From all alarms, leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms, leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms, leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. Praise the Lord, brothers and sisters. And we'll be starting our service, and I'll read from John, chapter ten, verse eleven, and it says, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." And in John ten fourteen, it also says, "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." Jesus Christ is our shepherd. He is the one who looks after us. He is the one who sees every part of our lives. He sees when a little piece of the hair from our scalp falls. He sees every little heartbeat that goes through our body. Jesus Christ, he is our good shepherd, and we know that we can rely on him because there is no other. There is only one God, and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And with that being said, brothers and sisters, let's stand up and pray for this service. Lord God, we thank you so much for this beautiful morning that you've given us, Lord. We thank you for this opportunity that you've given us, that we're able to come to this building, Lord, and worship your mighty and holy name, Lord. We thank you that you are our good shepherd, Lord, and that you shed your blood on the cross for us, Lord. We thank you that you never leave us, Lord, and you leave the ninety-nine sheep to come after that one lost one, Lord. And we pray and we ask God bless the service, Lord. Bless the singing, bless the preaching, Lord. May be nourishing to our bodies. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. And we will be singing. He is exalted. He is exalted, the King is exalted on high. I will praise Him. He is exalted forever, exalted, and I will praise His name. He is the Lord; forever His truth shall reign. Heaven and earth. Rejoice in His holy name. He is exalted. The King is exalted on high. He is exalted. The King is exalted on high. I will praise Him. He is exalted forever. Exalted and I will praise His name. He is the Lord. Forever His truth shall reign. Heaven. Heaven and earth rejoice in His holy name. He is exalted, the King is exalted on high. He is the Lord; forever His truth shall reign. Heaven and earth rejoice in His holy name. He is exalted, the King is exalted on high. He is exalted, the King is exalted on high. And for our second song, we'll be singing, "Are you washed?" Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you truly trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you? In the blood, in the blood, in the soul, cleansing blood of the lamb. Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin and be washed in the blood of the lamb. There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean. Oh, be washed in the blood of the lamb. Are you washed in the blood? In the blood, in the soul cleansing blood of the lamb. Are your garments spotless? Are they whiter? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? So I'm glad, morning, when this life is over, I'll fly away to a home of God, to a shore I'll fly away. I'll fly away, oh glory! I'll fly away. When I die, hallelujah, bye and bye. I'll fly away. I'll fly away, oh glory! I'll fly away. When I die, hallelujah, bye and bye. I'll fly away. Grace, God. Praise God, Church. I'm happy to see everybody this morning, and we are continuing our podcast series on the last days, the AI six six six, the beast, and the Antichrist. This will be already the second part. But before we go into that, usually in these series, we want to give the most we can to our speakers. So we'll. Will be doing that, and I would like to call up the Sunday school. We're going to pray for our Sunday school students so they can head out to Sunday school. So please come up, and I will be reading from Proverbs sixteen or sixteen sixteen. Proverbs sixteen sixteen. How much better to get wisdom than gold, and to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. How much better to get wisdom than gold? We see that a lot of the times, and maybe we know stories, and maybe with us, or maybe we heard someone that money corrupts people, and it's not the answer to your problems. It's not that. Answer, we know that wisdom is better. Wisdom is given from God because it says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." And when we fear God in our life, then that is when the wisdom shows throughout our day. And we're going to pray that the students. Our Sunday School students and teachers, as well as us today, may we accept the words of God into our hearts and into our lives, that it can reflect the image of Christ to those around us. Because it's not money that can save the broken, but it's Christ. It's Christ, and let's all stand up and pray. Lord God, we thank you, God, for these words that you put in the scriptures, Lord. That we should seek wisdom, and wisdom is the fear of you, Lord God. Help us, Lord. Everything that's going to be spoken this morning, Lord God, that your word, Lord, it produces fruit in our life, Lord. Guide us, guide us, and teach us all truths, Lord God, and bless each person here, Lord. May we open up our hearts, our ears, and our minds to what's going to be spoken this morning. May your name be praised and glorified in Jesus' name. We pray, Amen. And while we set up, we just ask to open up to Revelation 13. There's Bibles here for those that don't have it. I'll just ask some guys to to help us out to set up. Thank you. That'll be Revelation chapter 13. That's the last book in the Bible. So there's just gonna be three chairs. Our speakers, to take their seats. And Jacob, if you can get Revelation 13, I think it's from minute 41, 42. The revelation of Jesus. Okay. So I connected to to the gym. We can get the slideshow. Going. Okay, so those who were here last week, we we began our topic of the last days. Right now, there's a lot of events happening, and a lot of people are wondering what's going on. What's going on? But what we see is that the Bible actually gives us a scoop of what's going on, and it tells us that don't be surprised when you see. Or hear these things, while the people in this world they're panicking. But for a believer who reads his word, the word of God, we see that Jesus already foretells this way ahead of time. And on top of that, he also speaks through John, and John writes, or to John, and John writes about the last days. Are we going to have the slideshow working, or, or should I? But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman; the earth opened its mouth and swallowed her. This is chapter twelve. And would you thirteen, please? That's forty-one minute forty. One forty-two. Sorry, guys. So while they're they're trying to get that up, I'll just recap of last week. We talked about who the Antichrist is going to be, and if we remember. Brother Ben and Pastor Henry, they were saying that he was going to come from the times of hardships. He was going to be born in the time of where everything is going wrong in this world, and he's going to be the one who is going to bring the solution to all the problems that the world is facing. And then on top of that, how in Revelation chapter twelve and thirteen, like it talks about like in another. Places that talks about he will be given free things, so so people would bow to him. So we talked about that. If you guys ever want to go back, you guys can just listen to the last week's topic. It's at ms church. That's our website ms church, and you can just listen to the topic from last week. Okay, let's begin Revelation. Then I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw beasts rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard; his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marvelled and followed the beast. So they worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worshipped the beast. Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty two months. Then he opened his mouth and blasphemed against God, to blaspheme his name, his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity. He who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth, and those who dwell in it, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, that no one may buy or sell except the one who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six, six, six. Okay. Well, that's more exciting of a version than me reading it up here. But over here we see in Revelation chapter 13, Jesus is showing John this image of a beast, and he is warning John what this beast is. And where it's coming from, what it's going to require, and what its number is. So we have our speakers here, and the first question. There's a lot going on in this chapter, but the first question: Who is the beast, and what is what does his number six six six mean? So yeah, let's go with Pastor Henry. Yeah, well, that's a very big question. Who is the best beast? First part, it's not that difficult. It's gonna be a man, and I believe it's gonna be a political persona who will be able to resolve the peace in the Middle East, and that's how everyone will accept him as. A leader of the world, and as we just read in Revelation, that actually it talks about the beast that he saw. It had the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, and a mouth of a like a lion. So by that time, and we know from the Scripture that the representation of those. Beasts, there are the empires of this world, and in Daniel we read that those empires, they're different empires. Like a lion, it's one empire; bear, it's the other empire; and leopard is the third empire. But when the beast comes, that person, the Antichrist, somehow those three empires that in fight with each other at this time, they will combine into one, and he will rule over those three empires as one leader. And he is the man that everyone chose to be the world leader. And the last second part of a question: six six six. What is that mark? And I believe any explanation right now, it strictly will be an assumption, because the six six six will be given to understand only to those people who live at that time. And if you are wise, you will be able to understand that number. But before that number comes, any of our explanation will be a strict assumption, and we can pretty much talk about it. But still, it's not given to us yet. It's only when the right time comes, then that number will be revealed to the wise. And I believe wise it's those who walk before God. God will give them an understanding of this number. And don't know what it is. Ben, please. And I think we touched upon this question a little bit last time: who is the beast, or who is the antichrist? Because so, let me ask you this: is the antichrist also the beast? Because Pastor Henry said, and well, make it clear. According to Revelation thirteen, it is connecting. The beast with the name, or Antichrist. So, in that regard, I mean, even though we understand Antichrist, and the Bible does tell us that there were many Antichrists, you know, before the Antichrist as a person who is supposed to come on this earth. But the difference is, I think, over here is is that this particular Antichrist, who is going to come before the coming of the Lord, he is going to be identified with the number six. Six, six, six, and all of the antichrists before this one, they were not identified with anything. They were just, you know, people who were rebellious against God and who had false teachings and things like that, and therefore they were counted as as antichrists, so to speak. But this one in particular, he will be identified with the number six, six, six, and this is why the Bible it specifically says, whoever is wise, let him calculate the number of the. Beast, of course, like we've you know discussed previously, you know Antichrist would be a political figure, but he will also be you know a religious figure in a way because he will demand worship to himself, and he will be part of this entire system, global system where he will unite all of the kingdoms of the world under under himself, under his rule, and this is why you know the Revelations when it describes as Henry. Mentioned, you know, the leopard, the bear, and the lion. Currently, those are two, you know, three separate kingdoms. We we can say, you know, lion can represent the British Empire, and leopard can represent the German Empire, and the bear represents the the Russian Empire. But those three empires, they're always at war with each other. And so, when Antichrist comes, he will be able to unite those three kingdoms, which are which have been historically great kingdoms, you know, throughout history for two thousand years. Or so, and so he will be able to unite them under one rule, and this is what will make his kingdom different and more ferocious and more evil than you know all of the empires that existed before him. And so, and and you know the number six six six obviously it's a difficult number. It's it isn't something we can crack. There have been people throughout history who have tried to crack this number and to sort of point it or connect it to some person and say, "Well, this guy is the beast because his name—you know—if you calculate the letters of his name, they somehow they calculate to six six six, and therefore this guy must be the real antichrist." And throughout history, many people have tried to do. Recently, for example, someone calculated the name of Bill Gates, and they said, "Well." If you, you know, add up all of those letters, his his name, you know, it it basically calculates to number six six six, and so people, you know, are scared of that guy, and they're trying to follow like everything that he does, and so people do this. They try to calculate the name of the beast, but but there's difficulty in it because I don't think that. Time has come yet, and that is why for us to worry about what this six six six is and try to you know flip every rock and find the number six six six under it and and to connect it to something, I think there could be an error in that. Okay. Well, since since I guess we're not here to to calculate the number because how we heard from the speaker. We just it could be assumptions, but what what in your maybe understanding does it mean that without this this chip without this number the number of the beast and the chip that is going to be put on the forehead or on the hand that nobody can buy or sell. So, like, how does this work? Or, so, I mean, we do see right here in a scripture. Everyone just kind of they mingle together. Number six, six. The mark of the beast. The beast. And, but if we, as as we read in Revelation chapter thirteen, verse eighteen, here is the wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast. For the number of the that is of man. Actually, do you wanna? Yes, seventeen actually. Seventeen. So, one who has the mark, and and that's the verse you're talking about. No one will be able to buy or sell except the one who has the mark. That's one. Either the name of the beast. That's another. Or the number of his name. So those three separate things, and we can see either the mark, the name of the beast, or actually they worship the beast himself, and also we read the image of the beast as well. And so, as as you've talked about the mark, I do believe it's going to be some kind of visible mark, or maybe not so much visible, but you can detect it. And it's written very clearly in the Bible that it's going to be on the right hand, and on the forehead. So that's the mark. The, but, not necessarily only the mark. You also have to worship the beast. No one can actually catch you and just put a mark, and now that's it. You marked by the beast. First, you have to worship the name of the beast. You have to worship his image. That's another thing to discuss. What is the image of the beast? Beast, and then a mark, and and already as a question was: is that what is the mark? And I believe that mark, it would be something, could be a chip or something similar to that. That will be placed either on the right hand or on the forehead. And when it says right hand and a forehead, I believe it's a literal hand and a forehead, and not a metaphoric description. Well, I guess since you already mentioned the image, what does that mean? Like to worship the image, and maybe Ben can step in or Henry. Well, to worship the image, when we read the Revelation thirteen, the image comes after the second beast. Comes out of the right, and it was the the guy, the prophet, the false prophet, who will deceive the earth in order for people to worship the beast. Right? Because the beast in the first in the first half of his reign, or however we want to put it, he will have some success, and then he will be wounded. We write, and and and perhaps at that moment people will realize, well, this guy is not as As divine as we've thought, because he has this deadly wound, he's just a merely a man just like us. But when his wound heals and the false prophet starts to, you know, tell people this guy is divine, look at him, he's God on earth. Look, his wound has healed. Then they will erect an image of the. Beast, and at that moment, and and what this image is, we know from the Old Testament, idols were were considered images that people worshipped. But idols, the difference is with the idols. Idol could neither see or hear or talk. An idol is just an image, a static image of something that people would look at and they would worship it. And God, of course, said to the people, "This idol worship, he he hates it, and he told people to worship only the living God." But in Revelation, we read to this image, you know, a spirit would be given. So this idol worship, where this idol, this image, will be a little bit different from the those images or those idols that people used to worship, which were nothing more than than a piece of wood or or an image of something. But this particular image, it will be a spirit would be given to it, and for the world it would seem like this thing is alive in some form. And how it it would happen, you know, it's it's hard to say. But it it will be much different from from the idols that exist in the world today, which cannot hear, see, think, or do any of these things. The idol that people worship, which will be connected to to the beast himself, because it will be the image of the beast. You know the people will worship it. It's going to be something different. And in a way, you know, the Bible, when it talks about us, it says that we are the images of God in some way. So we reflect God in some way. But we are not just, you know, we reflect God in the way we live, in the way we we speak, in the way we behave, carrying the name of the Lord. And this idol, this image, it will have something something similar to that. So, well, the way I see the image of the beast, and and I do want to read from the scripture Revelation chapter fifteen and verse two, that those who defeated the beast, and it says right here, victory over beast and over his image. So it's those who had victory over the beast and over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name stand on the sea. So we can see they had the victory over the beast. Then, the people of God who had the victory over the beast, over his image, and over the mark and over the number. So here I actually understand that AI will play a big role in Antichrist. Ruling, so Antichrist is a persona. But not everyone has an access to Antichrist, and when people think of Antichrist, they think it's something extremely smart. It's a person like a maybe almost someone would talk to the God himself, but not everyone has access to him. So now they will make an image of Antichrist. That if you would speak to it, it's almost like you spoke to the Antichrist himself. It's almost like an Antichrist given advice. But to that image, everyone will have access. And I think that's the and which right now people talking about creating an AI god, which is I think it will be in some way people will stop worship AI god. But Antichrist will use AI where it's gonna represent Antichrist. And when everyone has a question to an antichrist, get a very wise answer to the question. It's like antichrist talking to you, and so that's why I think there's going to be antichrist, and then AI will be his image. Through the AI. Is just at the end that image, which is image of Antichrist, will be given to it a spirit that it will talk like a person himself, and so that's where I do wanna can bring AI or the new technology that Antichrist will use as a tool for his ruling, and why I come to this understanding because Satan he tried to represent God himself, yeah, or imitate. So the dragon is a Satan himself, imitating God the Father. The Antichrist is. Wanna say that I'm a like like Christ, but he's not going to be a religious figure. He's going to be political that brings the peace. And now, how do we have access to Christ? It's through the Holy Spirit. Everyone on the earth can have access through the Holy Spirit. Now, the Satan and the Beast will have this AI option that everyone on the earth will have the access to him at the same time. You don't need to have an appointment to Antichrist himself. You will have that his image that everyone will be able to consult too. And so they try to also imitate that Trinity in a way. That's how I see the image of Antichrist. Yeah, and it's interesting when you were saying that that everyone will have access, and with this Starlink technology, and also other countries also have this similar to Starlink, to where people in remote areas that would never been able to get internet all of a sudden are getting internet, and on top of that, it's it's pretty interesting. It's almost like they have a plan, which I think they do. But there were these Starlink terminals given to a village in Brazil, and those people had no internet, no phones, and they gave them Starlink. And on top of that, they gave them free phones. Free phones, and you're just wondering, like, like who cares? You know, it's like these people and their like Indians running around. You know, like who cares? No, they still put terminals there and gave them free technology. So, so now it's kind of starting to make sense that everyone, even people in areas that don't even have access to it, will now have access to this so-called image of the beast. Yeah, go ahead. I want to say to this that when we're talking about and you know the mark of the beast, the name of the beast, and the number of the beast, or the Number of his name. Those are the three things. One of the three things that a person needs in order for him to participate in the commerce. Which means that not every person on earth is going to be stapled with a chip. You know, maybe in a civilized world, in in the in the third world or the first world in which we live, you know, that are that is technologically advanced with AI, you know, governing societies and things like that. People will be, you know, stapled or marked in some. Way, but when we're talking about indigenous people, I mean it's hard for me to see, you know, some police force going into these jungles and trying to round up people and then force them to accept the mark. And they're like, we don't even understand what's going on, and so, and so for for them it's going to be difficult. So maybe for them all you need is the for them to worship the name of the. Beast, like acknowledge this this person. So, so I see those three scenarios. So, not every single person will be stapled with a chip. So, if you think that the only thing I need to do is to you know figure out what that what that mark is, and all I have to do is just to avoid it, and I will be safe. Well, this this is not how it's going to happen. I do want to say that you know even though we're talking about technology and the the role it will play. In the kingdom of the beast during Antichrist, but it is not actually what will set the events that we read in Revelation 13. When we read the Scripture, it's not the technology that will create these circumstances. I mean, Jesus Christ is very clear on what will bring about these circumstances. Circumstances, and he talks about these several things. He talks about the lawlessness or iniquity. Iniquity and lawlessness is what is what's going to bring it. Jesus Christ talks about that the love of many will grow cold, and this specifically talks about that apostate church. It's not talking about the world. The world already does not have any love for Christ or God. They because they live in darkness, but this is talking about the conditions that are going to be in the church. There's going to be lawlessness. There's going to be the love will will grow cold, and the third thing that's going to happen is that many people will lose will lose faith in God. Faithful faithlessness is what's going to happen. Those are the factors. Those are the conditions that will bring about the mark of the beast that will bring about the Revelation thirteen events that that we're talking about and discussing today. But I want to say, of course, that technology will sort of. You know, provide the infrastructure for control. It will provide that support and help Antichrist into sort of building up his kingdom and make it stronger. Obviously, I think I think there's no arguing about that because it's hard for us to imagine when we read Revelation 13, like many of the things that we're discussing, how it's possible without. Technology. I mean, we live in a time when how do you how do you connect people? How do you spread your message? You know, without you know without technology, being playing a pivotal role. Of course, it's really hard. And for for people that lived in in you know a hundred years ago, for them, when they were reading Revelation, it was like hard. How is it possible for people to see the beast at the same time? Of course, it's not possible. But today, it is possible because of technology. Yeah. And so, I guess. The can we agree, or maybe you guys can share? But the beast, or the the Antichrist, is that an individual being or person, or is that already like a the government, or could it be technology? How we spoke about, or is it like an actual figure? The answer to this question is yes. It's all above. When Bible talk about the beast, of course, it's also. Represented by some kind of empire, always an empire has an emperor, so it always will have a persona that's gonna be a head. And as we talked about right now, is that it's just the antichrist will use technology to his advantage. So it's it's gonna be a persona that's gonna also use technology as his tool. But it's gotta be a person. And I do agree with Brother Ben that so that. Technology itself, I do not believe that's the beast. That's the main beast because technology itself does not enhance or prohibit the coming of Antichrist, as we read in Second Thessalonian that there is who right here for the mystery of lovelessness is already at work. Only he who not who now restrains will do so until he is taken out. Of the way, so there is something that restrains the beast to come, the Antichrist to come, and we can actually deduct from the scripture that it's a certain environment that restrains, because Antichrists need the environment of lovelessness and sinful environment, and until this environment is here, Antichrist cannot appear. So that's why it's not about it's not the technology itself that is evil. But the technology will be used by Antichrist in the time when he will be here, and it will be used in evil manner, because they can program. When people right now go and they search, okay, who is God? And maybe now they give. Kind of reasonable answer, but they can program anything they wanted. And when people start searching something that's very personal or religious, everyone will be swayed by the answer that is given because Antichrist will use this as a tool. But at the same time, the same tool can be. Something that God's people promote His kingdom as well. So, the answer to your question: The Antichrist is a person. Is a beast ruling over the empire that is a beast as well, and using technology as his tool to promote his agenda. I do want to say to that. I do want to say to that that. Speaking of like technology or AI, you know a lot of people they you know put AI into position where it's evil, right? Like it's an evil piece of technology. But AI itself or any technology, it's not good or evil. It's just a tool, and AI is a tool just as well. And when this tool is in the hands of good people, obviously it produces a lot of good. When because you know today through social media, through YouTube, through internet, you can do a lot of good. You can spread the gospel easily through. Through these tools and with AI as well, in some form, you know it can help you to accomplish a lot of good things if you harness it to for to yourself, right? So in itself, like AI and any piece of technology, it's neither good or bad. Just like a hammer, it could be used for a good purpose, nailing the nail, or it could be used to harm another person. But the tool itself is is neither bad. Or good. In the same way, AI is neither good or bad. But what what would happen is that when evil people take control of the world, they they they take control of the political system, maybe religious system. They take all of these systems and they combine them, and then they use AI and other forms of technologies. Then, of course, they can do a lot of harm. And that's that's how AI and other things will be used. Against humanity. The only addition to that as well about AI, and I do because I myself also said that it's a tool. But that tool, when it's gonna be an image of Antichrist, gonna be something bigger than just a tool because somehow the spirit will be placed into that AI. And before I could not understood how this can happen, but I've listened to some of the fathers of AI, and they said. How the AI making decision right now? They cannot understand those who created AI. Because before, I thought that AI it's like a cheap computer. They put information, it gives you that information. But he said that's not how it works. They put lot of those chips, millions, up to a billions chips together to represent the human brain. And each chip might have its own information. One chip will say it's it's not good to break the rule. The other chip might say it's okay to break the rule. To get things done faster, and how how the computer decide to go by this information or by that, he goes. We don't know. And I'm thinking maybe to add technology, somehow the spirit gonna control the decision making, and that's how the Antichrist start using this tool as something. More than just the technology, as well. Well, it almost seems that that there is a spirit already in this technology because of how it does make its own decisions. And I've also listened to to some of these fathers that created AI, and they're having a hard time controlling it themselves because because the AI is already kind of doing things that is. Not even in their books, so it almost feels like there is a spirit there. We're we're almost out of time, but I'm gonna put two questions into into one, and you guys already answer both or just one. If these technologies aren't necessarily evil themselves, when does technology cross the line into something Christians should? Refuse, so that's question one. And the last question: If the Antichrist, the Beast, AI, and the Mark are coming or are here, how should a Christian prepare for the last days? So, let's start with Ben, and then Pastor Henry, please. Finish it off. Well, I'll tell you how not to prepare. Stockpiling ammunition, you know, is not the way you prepare. Or building bunkers is not the way you prepare. Or you know, trying to live off grid or or do any of these things that that a lot of people are. You know they're preparing for the summer apocalypse, so to speak, because that's what people think is going to happen—some apocalyptic event—and they need to be prepared. And this is how people of the world are preparing. But the Bible, I mean, it teaches us the way you prepare is you get your relationship with God in order. And the reason for this is very simple. We read in the Bible that when the mark of the beast will come, when when the Antichrist himself will come, the only thing that will save you is the relationship with Christ. It's when God himself will put a mark on you. That's what the Bible tells us. Because at that time, not only will Antichrist will mark people, but it also is written that God will place His mark on His people. And this mark is what will protect you from all of the things that that are going to happen in the world. And if you think that all I have to do is figure out who that Antichrist is, I have to figure out this what this number six six six means, and I have to try to avoid the mark of the beast, and I will be safe. This is not going to happen. The Bible says every person whose name is not written in the Book of the Lamb in the Book of Life will be either chipped or will carry the name of the beast. Basically, he will receive that mark. On himself, there is no escaping. The only escape route from this is getting your relationship with God in order, so that God would place the mark on you, and then from that, and by that, God's protection and His anointment will be on you. But if you think that you know that somehow I can weasel this weasel weasel out, or I try to hide from this situation by moving very far up the mountains, and I will escape all of these events, and they kind of will pass me by. None of this will happen, because at that time, the time we're in. Like the time of AI, it will be so easy for this technology to recognize what every person is doing. It will be so easy for AI to the AI will know everything about you, about your fears, about your ambitions, what your all your strengths and weaknesses, and it will be able to target you specifically on your weaknesses. And this is why there is no escaping. And if you think I will stand, I will be strong. This is not going to happen unless God's spirit and His anointment will be on you. I think Brother Ben he answered the question too. So. And I pretty much concur. I had the same actual answer that you have to have a first because it says that God will mark His people, and then there is going to be the mark of Antichrist. But getting back to your first question, how would you not cross the line of aye? And I believe even if you take some of the seminaries nowadays, Christians. Seminaries and the ruling they have, and I concur with that ruling, is that you use AI as a tool. Let's say if you actually do some research right now, and you're gonna say, "What does Bible says about about tithing?" And if you strictly rely on what AI tells you, you can get into the trouble. Because why? Well, AI can find the biblical verses on tithing. And provide you with that verses, but you have to make a decision what the Bible talks about, because when AI gives you the conclusion, it may my it might be manipulated by people who was creating that information, and so therefore, most universities Christian univers. Universities and seminaries—they actually suggest that you use AI as a tool when you do some research. You actually let it find all the proper places for you. If you are making a conclusion, you can see what AI, what kind of conclusion AI provide, but then you just use as a certain commentary. You don't use as a whole truth. And therefore, to make it short, if you use AI only as a research tool, and only as the other book that provides its own information, then I think you'll be okay. If you use AI as a source of information for your life, you. You can run into big problems because the information that AI will start giving to people, it's what the system wants the AI to give you. So don't fall for that trap. Use AI as a tool, and I think you'll be okay. Okay. Well, thank you, Pastor Henry and Brother Ben, for coming and. We're going to be ending our service.
