The CCP Techno-Demons :: By Terry James

 

If you have been keeping up with what’s going on in the so-called science of AI (Artificial Intelligence), you are aware that the bite into the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is again taking place. The present-day satanic tempters are again not whispering into the ears of mankind, but blatantly and proudly pronouncing that we can and will become like God with our partaking of the technological breakthroughs.

The term is itself, obviously, one formed in the dark, rebellious brilliance of Lucifer’s own mind. I’m referring to the term “transhumanism.”

We are being promised we can one day be like gods. We will not surely die. We will be like the “most High” and live eternally through the transformation.

It seems that with each and every news cycle, new frontiers have been pierced while those devoted to AI and Transhumanism rage to bring about Heaven on earth, totally apart from the God of Heaven. And it is in this rage that the devil and his demonic agents, I believe, might be laying plans to bring about the demise of much of mankind.

Almost certainly, these new technologies have been inspired by such minions. Perhaps it is all setting up to fulfill Bible prophecy, particularly in one area I would like us to consider briefly.

There is no geopolitical force on earth at present more determined to involve all of humanity in a tyrannical way than the beastly wickedness I wish to consider. And I’m not talking about the globalist, one-world order builders who are forming, wittingly or unwittingly, the platform for launching the one who will be Antichrist.

For certain, the master architect is the same for both the globalists and for this entity, but they are assaults on mankind from two directions. Basically, from the occidental world of purveyors of evil and from the oriental purveyors of evil.

It is from the oriental side of this ongoing assault that is scheduled to bring about destructiveness and devastation that I wish to dissect a bit.

The AI and transhuman technologies are from the mind of Satan, the master architect with the blueprint to bring about absolute misery on the human race. He and his minions, both human and supernatural, will, I am convicted, use these anti-God technologies in ways yet to be imagined.

But it is with some imagination that I cogitate a bit on how this most wicked geopolitical agency of the oriental world will be inspired to use the technologies, which I believe are spawned from the mind of the fallen one.

I’m talking about the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. News over the past few years gives credence to my thinking in this regard. The following will, I hope, further my meaning.

Excerpt:

The U.S. military’s top intelligence officer is increasingly worried about China’s research into “human performance enhancement,” including efforts to merge human and machine intelligence.

It’s a “key area” of disruptive technology that will affect national security, Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, told an audience at the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual conference this week.

Chinese efforts to teach machines to think — through emerging technologies like neural nets, a form of artificial intelligence — represent phases of a process that concludes with “the next step, the integration of human and machines,” Ashley said. This, he said, could result in “cognitive advances not just in how we think, but [also] think about the stamina of the individual soldier; think about the ethical impacts of those kinds of technologies and how they would be applied? And how does a democracy view those types of technologies? How will Russia and China leverage those?”…

[Elsa Kania, a fellow with the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security], wrote in an email. “The PLA’s Academy of Military Science has focused on advancing military-civil fusion (or civil-military integration, 军民融合) in brain science research, including to explore options to enhance human capabilities for battlefield perception and decision-making.”

That includes everything from implants that enable human “wetware” (brains) to interact with and share digital information with hardware (computers), to gene-editing through tools like CRISPR. Such work may one day allow China to grow superior troops or turn regular soldiers into super ones.

The specific prophecy that foretells the immense destructive power of the kings of the east is as follows.

“Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them…. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths” (Rev 9: 14-16, 18).

The forewarning of this great force from the oriental world is further expounded upon in the following passage.

“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty” (Rev 16: 12-14).

While it is speculation that the AI and transhumanistic “science” of today might bid entrance of demons from beneath the dried-up Euphrates, it is speculation based upon Scriptural Integrity. Throughout the Bible, there are accounts of demons inhabiting human beings. It is forbidden, as given in Deuteronomy, for instance, to summon spirits, etc. Clearly, these developing, so-called technologies might give an opening to those powerful demonic entities described as having been incarcerated beneath the Euphrates region.

With all areas of earth’s tumult shaping for soon fulfillment of end times prophecy, the growing power of the CCP and their devotion to AI and Transhumanism in order to enhance their military capability makes them look more and more like the kings of the east. This horrendous offspring of the world’s most prolific mass murderer, Mao Zedong, is scheduled to be demon-possessed as a 200 million strong juggernaut. They will murder billions with their power. But their time for such domination and destructiveness is not yet.

No matter how the frightening prospects might be for those who look in growing fear of the CCP and its threat, we who know the Lord can take comfort. He is still in absolute control. He will take His own to safety before that great and terrible day of the Lord.

“The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation” (Psalms 24: 1-5).

Study of “The Day of The Lord” In the Scriptures, Part 5 :: By Ron Ferguson

 

The DAY OF THE LORD is “The Day of Jehovah,” and its usage is always associated with something dire, with judgment, and with events outside the implementation of man. In other words, it is the intervention of God with the power of God in the affairs of this world. It has a primary application to Israel, but that is always extended often to a wider field, and that involves the world. Its main focus is in the Tribulation that is coming. We continue –

[10]. Amos 5:18–20 “Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD, for what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light – as when a man flees from a lion, and a bear meets him, or goes home, leans his hand against the wall, and a snake bites him. Will not the day of the LORD be darkness instead of light, even gloom with no brightness in it?”

((Amos’s primary application in his writing reflects the conditions of his time and impending judgment. In a very broad sense, it could be said that “the Day of the LORD” is God’s hand in judgment right through the existence of His people, the Jews, but we know it always has the greater application to the last days of the age, that is, to the time after the Rapture. At the time of writing, the Lord had complaints against all of them.

Amos dealt with judgment on the surrounding Gentile nations then turned the attention to the divided kingdom with a citation of evils. Here are just two verses – Amos 2:4 “Thus says the LORD, ‘For three transgressions of Judah and for four I will not revoke its punishment because they rejected the law of the LORD and have not kept His statutes. Their lies also have led them astray, those (same lies) after which their fathers walked.'” Amos 2:6 “Thus says the LORD, ‘For three transgressions of Israel and for four I will not revoke its punishment because they sell the righteous for money and the needy for a pair of sandals.'”

The prophet reveals what the Day of the LORD will be like, and there are similarities to Joel, as is often the case in prophetic writings, as Joel came first. In fact, there is another angle to this as Amos states – Amos 3:7 “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets.” We may be sure that these things written are written straight from the Lord’s inspiration.

It is all part of Peter’s statement – 2Peter 1:21 “for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The same judgment signs are there – darkness, fear (of attack and uncertainty), gloom, and no brightness. We are now familiar with these aspects, but there is one surprising revelation in the Amos passage we are looking at.

There were those who were desiring, even panting for the Day of the LORD to come. The idea of panting is that of a dog waiting and hoping for its food with its tongue going in and out. They were wishing for it to happen, to see the Day of the LORD in operation, but Amos told them it would be of no purpose to them. In other words, this was something you really do not want!

There is something ghoulish in the fallen human nature that likes to watch tragedy and calamities happen, especially to others. That is why the Roman arenas were packed with people feasting on hurt being done to victims, people being torn apart, and bodies mangled. It is vile. People might have a decent enough-looking exterior, but inwardly their thoughts and desires spring from the corrupt nature. The human soul is reprobate and full of evil. Some call it “drama,” but it is demonic. In fact, in an oblique reference, Amos adds another dire sign – 8:9 “It will come about in that day,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘that I shall make the sun go down at noon and make the earth dark in broad daylight.'”

Dark hearts love darkness, but the darkness associated with the Day of the LORD is not something they will love. Dread, fear, panic, and chaos are what they will receive.

This has application to us. What are we looking for? Do we desire the Day of the LORD to come? Do we want to see God’s wrath descend on this awful, sinful world? Is it what they deserve? Amos began our passage with “Alas,” for he knows what they wish for is disaster. How many are looking forward to disaster? Sadly, the world generally dismisses any notion of God and certainly dismisses any possibility of the wrath of God. In that regard, they are careless and think they can remain detached from creation. However, in society, there are ghoulish people, ones who are perverse who take a fiendish delight in disaster and hurt coming to others. Some of these are terrorists and pyromaniacs.

In our age, the thinking of young people is fashioned by social media and computer and phone gaming programs. These are satanic, evil, and destructive to the human soul. Satan has fed the world with this perverse, occult stuff, and it will surely reap its reward. Alas, for those who are desiring chaos, disaster and hurt, who long for it to come so they can be voyeurs of the situation. Little do they know that no one who enters the Day of the LORD will escape. All will come under judgment. Every one.

For some reason, many people chase after hurt to others. They like to “dob in,” inform and desire to see hurt come to others. Look at the crowd who cheered on the beheading at the French Revolution; the Romans who delighted to see human beings torn apart by wild animals; gladiators who would kill one another; and even the crowds gathered at the Lord’s crucifixion who loved seeing men executed. It is all demonic because Satan was a murderer from the beginning. He is malicious and malignant.

It would be perverse if a Christian was one of those wanting to see the Tribulation come to “punish all those on earth.” We should never desire the hurt of others or welcome the wrath of God against them, and I know some people are so evil that we might think it will serve them right. But even if they are our enemies and the gross enemies of goodness and decency, we desire their salvation, not their destruction.

The Bible tells us to do good, not evil; therefore, think good, not evil. The Christian ought not to be looking forward to the Day of the LORD in the sense of “bring on the Tribulation!” but needs to be looking above with the great desire for the coming of the Lord to rapture us from this scene. We study the events to come, but we don’t long for people’s destruction.

I long for the coming of the Lord to rapture me. It is correct to desire His appearing to take us from this scene; we know that after the rapture of the Church, horrible evil and wrath will descend on the earth, but God forbid that we are desiring that.

Amos penned this – “as when a man flees from a lion, and a bear meets him, or goes home, leans his hand against the wall, and a snake bites him.” This looks like a “no-win” situation, but what it means is that fear and inevitability will be present in the Tribulation. Men will not escape. You might think you were fortunate to get away from a lion, but then you run into a bear. Even when you think you reach the safety of your own home, then you place your hand on the wall only to be bitten by a snake! There will be no escape when God’s wrath starts to fall.

Isaiah wrote a similar thought, also related to the Day of the LORD – Isaiah 24:17-19 “Terror and pit and snare confront you, O inhabitant of the earth. Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit, and he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; for the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake. The earth is broken asunder, the earth is split through, the earth is shaken violently.”

How can anyone long for the Day of the LORD? It will be fear and terror with no escape.))

[11]. Obadiah 1:15-17 “The day of the LORD draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head, because just as you drank on My holy mountain, all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and swallow, and become as if they had never existed, but on Mount Zion there will be those who escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.”

((This is a most interesting passage for many reasons. Not only is it the shortest Old Testament book, but the lessons are profound. The vision of Obadiah takes up the horrible sins of Edom/Esau, but they widen in scope. Edom is proud, and we have this – Obadiah 1:3 “The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in the loftiness of your dwelling place, who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to earth?'” Here in Obadiah, he raises pride, which was Moab’s great sin, arrogantly speaking against the Lord.

This is just the forerunner of the coming world leader, the evil, arrogant Antichrist who will think he is impregnable. Revelation 13:5 “There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.” He, too, will suffer the same fate as proud, arrogant old Moab did. His dealings will return on his own head.

When the Jews were trying to escape Jerusalem while under attack from Nebuchadnezzar, the Moabites did the following: Obadiah 1:10-11 “Because of violence to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame, and you will be cut off forever. On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth, and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem – you too were as one of them.” Moab was as bloodthirsty as all the rest, as Babylon. They gloated over their brother’s misfortune; they looted his wealth in the day of overthrow; they gloated over Israel’s calamity; they stood at the fork of the road to cut down their fugitives, and they imprisoned their survivors in the day of their distress.

God will never stand for violence done to Israel. It will always meet retribution. Violence to Israel will be in the Tribulation.

Now we look at our passage. Up to verse 14, Obadiah was detailing just the sins of Moab, but now there is a change; for verse 15 starts – “The day of the LORD draws near on all the nations.” Here we have passed from one aspect of the Day of the LORD applying just to Moab, and now to the whole world. “All the nations” means just that. Verse 15 continues – “As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head.” This is retribution from the LORD for what Moab did to the Jews. But in the Day of the LORD in the Tribulation, God will certainly judge the nations of the world for what was done to Israel in the past, now, and in the future.

The sense of verse 16 is that the judgment will be strong and permanent. There is going to be a great judgment on the world for what has been done to Israel and the Jews, most severe, in the Day of the LORD. Russia, Iran (part of Gog), and Germany (possibly Gomer) are all named in the Bible, great persecutors of the Jews.

We must consider this great verse – Obadiah 1:17 “but on Mount Zion there will be those who escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.” Just as there were those who escaped from the clutches of Nebuchadnezzar and the Moabites, so too will there be those who will escape from the clutches of Antichrist, and they will be found on Mount Zion. This is the closing verse of Obadiah – Obadiah 1:21 “The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom will be the LORD’S.”

The victors of the preaching of Revelation are found too on Mt Zion with all the nations – types of Moab – defeated: Revelation 14:1 “I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.”

Israel will possess the possessions of the enemy. Zechariah 14:1 “Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.”

In war, in all of human history, the defeated have suffered loss with everything of value taken from them. Maybe the single worst pillaging of people’s possessions was what Germany did to the Jews in WW2. Six million people lost everything. I think something similar will happen in the Tribulation, but God promises this – “and the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.” All that which was taken will be returned to Israel.

There is something else here that may be significant. The land is the possession given to Abraham and thence, the Jews. It is their greatest possession, in fact, because Israel is an earthly people, and this is their entire inheritance. One day it will be theirs, the whole lot of what God promised.

The Day of the LORD will have dark and serious effects for Israel, but the Lord will bring them through. And in the Millennium, they will possess the whole allocation God gave to Abraham.))

Part 6 will follow.
