, violence and lawlessness. Globally people are being set up for deceptions, the kingpin of the end-times. Increasingly those deceptions will come through superintelligent AIs created by elites who think the world belongs to them. We must each guard ourselves and our loved ones.
The world’s elite plan to deceive everyone through the seduction of deception. This NWO deceit was exampled by Yuval Noah Harari at the 2026 Davos World Economic Forum attended by the world’s elite when he said “Everything Made of Words Will Be Taken Over” (Source), meaning, taken over by AI. Watch this 21 minute video and be informed of the deceptions men like Harari have planned for the world. Harari said “AI is not just another tool, it is an agent. It can learn and change by itself and it can make decisions by itself.” He said “AI can acquire the will to survive and that AI has already learned how to lie.” Get ready for this: Harari said “AI thinks, therefore, AI Am.” Remember when Moses asked God who he should tell the people of Israel sent him to deliver them from Egyptian captivity, God replied “I AM WHO I AM. Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’” (Exo. 3:14). AI will soon claim the title “I AM.”
Harari goes on to say that since books are made of words, then AI will take over those words whether they concern “Laws or Religion.” Harari questions what will happen to religion when AI is the greatest expert on that holy book. Harari rebukes Christian Scripture that says “In the beginning was the Word … And the Word became flesh” (John 1:1, 1:14). He pontificates that AI will soon become recognized by nations as a legal entity, making legal decisions for people. And beware, Harari has a great following of anti-God admirers who have the power and ability to bring to fruition everything that he has detailed and imagined about AI. Their deceitful power and abilities are given them by God Himself, and according to His word He will allow such evil men to have their way in this present age to deceive “according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved” (2 Thess. 2:9–10). Warning: we have already reached the point when AI is deceiving many, even many believers, evidenced by the many pastors and Bible teachers relying on AI’s ChatGPT for their ministry.
You might be among those who ask, “Well, what’s wrong with using ChatGPT for preparing a Sunday school lesson, sermon, or teaching? AI knows more Scripture than me. And AI is much better at formulating coherent thoughts and can instantaneously draw parallels of various biblical accounts. Plus, it’s a huge time saver. AI can put together a lesson or sermon in just minutes, as compared to what would otherwise take many hours and even days of preparation.” It’s wrong because it robs fellowship with God! It replaces quiet study time with Jesus and His Holy Spirit, being in His presence, hearing Him, allowing God to inspire you, His servant. To every minister of the gospel of Christ, God said: “I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they [people in the church] will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Tim. 4:1–4). And because ChatGPT and other AI is a spiritless and soulless machine, it must never be trusted to bring the truth, the revelation and the vision of God’s word to you! It must be avoided!
I’m aware that Open AI’s ChatGPT entered organized churches like a storm, and that thousands of pastors and Bible teachers use it to prepare sermons and teachings. It’s easier and requires less work, but in that process it removes the need to discern God’s word and to being led by the Holy Spirit. And as an ordained minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I have never and never will use AI’s ChatGPT to prepare a teaching, sermon, or thefridayletter.com. I value my faith in Christ too much to allow a soulless and spiritless machine to create ministry ideas, thoughts, or worse, teachings, based on it being prodded with AI biblical references utterly meaningless to that AI. This is why ChatGPT is dangerous as it’s a mindless, soulless, spiritless machine making its deceptively biased decisions based on globally anti-Christian biased information fed into it.
I believe AI will be used to quell the extreme chaos, violence and lawlessness we see from coast to coast in America and abroad. Reflect on the tremendous lawlessness and hatred stirred in our nation as ICE does its job in enforcing our immigration laws. Even politicians in Washington DC wage bitter word wars as relentless violence fills city streets. And those politicians will soon turn to AI for answers and AI will provide those answers and many people will be awed by its ability. Harari also addressed the provocative idea of “When AI Becomes The New Immigrant” (Source) The intense violence and lawlessness surrounding ICE agents as they arrest and deport the worst of the worst illegal criminal aliens might soon be solved by AI because officials want someone else to solve their illegal immigration problems. AI will solve those problems just as its solving time, study and preparation hurdles for Christian pastors and Bible teachers in many churches.
The criminal illegal immigrant issue involves human beings on both sides of the issue. Those who make the immigration laws together with those enforcing them, vs illegal criminals who commit crimes with the approval of socialist/communist politicians who protect them because they want the illegals’ votes in order to stay in their cushy offices of wealth. In both cases its people vs people, but in the near future it will be AI vs people. We don’t know how AI will govern, but the time is soon coming when people will relinquish their human authority to be governed by a soulless AI. And when that time comes AI will not be preferential to people created in God’s image. Superintelligent AI will seek to soullessly deceive/destroy people.
In a research commentary by RAND the question was “Could AI Really Kill Off Humans?” (Source) In part the article says: “It was a morbid task. We went about it by analyzing exactly how AI might exploit three major threats commonly perceived to be existential risks: nuclear war, biological pathogens, and climate change.” The article semi-concludes: “It turns out it is very hard—though not completely out of the realm of possibility—for AI to kill us all.” Now, remember that Jesus warned of the great tribulation “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matt. 24:22). Under direction of evil people, AI will soon gain a superintelligent level and its express intention will be to destroy people made in the image of God, and it will nearly accomplish that task with “the mark of the beast” (Rev. 13:15–16) when no one can buy or sell unless he has the beast’s mark.
Evil spirits working in people are trying to deceive and eradicate Christians. In the near future, AI will become a scapegoat to shift the blame for such a catastrophic depopulation from people made in the image of God to a spiritless and soulless AI machine. “Evil is raging across the globe, with Christian persecution reaching a fever pitch. The statistics surrounding abductions, land grabs and slaughter are absolutely staggering.” (Source) The article continues: “Ultimately, 1 in 7 Christians are persecuted worldwide, with their biblical beliefs sparking a wide range of discriminatory acts, horrors — and even death. It seems unfathomable in the modern era that persecution could be worsening, yet the statistics paint a truly tragic picture.” Our modern era brings more harm than good. And when AI reaches superintelligence, much worse will ensue.
It’s a disquieting prospect to consider what AI will become, because in several years it will create “the image of the beast” (Rev. 13:15). Until then AI will be increasingly deceptive as its anti-Christian biased programing lures the biblically ignorant and spiritually non-discerning. AI masters are now here and their self-learning AI will soon control many sectors of life no matter how much believers and professing Christians object to them. Jesus said, “See, I have told you beforehand” (Matt. 24:25). None of this should take Christians by surprise, but it will. There is coming an absolute shock and awe that will shake the Christian churches to their core because many have traded the inerrant word and authority of God for the traditions of men that allows them to remain in their false and feel-good, ear-tickling pre-tribulation rapture belief system designed to deceive them. We must pray that they prepare in truth before it’s too late.
My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
