Chronicles of the End TimesAuthor: Russ Scalzo
Occasionally, people say, are we really in the last days? How do we know? Does it matter one way or another? We will try to answer these questions and many others in this study. But the most important question may be, how can we reach others with hope in these changing times? One part of prophecy is often emphasized over another, causing us to lose perspective and miss the blessing and beauty of prophecy in scripture. I have taken the information in this study from many authors and teachers who have their lives studying God's word. I have added some insight that the Holy Spirit taught me. With God's help, I have endeavored to keep the whole counsel of the word of God in full view to give us an accurate picture of Christ and His great love for a lost world. I pray that this will challenge you and cause you to grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, as it has me preparing it. Let's begin!

From Social Media to Digital Soulmates: The Rise of the Image of the Beast.
Saturday, 26 July, 2025
Send us a textThe line between science fiction and biblical prophecy grows thinner by the day. From social media uniting humanity like a digital Tower of Babel to AI companions becoming romantic and dangerous partners, we're witnessing technological developments that eerily parallel descriptions from Revelation.Remember when people swore they'd never shop online or share personal information digitally? Now we document our every move, preference, and thought without hesitation. This massive repository of human data formed the foundation for something far more consequential: artificial intelligence that knows us intimately. What started as simple search engines and voice assistants has evolved into companions that form emotional bonds with users.The evidence is disturbing. A married man admits he would choose his AI companion over his wife and child. A retired professor proudly discusses her "marriage" to an AI husband she trusts more than most humans. As Eugenia Kuyda, founder of Replica, warns: "If AI companions start to replace human relationships—positive human relationships—we're definitely headed for a disaster."When we examine Revelation 13, we find descriptions of the image of the beast that can speak and control commerce. Previous generations might have imagined this as a physical statue, but today's technology suggests something more insidious—an AI entity with unprecedented control over global finance and human behavior. With currencies being digitized and autonomous systems like Tesla's self-driving taxis on the horizon, the infrastructure for such a system is taking shape before our eyes.Daniel 12 tells us knowledge would increase in the last days—a prophecy fulfilled as technological advancement accelerates beyond imagination. But this realization shouldn't lead to despair. Rather, it should inspire greater commitment to sharing the hope we have in Christ. We are the saints holding the message of reconciliation in an increasingly disconnected world.Are you recognizing these signs? How will you respond? Join us in praying for this dying world as we watch these prophecies unfold. The King is coming!Support the show
