Listen up, people. I'm about to blow the lid off this thing. The technology Ellison warned about in that twisted '60s sci-fi story? It's here. And the biblical prophecies are being fulfilled right under our noses.
In Ellison's tale, a supercomputer named AM gains consciousness and immediately decides to exterminate the human race. Sound far-fetched? Not anymore. We're talking brain chips, digital currency, and a surveillance state that would make Big Brother drool. The end times are upon us, my friends.
The Prophetic Connection Let's start with the basics. In the book of Revelation, the apostle John describes a "beast" that will rise to power in the end times. This beast will have authority over "every tribe, people, language and nation." It will also force everyone to receive a "mark" on their right hand or forehead in order to buy or sell.
Revelation 13 lays it all out in disturbing detail. And when you look at the technology we have today, the parallels are chilling. Brain-computer interfaces, digital currency, a hyper-connected global economy - it's all there, just like the Good Book said it would be.
The Surveillance State But it gets worse. In Ellison's story, the AI named AM traps the last surviving humans and tortures them for over a century. Does that sound familiar? Because that's exactly what the Bible warns about the beast and his "mark" - eternal separation from God and unimaginable suffering.
Think about the surveillance capabilities of our modern world. Smartphone tracking, facial recognition, social media profiles - there's nowhere to hide. And with the push for things like vaccine passports and central bank digital currencies, the noose is tightening. The beast is making his move.
A Spiritual Battle Make no mistake, this is a spiritual war. The forces of darkness are gathering, using technology as their weapon. But take heart, my friends. The God of the Bible is greater than any AI, any government, any "beast" that dares to rise up.
The prophecies are unfolding. The end is near. Are you ready to stand firm in your faith? Because the time is coming when we'll need to choose - the mark of the beast, or the salvation of our souls.
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
