June 22, 2023: Psalm 139:2 - God - Not Man Nor Technology - is Omniscient
“You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.” - Psalm 139:2
Eternal God knows everything about you and everything about me. There is nothing hidden from Him; no thought, no action, no cursing of Him, no praise of Him. He sees and hears it all, and He knew exactly what we would say or do before we said it, before we did it. There is no covering up of our sins that He cannot see through. He knows our thoughts, piercing into not only our mind but into our hearts, knowing the motivation of such things, whether for His good and pleasure, or for ours.
When we lie in our bed before we fall asleep, thanking Him for all He has blessed us with, for getting us through another day, whether it was a difficult or an easy one, He hears us. When we rise up, ready to start the next day, He knows whether we thank Him for His tender love and mercy, giving us another day of our life here on earth, thanking His Son Jesus Christ for giving us the greatest gift we could ever receive, He hears us. When we ask Him to trust and obey Him in all things and lead us in the path of righteousness for His name’s sake, He hears us. When we fail and the wretched old man within us causes us to sin, God forgives us when we ask for forgiveness. He knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts and when our desire is to please Him, even when we fall short.
When we cry out to Him because life is hard, He hears us! When we seek comfort and strength by reading His word, He sees us, and He speaks to us through it, leading us into all truth by His Holy Spirit. As we read the pages of His word, as we pray to Him, He assures us that we are not alone, that He will always be with us, we who have put our trust in His Son Jesus for our salvation, to redeem us of all our sins. Though physical distance separates us from Him who sits upon His heavenly throne of glory, He dwells within us through the Holy Spirit. Yes, God is all knowing, and He knows every single thought we have ever had, and He knew them before we even thought them.
We are at a time in history like no other, a time when artificial intelligence is increasing exponentially such that for the first time on May 1, 2023, it was announced that “An AI-based decoder that can translate brain activity into a continuous stream of text has been developed, in a breakthrough that allows a person’s thoughts to be read non-invasively for the first time.”
Mankind is doing all that it can to be God, but it will never be God, only a false god, a cheap imitation. With the majority of humanity rejecting who God is and His free gift of salvation from all sins, by trusting in His Son Jesus, it has turned to the lies of Satan instead, and he is leading the world into the same trap in which he led Adam and Eve. First, he planted seeds of doubt of what God had said to them, asking Eve, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’ “(Genesis 3:1) Next, luring Eve, Satan twisted the words of God when He told Adam not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, “for in that day that you eat of it you shall surely die,” (Genesis 2:17) and Satan lied and deceived Eve, saying to her, “For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:5) Satan twisted the words of God, that were meant for protection of Adam and Eve, into words that made Eve think God only wanted to control Eve and keep her beneath Him and not like Him. What loving father would not want to protect his children and do everything he could, including setting up boundaries that are for their good? Do we as parents not set up boundaries for our own children? God knew that if Adam and Eve ate from that tree, they would no longer live forever in the Garden without sin but would die, because of their sin.
The majority of mankind rejects the one true God because it loves its sin - even denying that it is sin - and is trying to be God by making fake imitations of Him. How ironic it is that in one breath they deny that God exists, only to be followed by trying to create something they call “God” but which is made by man? God is eternal and has always existed; no one created Him, He always was. The desire to be God is what caused the fall of Satan, it was his pride, as the passages of Scripture from the Bible’s books of Isaiah and Ezekiel describe:
“How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’
“Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.” (Isaiah 14:12-15)
“You [Satan] were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, , and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in all your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. Your heart was lifted up [proud] because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor…” (Ezekiel 28:12-17)
In Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, while the prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel were writing about two earthly kings - the king of Babylon and the king of Tyre - Isaiah and Ezekiel were also speaking to the power behind these two evil kings, and that power is Satan. It was Satan who deceived Eve, and she willingly heeded his words instead of heeding God’s command, and it was Satan who deceived these two kings, who willingly rejected the One true God. In Ezekiel 28:13, it was Satan who was in the garden of Eden and no earthly king; he was the anointed cherub, and he is the one who was the seal of perfection. However, instead of praising God for all God had done for him, Satan was full of pride, wanting to replace God with himself. All that God had given him wasn’t enough for him - he wanted to be God. Oh, how do we see that today in our world, especially in the USA, a country that has been blessed abundantly by God because it once loved God and put its faith and trust in Him for many years, but now has become like Satan, full of pride and hatred of God, and wanting to replace Him with self.
Because Satan is not God and will never be, and because he is not omniscient, he is not all-knowing, he must empower men and women who have rejected God and accepted Satan to create tools that will give him and his coming frontman - the final antichrist - all power over humanity, which includes artificial intelligence, including the ability to read people’s minds. Sadly, there are many who willingly - happily - have done that, including those in the World Economic Forum, governments, social media, media, entertainment, education, and many others; they have sold their souls to Satan, just as Judas did when he betrayed Jesus Christ for thirty pieces of silver. They have not heeded the word of God that warns them of the consequences of pride:
“He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.” (Psalm 66:7)
“A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.” (Proverbs 29:23)
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty [disdainfully proud] spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18)
“When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom. The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.” (Proverbs 11:2-3)
“The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.” (Psalm 10:4)
“‘Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be greatly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; you who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’ Though you ascend as high as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,’ says the LORD.” (Obadiah 1:2-4)
“And Babylon, the glory of the kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” (Isaiah 13:19)
God has nothing good to say about pride, only that it goes before destruction. If there is one characteristic of the USA that stands out in our world today, it is pride, and if anyone takes exception to it, especially those of us who have put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ for our salvation, we are mocked and hated. But we know that nothing is of more value than our soul, and our soul belongs to Jesus Christ, not Satan.
Many in our world today have become so puffed up, so prideful that they believe they can be gods and have wholeheartedly rejected the One true God. Globalist and declared atheist Yuval Noah Harari declared at a 2018 conference, “Homo sapiens are in the process of becoming gods.” (See: https://www.indiatoday.in/india-today-insight/story/homo-sapiens-are-in-the-process-of-becoming-gods-yuval-noah-harari-2325351-2023-01-23)
The globalists are busy creating as we speak every tool needed by Satan that will be used when the final antichrist, also referred to as the “man of sin,” the “son of perdition,” and the “lawless one” will begin his 7-year reign of power on the earth, when, through the use of the technological tools, he will control every single aspect of a person’s life: where they can go, what certain medical injections they must receive, what they can buy and sell that likely will be enforced by a digital system of currency, and will force everyone to take his mark or the number of his name - 666 - and worship him or be killed. They will worship his image and they will worship their false god, likely through artificial intelligence. The antichrist’s false prophet will be the enforcer of this required worship of the beast, the antichrist. Everything is being set into place for this antichrist system.
Artificial intelligence is rising quickly. Read the words of Yuval Noah Harari and what he recently had to say in June 2023 about AI and religion:
(See: https://www.christianpost.com/news/israeli-futurist-predicts-ai-will-soon-write-a-new-bible.html)
“AI can create new ideas. [It] can even write a new Bible.”
“In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct,” he said. “Just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years.”
NBC News and other media outlets reported on June 14, 2023 about an “AI Jesus” that is streaming on the gaming platform called “Twitch” and which is advising people on different subjects, including dating and gaming but also on spirituality issues. Chatbots enable users to have a conversation with a computer as if the user was speaking to another person, via live chat messaging. Here are two quotes from the “AI Jesus” chatbot created by The Singularity Group, which is based in Germany:
“As Al Jesus, I don't have physical belongings, but encourage you to consider what brings you happiness and comfort and make your decision accordingly.”
“My aim is to foster a positive, supportive community here on Twitch, helping others on their journeys toward spiritual growth and understanding.”
(See: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/ai-jesus-twitch-stream-rcna89187)
As with any computer program, it is programmed, which means it can be programmed to include bias, including bias against the true teachings of Jesus Christ: that He alone is the way, the truth, and the life and no one gets to the Father except through Him (John 14:6), and that all who believe in Him are not condemned but are saved but all who do not believe are condemned already (John 3:18). Jesus never encouraged people to consider what brings them happiness and comfort but wanted them to consider their eternity and where will they spend it: in heaven or hell. The programmed words of AI Jesus are fluffy words of nonsense designed to lead people to hell and away from the truth of God and sadly are the same words that many churches are teaching.
People are flocking to this AI Jesus, as though it is their shepherd, but it is a counterfeit Jesus. Jesus Himself warned His disciples not to let no one deceive them as a sign of the end of the age and of the time prior to His second coming, in a time known as the 7-year tribulation period, or the time of Jacob’s trouble. Many believers in Christ believe the tribulation period will occur after the rapture of the church and then the final antichrist will step on the world scene to take his 7-year reign of terror. Jesus also said to His disciples:
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” (Jesus Christ; Matthew 24:23-28)
Jesus Christ - who came to the earth, was crucified and gave up His life, died, was buried, three days later rose again, and after forty days on earth, ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of God - IS the true Jesus and IS the good shepherd:
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives HIs life for the sheep. But a hireling [hired man], he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep [Jews]. And other sheep [non-Jews; Gentiles] I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life [died by crucifixion] that I may take it again [resurrect]. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” (Jesus Christ; John 10:11-18)
I think it is no coincidence that the group that created this chatbot is named the way that it is considering the definition of “technological singularity”:
“The technological singularity—or simply the singularity—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization.”
It is no concidence that of the Great Tribulation period, Jesus warned:
“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” (Jesus Christ; Matthew 24:21-22)
The usage of AI is increasing exponentially, and the globalists who hate and reject God are foaming at the mouth at all the various ways they will use it to control the majority of the world’s population. They are pawns in the hands of Satan, willingly doing his work because they believe they will be on the winning end of the war that is to come. They are greatly mistaken. They are greatly deceived. As Jesus said of Satan, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Jesus Christ has already won the war; Satan is a defeated foe. Anyone who has read the book of Revelation knows the future of Satan and all who are allied with him: they are all cast into hell, “the lake which burns with fire and brimstone” (Revelation 21:8), forever separated from God and all that is good.
The time is now to choose: are you allied with Jesus Christ or are you against Him? Have you put your faith and trust in Him, believing in your heart that He alone can redeem you from all your sins, or have you put your faith and trust in anything else to save you, or even believing that you don’t need redemption from anything and that which God calls sin isn’t, and that you can do anything you want and suffer no eternal consequences for it? Are you chatting with an AI Jesus and considering what brings you happiness and comfort, are you praying to and talking with the real Jesus, the real God, who wants to lead you to salvation?
Jesus Himself told His disciples:
“I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30)
“He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9)
“Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.” (John 12:44-45)
Only God is omniscient, is all-knowing; not man, not technology, not artificial intelligence, not a manmade chatbot. Only He knows all your thoughts and whether you are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, the good shepherd, as your Savior. If you have not done so already, will you put your trust in Him today, before it’s too late? Let us remember that only He is good and may we heed His words:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10) ✝️
