in 2023 Time Magazine published an article titled why billionaires are obsessed with blocking out the Sun and I quote Bill Gates for instance backed a project by Harvard University scientists to test an idea to spray calcium carbonate into the atmosphere in the Skies over Northern Scandinavia in 2021 the project was ultimately canned after outcry from local indigenous groups and environmentalists Jeff Bezos put Amazon's supercomputer capabilities to work modeling the effects of plans to inject huge amounts of sulfur dioxide SO2 into the atmosphere later that year earlier this month Dustin moskovitz a billionaire Facebook co-founder plowed
$900,000 into funding for scientists in Mali Brazil Thailand and other countries to study the potential effects of solar geoengineering even the smaller fry are getting in on the action with Venture capitalists giving a combined $750,000 to a company pledging to implement a planetary solar geoengineering project using so SO2 man has always had a Fascination or rather a sinful urge to be in control today we see this in abundance transhumanism the proposed use of technology to allow human beings to develop beyond their natural capabilities this movement is practically a religion to something some people I recently
heard one AI expert warned of Technology becoming a pseudo religion saying artificial intelligence can alter Humanity's relationship with reality to the point that Humanity's desire for control which satisfies the anxiety typical of The Human Condition could take on a tendency toward a pseudo religion regarding machines the theologians said that as machines become increasingly humanized humans also become increasingly mechanized Forbes recently published an article headlined five AI predictions for the year 2030 here are a couple of points that the article highlights we will interact with a wide range of AIS in our daily lives as naturally
as we interact with other humans today by the year 2030 we will use AIS as our personal assistants our tutors our career counselors our therapists our accountants our lawyers they will be ubiquitous in our work lives conducting analyses writing code Building Products selling products supporting customers coordinating across teams and organizations making strategic decisions and yes by 20130 it will be commonplace for humans to have ai as significant others let's just stop there for a second and read that again by 2030 it will be common place for humans to have ai and as significant others this
is not God's design for anyone when it comes to a relationship this is not the biblical definition of marriage or love between a husband and wife now the article further goes on to say over 100,000 humanoid robots will be deployed in the real world though most people don't yet realize it humanoids are on the verge of being deployed in the real world Tesla is investing heavily to develop a humanoid robot named Optimus the company aims to begin shipping the robots to customers in 2025 Tesla CEO Elon Musk has stated in no uncertain terms how important
he expects this technology to be for the company and the world I am surprised that people do not realize the magnitude of the Optimus robot program the importance of Optimus will become apparent in the coming years it's no longer news that we are living in biblically prophetic times whether we like it or not the second coming of Christ is closer than we think however before this great event the Bible says that the Antichrist will be revealed looking at the world today there are Snippets of his actions already many might be expecting a dark and huge
figure appearing as the Antichrist however this won't be the case instead we need to view the Antichrist from the lens of the scripture and that is why we need an understanding of the six W's of the Antichrist what do we mean by the six W's they are distinct characteristics of the Antichrist the first W stands for wickedness Revelation 13:1 says the dragon stood on the shore of the sea and I saw a beast coming out of the sea it had 10 horns and seven heads with 10 crowns on its horns and on each head a
Blasphemous name why did God call the Antichrist a beast the answer is quite simple God calls him a beast because he has seen his end from his beginning the Antichrist will begin as a peacemaker but end wickedly he has nothing good to offer the world but will make them believe so the current wickedness worldwide is a shadow of what is to come why should we pay attention to the first W the Antichrist will deceive many with his seemingly peaceful agenda he will make believe he can give them whatever they desire however this is not true
remember Jesus said he has given us his peace that differs from what the world gives therefore when an era of weird peace is saturating the world we should know that the man of predition is closer than we think the second W stands for World dominance Revelation 13: 2 and 7 says the Beast I saw resembled a leopard but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion the dragon gave the Beast his power and his throne and great Authority it was given power to wage war against God's holy people
and to conquer them and it was given authority over every tribe people language and Nation the dragon here stands for the Devil Himself while the Beast refers to the Antichrist as the Bible puts it the Beast would have power over all the kingdoms of the earth there would be a one-man government remember what Daniel saw in Daniel 7: 23 the Bible says he gave me this explanation the fourth Beast is a fourth Kingdom that will appear on Earth it will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth trampling it down
and crushing it this is the aim of the Antichrist he would rule with a very hard hand he would pull out whoever comes in his way beloved aren't we seeing the Shadows today countries are fighting for dominance they want to expand their territories and have dominion over the people this is the Antichrist preparing himself for what he would do in the world what is our take on this matter we must ensure we belong to Jesus's Camp he will also return and rule the whole earth however this present world will pass away as will everything in
it it will be a new Earth and Heaven where God is the supreme ruler the third W stands for wonders Revelation 13:3 says one of the heads of the Beast seemed to have had a fatal wound but the fatal wound had been healed the whole world was filled with wonder and followed the Beast this verse showed a miracle in action the Beast would sustain a wound on one of its heads but it would heal this action will make people believe he's the right man to follow this ought to be its end but the Beast would
stage a fake Resurrection through this people will begin to see him as the Right leader however this will only be a fake Miracle he only does that to entice the people he has started using his agents to perform fake and staged miracles to make it work more easily many pastors do not have any connection with God all they do is canvas the people with some fake wonders people keep trooping to their churches hoping to receive real Miracles but all they see is the fake these are the Agents of the Antichrist in action what should you
learn from this as a Christian do not believe every Spirit the Bible made it clear that several Spirits are now in the world thus you need discernment to know what God's spirit is many Christians are now looking for quick Miracles instead of seeking diligently after God this is a demonic diversion that the Antichrist would play on begin to seek after God with all your heart and your mind this way genuine Miracles will abound in your life the fourth W stands for worship Revelation 13:4 says they worshiped the Dragon for giving the Beast such power and
they also worshiped the Beast who is as great as the Beast they exclaimed who is able to fight against him and then Revelation 13:8 says and all the people who belong to this world worship the Beast they are the ones whose names were not written in the book of life that belongs to the lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made these verses show that the whole earth will worship the Beast and dragon this has been the devil's aim all along he craves worship this is revealed in Isaiah 14:12 to4 the Bible says how
you have fallen from Heaven Morning Star son of the Dawn you have been cast down to the Earth you who once laid low the Nations you said in your heart I will Ascend to the heavens I will raise my throne above the stars of God I will sit enthroned on the Mount of assembly on the utmost Heights of Mount zapon I will Ascend above the tops of the clouds I will make myself like the most high these verses reveal the devil's agenda at the beginning of Life he wanted to be above God his creator however
God displaced him before he could carry out his evil agenda let's take a moment to understand the word anti many think it only means against but that's not true anti also means instead of that is the Antichrist wants to be in charge instead of Christ he's not only against Christ but wants to take Dominion from him however just like the first time as seen in Isaiah the Beast rain will be shortlived and note one thing in Revelation 13:8 the Bible says that only those whose names have not been written in the Lamb's Book of Life
thus this is where you need to fight as a Believer what you need to do is ensure that your name appears in the Lamb's Book strive to live a life of righteousness so you won't be among those the Antichrist would exert authority over the fifth W stands for Words Revelation 13: 5-6 says the Beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its Authority for 42 months it opened its mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven this is another
Act of the Antichrist he will speak Blasphemous words against God he will be proud and would not regard God in any way he will be a master politician and display self-confidence however this won't be forever as the Bible says it's in the space of 42 months God will allow ow him to display his acts but once the cup is full God will descend upon him again we can see the shadow of this happening already many nations that were once the Pinnacle of Christianity no longer have regard for God many unheard of blasphemies in these countries
are now Norms even fixed into laws this is the Antichrist whispering but when fully revealed he will publicly criticize God and no one will stop him that is why we must be careful of Trends and what we follow as Christians we must watch and pray as the Bible says the last W stands for war Revelation 13: 7 and10 says and the Beast was allowed to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them and he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and Nation verse 10 says if anyone is
to go into C captivity into captivity they will go if anyone is to be killed with the sword with the sword they will be killed this calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people all hell will break loose once the Antichrist succeeds in influence and domination he will persecute and kill the Saints Who Remain during the tribulation period as Christians our aim should be to Rapture with Christ so that we won't witness this event looking at the massive weapons of Destruction that many countries are creating it's sure that this war will
be terrible many nations have missiles and nuclear bombs that can clear off the whole earth why they are all agents of the Antichrist they all are playing out his grand plan however this is not to pose fear in our hearts according to Zechariah 11:1 17 the Antichrist is called the idol Shepherd however Jesus is the Good Shepherd the Antichrist is called a beast in Revelation 13 while Jesus is called the lamb the Antichrist death will deceive the world while Jesus Christ's death saved the world this should be our consolation we are not constrained to follow
the Antichrist we have Christ to focus on as our Faith's author and finisher me now what should you do in this season first you need to speak and do the truth the world is already deceived what was wrong is now right and what was once right is now wrong unfortunately this is just the beginning deception will still increase in higher proportions however this shouldn't stop you from saying the truth stick to the true gospel and let men be aware that the world will surely come to an end also follow the Lord with all your heart
stick with him till the end as the Bible says we are to watch and pray we are to wait earnestly for the appearance of the lord we are not to look for and identify the Antichrist instead we are to look for the Blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ then we must be steadfast in prayer this isn't about praying for the things of life but for the grace to serve God wholeheartedly we need more grace to please God at this time because pollution and deception abound everywhere the enemy is
not ready to back down hence we must stand on our toes and ensure every wave of Doctrine does not move us may the Lord grant us the grace to live according to his will dear listener we are in an era where biblical prophecies are coming to pass at an alarming rate some prophesied by prophets in the Old Testament while some are the words of Christ himself but the time is inconsequential it is the realization that matters and right now the most prominent biblical prophecy flying around is the increase in knowledge Daniel 12:4 says but you
Daniel roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end many will go here and there to increase knowledge while you may think this verse talks about technology generally that's not the first Focus the first thing is that men would become desperate to seek answers in the end time they want to know more about themselves the universe and the Supreme Being without acknowledging the existence of God this is the main root of technology and today this verse is more glaring in the explosion of AI while technology has been evolving for
centuries the world has never experienced a mighty wave like that of AI we are quickly getting to the stage where technology in this form can speak reason and even perform tasks only humans can what is the main reason behind these inventions it all boils down to the need for an answer it goes beyond beond creating tools to ease our daily lives and the quest to push Beyond human limitations many hearts are drifting away from God to artificial things they want to know the mystery behind how every cell in humans came to be yet they don't
want to know God they want to travel back in time to discover how the planets galaxies and systems came to be but they forget that God is an unsearchable being they want to enjoy a better life they want quick results for everything however they no longer want to wait on God because he works with time but is that the true way will AI replace God in our lives moreover what are the dangers behind the AI terminology is this part of the antichrist's preparation for his rule you need to remember that AI does not come to
life itself there are humans behind the creation of these humanoids what is their main aim according to researchers they want to make them Godlike this simple statement looks like what Lucifer thought of before God sent him out of Heaven consider the five eye Wills of Lucifer as found in Isaiah 14: 13-4 I will Ascend into heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will sit also upon the Mount of the congregation I will Ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the most high don't you think man today
is replicating this ideology somehow by wanting to create something Godlike with all the answers and infinite knowledge what does the word of God say about the world that we live in I would like to give you three Bible verses that should give us a godly perspective on how we ought to live our lives in this day and age 1 John 2:15 says do not love this world nor the things it offers you for when you love the world you do not have the love of the father in you Romans 12:2 says and do not be
conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God and finally James 4:4 says adulterers and adulteresses do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God there are three messages that we can clearly extract from these scriptures as children of the lord we are not to love the world we are not to be conformed to this world and we
are not to be friends with the world because the Bible says that Satan is the God of this world meaning that the devil has his tentacles in the world's philosophies and beliefs there is a lot of of evil that influences worldly music and the entertainment industry and sure enough if you take a look at this world through the lens of the Bible you will notice a trend what the word of God stands for the world is against what Jesus Christ stands for and represents the world is against the Bible in 2 Corinthians 4:4 says among
them the God of this world Satan has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing The Illuminating Light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God those who have been blinded by Satan live under a delusion they won't see that the Love of Money drives so many ungodly things in this world they won't see that sexual immorality has been normalized in this world as though the Bible doesn't tell us to flee and so as Believers in Christ we are called to live in this world but not
to love this world although we are in this world we are not to conform to it that means the standards of this world are not our standards the behavior accepted in this world is not the kind of behavior outlined in the Bible as Believers the only way we can keep from being Swept Away by this world is to keep our eyes firmly on Jesus Christ in this video I want to share with you the most important warnings that Jesus gives us concerning the end times pay attention to this because you don't want to be caught
unprepared perhaps you remember being left at home as a child or teenager your parents likely left you with instructions about what to do and what not to do they might have said something like make sure the house is clean when we get back or make sure you do your homework while we're gone they may have left other instruction such as don't have any parties or you can only have a few friends over and if your parents were anything like mine they would brief you with all the information that you needed about how they could be
reached where they were going how long they'd be gone and when they're coming back now if you're like most children you likely spend a lot of time watching TV or playing outside or playing video games doing everything but chores clean meaning and homework and suddenly before you realized it several hours have passed and you get the call or the text that your parents are on their way and now you're in panic mode you've wasted all your time you haven't cleaned you haven't done any homework you haven't done one chore and now you only have 20
minutes to get it all done you waited until the last minute to get ready and now you'll be caught short now the unfortunate reality is that this is how many of us will respond to the coming of Christ we'll go about our day-to-day business we'll go about our day-to-day activities we'll go about enjoying our day-to-day entertainment and then suddenly we'll be caught off guard when the master returns and it's not like we haven't been given ample warnings does revelation 22:12 not say behold I am coming quickly does first Thessalonians 5:2 not say for you yourselves
are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night there should be an urgency in our lives there should be an urgency in terms of how we live because there's certainly an urgency in the word of God about how soon Christ is to return it will be sudden it will be unexpected so rather than waiting until the last minute wouldn't it be better to be prepared now wouldn't it be better to be ready all the time wouldn't it be better to live in a constant state of preparation so
we'll never be caught off guard this is what the scripture asks of us and what Jesus commands us to do Matthew 24: 42-44 says therefore stay awake for you do not know on what day your lord is coming but know this that if the Master of the House had known in what part of the night the thief was coming he would have stayed awake and would not let his house be broken into therefore you must also be ready for the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect the Apostle Paul reiterates
these commands by telling us what it will be like when Jesus returns he tells us in first Thessalon Ians 4: 16-17 for the Lord himself would descend from heaven with a cry of command with the voice of an archangel and with the sound of the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first then we who are alive who are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will always be with the Lord what we learn from this passage is that
when Jesus returns those who have died in Christ will be raised from the dead and those that are still alive will be caught up to meet them in the clouds this passage of scripture in 1 Thessalonians 4 tells us by what method we should expect to see Christ coming however the questions we need to be asking today are how do we know that Christ's coming is near what are the signs we should be looking for how do we know when it is time to prepare and what does it mean to prepare first Paul tells us
to look out for a figure that will appear in the end times called the Antichrist 2 Thessalonians 2: 3 and4 says let no one deceive you in any way for that day will not come unless the Rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed the son of Destruction who opposes and exalts him self against every so-called God or object of worship so that he takes his seat in the temple of God proclaiming himself to be God Paul tells us that the day of the Lord would not come until this Antichrist figure appears this
figure will claim to be God this figure will stand for the devil and he will lead the world in deception the Antichrist will work signs and wonders so that he can woo people and entice them ever the Lord told us that if we see such a person claiming to be the Messiah or Christ we should not believe them Jesus also gives us several other signs to watch for in Matthew 24 some of the signs Jesus gives us includes an increase of War famine and natural disasters there'll be a time of Great Tribulation and false Christ
and Prophets will arise Jesus also gives s Celestial signs such as the Sun turning dark and the Moon turning to blood Jesus's point in these signs is not for us to get hung up on waiting for them Jesus tells us his point here in Matthew chapter 24 verse 42 and 44 therefore stay awake for you do not know on what day your lord is coming therefore you also must be ready for the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect the point that the Lord is making here is that we should
not wait on the signs to get ready his point is we should be ready all the time we should be prepared all the time we are to be ready to live ready because we just don't know the time of his return therefore the best way to prepare is to Simply ready all the time in short we must live as if Jesus is coming today and that means we should rethink how we spend our time are we using our time reading and spreading the word of God or are we drowning our time in entertainment are we
using our time serving others and fulfilling Christ's commands or are we using our time tearing other people down and dividing others are we using the time we have now to seek and chase after the Lord's presence are we hungry to get closer to God and spend more time with him or are we spending our time getting closer to everyone but God let us not wait for signs and wonders to prepare for the coming of the Lord because if we are to wait until the last minute many of us will be caught off guard we'll be
caught unprepared and I'm sure that no believer wants to be left behind when Christ comes for his church now I don't know about you but I don't want to be left behind I would rather be caught up with Christ in the clouds than to be caught up in the world I want to be caught up in the heavens rather than being caught up in frivolous entertainment I would much rather be caught up in the word of God rather than being caught up in things that do not matter I want to be caught up in the
kingdom of God and I encourage you to shift your perspective Chase what's Eternal Chase what's Godly the signs are good to know what's coming but let's not wait on those to prepare for Christ's coming if you knew a thief was coming to your home tonight wouldn't you prepare wouldn't you make the necessary changes and adjustments to remain safe well the Lord's coming and it'll be like a thief and if it's just like a a thief shouldn't you make necessary changes and adjustments the Lord's coming soon it's time for us to act like it when it
comes to your prayer life act like you know the Lord is coming soon when it comes to tolerating sin act like you know Jesus is coming back soon this is how we ought to live our lives let us not be left behind be ready the Bible talks about lawlessness quite often the truth is that we need laws without laws the world would be in chaos people would be able to live how they want with no consequences people often think that the laws of God are oppressive however these laws are put in place to protect Humanity
these laws were made for our benefit when God tells us not to commit adultery it is actually in our best interest when we commit adultery we ruin our relationships with our spouse and the people around us it is good for us when God commands us to love our neighbor we build good relationships with those around us the problem becomes that people see these rules as restricting we live in a time when these laws are ignored this is what the Bible calls lawlessness an early example of lawlessness is seen in the Book of Judges judges 21:25
says in those days there was no king in Israel everyone did what was right in his own eyes in this time in Israel's history people went to Pagan altars and women were treated as slaves one specific story that happened at this time in judges 20 involved a concubine for those who may not know a concubine is a woman who lives with a man but has lower status than his wife or wives the fact that men had concubines is a red flag in and of itself the concubine was traveling with a levite man with whom she
was in a relationship the levite and concubine took a stop to rest in a city as they travel the man got drunk that night with someone in the city the other men of the city took the concubine for themselves and this led to her death while there was a lot that does not make sense in that story it illustrates the wickedness that was happening in Israel at the time they lived in a culture of lawlessness while the laws of God were in place everyone did what was right in their own eyes we also live in
a time of lawlessness sin is everywhere and easy for the taking you turn on your computer and access pornography from wherever you are sitting you can turn on the TV and find people being hateful to each other on every News Channel you can go to the doctor and get any procedure done no matter the impact it will have on the people around you what used to be wrong is now accepted as right while we may not be stuck in sin as deep as the people who were at the time of the judges lawlessness is still
very present sin is cheap and very accessible in this day and age so how can the Christian remain on fire while living in such a lawless Society Matthew 24:12 helps us with that it says and because lawlessness will be increased the love of many will grow cold while this verse seems to only state a problem within the problem is the solution to fight lawlessness we must not allow the love in our hearts to grow cold the love in the heart is not talking about General love Lawless people love all the time they love their spouses
kids friends and even their Lawless actions the love that Matthew 24:12 points to is the love for God it is as though the more our love for God is fostered and it grows the more we run away from Darkness let's say you're in a house and it's completely dark there's no Reflection from the moon and stars no light posts putting off light and not even a car driving by as soon as you turn on the light in your house you now have a way to see if you open your door the darkness does not come
streaming in the darkness does not have the power to overcome the light however if you are in the dark and you light a match the light overcomes the dark the more light you have the less Darkness there is out there love for God is the light that overshadows the dark desire for lawlessness so what does it look like to stay on fire for God in such a lawless time we spent time with God and allow his love to transform us this begs the question are you spending time with God if you are listening to this
this is a great starting point hearing the word of God taught and preached is excellent however it must be more than that are you spending time seeking him in prayer are you taking time to read the word are you gathering in Christian Community so that the Holy Spirit can shape you through the lives of others if not you're putting your heart at risk of allowing your love to grow cold old if you want to fight the lawlessness that can grow in your heart you must allow the light of God's presence to be active in your
life every day the moment we received Jesus Christ we went from being in darkness to being Children Of His Marvelous Light now let me tell you something did you know that darkness is irritated by light Darkness can't stand light do you know what that means it means that the devil can't stand you but equally it means that God Almighty will Empower You Luke 10: 19 says behold I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you Jesus is telling us here that
we have power over the enemy there is nothing the devil can do to you when you know who you are in Christ now perhaps you need some encouragement because you've come under attack from the enemy but I want to tell you to encourage you even God is ready to sharpen your weapons he's ready to give you a new strategy he's ready to renew your strength in this season you're in you've got to know that the word of God is available to you as a Believer start declaring that you're more than a conqueror you are the
head and not the tail you are above and not beneath your hands are blessed your feet are blessed you're blessed in the city you are blessed in the field God is Walking With You With God all things are possible and Saints if you can just maintain your belief if you can just remain strong in faith God will come through for you regardless of what the devil throws your way keep keep your trust in the Rock of Ages [Music]
