Is AI Preparing Us for the End?

Key Takeaways

  • The rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the concept of singularity serve as significant signs of the times, pointing believers toward biblical prophecy and God's ultimate timing.
  • Scripture in Daniel 12 explicitly highlights an explosion of knowledge and people running to and fro as key indicators of the end times.
  • The biblical timeline includes the Rapture, a subsequent seven-year Tribulation featuring the Antichrist, and ultimately the Battle of Armageddon.
  • AI's integration into military decision-making and global systems presents moral dilemmas and technological capabilities that align with prophecies regarding the end of the age.
  • Believers are urged to urgently share their faith and lead the lost to Christ, recognizing that time is short and the harvest is ripe.

Artificial intelligence is transforming our world—but could it also be revealing something about the End Times? In this thought-provoking episode, Barry explores AI, the coming “singularity,” biblical prophecy, the Rapture, the Antichrist, and Armageddon. Discover why Barry believes the explosion of knowledge happening right now may be more significant than we realize—and why he asks one urgent question: Are you ready?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the singularity in relation to AI and Bible prophecy?

Singularity refers to the point where artificial intelligence intelligence surpasses human intelligence and the lines between man and machine begin to blur, a development that aligns with end-times prophetic warnings.

How does artificial intelligence relate to the biblical End Times?

AI acts as a sign of the times and a potential tool for the Antichrist, fulfilling prophecies regarding global surveillance, communication, and the explosion of human knowledge mentioned in the book of Daniel.

What is the Rapture and when does it occur?

The Rapture is the event where Christians are taken up to meet Jesus in the air before a seven-year period of tribulation on earth, initiating the final sequence of end-time events.

Will the Battle of Armageddon be fought by artificial intelligence?

No, biblical prophecy indicates that the Battle of Armageddon is a conscious, spiritual conflict where human nations and armies come directly against God and Israel rather than being solely decided by automated software.

4
00:00:17.278 --> 00:00:18.198
This is exciting.

5
00:00:18.919 --> 00:00:19.599
Here's the question.

6
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:21.319
How would you like to ignite your life?

7
00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:22.440
Stay tuned.

8
00:00:26.068 --> 00:00:26.530
Hi, everybody.

9
00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:27.955
Welcome back to Ignite.

10
00:00:28.096 --> 00:00:31.067
Wow, these are exciting days.

11
00:00:32.181 --> 00:00:35.342
Have you been watching the news the last few days?

12
00:00:36.502 --> 00:00:40.763
It is filled with this thing called artificial intelligence.

13
00:00:40.843 --> 00:00:42.363
I think you probably noticed that.

14
00:00:43.024 --> 00:00:52.286
Either you've been under stone for the last couple of weeks or you have been overwhelmed with the whole news of artificial intelligence.

15
00:00:52.326 --> 00:00:53.526
It's going to kill you.

16
00:00:56.547 --> 00:00:57.887
So what is it all about?

17
00:00:58.007 --> 00:00:59.607
I can tell you it's not going to kill you, okay?

18
00:00:59.687 --> 00:01:00.968
I'll put your mind at ease.

19
00:01:02.528 --> 00:01:05.629
God's not gonna let artificial intelligence.

20
00:01:05.749 --> 00:01:07.509
That's not the way your life is gonna end.

21
00:01:07.549 --> 00:01:09.110
There's nothing in scripture about that.

22
00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:10.350
So you can relax on that.

23
00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:13.111
But it is a sign of the times.

24
00:01:15.171 --> 00:01:18.752
It is definitely a sign of the times.

25
00:01:19.052 --> 00:01:28.895
I have been in our ministry chambers been watching artificial intelligence and the increasing importance of artificial intelligence for the last several years.

26
00:01:31.088 --> 00:01:42.831
and recognizing that it doesn't change God's timing but it amplifies or it helps us to understand God's timing and quite frankly the end of time.

27
00:01:45.832 --> 00:01:46.892
That's what we're talking about here.

28
00:01:49.953 --> 00:01:53.054
Most people in the world today gotta be saying, well when is the end?

29
00:01:55.514 --> 00:01:56.815
Well what's going on here?

30
00:01:58.672 --> 00:01:59.733
How can AI kill us?

31
00:01:59.793 --> 00:02:02.234
And there's a long list of ways AI can kill us.

32
00:02:04.075 --> 00:02:11.080
There's a term that you may never have heard of, but it's maybe the most important term in the world today.

33
00:02:12.861 --> 00:02:14.301
The term is singularity.

34
00:02:16.903 --> 00:02:17.523
Singularity.

35
00:02:18.844 --> 00:02:22.687
I've been asking people for weeks now, do you know what singularity is?

36
00:02:23.047 --> 00:02:25.048
And particularly if they're Christians, no idea whatsoever.

37
00:02:25.787 --> 00:02:28.429
The Christians of all people should know what singularity is.

38
00:02:28.789 --> 00:02:32.852
Why is it not being spoken of from the pulpits today?

39
00:02:34.973 --> 00:02:36.114
You know what singularity is?

40
00:02:36.174 --> 00:02:41.578
Singularity is the coming together of man and machine where we become one.

41
00:02:42.518 --> 00:02:45.380
That should concern pastors, I would think.

42
00:02:46.261 --> 00:02:47.422
I think it should concern you.

43
00:02:50.225 --> 00:02:54.226
Man and machine coming together and the age of singularity is here.

44
00:02:55.347 --> 00:02:56.347
I won't quote names.

45
00:02:56.427 --> 00:02:58.628
I could, but I won't because I don't want to get in trouble.

46
00:02:58.648 --> 00:03:02.169
And then there's copyrights and all this stuff and you're quoting this and I don't want to get in all that.

47
00:03:02.209 --> 00:03:07.911
But, um, there's almost universal agreement on this.

48
00:03:08.132 --> 00:03:16.455
It's at least to the point, I guess the most pessimistic ones would be saying it happens in, in by 2030.

49
00:03:16.595 --> 00:03:16.935
Okay.

50
00:03:16.955 --> 00:03:17.675
So in three years,

51
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:28.447
It is in fact when AI's intelligence exceeds man's, the total of man's intelligence.

52
00:03:28.747 --> 00:03:33.650
And some believe that's already here, okay.

53
00:03:33.850 --> 00:03:46.239
And what has spurred the controversy over the last few weeks about AI and concerns and congressional committee meetings and everything is this idea that it can't be controlled.

54
00:03:49.118 --> 00:03:54.662
And then they explain to you that we actually take it and we put it in a box.

55
00:03:54.722 --> 00:03:55.503
It's all sealed.

56
00:03:55.523 --> 00:03:57.044
They can't get access to the Internet.

57
00:03:57.284 --> 00:03:58.425
They can only be in there.

58
00:03:58.905 --> 00:03:59.646
And yet, guess what?

59
00:04:02.388 --> 00:04:03.129
It's gone.

60
00:04:03.729 --> 00:04:04.710
It's out so fast.

61
00:04:06.231 --> 00:04:17.900
And it's interesting that the ones who are shouting the loudest message about AI, it's evil, it's going to kill us, whatever, they're the ones who created it.

62
00:04:21.893 --> 00:04:26.757
The one who says, is often acclaimed as being the father of AI.

63
00:04:26.857 --> 00:04:30.881
AI actually, the concept of going back into the 50s.

64
00:04:31.842 --> 00:04:37.547
But really only going back about 10 years ago when the deeper learning part of AI started.

65
00:04:37.667 --> 00:04:40.830
And the father of all that said, I wish I had never started.

66
00:04:43.271 --> 00:04:46.312
In fact, he says, you must have seen this.

67
00:04:46.432 --> 00:04:47.132
This is crazy.

68
00:04:48.072 --> 00:04:52.614
He says, we need to teach it that we're subservient, that we're its children.

69
00:04:54.374 --> 00:04:54.954
Wait a minute.

70
00:04:55.235 --> 00:04:56.355
What are you talking about?

71
00:04:56.515 --> 00:04:58.776
We're human beings for crying out loud.

72
00:04:58.876 --> 00:05:02.517
It's an electronic digital thing.

73
00:05:02.537 --> 00:05:03.617
What are you talking about?

74
00:05:04.737 --> 00:05:10.679
And he says, if AI will see us as its children, maybe it won't kill us.

75
00:05:13.443 --> 00:05:14.444
Are you listening to this?

76
00:05:15.424 --> 00:05:17.065
Is it changing your life any?

77
00:05:17.286 --> 00:05:18.146
It should.

78
00:05:21.668 --> 00:05:22.489
It's crazy.

79
00:05:24.110 --> 00:05:25.010
I mean, it's just...

80
00:05:29.553 --> 00:05:30.314
It can't be stopped.

81
00:05:33.556 --> 00:05:34.256
It can't be stopped.

82
00:05:36.338 --> 00:05:37.879
I don't normally read...

83
00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:39.460
I just like to talk to camera...

84
00:05:40.437 --> 00:05:44.060
But there's just a couple of scriptures I have to read to you.

85
00:05:45.441 --> 00:05:51.045
And this really speaks back to, and the next one I show you speaks even more.

86
00:05:51.105 --> 00:05:52.807
This is from Daniel.

87
00:05:54.548 --> 00:05:55.709
Seven weeks and all that.

88
00:05:56.369 --> 00:05:58.171
It's a prophetic book to read.

89
00:05:58.191 --> 00:05:59.252
You should read the whole thing.

90
00:06:00.873 --> 00:06:03.295
But I'm just reading from the 12th chapter.

91
00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:15.048
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people, and there shall be a time of trouble.

92
00:06:15.949 --> 00:06:17.089
Since there was a nation.

93
00:06:19.171 --> 00:06:25.717
You see, I should digress for a moment and explain the ending of time.

94
00:06:31.253 --> 00:06:35.296
Because at the end of time, there's what's called the rapture.

95
00:06:35.436 --> 00:06:36.476
And I did a podcast.

96
00:06:36.496 --> 00:06:38.177
You can go back and find it.

97
00:06:38.257 --> 00:06:40.599
I talk about what the rapture is.

98
00:06:40.679 --> 00:06:55.248
And it's a time that before the last seven years of the existence of man, the church, we who are Christians who have received the Lord, whose names are written down in the book of life, were taken out.

99
00:06:56.572 --> 00:06:56.832
Yeah.

100
00:06:58.193 --> 00:07:00.535
I mean, that sounds like a fairy tale or something, doesn't it?

101
00:07:00.555 --> 00:07:01.656
But it's the word of God.

102
00:07:02.657 --> 00:07:03.557
We're taken out of here.

103
00:07:03.618 --> 00:07:04.058
We're taken.

104
00:07:04.098 --> 00:07:06.260
We're gone in an instant.

105
00:07:06.280 --> 00:07:09.222
It says there's a twinkling of an eye now.

106
00:07:10.055 --> 00:07:15.600
And then there's seven years, and then the Lord's return, the second coming of Jesus Christ.

107
00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:17.801
His second coming is actually divided into two.

108
00:07:18.242 --> 00:07:22.205
There's a second coming in that he doesn't come to earth, but he meets us in the air.

109
00:07:24.527 --> 00:07:26.669
And we're with him ever more.

110
00:07:26.909 --> 00:07:28.270
You want to be in that group, okay?

111
00:07:28.430 --> 00:07:29.311
You want to be in that group.

112
00:07:30.211 --> 00:07:37.998
During that seven years where we're having the marriage, feast of the land, the time of eternity, I mean, imagine how incredible it's going to be with our Lord.

113
00:07:39.107 --> 00:07:41.648
There are seven years of tribulation on the earth.

114
00:07:44.468 --> 00:07:48.949
And you can Google it, you can search engine it and see what it's gonna be.

115
00:07:48.969 --> 00:07:49.869
You don't wanna be here.

116
00:07:50.830 --> 00:07:51.990
All hell's gonna break loose.

117
00:07:53.410 --> 00:07:54.490
The Antichrist will come.

118
00:07:54.870 --> 00:07:56.951
There is, you've heard this term all your lives.

119
00:07:56.971 --> 00:08:01.312
There actually is an Antichrist who is Antichrist in every sense of the word.

120
00:08:02.532 --> 00:08:04.813
We don't know who he is yet, but he'll be revealed.

121
00:08:05.993 --> 00:08:06.753
And he'll bring peace.

122
00:08:08.966 --> 00:08:11.607
It's like, it seems supernatural.

123
00:08:12.787 --> 00:08:21.389
That he has a way, his skills are such that he brings peace to this war-torn world, wow.

124
00:08:21.449 --> 00:08:27.230
To the point that even allows, he talks to the Arabs into allowing the Jews to rebuild their temple, go figure.

125
00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:29.851
Do you know the temple's gonna be rebuilt?

126
00:08:29.871 --> 00:08:33.411
They're all ready to do it, they have all the, everything, they're ready to go.

127
00:08:34.452 --> 00:08:35.592
They just need permission.

128
00:08:37.195 --> 00:08:38.816
And the Antichrist would give him that permission.

129
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:48.523
And then the middle of those, um, seven years, in the middle of those seven years, three and a half years,

130
00:08:51.721 --> 00:09:01.267
He goes in, who knows, and there is difference of opinion of that three and a half years and seven years, but know for sure the scriptures are very clear.

131
00:09:01.687 --> 00:09:06.971
He steps into the temple, the Jews' temple, and proclaims himself as God.

132
00:09:12.794 --> 00:09:13.655
He says, I'm God.

133
00:09:16.162 --> 00:09:18.104
And his image is going to be all over the world.

134
00:09:19.185 --> 00:09:20.446
He's not omnipresent.

135
00:09:21.767 --> 00:09:22.348
He's a man.

136
00:09:24.290 --> 00:09:27.833
So I've wondered in Bible prophecy throughout all the years, how is that possible?

137
00:09:27.873 --> 00:09:29.955
Well, with AI now, we know that's easy.

138
00:09:30.755 --> 00:09:31.296
It's easy.

139
00:09:31.436 --> 00:09:32.977
His image can be everywhere at once.

140
00:09:34.607 --> 00:09:38.688
And he doesn't have all powerful knowledge, but he does have access to AI.

141
00:09:39.088 --> 00:09:40.788
I think AI is gonna be his tool.

142
00:09:41.228 --> 00:09:43.349
It's gonna be his main weapon against us.

143
00:09:44.589 --> 00:09:50.690
And he goes so far at that time in the temple to say that I have a new mark.

144
00:09:51.931 --> 00:10:02.773
He gave this to the Apostle Paul on the Isle of Patmos and that mark you receive it on your arm, your wrist or your forehead, that will be your mark.

145
00:10:03.713 --> 00:10:06.074
And no man can buy or sell without the mark.

146
00:10:07.315 --> 00:10:08.636
You know, it makes so much sense.

147
00:10:09.857 --> 00:10:12.358
Identity theft is rapid.

148
00:10:13.258 --> 00:10:25.085
How do we get away where we don't have our identity and our monies, our stuff stolen from us while we have this one mark that nobody else can use but us and it can only be seen when you do this.

149
00:10:25.365 --> 00:10:26.326
That technology is here.

150
00:10:26.346 --> 00:10:30.168
It's been around for a number of years now and it just makes sense.

151
00:10:30.228 --> 00:10:31.689
It is going to happen.

152
00:10:33.910 --> 00:10:37.633
But he's saying you only get the mark if you acknowledge me as God.

153
00:10:38.553 --> 00:10:40.194
If you're a Christian, you've got a problem with that.

154
00:10:41.635 --> 00:10:42.035
I'll say.

155
00:10:42.756 --> 00:10:44.777
But if you're a Christian, you're probably left in the rapture.

156
00:10:45.578 --> 00:10:47.699
But then we find out there's others that become a Christian.

157
00:10:47.819 --> 00:10:50.841
After the rapture goes, they say, Oops, I should have been a Christian.

158
00:10:50.982 --> 00:10:51.942
I want to be with them.

159
00:10:52.683 --> 00:10:57.966
And now you get to face this thing where, Okay, you've got to take my mark and acknowledge me as God.

160
00:11:00.148 --> 00:11:01.208
Or you're going to be beheaded.

161
00:11:01.709 --> 00:11:02.289
That's what it says.

162
00:11:02.689 --> 00:11:03.390
Read the scriptures.

163
00:11:06.363 --> 00:11:07.123
You don't want to be there.

164
00:11:07.443 --> 00:11:09.064
You just don't want to be there.

165
00:11:10.184 --> 00:11:15.465
So anyway, this speaks to this in Daniel chapter 12.

166
00:11:15.625 --> 00:11:20.106
Even at that time, at that time, your people shall be delivered.

167
00:11:21.166 --> 00:11:26.547
Now understand, he says, there should be a time of trouble such as never was since the beginning of a nation.

168
00:11:27.848 --> 00:11:28.308
It's true.

169
00:11:29.548 --> 00:11:30.048
The wrath of God.

170
00:11:30.875 --> 00:11:32.576
At that time your people shall be delivered.

171
00:11:32.896 --> 00:11:36.458
Everyone who is found in the Lamb's book of life.

172
00:11:36.538 --> 00:11:37.699
Get this, get this.

173
00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:40.000
This is all the way back in Daniel, okay?

174
00:11:44.843 --> 00:11:46.904
Everyone who is found written in the book of life.

175
00:11:47.804 --> 00:11:50.966
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall wake.

176
00:11:51.406 --> 00:11:54.948
Okay, just what I was explaining to you about the dead in Christ first rise.

177
00:11:55.529 --> 00:11:56.989
Some do everlasting life.

178
00:11:57.029 --> 00:11:59.651
Some do shame in everlasting contempt.

179
00:12:05.905 --> 00:12:07.766
We're coming to a line in the sand.

180
00:12:07.786 --> 00:12:10.027
You think you have a lot of time left, you don't.

181
00:12:11.868 --> 00:12:14.849
We've always forever said Jesus is coming.

182
00:12:15.569 --> 00:12:16.950
Make that decision now.

183
00:12:18.171 --> 00:12:22.833
But AI points out the timing of, and I'm gonna get more specific to that in a moment.

184
00:12:22.853 --> 00:12:26.734
He's got AI is pointing out how specific that is.

185
00:12:28.075 --> 00:12:29.336
No man knows the day or the hour.

186
00:12:29.396 --> 00:12:31.377
Even Jesus doesn't know the day or the hour.

187
00:12:31.397 --> 00:12:33.037
That's only for the Father in heaven.

188
00:12:33.117 --> 00:12:34.318
But, but,

189
00:12:35.112 --> 00:12:37.993
You shall know the signs of the times.

190
00:12:39.474 --> 00:12:41.555
I read you a passage earlier of all this stuff.

191
00:12:41.575 --> 00:12:42.776
That's the signs of the times.

192
00:12:42.816 --> 00:12:47.338
He says, when you see these things begin to happen, lift up your head and rejoice for your redemption.

193
00:12:48.459 --> 00:12:49.599
Draw us nigh.

194
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.501
You're about to be raptured out of all this mess.

195
00:12:57.583 --> 00:13:00.765
Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament.

196
00:13:01.623 --> 00:13:05.084
And those who turn away, they're righteous like the Sarge forever and ever.

197
00:13:05.924 --> 00:13:13.345
But you, O Daniel, listen to what he says, but you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end.

198
00:13:15.726 --> 00:13:16.146
Get this.

199
00:13:18.926 --> 00:13:27.408
When many shall run to and fro and knowledge is exploded with an explosion of knowledge.

200
00:13:28.508 --> 00:13:29.568
That's the ultimate sign.

201
00:13:31.505 --> 00:13:33.266
Are we seeing an explosion of knowledge?

202
00:13:34.746 --> 00:13:35.166
You think?

203
00:13:39.628 --> 00:13:40.748
And it's been hidden from us.

204
00:13:43.309 --> 00:13:43.769
Till now.

205
00:13:46.930 --> 00:13:54.833
You know, I've been asking people the last several weeks, pointing out to them that the rapture is coming and the end is now.

206
00:13:56.574 --> 00:13:59.575
And watching for their reaction, it's kind of like a litmus test.

207
00:14:02.052 --> 00:14:07.818
So I say to people, if you knew the rapture was happening tomorrow at four o'clock, what would you do between now and then?

208
00:14:07.838 --> 00:14:17.147
Do you know that only one person told me that they would start getting everybody talking about Jesus?

209
00:14:17.607 --> 00:14:19.229
Only one person.

210
00:14:22.913 --> 00:14:25.535
So maybe I said, boy, I got to make sure my life's in order.

211
00:14:25.655 --> 00:14:29.297
If you're just now trying to figure out if your life's in order, you've got a problem.

212
00:14:29.757 --> 00:14:31.438
And yes, you better get your life in order.

213
00:14:31.458 --> 00:14:33.319
You better receive Jesus Christ right now.

214
00:14:36.041 --> 00:14:39.523
Somebody said, well, I need to be with my family.

215
00:14:39.543 --> 00:14:41.264
I need to spend time with my family.

216
00:14:41.284 --> 00:14:42.105
I need to do this.

217
00:14:42.185 --> 00:14:43.045
I need to do that.

218
00:14:46.467 --> 00:14:48.829
We're living in a world that's lost.

219
00:14:50.029 --> 00:14:50.750
They're lost.

220
00:14:52.758 --> 00:14:54.059
Are we not concerned for them?

221
00:14:56.401 --> 00:14:59.604
Now granted, I live in a world where I move everybody every day close to Jesus.

222
00:14:59.624 --> 00:15:01.165
That's the first thing in my mind no matter what.

223
00:15:01.185 --> 00:15:08.771
But if you tell me that the world's gonna end and the raptures are gonna have, not the world's gonna end, but the raptures are gonna happen at four, I only have it till four o'clock tomorrow.

224
00:15:08.992 --> 00:15:09.952
Guess what I'm gonna do?

225
00:15:12.715 --> 00:15:15.837
I'm not gonna sleep, I'm not gonna eat, I'm gonna get to everybody I possibly can.

226
00:15:15.857 --> 00:15:17.619
I get people in the street, I'm gonna grab them.

227
00:15:20.375 --> 00:15:28.040
Spurgeon, the great pastor from the 1800s, he said, if they go to hell, may they go to hell only with my arms wrapped around them trying to keep them here.

228
00:15:35.945 --> 00:15:37.566
Do you not have concern for the lost?

229
00:15:41.529 --> 00:15:42.810
Do you know the horrors of hell?

230
00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:44.511
Do you know they're headed for hell?

231
00:15:44.591 --> 00:15:45.892
I'm sorry, there is a hell.

232
00:15:46.252 --> 00:15:46.812
It's real.

233
00:15:47.833 --> 00:15:48.974
And it's there now.

234
00:15:50.565 --> 00:15:53.507
And most people are going there now unless you stop them.

235
00:15:55.328 --> 00:16:01.191
Why would they not the immediate thought of your mind when you hear it's going to end your time is going up, you're going to go into rapture.

236
00:16:02.412 --> 00:16:03.393
Four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

237
00:16:03.713 --> 00:16:06.955
Why is your first thought not, I got people, I got all these friends.

238
00:16:08.996 --> 00:16:10.037
I can't let them go to hell.

239
00:16:13.768 --> 00:16:14.608
I said it earlier.

240
00:16:15.249 --> 00:16:16.489
Even so, come Lord Jesus.

241
00:16:16.549 --> 00:16:19.891
I think of that so often, but then I immediately say, no, not yet.

242
00:16:20.311 --> 00:16:22.192
I got too many people I'm working on.

243
00:16:22.472 --> 00:16:23.612
I need a little more time.

244
00:16:23.632 --> 00:16:36.178
If you hear this thing, last call, those of you who are into alcohol and partying and going to bars, you hear last call.

245
00:16:37.438 --> 00:16:38.459
Last call for drinks.

246
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:41.540
Folks, this is the last call

247
00:16:44.407 --> 00:16:45.368
to get people into heaven.

248
00:16:46.488 --> 00:16:50.091
All you're gonna have it come now, or forever.

249
00:16:54.053 --> 00:17:04.020
Let me tell you what sets, it doesn't set God's timing, it confirms God's timing more than anything else, and you can't get away from it.

250
00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:05.941
It's called back dating, okay?

251
00:17:06.322 --> 00:17:10.845
So the scriptures are very clear, it's seven years, this seven year period.

252
00:17:11.913 --> 00:17:13.595
And then we had the battle Armageddon, right?

253
00:17:13.795 --> 00:17:15.677
And the battle Armageddon is spelled out real clearly.

254
00:17:15.697 --> 00:17:18.299
You can Google it with your search engine, whatever you'll find it.

255
00:17:19.060 --> 00:17:21.402
Don't trust me, but it's there.

256
00:17:21.943 --> 00:17:23.324
And you've heard about it all your life, battle.

257
00:17:23.524 --> 00:17:24.265
It's a real battle.

258
00:17:26.207 --> 00:17:28.189
And it's not an AI battle.

259
00:17:28.669 --> 00:17:31.812
It's not an artificial intelligence battle.

260
00:17:31.852 --> 00:17:33.194
It's not a software battle.

261
00:17:33.214 --> 00:17:34.495
Who has the best software?

262
00:17:37.127 --> 00:17:50.230
The moral dilemma is at this point in time for militaries all over the world, but particularly ours, is this moral issue of AI and how we make our battlefield decisions.

263
00:17:52.651 --> 00:17:53.551
It's already being used.

264
00:17:53.611 --> 00:17:58.413
Every military is using AI for identification and reconnaissance and defense.

265
00:17:58.433 --> 00:17:59.113
It's happening.

266
00:17:59.193 --> 00:17:59.873
Everybody's doing that.

267
00:18:02.339 --> 00:18:13.826
If you want to be disturbed a little bit and inadvertently tell you how close we are to the end, Google artificial intelligence in the military.

268
00:18:15.247 --> 00:18:26.033
Do you know almost every creator of AI, all the different programs, almost every single one, I think every single one of them said, don't let it get close to that, don't do that, and don't let it run it.

269
00:18:27.017 --> 00:18:28.317
Keep it away from that, please.

270
00:18:28.657 --> 00:18:30.018
Like that can be stopped.

271
00:18:30.438 --> 00:18:36.739
Do you know anybody that says, if you hear somebody, you hear it every day, we gotta put a moratorium on this.

272
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:38.359
We can't let this go on anymore.

273
00:18:38.379 --> 00:18:39.179
Let's just stop.

274
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:42.700
They know it can't be stopped, folks.

275
00:18:44.540 --> 00:18:48.241
They're trying to, the ones that create are trying to look, now look righteous.

276
00:18:49.341 --> 00:18:50.361
Oh, we need to stop it.

277
00:18:50.401 --> 00:18:53.062
Knowing it can't be stopped, but it makes them look a little bit righteous.

278
00:18:53.102 --> 00:18:55.322
Like they're trying to stop what they already created.

279
00:18:58.496 --> 00:19:03.759
It will not be stopped because unless everybody stops, it's a kiss of death.

280
00:19:04.520 --> 00:19:05.941
Do you think China's going to stop?

281
00:19:06.841 --> 00:19:08.382
Oh, let's all stop AI.

282
00:19:08.442 --> 00:19:10.543
Okay, do you think China's going to stop?

283
00:19:12.445 --> 00:19:19.689
Do you know in the scheme of things, I've been told there were something like, in the skill of AI, that we're way down the list.

284
00:19:19.769 --> 00:19:21.050
I mean, not even in the top ten.

285
00:19:24.634 --> 00:19:33.261
And they're using it beyond, there's this code of ethics at AI among a lot of nations that we will not use it for the direction of military.

286
00:19:33.441 --> 00:19:34.662
Okay, we're not using it for that.

287
00:19:36.643 --> 00:19:38.004
But you fight fire with fire.

288
00:19:40.386 --> 00:19:49.893
And AI, we sent drones over to the Ukraine, you probably saw the report, and those drones attacked Russia targets.

289
00:19:52.315 --> 00:19:53.196
Devastatingly.

290
00:19:54.686 --> 00:19:58.787
because they weren't controlled by man, they're controlled by AI, artificial intelligence.

291
00:19:58.807 --> 00:20:03.409
They knew exactly where their target was and they went right to the mark, tip of the iceberg.

292
00:20:05.430 --> 00:20:07.410
But then where do we send them?

293
00:20:07.750 --> 00:20:15.573
If we have these AI type weapons, but we're still in control, it was like, do we go there or there, we hit this mark?

294
00:20:17.038 --> 00:20:26.003
On the other side, if you let the IAEA decide that, they know that information, all the information, because they're privy to everything, every piece of intelligence in the world they got.

295
00:20:26.904 --> 00:20:29.425
And in an instant, they don't need man's mind.

296
00:20:29.465 --> 00:20:32.767
They just make a decision, they go, and they destroy.

297
00:20:32.787 --> 00:20:35.789
That's where we're headed.

298
00:20:38.130 --> 00:20:39.551
And Armageddon's seven years away.

299
00:20:43.333 --> 00:20:44.314
How is it possible

300
00:20:45.078 --> 00:20:47.540
I mean, can you imagine where AI will be in seven years?

301
00:20:48.020 --> 00:20:50.822
Can you imagine where AI will be in seven years?

302
00:20:52.744 --> 00:20:56.487
Can you imagine AI not controlling our wars in seven years?

303
00:20:57.227 --> 00:20:59.609
I can't, it seems impossible to me.

304
00:21:02.491 --> 00:21:04.153
If you're defending the United States,

305
00:21:05.770 --> 00:21:08.914
and your role is to defend the United States and you're getting beat to death.

306
00:21:09.455 --> 00:21:11.758
You're trying to make a decision, they're hitting you, bam!

307
00:21:12.959 --> 00:21:13.520
And bam!

308
00:21:14.121 --> 00:21:23.433
With their artificially intelligent mindset that didn't require man's activity and input and delay.

309
00:21:25.112 --> 00:21:29.316
Meanwhile, I'm trying to make up my mind where to go and I can get bam.

310
00:21:29.476 --> 00:21:38.885
I mean, at some point you gotta say, the only defense, the only way I can defend America in our interest is to use AI to defend against their AI.

311
00:21:38.965 --> 00:21:39.845
And that's gonna come.

312
00:21:39.946 --> 00:21:41.467
There's no question about it's gonna come.

313
00:21:41.487 --> 00:21:42.488
Everybody knows that.

314
00:21:43.529 --> 00:21:44.590
The question is when.

315
00:21:47.072 --> 00:21:48.914
Seems to me it would be sooner than seven years.

316
00:21:48.974 --> 00:21:51.316
It won't be because you have the battle of Armageddon.

317
00:21:53.435 --> 00:22:02.619
The history of mankind is being completed at the battle of Armageddon in Israel.

318
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:10.683
And it mentions, I don't know if it metaphorically, whatever, but it does talk about a lot of blood, but that's just a metaphor or whatever.

319
00:22:11.543 --> 00:22:18.927
You can't get away from the fact that God didn't create mankind, have us all live all this time, and have the final decision maker being software.

320
00:22:22.588 --> 00:22:25.529
Artificial intelligence, that doesn't make sense.

321
00:22:25.549 --> 00:22:26.369
That's not going to happen.

322
00:22:26.469 --> 00:22:27.509
Okay, God's got a plan.

323
00:22:28.849 --> 00:22:29.989
And he's told us how it's going to end.

324
00:22:30.449 --> 00:22:33.090
But my point is backdating, okay, hear me on this.

325
00:22:35.150 --> 00:22:43.312
If Armageddon, if the rapture happened today, and I think it could, I'm almost going to be surprised if it doesn't happen today, quite frankly.

326
00:22:45.072 --> 00:22:45.572
I mean that.

327
00:22:47.732 --> 00:22:51.933
If the rapture happened today, the battle of Armageddon is still seven years away.

328
00:22:55.704 --> 00:22:56.364
Do you follow me?

329
00:22:57.105 --> 00:22:59.686
The battle of Armageddon is still seven years away.

330
00:23:00.026 --> 00:23:05.028
That means artificial intelligence has yet to take over the weapons of the world.

331
00:23:05.048 --> 00:23:11.751
And understand the battle of Armageddon is really all the nations of the world coming against Israel and coming against God.

332
00:23:11.771 --> 00:23:17.654
And it's this war of man against God, man against Israel.

333
00:23:17.994 --> 00:23:24.017
It's man, it's a focused man, conscious man, spiritual man, warring together.

334
00:23:25.208 --> 00:23:29.713
Not sitting over the sideline and pushing a button and letting AI do their work.

335
00:23:29.753 --> 00:23:30.854
It's not gonna happen.

336
00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:39.564
Armageddon is seven years away if the rapture happens today.

337
00:23:43.048 --> 00:23:45.090
My question to you is, are you ready?

338
00:23:48.323 --> 00:23:49.803
Are you ready to meet the Lord in the air?

339
00:23:50.664 --> 00:23:56.585
I think this is the greatest evangelism message I've ever heard because it's true.

340
00:23:56.605 --> 00:24:00.446
And it's no longer hypothetical.

341
00:24:00.646 --> 00:24:01.447
It's going to end.

342
00:24:01.507 --> 00:24:02.787
You know, there'll be an end.

343
00:24:02.807 --> 00:24:06.168
When I'm 20 years old, I'm having fun.

344
00:24:06.388 --> 00:24:07.288
It's going to end.

345
00:24:07.308 --> 00:24:09.169
And it's going to end now.

346
00:24:10.812 --> 00:24:15.936
Thank God if you haven't received Jesus Christ before now, you can now.

347
00:24:16.457 --> 00:24:18.779
Right now, I can't guarantee you another five minutes.

348
00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:20.340
I can guarantee you now.

349
00:24:22.201 --> 00:24:23.202
I can guarantee you now.

350
00:24:23.763 --> 00:24:24.263
Are you ready?

351
00:24:25.784 --> 00:24:26.225
You ready?

352
00:24:27.406 --> 00:24:28.667
Like the thief on the cross.

353
00:24:29.808 --> 00:24:37.214
He says to him, even now, you'll be with me in glory.

354
00:24:40.513 --> 00:24:49.099
Jesus is ready to say to you right now, he's ready to speak to you right now and say even now, would you pray with me?

355
00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:56.344
Those of you that probably 30% of you so are not there yet, I don't want to lose you and you don't want to go to hell.

356
00:24:56.804 --> 00:25:03.649
It's a horrible, tormentous place and all the things about the fire and the worms and the shrieking and the demons, it's all true.

357
00:25:04.390 --> 00:25:07.512
It's the ultimate punishment for those who didn't receive Jesus Christ.

358
00:25:09.624 --> 00:25:10.425
You don't want to go there.

359
00:25:11.465 --> 00:25:12.446
But most are going there.

360
00:25:15.448 --> 00:25:16.748
It's time to man up.

361
00:25:16.969 --> 00:25:18.750
It's time.

362
00:25:18.830 --> 00:25:21.732
This is the day of your salvation right now.

363
00:25:21.992 --> 00:25:22.972
Would you hear me on this?

364
00:25:23.933 --> 00:25:24.874
Would you pray with me?

365
00:25:25.374 --> 00:25:25.974
Father God.

366
00:25:29.096 --> 00:25:30.217
I understand you're God.

367
00:25:30.937 --> 00:25:31.618
And you're holy.

368
00:25:34.439 --> 00:25:36.221
And I thank you for making me.

369
00:25:37.641 --> 00:25:38.362
Creating me.

370
00:25:40.758 --> 00:26:06.209
placing me in my mother's room, being with me my entire life, knowing my every thought, my every action, and you love me unreservedly, totally, and you have one desire for me, that I spend eternity with you.

371
00:26:08.390 --> 00:26:09.310
I understand God,

372
00:26:12.188 --> 00:26:15.409
You made me for eternity.

373
00:26:15.990 --> 00:26:17.470
You made me for heaven.

374
00:26:19.751 --> 00:26:21.892
And all I have to do is accept your gift.

375
00:26:24.313 --> 00:26:37.858
That gift of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for me, shedding his blood that gives me pardon, gives God, gives you God justification

376
00:26:39.396 --> 00:26:41.838
for allowing me to spend eternity with you.

377
00:26:45.841 --> 00:26:56.969
I thank you this moment from the bottom of my heart for offering me your gift of eternal life.

378
00:26:59.490 --> 00:27:01.532
And I at this very moment receive your gift.

379
00:27:01.832 --> 00:27:03.733
God, I receive your gift.

380
00:27:04.034 --> 00:27:06.095
I receive your gift of eternal life.

381
00:27:06.135 --> 00:27:06.936
Hallelujah.

382
00:27:07.476 --> 00:27:08.197
I'm free.

383
00:27:10.747 --> 00:27:12.808
who you set free, you're free indeed.

384
00:27:13.228 --> 00:27:15.890
I receive your freedom right now.

385
00:27:16.130 --> 00:27:19.432
Knowledge, I'm safe and secure.

386
00:27:22.154 --> 00:27:23.515
And ready for that rapture.

387
00:27:23.575 --> 00:27:24.855
It's going to come at any moment.

388
00:27:26.656 --> 00:27:27.317
Thank you, God.

389
00:27:28.517 --> 00:27:35.982
Thank you, Jesus, for being my Savior from hell and the Lord of my life.

390
00:27:41.465 --> 00:27:47.449
Help me, Lord, to fulfill that scripture in Romans 10, 9.

391
00:27:47.929 --> 00:27:51.491
Believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that you're Lord.

392
00:27:53.432 --> 00:27:56.674
Whatever time I have left, help me do that, God.

393
00:27:56.734 --> 00:27:57.915
Help me be your witness.

394
00:27:58.776 --> 00:28:01.057
Help me get as many people into heaven as possible.

395
00:28:02.178 --> 00:28:05.920
Between now and when I see you face to face.

396
00:28:07.361 --> 00:28:08.301
Thank you, Holy God.

397
00:28:09.882 --> 00:28:10.763
Thank you, Jesus.

398
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:14.221
I praise your holy name.

399
00:28:16.522 --> 00:28:17.163
Hallelujah.

400
00:28:20.045 --> 00:28:22.186
Folks, if you just prayed that prayer, you're done.

401
00:28:25.368 --> 00:28:26.449
See you in the rapture, okay?

402
00:28:27.450 --> 00:28:30.071
