Did God Forewarn About The Rapid Increase In Technology And Artificial Intelligence?

By David Bowen for
Harbinger 's daily

I have been teaching about Bible prophecy for almost twenty years. I have been studying Bible prophecy for almost thirty years. Because I have taken such an interest in Bible prophecy, I knew a day would come when technology would increase rapidly and the world would change in ways we only used to imagine. I knew someday we would wake up and see that the things we used to call science fiction were now everyday realities. It’s one thing to know this and another to actually live through it. The day I said would one day come is now here!

Matthew 24:14
I knew from the prophecy of Matthew 24:14 that “the gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come,” would need modern-day technology to be fulfilled. It was a very different world when Jesus spoke this prophecy to His disciples on the Mount of Olives. Communication was limited. Messages were carried by foot, on horseback, or by ship. It took time to get a message out.

I knew the prophecy of Revelation 11:9, where for three and a half days, people, tribes, languages, and nations from around the world would be able to see the lifeless bodies of the Tribulation’s Two Witnesses as they lay dead in the public square. I understood that for that to happen, technology would have to be much more advanced than what we had at the start of the twentieth century. How do people all over the world witness the Two Witnesses’ dead bodies in Jerusalem in real-time? This was impossible in any other age.

Revelation 13:15​

I knew the prophecy of Revelation 13:15 when breath would be allowed to be given to the image of the Beast so that the image of the Beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship it to be slain. I knew this event would lead to the Mark of the Beast, and I understood the technology needed for every financial transaction, which would have to be electronic, would one day be possible.

Understanding these things is one thing, seeing them happening in real life is a completely different perspective. What is happening in our lives today is beyond what I think the prophets of old even imagined. God gave Isaiah, Ezekiel, and the apostle John glimpses into Heaven and into the very throne room of God. They saw things that no one else was able to see. They explained amazing details and created a longing for us to experience all Heaven has for all who believe and look forward to their time in Heaven. But I am not sure if even they comprehended how far technology would go before that glorious day arrived.
