Who's Going To Call the Shots

 

I’m Duane Matz and welcome to Today’s Living Word.

 

Sometimes we have to talk about the wrath and judgement of God. It’s coming, and in addressing it, one can hope and pray that some will take note and run to the cross for refuge.

 

I was reading the account of  the tower of Babel in Genesis 11 today, and in verses 6 through 8 we read: “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.

 7 "Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.

 

We live in an age where the world is again speaking one common language and it’s not English. It’s the binary language of the computer.

 

This language (the use of computer technology) has already brought about amazing things, some good and some potentially very bad.

 

AI Artificial Intelligence is the new buzz word and it’s frightening to think about the possible abuses involved, and I’m wondering. “What is God thinking about this?”

 

Will AI cross lines that weren’t meant to be crossed? Will AI eventually dictate the morality of the world, rather than the true and eternally abiding Word of God?

 

When will AI cross a line and if it does, will God say, “Enough!” as He did with Babel?  Will it be like the Psalmist who writes in  Ps 78:65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.

 

Obviously, no one can answer that question, God may just let it all ride, but in the end, when Christ returns, His certain wrath against unbelievers will be carried out.

 

But He has graciously provided a means to escape His wrath, through faith in Jesus!

Joh 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

 

The follower of Christ knows that true intelligence, true Wisdom comes from God, and in these latter days we should pay attention to what the Book of Revelation says about it!

 

Re 13:18 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 hundred and sixty-six.

 

Will you put your trust in man via AI or trust in God?

 

This is interesting to note, and quite a coincidence. There is a city in the Bible called Ai, and it comes from a word that means, “ruin.”  I think that is the eventual outcome for those who let AI call the shots.
