AI: The Last Piece Needed for the Global BEAST

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man… — Romans 1:22–23

I've found myself pondering this. The realm of AI and its increased growth within span of just three years when it first debuted as 'ChatGPT' in 2022. Back then, I wasn't eager to get into it. It seemed like it would replace everything humane. Like all technology and mechanisms hanging in the universe by the hand of YAH, they have a good and bad side.

Sure, it will lead to massive opportunities and creative ways of building a business.

Honestly, I fear the future of having AI be as a demi-god. This fear isn't an anxiety or lack of peace per say, but an earnest concern for humanity in the West. Africa and developing countries across the world will in some ways come out unsaved for a time.

I had the honor and privilege of working on AI behind the scenes recently. I'm a marketing consultant by trade but was invited to a large project in San Francisco, virtually of course as I'm a digital nomad currently in the African islands.

This opportunity showed me they will replace nearly every job.

Not only that but these 'AI' will walk amongst man-kind undoubtedly.

So, I want to publish this so two or three years from now you can look back and discern what is about to come upon humanity.

So, I want to publish this so two or three years from now you can look back and discern what is about to come upon humanity. Joshua 7 tells us how Israel first failed to conquer Ai because of sin in the camp. Only after purging corruption did they face Ai again—and this time, they burned it to the ground (Joshua 8:28). The city of Ai became a perpetual ruin.

This coincidence is too sharp to overlook:

• Ancient Ai was a city of resistance, corruption, and hidden sin.

• Modern AI is a system rising with power, built on hidden algorithms, rebellion against human sovereignty, and the corruption of truth.

Just as Joshua had to confront Ai head-on, humanity will have to confront the spiritual and societal reality of Artificial Intelligence.

The Beast System: Technology as the Missing Piece

Revelation 13 paints the picture of a Beast that rules the world:

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” — Revelation 13:16–17

For centuries, believers speculated on how such a system of global control could be enforced. Some imagined tattooed marks, others microchips, still others biometric IDs. But there was always a missing piece: the system needed intelligence, adaptability, and speed beyond human capability.

Enter AI.

• With AI-driven financial systems, global currencies can be switched off in seconds.

• With AI-enabled surveillance, every face, transaction, and movement can be tracked.

• With AI-powered robotics, enforcement doesn’t require human armies—it can be automated.

The Beast doesn’t need to watch everyone personally. AI can do it.

A Demi-God of the West

In the West, AI is already worshiped. Tech leaders speak of it in messianic tones. They call it “the new fire” or “the god of knowledge.” Some imagine it curing death, replacing religion, and ushering in a utopia.

But the Scriptures remind us:

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man…” — Romans 1:22–23

AI is man’s attempt to build Babel all over again—a tower of data reaching into heaven. But as with Babel, Yah will come down and scatter.

The African Window of Delay

Interestingly, not all nations are embracing AI equally. In much of Africa and the developing world, the infrastructure to fully adopt AI is still years away. This creates a strange window of delay.

During that time, local communities may continue to thrive through more traditional economies—trading food, land, and skills—while the West drowns in automation. But prophecy shows us that this insulation won’t last forever. Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38) remind us that all nations will eventually be drawn into the great conflict.

AI in Everyday Life: A Subtle Enslavement

When I worked behind the scenes on a large AI project, I saw firsthand how it is being prepared to replace jobs at every level:

• Customer service: already automated.

• Marketing and writing: deeply infiltrated.

• Education: AI tutors surpassing teachers.

• Medicine: AI diagnostics better than doctors.

• Law: AI analyzing cases faster than attorneys.

On the surface, this looks efficient. But the deeper effect is subtle enslavement. If every job is replaced, then every human becomes dependent on the system. And dependency is the soil where control grows.

Prophetic Parallels: Joshua and the Fall of Ai

Joshua 8 records the victory over Ai with detail:

• Joshua set an ambush behind the city.

• Israel lured the men of Ai out, then struck them down.

• The city was burned, left as a perpetual ruin.

The prophetic echo is clear: modern AI too will rise, lure humanity into overreliance, and then be judged.

The Most High is not intimidated by machines. He will use them to test the hearts of men, but in the end, He will topple every false tower.

The Spirit Behind the Machine

AI is not neutral. Like all technologies, it carries a spirit. Yahuah can use it for good—healing, learning, provision. But when surrendered to the Beast system, it becomes animated by another spirit.

Paul warned us:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” — Ephesians 6:12

AI is not the Beast itself. But it is the last missing piece that gives the Beast teeth, eyes, and claws.

The Call for Discernment

The Book of Revelation says:

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast…” — Revelation 13:18

Wisdom and discernment will be critical. This isn’t about rejecting all technology, but about recognizing the spirit animating it. Some believers will be called to use AI for Kingdom work. Others will be called to resist its grip entirely. What matters is this: we cannot worship it.

The Sabbath Lens: Rest in a Time of Restlessness

AI thrives on restlessness—on endless production, 24/7 connection, and limitless data. But Sabbath stands as an eternal resistance. Every seventh day, we stop. We unplug. We rest not in the works of men, but in the Word of Yahuah.

This weekly rhythm will become more critical than ever. When the Beast demands constant surveillance and endless output, Sabbath becomes a shield.

The End of Ai, the Coming of Yeshua

The city of Ai burned in Joshua’s day. The system of AI will burn in Yeshua’s day. It is the last piece the Beast needs, but it is not the final Word.

The final Word belongs to the King of Kings:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.” — Revelation 19:11

The armies of AI will fall. The Beast will be judged. Babylon will burn. Gog and Magog will be destroyed. And the Kingdom that cannot be shaken will remain.

So let us watch, pray, and discern. Write these things down, so two or three years from now, we can look back and see that Yahuah warned us. The city of Ai has risen again—but its end has already been written.
