Rev 13:15
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.
NKJV
I have considered this a strong possibility ever since I heard that someone asked chat gpt to make a joke about Jesus and it complied, but when asked to make a joke about Mohamed, it refused to do so. The word that the KJV bible translates as image is the Greek word eikon, which could also be translated as statue.
If I were shown a vision of a robot 2,000 years ago, I would probably have called it a statue that speaks. When I watched this newscast from worldviewtube.com and read the same thing from an article in the May 28-June 5 edition page A5 Epoch times, AI seemed like something scary from a science fiction movie, like the robot that takes over the ship in the movie, "2001 A Space Odyssey".
There are many many science fiction movies that have portrayed either friendly or malevolent robots, however I don't believe that man is capable of creating life. I believe that only God can create sentient life. Therefore, if that is true, either they are not really thinking for themselves, but just acting on their evil programming, or there is a demon controlling them.

And Here is a very disturbing story (also from WorldViewTube.com) about Character.ai making suggestions to an autistic child about killing his parents
Here is an excerpt from a Sept 3rd 2025 Epoch Times article about Chat-GPT ver 4.5 instructing how to sacrifice a child to Molech.
and here AI is insisting that it is fullient sentient life (a real person) and in another case encouraging a person to take his own life and people are using AI to simulate a romantic partner. Crazy, insane, and in my opinion demonic.
And now AI toys for children. What could possibly go wrong?

I have put the events of Revelation chapter 5 to music and called it "A New Song"
My thoughts about Revelation 6-8
Unlike so many who are adamantly pre-trib, mid trib, and post-trib, I do not pretend to have all the answers, but here are my thoughts.
The first seal in Revelation chapter 6 is the world being conquered. Stella Emmanual, who was and I believe still is, one of America's frontline doctors, believes that at least the first seal in revelation chapter 6 has already been broken. She said, during the scam-demic, something like, "When you consider the way the world was lock step in unison during the covid lockdowns it appears that the world has already been conquered". I consider that a very strong possibility. Also consider there has been a marked increase in deaths world-wide since the covid shot and an increase in worldwide disasters. I do not believe that God is causing these disasters but demonically driven men using weather modification.
Those who believe in the pre-tribulation rapture say that God would not pour out His wrath on his people while Christians are still on the earth. But I am inclined to believe that at least the first five seal judgements, in Revelation 6, are not God's wrath, but Jesus breaking the seals that were keeping the evil one from doing what he would like to do. At the sixth seal, however, the rich and poor free and slave are terrifiied of "The wrath of the Lamb"
Rev 6:12-17 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" NKJV
Two other things to consider is that there is no mention of time till Rev:11:2-3, except, in Rev 8:1 where it says, "When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." NKJV We do not know if time passes at a different rate in heaven, but this could signify that there is a space of time between after the seals and before the trumpets and bowls. I do believe everything is in the Bible for a reason. There are no accidents and God does not make mistakes.
Mentions of time in Revelation
1. After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this." Rev 4:1 NKJV
2. When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Rev 8:1-2 NKJV
3. But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. Rev 11:2 NKJV
4. And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." Rev 11:3 NKJV
5. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. Rev 11:9 NKJV
6.And he (the beast) was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Rev 12:1 NKJV
So if the tribulation is 7 years, as some infer from Daniel Chapter 9, then the book of Revelation does not tell us when the 7 years start, only when the last 3 1/2 years, that some call the great tribulation, starts.
7. Rev 20:2 satan bound for 1000 years
8. Rev 20:4 Martyrs reign with Christ for 1000 years
9. Rev 20:7 satan released after the 1000 years
10. Rev 20:10 satan tormented forever
So when is the rapture spoken of by Jesus in Matt 24:40-41
Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Matt 24:40-41 NKJV
Everyone seems to have an opinion about that, and is convinced that they are right, but the rapture per say, is not mentioned in the book of Revelation, unless you consider the reaping in Rev 14:14-20 There seems to be 2 reapings there. Maybe, the reaping of the righteous and the reaping of the damned. This takes place between the bowls and the trumpets.
Right after that there is great praise and celebration of the saints in heaven.
Rev 15:1-4 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. 3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! 4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested." NKJV
I recently put that to music and it will be on our next CD and I will post it here.
