The Spirit of the Antichrist :: By Jan Markell

Minneapolis saw it in 2020 with George Floyd, and low and behold, that same spirit reigns again in my home town. This time the accused are ICE agents doing their job. And well.

In 2020 I wrote in an E-newsletter like this one, stating, “In the Twin Cities, 1,000 properties have been vandalized, looted, burned, or totally destroyed along with apartments above these businesses and homes.

“Our media shows business owners staring in stunned disbelief as many were reeling from Coronavirus destruction, but now they face the result of rampant anarchy due to George Floyd fall-out. The media adds insult to injury by calling the destruction ‘peaceful protests.’”

Mogadishu on the Mississippi – Can You Imagine?

I said back then that Minneapolis looks like Somalia, and I began calling us “Mogadishu on the Mississippi.” Rep. Ilhan Omar should finally be happy, but she still wails and curses America. She needs to go.

Here We Go Again? How Is This Possible?

Then a few weeks ago, it started all over again. Most Minnesotans are very normal people. They are hard working. Many have Scandinavian roots, and although their homelands were comfortable with Socialism, many of them are not!

Yes, too many vote Democrat, and Minnesota—whose state bird is the loon—produces Democrat politicians who are equal loons. You’ve seen their distorted, weeping faces on the media for weeks. They all cry crocodile tears, and they all love the criminal and hate the poor victims.

One of them almost became Vice President of the United States—Tim Walz. If that doesn’t keep you awake at night, nothing will. 

Somalis Love America. Oh, Really?

But the lunacy of the Minnesota Left goes back to strong delusion of thirty years ago when these same foolish Democrats thought that importing 100,000 East Africans with no education or skills would benefit this state. All they cared about was that these immigrants would vote for every corrupt leftist on the ballot.

The Coming Man of Lawlessness

Two relevant Bible verses read, “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 himself 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” (II Thessalonians 2:3-4).

Again, this occurs during the Tribulation from which the Church is absent. Yet, what we have seen playing out on the streets of Minneapolis is a dress rehearsal, though subdued compared to the lawlessness and turmoil in the Tribulation. It is still setting the stage for the Antichrist.

The Antichrist won’t have to rent-a-mob—and be assured, many rioters are hired guns making good wages. When he reigns, much of the world will be lawless, godless, tumultuous, and confused. Antifa will be the normal! Anti-ICE demonstrations will be mild in comparison.

When People Glory in Chaos

With the restrainer gone, there will be absolutely nothing to hold back the evil, selfishness, and out-of-control behavior! The world can go crazy and will. They will glory in utter chaos. What we have now is a trial run that is a weak fire cracker in comparison. Multiply it by ten or a hundred or a thousand! I’m still embarrassed that my home town is the petri dish!

The good news is that God will consume the Antichrist and his minions at the end of the Tribulation with the brightness of His coming!

Paving the Way for the Coming Regime

Author Terry James writes, “The rage makes clear the existence of the Antichrist spirit in high places that continues to do everything to bring America and the world into the configuration Satan wants to establish for his soon-coming Antichrist platform. At the heart of the minions’ (both human and supernatural) effort is destruction of moral values and norms based on Judeo-Christian precepts/concepts.”

He concludes, “Cultures and societies throughout the world—especially in America—must be altered drastically to pave the way for the coming Antichrist regime.”

Terry James sums it up saying, “Just as we witness the Antichrist spirit surging, we, as born-again believers, should have a surging sense of excitement and comfort. Redemption is near” (Titus 2:13).

Who Needs God in an Age of Artificial Intelligence? :: By Jan Markell

Most people have no idea what’s coming. In fact, what is here now. Very few people comprehend the level of mischief and evil that surrounds what is called artificial intelligence (A.I.). It is paving the way for a robot Messiah.

I wrote an article several years ago about this, but when talking about advancing technology, just a few years is a lifetime. Back in 2018, I began to read that people would even form a church that worshiped an A.I. god.

A Billion Times Smarter Than Humans? Really?

I was learning that he who created and mastered A.I. would rule the world. That sounds very Antichrist-esque. Imagine such evil in the hands of ultimate evil? What a convenient tool to run the Antichrist’s last days’ empire. Just as the Nazis needed the IBM punch card system, the “man of sin” will need the genius of artificial intelligence.

I began watching some online videos of A.I. robots who look human and who “think.” They answer questions and seem to process real thoughts. By now, we have all learned of the robot Sophia. This A.I.-driven monster is attractive, clothed, looks you in the eye, and answers your questions.

She can be your friend, companion, problem solver, and perhaps someday, your spouse. At the very least, she will run your errands and put away your groceries. In the wrong hands, she will be dangerous.

Developers say these A.I. robots will solve all of society’s problems. These men also say that they believe that it is possible for artificial intelligence to be a billion times smarter than humans. Try to process that. To be honest, I am puzzled why God would even allow that, and it may be one reason He nearly destroys the earth before His Second Coming.

Are We Summoning Demons?

Many are warning that with A.I., we are playing with fire and that in the end, machines will win! Others say we are summoning up demons.

Most recently, I am learning that people are going to talk to the dead through A.I. “griefbots.” It just doesn’t get any stranger.

A new report reveals how artificial intelligence programs will advise terrorists how to attack a sports venue, buy nuclear material on the dark web, buy spyware, bombs, and more. Jihadists will use A.I. to plan attacks and map targets. Who could have envisioned this back on 9/11? We’ve come a long way, sadly.

Talk about the abuse of power.

A.I. Is Actively Watching and Listening

Maybe this new religion isn’t the promise of paradise after all. Some promoting A.I. are evangelists, and some of them offer a new Promised Land. But some of the very movers and shakers of the artificial intelligence industry are sounding serious warnings.

And this is not the wave of the future today, as it is all being employed now! Outfits like Google have every bit of information on us they need. They have all our vitals and can weaponize such information in this age of A.I. Google admits that they want to be like the mind of God and suggests they will be “godlike” as they grab bundles of data from us. It is watching us and listening to us.

There is a “home invasion” going on by the world of technology and A.I. If you think you have any privacy, think again. To say we are being monitored is not sensationalism. It is not kooky conspiracy language. Don’t brush this off as silliness. Welcome to the brave new world.

Who Needs God in an Age of Artificial Intelligence?

Young people are particularly drawn to artificial intelligence. Some of them will tell you that they can get an answer more quickly from a search engine or Alexa than they can get from God. Who needs God in an age of artificial intelligence? A.I. is almost all-knowing. And these technologies will tell you what you want to hear in technicolor, 3-D, and in an instant.

Very likely, A.I. will manage the Antichrist agenda, such as all buying and selling. Mankind will almost become a useful idiot of this kind of last days’ technology. People will think God has been outsmarted. Deception will rule. All of this gives new meaning to the term “big brother.”

Younger people are cheering for these technological advancements. They are falling into a terrible trap if they do not have a biblical worldview. They are welcoming evil with open arms. Once they figure this out, it will be too late.

A.I. Is Fearfully Fraudulent

But remember, A.I. cannot speak anything into existence or give anyone eternal life. It cannot give anyone comfort, guidance, or offer anyone peace or hope. It cannot still the wind or calm the sea. It is more like Frankenstein than like God. It is trying to be like God but will fall far short! We are fearfully and wonderfully made. A.I. is fearfully fraudulent.

Another End Times Accelerant

There is no way a computer can do anything but copy what it has been taught, and there is something about the human spirit that can never be created by a machine. Yet, I agree with Dr. Mark Hitchcock, who says that artificial intelligence is a major “end times accelerant.”

Like the re-birth of Israel, it is a profound end-time marker. It would behoove every Christian to better understand it and its last days role. We can’t stop this train. We can pray for the rapture of believers, which will remove us from this Alice in Wonderland, bizarre, invasive world.

Stay ahead of the game and become informed. Events of the Tribulation are casting a shadow today. The shout and the trumpet are close. He is coming soon!

When the Wisdom of the Creator Rules!

God sits in the Heavens and laughs at these people (Psalm 2). He has the final say. He has the last word! The Bible says God will crush the agenda of the Antichrist and rule the world from Jerusalem for one thousand years. During that time, there will be no need for artificial intelligence. We will have the wisdom of the creator of the universe in charge.
