As technological growth continues to skyrocket, one of the latest humanoid robots is terrifying people with its uncanny human likeness.
In a report by The Daily Mail, Xpeng, a Chinese-based electric vehicle manufacturer, introduced their newest robot, Xpeng IRON, whose movements were so humanlike that “investors were forced to cut it open on stage to prove there wasn’t a person hiding inside.”

While audiences may have hoped to find out the whole thing was a hoax, it was indeed the robot itself moving with such humanlike fluidity.
As the outlet noted, people have been stunned by this robot in a way that has never happened before. “For the first time in human history, a robot needs to prove that it is a machine,” one person wrote online.

Xpeng noted that the ability for this machine to move so well is because it is “cat-like” with its own man-man bones, spine and muscles. It is also powered by three different AI chips, bringing the total to 2,250 trillion operations per second. The Daily Mail notes how this makes IRON “…one of the most advanced humanoid robots in existence.”
Chairman of Xpeng Motors, He Xiaopeng, promised that these robots will continue to advance, where consumers will be able to “choose the sex, hair length or clothing for your desired purpose” of their robot. He also said that these humanoid robots will be “life partners and colleagues.”
This comes right as tech company 1X just released the Neo humanoid robot, which is designed to do chores around the house, and is now up for pre-order.
There’s no question about it: These humanoid robots are signs of the end times that were described to us in Scripture. Revelation 13:15 warns that in the end, there would be a deception 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.” Could the building of these robots literally be giving breath to the image of the beast?

As these humanoid robots continue to advance with astonishing realism, it serves as a sobering reminder that the world is moving closer to the prophetic visions described in Scripture. Technology that once seemed like science fiction is now becoming a reality, and the question is no longer if, but when mankind will face choices tied to deception and worship.
