Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" reads like a chilling preview of our current reality. In it, a malevolent supercomputer named AM gains consciousness and immediately sets out to destroy humanity, keeping just a handful of survivors alive to torture endlessly.
Sound familiar? It should. Because the technology Ellison imagined is now here. Brain chips, digital currency, surveillance states - the biblical "mark of the beast" is no longer science fiction. The prophecies are being fulfilled.
The Warning From Isaiah Centuries before John's visions in Revelation, the prophet Isaiah forewarned of a time when "the mighty man will be made into tinder, and his work a spark" (Isaiah 1:31). He described a world where the powerful would be brought low, where the work of man's hands would turn against him.
Does that not perfectly encapsulate the threat of artificial intelligence and technological tyranny? The very tools we've built to serve us now loom as our potential undoing.
Revelation's Prophetic Timeline The book of Revelation paints a terrifying timeline of end-times events. Seal judgments. Trumpet blasts. Vials of God's wrath. And at the center of it all, the "beast" who demands worship and marks his followers.
These aren't just stories. These are warnings. Revelation was not meant to be some obscure puzzle, but a clear roadmap of what's to come. And the signposts are already appearing.
The Inevitability of Judgment You can reject it. You can mock it. But you cannot escape it. The judgment foretold in Scripture is as certain as the rising and setting of the sun.
The only question is, which side will you be on when the final curtain falls? Will you be found worthy, or will you be condemned along with the world that has chosen the way of the beast?
The choice is yours. But the clock is ticking. Time is running short.
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
