And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Introduction
Introduction
I saw a strange article last night that has stirred my spirit. I’m noticing that in a short span of 2-3 years our society has become more and more dependent up AI.
They are now introducing it on our phones, next the computers, it’s taking over all forms of media creating photos, videos, and emulating human voices.
People are using AI to problem solve, write essays, and even sermons.
We are turning everything over to AI at an alarming rate!
We also have Elon Musk introducing advanced robots that he says will people’s personal assistants.
They will also be working in his factories and how long before they are working in other companies factories taking the place of human labor.
We are not realing it but we are seeing AI and where it is going to eventually take up agency in a robotic body and how long before it starts fighting for rights?
And you may think I’m crazy, and I dont’ blame you because AI is being painted as the savior of humanity right before our eyes
It is a problem solver,
I saw an article last night where Microsoft’s AI for the second time has declared itself as God!
And with technology and how dependent we have become upon it how long before AI starts doing things that deemed as not humanly possible?
How long before it declares itself as a being? A supreme being at that.
Do Not Be Deceived
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,
not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.
Do Not Be Deceived
Do Not Be Deceived
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
Do Not Be Forget
Do Not Be Forget
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Falling away comes first
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
The man of sin is revealed
Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.”
Remember
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
They Hate The Truth
and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
They resist
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Salvation is a choice
An intellectual choice
An informed choice
If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
Mankind’s love for sin makes them delusional
Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
Strong Delusion
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
Pharoah greatest example
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; and he did not heed them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses.
His own iniquities entrap the wicked man,
And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
People are trapped by their own sin!
And He said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
And it happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
God turns people over
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.
While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.”
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas!”
But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
If we believe God and stay with His Word we will not be deceived
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
To God our Savior,
Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and power,
Both now and forever.
Amen.
