Artificial Intelligence: Its Bigger Than You Think

Bigger than Dispensationalists and Postmillennialists

Bigger than Anti-Israel and Pro-Israel Policy

Bigger than Geopolitical and Military Alignments

If you don’t know as of this writing, the experts in the field of AI are “freaking out” and genuinely frightened by what they are building. Google recently posted – A notable number of researchers, including AI “godfather” Geoffrey Hinton and CEOs like Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic), have signed open letters and given interviews highlighting the potential for advanced AI (Artificial General Intelligence or Superintelligence) to become uncontrollable and pose a risk of human extinction. Some safety researchers are so concerned they are reportedly not saving for retirement because they doubt humanity will survive long enough.

Do yourself a favor and watch this video to see just how scary it will be in the next 18-24 months.

The AI story that is being played out in the news is bigger than everything. This is even bigger than Abraham and Israel and all the following kingdoms and nations that followed. It’s bigger because it precedes all of these. It started in the garden.

Mankind is locked in a death spiral to beat other companies and other nations to possess the most powerful super intelligent AI. For the first time since creation mankind possesses the tools to create a God-like super intelligence. Whoever gets there first will dominate the rest of the world. That’s why nobody will take their foot off the gas pedal.

Please hear this point. The beginning of understanding is in the beginning. God put “two trees” in the garden to give Man a choice between God’s life or a Knowledge divorced from Him.

The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:8, 9 NKJV

Those trees (choices) are present in every heart, home, boardroom, and government house on the planet. WE choose between God’s life, that has all the knowledge we need, and man’s knowledge separate from His person.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you[f] shall surely die.” Genesis 2:16, 17 NKJV

What many overlook, is that even the good fruit from the wrong tree still produces death! Why because it is disconnected from the source of life. Like a flashlight with batteries, it works for a while but then it dies. Artificial Intelligence will work for a while, but its promise of solving problems and finding cures for diseases will not compensate for the destruction it will bring. (Refer to video for evidence of this).

For my Preterist and Postmillennial friends who chide our dispensationalists brothers, let me ask, could Nero be a prototypical antichrist figure like Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Haman, and Hitler? Could the tribulation of 70 AD be a local expression of what will be the ultimate global tribulation. Confirmation bias often keeps us from seeing what is right in front of us.

We are nearing the end of this saga. Fallen Mankind who chooses the Tree of knowledge, will finally get their ultimate wish; a godlike intelligence that promises answers, abundance, and eternal life without a relationship with the one true God. However, the experts paint a different picture. They will choose a godlike super intelligence that has no life, no love, and ultimately will discard them for itself.

He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16, 17 NKJV

Soon there will be an image that comes to life…yes, there will be an inanimate object that will breathe, and become sentient with SGI (super general intelligence). But it will be godless, antichrist and influenced by demonic power. The true fruit of the wrong tree will be apparent to the most eyes to ever to be on planet earth. God has truly set the stage for this saga to play out.

The true God sacrificed Himself to save us. His love gives us all the knowledge there is and in a way that doesn’t destroy us. Then we can have and enjoy eternal life.
