I'm a little foggy today, but if the Blaze is what you refer to, Glenn Beck is a great guy from a conservative, forward thinking guy warning of genuine risks.
But he is also a Mormon convert from Catholicism, and his idea of end time events is to warn about a bad future ahead that he thinks God will take all of us thru, as he doesn't believe in the Rapture- his eschatology is a little fuzzy and murky and pulls from both Mormon and Catholic teachings, neither of which have a rapture and both of which involved the "good people" being on earth and from the Mormon side, that involves some very hard times which is why they always have 3 years worth of food stocked in their basements.
So I take what he says seriously, but then apply my own knowledge of the rapture and end time events. We take the next exit to the off ramp from this highway to hell that the world (and Glenn) is on.
Thanks Magery for your reply. I use many sources for different purposes. The only way I would look at Beck spiritually is when he last interviewed Voddie Bachum, and how Voddie tried on the sly to sneak the gospel in without contrasting Glenn. But for me, it was far too vague and highlighted having more of an interest for the public in how two men seasoned in media and world events are looking at things. But the ease in which Bachum also gave a pass on gospel distinction to Catholic sympathizer Erick Mataxes (because both men are on the same book deal label) was alarming. Voddie would not see a rapture either. There is a lot that could be said about how social media plays into the general social fabric when Christians come to those shows--like are believers willing to present their views with clarity.. I have e definite convictions on that. But with Glenn as a media reporter, he does look at things that are news worthy. In this case, my most profound reason for providing the video was on a subject matter that was not all that related to Glenns general views on AI, or what it means in the future or what he thinks it means in the future. All of that just came along with the commentary.
The main reason I posted the video was really for the firming up of one point. That AI needs lots of nuclear energy to function at the levels it is coming out as of consequence. And to me, this speaks of two main things: 1) America is seeking AI to servive in the current AI climate, and 2) Going green for the USA was likely as much about decoupling the USA from competitive power. On one level, yes, energy in general (we can't dominant on windmills and solar energy). But more specifically that if we shame America out of the use of nuclear power, we cripple America against China's AI advancement.
There is significant research indicating that a transfer of America power to China is a globalist interest. And with it, a way to dominate world enterprise deposing the constitution and any exetenuating influence it might have on global markets and general humanitarian protection globally. My primary focus as mentioned in the OP was how America's interest to pursue AI has as much to do with normal soveign protections as it might toward aiding and abbedding end times. And because of that specified focus, meant to be a sober point in age of grace consideration and notice. That America pursuing AI and having nuclear power is a reasonable thing for our age of grace under normal non apocolyptic conditions. To that end, Glenn was the only one I noticed offering that kind of distinction. That distinction in that way did not come from Glenn. Rather he explained that as an intro to his concern with AI. Glenn's concern with AI though was not the reason I posted the video. It was only and solely to demonstrated (from a generically reputable reporting source) that AI need nuclear energy to thrive. That America is in grand pursuit of that goal.
When we talk about AI, and especially in the sense Glenn uses it in his video we think of end times. We think of apocalypse. And we think of rapture. But none of those were the focus of why I posted the video. In my intro to the video I do ham it up. Because his video is pretty over the top alarming in subject matter. So I dressed the part and came on stage all end time like to boot. But I clarify why I did that. It was my form of click bait...lol. But this was all upfront in the OP. Not that those issues are not concerning. But I just used the horror angle because that is what Glenn was doing in the video.
I don't use Glenn Beck for discerning end times as per his views of end times. To me his views on that are irrelevant. However, where Glenn is relevant is in updated news sources of revelvance (to the degree they are in that sense). I will note another item in the OP too that does have to do with Glenn and things spiritual. In the OP I noted the term Luciferian Light. This is a view of some watcher camps that refers to all right media and politics as really Luciferian Light in disquise. And that watcher view would see Glenn as Luciferian Light as part of that movement. Although I don't share that view, I understand the concern with Glenn Beck. I try if at all to refer to him sparingly. Kind of like anyone might use Jimmy Dore because of remote subject matter he would cover in the way his show might. So we are kind of stuck with the resources we get kind of thing is how I would look at it in general.
But Glenn himself has made speeches and even allusions to Trump where in his parlance he would be one of those guys that might be open to the consideration of some new age great awekening. This would be much more a Catholic theme than a Mormon theme though. As Mormons will trend toward apocalypse. But Glenn I guess is some form of a hybrid as you have rightly stated dear sister. But all of those sorts of things in my view (the Luciferian Light, the New Age Great Awakening etc.), to me, are kind of pulp fiction. I don't subscribe to any of it. Nor would I seek Glenn out where he might talk about a golden age or America and some Great Awakening. Because those views to me are not accurate renderings of end times. But I would source Glenn on aspects in the news that highlight where I would see views that more so align with my Eschatology.
That may seem like a foggy difference. If so, its not you dear sister. I would only bring to bear on how something fits my eschatology or not within the agreed upon parameters that have been clarified for me in our dear forum. But I am willing to go this far for clearities sake: No one in any religion or any portion of Christendom shares my eschatology exactly. Some seem to mirror. But it would be safe to say that whatever source I use is not to endorse their religious beliefs, ever. Unless I point that out though. This is because mainly on the note of eschatology, no one would fit actually. For clarity's sake, my view is not Glenns view. My view is much more in line with your view dear sister. Our main difference would be the same difference I had with JD on his forum for 4 years. For clarity if you always apply this to any direction I come from, the only time I will deviate from this position is if I publically recant from it. And that is not an absolute impossibility. Or other times too I might entertain alternative perspectives as potentials.
* I believe the age of grace is its own age separate from the tribulation. And even though there may be overlap they are two mutually exclusive stories. Not that the bringing back of Israel does not follow suit in that trajectory. For that is certainly one of the most profound carryovers. But I generally see the age of grace as the closing of the age of grace period. Not the entrance way into the tribulation. Although we do get to the tribulation from and through the age of grace, I believe it is as important to see those ages distinct as it is to see where there may also be carryover.
* No watcher eschatological view will look at end times distinguishing age of grace proper from the tribulation. This is a unique position I hold. The main reason I believe there is a distinction is for the demonstration of God's character before the wrapping up of the age of grace. In my parlance what that looks like is America becomes stronger, Israel becomes stronger and at Ez 38 peace and safety level.
* So it is up until that time that I believe we will likely see a measure of flourishing as well as a collapse of the NWO. And then Ez 38.
* By that I do not mean that I don't see the NWO reemerge. I believe they do in the tribulation. But prior to the tribulation I believe the NWO we know today will collapse. And a resourgence of that will come about in the triublation. Not exactly the same as ours today, but certainly a derivative of it.
Those four bullet points will always be how I am thinking about end times. In that I believe in a pretrib rapture. But I would see that rapture occuring during more good times than bad. Although I believe of course as things get darker we will have both. So generally what I am waiting for is a stronger America to empower Israel to get them to a place where they are not at war. Have more peace. Become stronger. It is at that point I believe the rapture occurs on the eve of Ez 38. That is my pretrib rapture view. Of course not everyone shares it. But I just wanted to clarify that for you because although we may see it differently dear sister where we agree is that yes things get dark along the way too as we see in the word. Lovers of self. COVID psyop etc. Earthquakes, famine, and we have seen wars. So things in general lean toward those symptoms.
The main difference is that what is for the beast system in the tribulation age may not be for us in the age of grace an evil thing. Like Social Security. We have a number. If we decided to affirm this is too much like the beast system and stop all the Social Security checks, I think we would be shooting ourselves in the foot. I would see similar things with bit coin etc. But I am just bringing this up so you have an idea of where I am coming from. Not for you to necessarily agree.
Again though for this videos sake, my view is that things in the age of grace are there own story. Right now since we are not in the tribulation, having nuclear energy and AI capability are good things. In our age of grace world they can be good helpful things and insane things to throw away because it might become the mark of the beast in the triublation. Things in the age of grace to me have their own value because His children are still here. And although there will be overlap, I don't focus on the overlap. Every end time ministry on earth does that. My focus is in what sanity there is with its current day value to us in the age of grace. Not to be naive. But to keep apples apples and oranges oranges for how He minds to use things in the ages He has designed for this world. If that might help. Don't mean to confuse. Sometimes, yeah, have a bit of fun. But not meaning to confuse. Please don't hesitate if I can be more helpful to clarify. Blessings
