We are absolutely living in the end times.
During the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, author and historian Yuval Noah Harari discussed the very real future of AI and what it could mean for the fate of Christianity and Judaism.
“As far as putting words…AI already thinks better than many of us,” Harari says. “Therefore, anything made of words will be taken over by AI.”
This is truly frightening when you think about it. Could artificial intelligence really take over the very things that we say, write and read?
Yuval Noah Harari speaking at the World Economic Forum just said that AI will soon take control of the Bible, and all the words written in it. The Bible absolutely accepts that challenge. Game on.

“If laws are made of words, then AI will take over the legal system,” he continues. “If books are just combinations of words, then AI will take over books. If religion is built from words, then AI will overtake religion.”
The threat of AI taking over the very laws that are created to keep us safe, and even hijacking the very word of God to say whatever it is programmed to, seems like blasphemy in the making. Scripture is very clear about not adding to it or taking away from it.
“This is particularly true of religions based on books like Islam, Christianity or Judaism. Judaism calls itself the religion of the book, and it grants ultimate authority, not to use, but to words in books,” Harari states.

“Humans have authority in Judaism because of our experiences, but only because we learn the words in books. Now, no human can read and remember all the words in all the Jewish books. But AI can easily do that. What happens to a religion of the book when the greatest expert on the holy book is AI?” Harari asks.
We must absolutely be discerning during this time. We cannot rely on digital content alone for reading the Word of God. We must also remember that Jesus is the Word, and not even the gates of hell will prevail against His kingdom. There is no other choice right now than to study the truth of His Word and share it with the world. The end is near, and we must be prepared for the return of Christ.
