A question regarding Rev. 13: 14,15.

Rev. 13: 14,15 reads,

14 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.

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.

My Question; Is the Image of the Beast mentioned here and a number of other places an A.I. image?

Personally I think it is quite possible and it would not surprise me if this super computer image is already in the planning stages. It would be in the interest of a certain powerful group of nations to develop an A.I computer with the ability to eventually have access to every computer on Earth. This would give ultimate power as it would be able to prevent and control the production of all computerised weapons systems. This would make the image of the Beast the most powerful force on Earth.

What do you think.

We should take it for what it says. The image is an idol, and it is also animated. It is called the Abomination of Desolation. The word "abomination" applies to a detestable idol. Whether AI is involved will have to be determined later.

The armed forces don't use idols to destroy and annihilate many people.

They use nukes.That is what causes great tribulation.

We should simply go by what Christ said. He is the final authority, and here is what He said: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand; Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:... For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Mt 24:15,16,21)

An idol does not cause great tribulation.

And since we are quoting the word of God,let's make it clear that it is the armed forces that place the abomination of desolation.The armed forces don't use idols to cause desolation.They use weapons.

Daniel 11:31
“His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.
