In this week's episode, Mike and Will explore the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and biblical end times prophecy, examining whether modern technology could fulfill ancient predictions about deception and the Antichrist. They begin with Daniel's vision of earthly kingdoms, tracing the progression from Babylon to Rome and discussing how Christ's kingdom represents the "stone" that becomes a mountain. The conversation shifts to AI's current capabilities, from deep fake technology to virtual companions, raising questions about whether AI could serve as the "image of the beast" described in Revelation. Moving into 1 and 2 Thessalonians, they examine Paul's teachings about Christ's return, the "man of lawlessness," and the signs believers should watch for before the end times. Finally, they address practical concerns about living as truth-tellers in an age of increasing deception, encouraging Christians to remain grounded in Scripture while staying alert to the times.
