Are we witnessing the escalation of end-times prophecy?
A report by the International Business Times noted that investor Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank has decided to back an interesting new venture: land for AI centers.
O’Leary reportedly has decided to invest in 26,000 acres of land, 13,000 of which are located in Alberta, Canada, while the other half are “in undisclosed locations currently undergoing permitting processes.”
Beyond this unique investment, O’Leary has also invested in BitZero, which is a bitcoin mining organization based in Norway. For the businessman, he recognizes that “digital asset mining and data center operations require substantial land and power supplies…”
However, when it comes to these investments, O’Leary notes that half of the current centers in the last three years “will never get built” and that the decision to purchase the land for them is part of a “land grab without any understanding of what it takes.”

In light of these developments, a bigger question could be asked not only about what happens to the land in this area, but also about how these additional facilities may impact power systems, landscapes and even the kinds of data that may be mined by AI.
As these AI operations grow and the infrastructure for digital control spreads across nations, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for discerning believers to shrug off the prophetic implications.
Scripture speaks of a coming system that will control commerce, information and identity (Rev. 13), enabling a single world authority to mandate who can “buy or sell” based on allegiance. For that kind of totalized power to function, it requires data, connectivity, energy and physical ground. Land for data centers may seem harmless; however, it just may signal the scaffolding of a digital empire capable of monitoring populations in real time and enforcing compliance without a physical soldier in sight.
The question is no longer theoretical: are we watching the final infrastructure for the beast system quietly take shape?
