Videos of Sophia have arrived in my email and messenger. If you haven't heard of this latest advancement in technology, I would encourage you to do a bit of research . . . at least Google! This is either the ultimate in distractions or a genuine glimpse into the future. It does appear to be the quintessential definition of what it is, for humanity to "outsmart itself!" In other words, I'm thinking artificial intelligence is the dumbest thing, yet!
A robot that can increase in knowledge and replicate human expression, in my humble opinion; may very well be the Nephelim many self-studied eschatologists are looking for. From what we can understand in Scripture, the Nephelim were larger than life human hybrids. I believe we have a different type of "larger than life" Nephelim amongst us now, with more planned in the near future.
Then there's the medical technology to be introduced into the human body. https://www.nephrologynews.com/implantable-artificial-kidney-developers-partner-home-dialyzors-united/ When I first read of the artificial kidney, I was uneasy, but immediately thought of the number of dialysis centers in any given city and realized this is likely to be a well received idea. Really, though, it's not so ground breaking, as we already have pace makers, artificial knees and hips, rods and screws in bones, and . . . we all loved the Bionic Man in the 70's. Seriously, technical replacement parts for humans have been in the plans for some time now. It would appear to be only a matter of time until humans have inhuman artificial implants and robots are going to college and teaching our kids.
Humans with technological replacement parts and robots with intelligence . . . How long will it be, before we simply won't be able to tell one from the other? From what I'm seeing on social media, medical microchips are coming, but many Bible believers have decided microchips cannot possibly be "the mark of the beast," so it looks like many will be accepting those in the near future. It's quite disconcerting to read some of the comments that have completely "spiritualized" the mark of the beast, regarding a day of worship. The Revelation 13 says it will be used for buying and selling. Buying and selling is physically tangible! I definitely believe religion and health care will be the primary providers of the mark of the beast.
For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall show great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the
very elect. ~ words of Messiah in Matthew 24:24
