In a chilling exploration of Revelation 13:14–15, Pastor Kap Chatfield issued a powerful warning about the direction of modern technology and its eerie alignment with biblical prophecy. The verse speaks of a time when the second beast, known as the false prophet, “was granted power 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.”
“This scripture gives us one of the most mysterious and chilling details in all of Bible prophecy,” Chatfield said. “The first beast is going to say, ‘I need you to create something that will … basically take me and codify me and make me an image.’”

While early readers of Revelation may have struggled to envision such a reality, Chatfield argued that current technological advancements bring the prophecy into sharp focus. “We’ve created artificially intelligent avatars that can speak … now they can think for you and they can interact in real time,” he said. “We have deep fakes … holograms … Tesla’s creating humanoid robots … you can buy a robot for like, I think, 20,000 bucks that can … be a robot butler for your house.”

His tone grew more urgent as he connected this rise in artificial intelligence to a coming deception. “What if the image of the beast is not actually … a golden statue like Nebuchadnezzar or a golden calf … but is actually a globally accepted artificially intelligent representation of the antichrist himself?” he asked. “What if it’s something powered by a super intelligent system that can speak, influence and even make life or death decisions?”
At the heart of Chatfield’s message is a call for spiritual awareness and biblical literacy in the face of emerging AI systems that mimic life and consciousness. “The more we build technology that mimics consciousness and the more society becomes conditioned to obey digital prompts without question, the easier it becomes for a powerful AI-driven system to be embraced as something holy and transcendent.”
Chatfield made it clear he is not claiming that AI is the beast itself, but warned it may be the very tool that fulfills the prophecy. “I’m not saying that AI itself is the beast,” he said. “But what I am saying is that AI may be the very tool used to give the image of the beast its voice, its life, its conviction and its terrifying authority.”
