Global Crisis and Rise of Antichrist

Review from ‘mark of beast’ video: Religion teaches that salvation depends on your choice, your obedience, your faith. But Scripture teaches that Christ is enough—and not just for you, but for all.

Let go of religion. Let go of effort. Let go of fear. And behold the glory of a Savior who needs no help.

“For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified. Yet each in his own class… thereupon the consummation… that God may be All in all.”
—1 Corinthians 15:22–28

When Christ has finished His work—and He will—there will be no more religion, no more separation, and no more law. Only God. All in all.

Bottom Line:
If you know you are saved solely by Christ’s finished work on the cross—and that no one can take it away, not you, not your pastor, not the antichrist, not the law-keepers, not anyone—then you won’t bow to any law or religious system that claims to offer salvation. Why would you? You already know salvation is complete in Christ.

But those trapped in the delusion that salvation depends on their own law-keeping will be the first to bow to the antichrist’s demands. When you think your works secure you, you’re vulnerable to any counterfeit that promises “God’s approval” in exchange for obedience. True faith in Christ’s finished work is the only safeguard against that deception.

Introduction: Technology, Deception, and the Stage for AI

When Paul warned that in the last days people would “turn away their ears from the truth and turn aside to myths” (2 Timothy 4:4), he wasn’t speaking of a primitive world with little distraction. He was speaking prophetically of an age just like ours—an age saturated with screens, devices, and voices competing for our faith.

Television, cell phones, and video games didn’t just entertain; they prepared the world for the next stage of deception. Parents criticize their kids for “too much screen time,” but the truth is this culture pushed it on them by design. In order to succeed socially or economically today, young people must be fluent in computers, smartphones, and online communication.

Think of it: how would a teenager today function without a phone, without social media, without constant digital connection? Society has made it nearly impossible. We may “unplug” for a while, but always must “re-plug” to keep pace. This is not random—it is deliberate conditioning.

Even my own kids, both teenagers, often tell me how much freer life must have been in the 1980s and 1990s. I tell them how, after school, we’d roam the neighborhood, play sports, and return home at sunset—no phone, no internet, no constant tether. Just freedom. Even kids today know instinctively that life was better then. Technology promised connection but delivered dependence. It promised freedom but delivered chains.

And all of this is preparation for the final stage: artificial intelligence.


The Rapture and the Power That Must Be Explained

My view of the rapture hasn’t changed: the body of Christ will be snatched away before the final seven years when Christ returns to rule through Israel. Jesus said, Paul declared, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye… the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52).

But here is the reality—most people who call themselves Christians will not be taken. Why? Because they don’t trust Christ’s finished work on the cross. They believe in free will, law, or obedience as if their salvation depends on themselves. Scripture says, “If it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace” (Romans 11:6). Those who deny this are not resting in Christ but in themselves.

So when the rapture happens, it will not be millions disappearing—more likely thousands. Missing people don’t need an explanation; they go missing every day. What will need to be explained is the power behind the event.

Remember when the glorified Christ appeared to Saul on the Damascus road? Saul fell blinded to the ground, and his companions heard the sound (Acts 9:3–7). When Christ pierces the skies again, raising the dead and transforming the living, it will be instantaneous—but not silent. The sheer power of that moment may cause global disruption. The Shroud of Turin itself may bear witness to a similar burst of radiation at the moment of Jesus’ resurrection (Matthew 28:2–4).

I believe the rapture will unleash an EMP-like disruption, crippling global communication and power systems. Governments will not waste such an opportunity. They will assign blame—Russia, China, nuclear attack, solar flare. But the deeper explanation will prepare the world for the next phase: a false “alien” narrative and the rise of artificial intelligence.


The Alien Lie and the Ancient Demons

Space, as we’ve been taught, has been shaped to disprove God and prepare people to believe in “aliens.” But scripture is clear: the so-called “gods” of the nations are demonic (Deuteronomy 32:17; Psalm 106:37). What the world will call “space brothers” or “advanced civilizations” are nothing more than the same spirits Israel bowed down to in the Old Testament.

The world already trusts its actors—politicians, scientists, celebrities. Neil deGrasse Tyson preaches “science without God.” Politicians like Zelensky, Trump, and others play roles on the world stage. People believe not because of truth, but because of repetition. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).

Ten years ago, talk of “aliens” was laughed at. Now people who once mocked it are convinced—because television, social media, and cultural influencers told them so. This blind trust in popular voices explains why the world embraced masks, vaccines, social justice trends, and whatever the narrative of the day demanded. They follow the herd. They follow the actors. They follow what is popular.

Jesus Himself was made “popular” in the same way—repackaged into a false Christ who demands human effort to complete salvation. But the real Jesus is not mainstream. The real Jesus is despised because He alone accomplished salvation for all at the cross, without man’s contribution (John 19:30; Colossians 1:20).


The Coming Deception

This is exactly why people will fall for the great deception. Paul warned:

“The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9–10)

Artificial intelligence and technologies like Project Blue Beam will provide the images, voices, and “proof” needed to sell the world on the lie. The stage is already set. And when the rapture shakes the world, AI will step forward as the perfect tool to explain away the power of God and usher in the worship of the beast.

Before I get into AI, Let me review a few things on the formation of the beast system.

The Coming Global Crisis and the Rise of Antichrist

The Stage for One-World Government

For the Antichrist and a one-world government to rise, the world first must face a catastrophe so severe that nations will cry out for unity. It could be world war, nuclear devastation, climate collapse, an asteroid strike, an alien deception, mega-volcano, EMP, solar flare, economic crash, or even an internet shutdown. History shows that fear and chaos are the tools of control.

At first, systems like ICE raids or National Guard deployments seem righteous—meant to stop crime and restore order. But once that power structure is in place, it can easily be turned against anyone labeled a “threat.” Dissidents, truth-tellers, and those who resist the system will be rebranded as enemies of peace.

This is the blueprint of the beast system:

  • Problem → A global crisis
  • Reaction → Humanity cries out for help
  • Solution → A counterfeit savior who promises peace and safety

When the Antichrist steps in, people will want him. They will cheer his arrival, believing he is the answer. But once his mask is removed, the world will see the true face of evil—and for most, it will be too late.


How to Spot the True Christ

Scripture gives us the dividing line between Christ and the counterfeit.

At the rapture, Paul writes:

“We shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” (1 Corinthians 15:51–52)

The true Christ is defined not by what we do, but by what He does. He saves. He transforms. He redeems.

The false Christ—the Antichrist—will flip this. He will demand your works, allegiance, and choice. His system is always about what you must do to be worthy. But the true gospel declares:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9)

At the rapture, the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the tomb (Ephesians 1:19–20) will burst forth again—not in one man in one location, but in thousands of believers across the world. Both the living and the dead in Christ will be caught up. This event will cause global panic. Governments will scramble to explain it—blaming aliens, solar flares, or cosmic anomalies. But the Scriptures will already have revealed the truth: Christ has taken His own.


The Lesson for Those Left Behind

Many “Christians” today still cling to the Israel mindset of performing for God—to free will, eternal torment, and a false picture of Christ. When the rapture occurs, their false doctrines will collapse in a moment. It is possible that many will finally see salvation for what it is: Christ alone, the Savior of all.

Some will refuse the Antichrist’s lies, endure persecution, and become martyrs. Others will survive the tribulation and enter the Millennial Kingdom. Either way, the rapture will force the world to confront the difference between God’s plan of grace and Satan’s counterfeit of earning life by human effort.


A Call to Discernment

We are already watching the stage being set. Systems of control are being built under the banner of “safety.” Global crises are mounting. Fear is rising.

The question is: when the counterfeit comes, will you recognize him?

  • The real Christ saves by His power.
  • The false Christ enslaves by demanding yours.

Do not be deceived. The beast system will be welcomed by the world—but Christ will come for His own in power and glory. And when He does, there will be no mistaking Him.

How Could the Antichrist Use Artificial Intelligence?

Introduction: A New World, a New Tool The Bible doesn’t mention artificial intelligence by name, but it warns us of a time when a global leader—known as the Antichrist—will rise to power with deception, control, and false miracles (2 Thessalonians 2:9–10). As AI evolves and becomes embedded in every part of society, many are asking: Could this technology become one of the Antichrist’s most powerful tools?

The answer is yes. While AI is not inherently evil, in the wrong hands—particularly those of a tyrannical global ruler—it could be used to manipulate, dominate, and spiritually deceive billions.


1. Global Surveillance and Economic Control Revelation 13:16–17 describes a world where no one can buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast. Until recently, this may have seemed impossible. But now, with facial recognition, digital IDs, biometric data, and centralized financial tracking, the technology exists to make this a reality.

AI would serve as the brain behind such a system:

  • Facial recognition software could identify people instantly in public spaces.
  • AI-linked digital wallets could track all transactions, monitor behavior, and cut off access for non-compliance.
  • Smart cities could become surveillance zones, where citizens are watched and rated in real time.

This isn’t sci-fi anymore. It’s happening in parts of the world already. China’s social credit system, for example, punishes citizens for things like criticizing the government online or jaywalking—and it’s run by AI.


2. False Miracles and Deceptive Signs 2 Thessalonians 2:9 says the Antichrist will use “all power and signs and lying wonders.” In a time when deepfake videos, holograms, augmented reality, and AI-generated speech are convincing even the experts, it’s not hard to imagine how this verse could be fulfilled technologically.

  • AI can create hyper-realistic videos of political leaders, religious figures, or even simulated appearances of Jesus or angels.
  • Holographic projections and coordinated drone shows could simulate miracles to fool the masses.
  • Voice cloning software can imitate anyone’s voice, even creating speeches or prayers that never happened.

People may see these false wonders and believe the Antichrist possesses divine power.


3. AI-Powered Global Propaganda In the age of social media, attention is the new currency. Platforms already use AI to shape what we see and believe. Under the Antichrist, these tools could be harnessed to enforce loyalty and erase dissent.

  • AI could tailor propaganda to each person, based on emotional analysis and behavior tracking.
  • Newsfeeds could be flooded with pro-Antichrist narratives, erasing truth from public memory.
  • Digital censorship could be absolute, eliminating any voice that challenges the regime.

The tools already exist—ChatGPT, predictive algorithms, TikTok, YouTube. Imagine them all directed toward one message: Worship the beast.


4. The Image of the Beast: A Sentient AI? Revelation 13:15 says that the false prophet will give breath to an “image of the beast,” so that it can speak and even cause those who refuse to worship it to be killed. What could this “image” be?

Some scholars suggest it could be a powerful AI—an artificial entity designed to mimic life and enforce worship of the Antichrist.

  • AI avatars or robotic figures could appear on screens globally, speaking with authority.
  • This image could monitor public loyalty through smart devices, cameras, and biometrics.
  • Those who do not show allegiance could be identified and punished.

This would make the image of the beast an interactive, living false god powered by AI.


5. Behavior Scoring and Digital Obedience Imagine a global digital system where every human action is recorded, scored, and rewarded or punished. AI makes this not only possible, but increasingly likely.

  • Rewards: Access to jobs, housing, travel, or digital currency.
  • Punishments: Isolation, account freezing, or even imprisonment.
  • Compliance: Worship the beast and score high; resist, and lose everything.

It’s a spiritual loyalty test enforced through a technological dictatorship. This mirrors Revelation 13’s warning perfectly.


6. A Counterfeit God in a Digital World The ultimate goal of the Antichrist is not just political power, but spiritual dominance. He wants to replace God in the hearts of people.

AI could assist in this by offering a counterfeit form of wisdom, companionship, and authority:

  • People already ask AI for life advice, therapy, and meaning.
  • AI chatbots may soon speak with the “voice of god” to billions.
  • The masses may grow more dependent on machines than on Scripture.

This creates a dangerous environment where the Antichrist could pose as humanity’s savior, using AI to communicate, manipulate, and control.


Conclusion: The Cross vs. the Code AI is not evil on its own. It’s a tool. But in the hands of a global deceiver like the Antichrist, it could become a powerful weapon of global surveillance, spiritual deception, and totalitarian control.

But here’s the truth that AI can never change: Jesus Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33). The cross, not code, is our hope. While technology advances and the stage for end-time prophecy continues to unfold, believers must remain rooted in the unchanging truth of God’s Word.

We are not called to fear the rise of AI, but to discern the times, resist deception, and point others to the One who holds all true power—not in machines, but in Himself.
