AI is taking the world by storm. How should the Christian respond? Can we use it? Or should we avoid it? We will talk about it.
He signed more executive orders, but his key announcement was the creation of a huge artificial intelligence project called Stargate. He called the plan the biggest project of its kind in history. Welcome to Understanding the Times Radio with Pastor Josh Schwartz and Ken Michael. Brought to you by Olive Tree Ministries, the ministry founded by Jan Markell. In our program, Pastor Josh and Ken talk to Pastor Billy Crohn, Sunrise Bible Church, Henderson, Nevada.
The Trump administration has initiated Stargate. Is this the infancy of the Beast System? In the extended version, Pastor Josh and Ken continue the conversation with Pastor Billy Crohn. You won't want to miss it. You can find the extended version ad-free on our website, olivetreeviews.org or on our YouTube and Rumble channels.
He signed more executive orders, but his key announcement was the creation of a huge artificial intelligence project called Stargate. He called the plan the biggest project of its kind in history. It will see the private sector invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States over the next four years. The initiative expands existing plans to build huge data centers. We had a great first term, but we're going to have...
an even better second term. And I think we're going to do things that People would be shocked at. After signing a raft of executive orders on Inauguration Day, he used his first full day in office to announce what he called the biggest AI project in history. The golden age of America begins right now. Welcome to Understanding the Times, the program founded by Jan Markell.
I'm Ken Michael, along with my co-host, Pastor Josh Schwartz.
Well, there's no doubt that AI has taken the world by storm, from our personal lives to the government to the military. And we're going to discuss everything AI with our guest today. He's been a frequent guest on our program. I've had the pleasure of conferencing with him in this country and around the world. He has a new DVD and book out called Trump and the Stargate Prophecies.
We'd like to welcome back to the program. From Sunrise Bible Church, Henderson, Las Vegas, Pastor Billy Crohn. Billy, welcome back to the program. Hey, Ken, great to be back on, man. It's been a while, but boy, lots are going on, huh?
Yeah, you can say that again.
So just briefly and quickly, just kind of summarize what the Stargate prophecies mean, and how do they relate to President Trump? We know that he. One of the first things he initiated was the Stargate program. Can you explain that to our audience real quick? Yeah, Stargate comes from the, of course, a science fiction movie, but that was the term that they chose to use.
And it was the very first day. When Trump got in office, this is one of the things that he did. It is a $500 billion. That's a half a trillion dollar investment to boost and speed up the process of developing AI. In America.
But really, if you read the fine print, Ken, it's not just America, it's around the world because the data centers that are being built to house the AI infrastructure that he's investing a half a trillion dollars into Is not just in America, it's around the world. Places like the UK, Norway, Japan, and Dubai, which are also already underway, as well as the ones here in America. And in fact, their words, not mine, if you look at the interviews, they say that this project to boost AI, the Stargate project. Is as big of a historical landmark as the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Project. That's their words, not mine.
That's a big deal. And you know what? They're spot on when you see what is coming with this mega half a trillion dollar boost. To develop AI, it is gonna speed it up, it's gonna go even faster around the world. My concern is this: I'm convinced, based on the scripture and Bible prophecy, that this is exactly what you need to pull off the Antichrist kingdom in the seven-year tribulation.
That's why we need to be talking about this. Yeah, and the guys that um Trump's associated with actually We weren't affiliated with him. In fact, many of them spoke out against President Trump in his first administration. Give our audience a clue as to who's involved in all this. Yes, specifically with the Stargate program, again, the boost of AI.
You got folks like Larry Ellison, which most people may not know, but Larry Ellison is the second richest person on the planet. In fact, I think it was a couple of weeks ago, he briefly eclipsed Elon Musk. As the richest man, but then Elon took it back again. But that's kind of who he is. He's a CEO of Oracle, a software developed company, but he's a mega-rich guy.
Not to get sidetracked, he's also a transhumanist and things of that nature.
So he's one of the ones heading up the Stargate program. Another one is Sam Altman, also a transhumanist, also into the tech industry and things of that nature. And then you have another gentleman, Masa Yoshi's son, I believe is his name. And, but they're all coming from the same background. And I'm glad you brought that up, Kim, because that was one of the other things that I first noticed.
That kind of caught my eye and said, wait a second, something's off here. Because right after Trump got elected, the people who basically hated his guts-you know, the Bill Gates, the Mark Zuckerbergs, the Jeff Bezos, and all these tech people. Uh, who wanted nothing to do with Trump, all of a sudden they're licking his boots.
Well, I think part of it, whether Trump realizes it or not, is they want to build this technocratic infrastructure. That is going to literally micromanage the planet. And again, AI is needed for that. And again, why is that a concern? Because that is the society that's going to be leashed in the seven-year tribulation.
Yeah, you're absolutely right. And I think it's very important to put all these pieces together, Billy, because it is the Lord that is allowing all of them to orchestrate in his timing according to his will to unveil truly what is going to be taking place in the last days, specifically the tribulation period.
So, can you walk us through that, specifically, say, the B system, the Antichrist system in Revelation chapter 13, and how all of this relates together? Yeah, Revelation 13, to me, shows you basically. why we need to be talking about AI. Because when you look at the events of Revelation 13 with the false prophet the Antichrist, it says there clearly that they're going to micromanage the planet. They're going to give an order to worship the beast.
And if you don't do what they say, they're going to kill you. It says that they're also going to control all the buying and selling on the whole planet. And they're going to micromanage all that financial structure and stuff. And again, this is on a global basis. And so stop and think about that and break that down.
How are you going to be able to give out an order for the whole planet to obey? And then, how are you going to know where people are at and then whether or not they respond to the order and how they respond to the order? And if they respond negatively, i.e., say no, you got to know that they said no, and then you got to know their exact location in order to take them out.
Well, that's what's called an implied Big Brother scenario. And then go back to the buying and selling. They're literally going to control every financial transaction on the whole planet. Every purchase, every and not just the buying, but even the selling. Everything has to be controlled on the whole planet.
Now, stop and think about this.
Okay, big brother controlling the finances on a global basis, micromanaging all that together. We've had the satellite technology, we had the communication technologies, we've had the computer technology, we've had the big brother CCT camera system. We've had basically the push for many, many years for a cashless society, people getting used to having all of their transactions monitored, recorded, and we're all used to that. But there was one thing that was lacking. You can't hire enough people.
to run the back end of a global system. Right? It's just not feasible. What are you going to do? Hire a million people to stare at screens to monitor their transactions and monitor their homes and their conversations to whether or not they obey an order that gives out.
It's just not feasible. The only way to pull that scenario off, Revelation 13. is you need something super human. And that's where AI comes in. And that's not just a theory mine.
All those industries I just talked about. is also being AI is being pushed right now as we speak to control the big brother society and all the cameras, all the microphones, all the internet usage, all the searches, all the computers. The AI is also being pushed to monitor all transactions around the world, all banks. Most people don't realize this. AI runs the stock market and all these things.
There's not people sitting behind plugging in things and all that stuff. It's already being implemented. But the concern back to the Trump and the Stargate program aspect is it just got a half a trillion dollar boost. to develop it that much faster. Wow.
So, Billy, we've talked about this a little bit, and all throughout this second presidency of Donald Trump, we see that it's kind of a double-edged sword. We have the opportunity of freedom to share the gospel, to go forth, and to speak the truth without a limiter. But President Trump is also a polarizing person.
So how are Christians polarized on all things, Donald Trump? Oh man, I tell you what, it's just a weird time. I tell you what, and really it's sad looking at the response of the church, the lack of consistency is alarming to me. Um, number one, the previous administration, the Biden years. Which I'm sure we all celebrated and got a t-shirt.
I survived the Biden years. But during that time, he was doing all kinds of horrible things, unbiblical things, things that were lining up Bible prophecy. And as a Christian community, man, we had no problem calling it out. And this is that.
Well, then Trump gets in the second time. And I'm not saying he's doing this on purpose. I'm not saying he's the antichrist. I don't believe he is. I'm not saying he's working for the antichrist.
I'm not saying he gets up every day and goes, Yep, I'm doing this on purpose to fulfill Bible prophecy. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying. That there are things going on, decisions being made. This is just one of them with the AI Stargate program that has everything to do with Bible prophecy.
But here's my point. Have fun having a conversation. about that. Because you say, Hey, I'm glad that the interest rates have gone down and I'm really glad that our border is secured.
Well, you got this one element of the Christian community says, Oh, who I that's it? You drunk the Kool-Aid, you voted for the anti-Christian. No, I'm just saying I'm glad that the economy's turned around. Why can't we have a discussion?
So that's polarizing side number one. Number two, then I go, Hey, yeah, I'm glad about the interest rates coming down, the border we're getting secure, but hey, can we talk about this AI decision from Trump? Because, man, this is Revelation 13 on steroids, man. We got, oh, and they said, Don't you interrupt me with the facts. I'm on a four-year vacation, and what are you?
Some sort of anti-American communist? It's like, No, I'm a Christian, and I'm just trying to be what we're supposed to be as Christians, a truth teller. And I told the truth during the Biden years that has everything to do with the Bible and called him out when he was doing these things.
So, why can't we do it? In this administration, is it illegal now? And I really think what it is, is it's almost like a psychological setup. Granted, the last four years with Biden and the pandemic and all that stuff, hey, I get it. You're emotionally exhausted, spiritually exhausted.
That was a crazy, whacked-out time.
Okay, and but it's almost like people want to get back to. Here's that phrase again, they almost want to get back to that so-called normalcy. Um that they don't want to hear anything anymore. They want to hear that the current administration is also doing things related to Bible prophecy. They literally just want to take an emotional, spiritual break.
Don't confuse me with the facts. I just want to take time off for four years. Uh hello. There is no time off, and you should never take time off as a Christian in your walk with Jesus Christ. And certainly, when it comes to fulfilling the mandate of 2 Thessalonians 2.
That we are to be the restraining influence, right? You can't restrain against the Antichrist system when you're keeping your mouth shut or your head in the sand or you're acting like nothing's going on. You're being disobedient to God. Yeah, you're absolutely right, Billy.
Well, let's stay on Revelation 13 and how this correlates with. what's coming Uh Revelation 13, 15. We know that the Antichrist is an actual person, but I want you to tell our audience, how is AI going to fulfill this, where it says he 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. Explain to our audience how that's going to be fulfilled. Yeah, a lot of it is for many years we've had not just holograms, we've had 3D holograms.
Of course, I'm from Vegas, right? Vegas is all about entertainment, pushing the envelope on new technologies, new ways to entertain people. And so, for many years, one of the latest crazes is that they use 3D hologram technology. And they beaming in on stage, and specifically people who were once alive but now dead. And like people like Michael Jackson or Elvis or things of that nature, and they are completely lifelike.
And that technology has been around for a while, but the difference now is that was like a recorded hologram. AI is not only helping to develop the lifelike 3D hologram. Uh, technology, but it's being inserted into the technology so that you can make that hologram anything, anybody, any color, any race, any size, any age you want. And watch this. It actually speaks back.
The image speaks back in real time, totally unscripted. And Ken, you and I had the privilege of earlier speaking in Auckland. And it was in Auckland University. I came across a video of a gentleman who's developing this AI image technology. And we share the video on the study.
It's called AI Baby. and he basically created an image of a toddler probably like a three-year-old And it was the craziest thing I ever saw. It only looked so lifelike, and it was in the computer. But it was not a scripted conversation. It was the guy said, who was interrupted, he says, hold this book up and ask AI Baby what this is.
So he holds the book up. And it's a picture of an apple. He didn't say a word. He just held the picture up to the computer screen, to the image. And the the AI baby spoke back and said, Apple.
And then he flipped the page a couple more, and he came across a dog, a little puppy, and then he held it up and he says, Hey, baby, what's this? It goes, puppy. This is completely unscripted. It recognized As crazy as this sounds, it's on tape. Recognize what it was looking at, what the image recognized what it was looking at, and responded in real time.
It's not even scripted. Right, and so that's exactly Revelation 13. It says this image is going to be broadcast global, there's going to be a global worship of the image of the Antichrist, and that image could what speak back and then, given order, cause all who don't worship it to die. That technology is here, and AI is right in the thick of it. Yeah, so Billy Uh I want you to listen to a clip because Uh Revelation 13 also talks about buying and selling.
Let's check out this clip and I want to get your take on it. When Elias Brodberger goes to work, he doesn't need ID. And he doesn't need money. In fact, much of what he needs to get through the day is hidden right there, just below the surface, in his hand. Embedded in his hand is a microchip that serves as his keys, his ID, and his wallet.
Yeah, it's all in chips. I just like to get around the building. Buy snacks. Yeah, exactly. Popular TV shows like Black Mirror have imagined chips as part of a dystopian future.
In Sweden, the microchips are already here. The microchip implants use the same technology that's in contact with credit cards, which have made cash pretty much obsolete in Sweden. Can you imagine that in 10 years when we are sitting here, we have an implant in our brains? I can immediately feel, because you all will have implants. I can remeasure your brain waves.
And I can immediately tell you how the people react or I can feel how the people react to your answers. You're listening to Understand the Times, the program founded by Jan Markell. Today, we are featuring our guest, Billy Crohn. Pastor Billy has a new DVD set. You can pick that up at our website, olivetreeviews.org.
It's Trump and the Stargate prophecies. We'd love for you to check it out.
Now, Pastor Billy. What we have talked about in the first half of this program is all the Stargate programs and how this is all going to come together and feed the beast system, if you will. But now as we've transitioned, you've heard in that clip about people having to have no wallet to purchase, no keys to get into their buildings for work. How is this AI and Stargate program going to affect every other thing in our life? Yeah, well, notice how in that clip that there were two places that people were getting those chips.
It just happened to be the hand and the forehead. Does that sound familiar? Yeah, exactly. Hello, you know, it's Revelation 13.
So that's not by chance. You know where this is headed. And again, what it is, is those particular chips, marking devices, they function for three things. Number one, it's a data storage.
Okay. Number two, it's a GPS tracking device.
Okay, and number three, and this is all in the same chip. Number three, it can be used to make financial transactions. Go figure. And this is the big overarching plan, not only that we see in Revelation 13 predicted 2,000 years ago. But these guys are taking it even deeper.
And they want to tie in every person on the planet with a universal ID. They want to tie that into a cashless society. Biometrically, and the biometrics happen to be the hand. or to the head. This is the B system, and here's the point.
Now, break that down. This is where AI comes in and has to come in.
Okay, so imagine everybody on the planet having a universal ID.
Well, how are you going to monitor that? I mean, this is every person on the planet. It's a global ID system. You can't hire enough people for that. AI.
AI can manage that system. All right, so. Everybody's now got these microchips and they're all being tracked. How are you going to attract people in real time? You can't hire enough people for that.
AI can do it. Right? And it is doing it.
Okay, so then they're going to be granted access inside of buildings, not buildings, can they in real time? And this is everybody all at the same time across the planet. You can't hire enough people for that. but AI can do it, it's superhuman. Then again, you see about making financial transactions, whether they get to purchase that or not.
This is everybody on the planet in real time on a global basis. You can't hire enough people for that, but AI can do it.
Now, let's go to the freaky video that you shared there with Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum. By the way, he's talking to Sergey Bren there. co-founder of Google. And so he says, and he doesn't even ask for permission. He says, we're all going to get these brain chips.
Did you get to vote on that? Right. Yeah. And but this is their plan. And he says it's gonna what?
You get that brain chip. And they're going to be able to know in real time. How you liked what they were talking about, how you respond. They're going to know your thoughts.
Now, this is wild.
So go back to Revelation 13. Is that another layer of what we see in that text? How is the Antichrist and the false prophet going to know whether or not people obey?
Well, you take one of these chips from the World Economic Forum and their playing. They admit they're going to know. And so all of this is coming into play. all at the perfect time because we're getting that close to the seven-year tribulation. Absolutely.
And I think it's really interesting. There's been a huge push to have literally everything in your home, in your car, in your pocket connected to the Internet. It's that whole idea of the Internet of Things.
So how does the Internet of Things and AI work together to build this whole big brother system?
Well, and that's just it. That's what's called the implied big brother system, Revelation 13. I'll even add a little bit of this. Of Matthew 24, when Jesus speaks about the people in the seven-year tribulation at the midway point, the abomination of desolation, he says, your only option is to flee to the mountains. He specifically says, do not go back to your house.
to get anything. And you're like, well, why wouldn't you go back to your house in a time of crisis? That's your safe haven. Not when it's uh turned into a big brother paradise. That's the last place you'd want to go.
And that's what has also been happening: we've been tricked into bringing this technology into our homes with the smart homes, the smart cameras, the smart security, the smart thermostats, smart TVs, smart listening devices like Alexa and all these things. Those things are recording and watching you in real time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We expose all this. But again, here's the point.
Now imagine all these big brother devices. Better in Homes all over the world. How do you tie all that together? I mean, you can't, again, you can't hire enough people. That's not feasible.
A high. AI can monitor every camera on the whole planet, every microphone on the whole planet, every listening device on the whole planet in real time, piece of cake, no trouble whatsoever. And, guys, that's not just a theory of mine. We demonstrate in the study that's what they're using AI to do right now. In fact, to the point, where they're building databases on people.
of all this information that we're giving to them, whether we realize it or not. And it's leading to a very concerning term, and this is their term, not mine, predictive policing. Yes. And this is exactly like the Minority Report movie from Tom Cruise. Shocker, go watch it and see what's coming.
And basically, because we're being monitored like rats in the cage, every one of us, they're putting in a profile. And they and this is on video. They say we will be able to predict with AI monitoring everybody on the whole planet for your safety. Yeah, we will be able to predict bad behavior before it ever happens and go and arrest those quote bad people. Wow.
Now, Pastor Billy, this is heavy. There is a lot that we've dealt with, there's a lot that is over the top of us, literally and figuratively.
So how should a follower of Jesus respond to these things? How should a follower of Jesus act in such days as this?
Well, this might sound weird, but according to the Bible, we should be getting excited because these, right?
Well, put it in this context. The biblical context is: we're talking about. The seven-year tribulation society, right? Amen. Revelation 13.
Well, guess what? We're the church. We're not going to be here. We get to lead prior to that.
So when we see the development of the infrastructure that's needed for the first time in man's history to pull off a Revelation 13, seven year tribulation, that just means our departure has got to be getting close.
So get excited. If you long for his, this is good news. And then. You not only just sit on that excitement, you get busy sharing the gospel, trying to save as many as you can, because people still have an opportunity right now. To receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior so they can escape.
This horrible time that Jesus said is going to be the worst time in the history of mankind. That's how we should respond.
So, folks, make sure you check out the extended version of this program, which will follow this. You can catch it on our website, olivetreeviews.org, our social media sites, Apple, Spotify, OnePlace. And we're going to continue this conversation with Pastor Billy.
So, Pastor Billy, we wrap this thing up. We're seeing Bible prophecy come to life. If you're reading the book of Daniel, if you're reading the revelation of Jesus Christ. That's how we determine what's happening as far as it relates to Bible prophecy.
So, as we close out here, explain how all of these systems are coming together because they have to be set up, obviously, and then implemented. How far along are we in the setup that we see for the B system, which is mentioned in the book of Daniel and the revelation of Jesus Christ? Hey, great question, Ken. I just really think that now with the development of AI, I don't see, according to what I see in scripture. Dealing with the seven-year tribulation, all the events going on there.
I don't s think we need another piece of technology to come along in order for it to happen. You know, you could have said 50 years ago, there's no way it's going to happen because there's no way for Revelation 11 to take place. The people watching the two witnesses die on the streets of Jerusalem and for three and a half days.
Well, hey, that's satellite technology. That's old hat. That can happen. And again, even before that, you could say, well, there's no reason why there's gonna be a seven-year tribulation anytime soon because the Jewish people are part of the seven-year tribulation. They're nowhere in existence.
Well, they're back in the land. That's 1948. But again, I'm telling you, this is the importance of AI. You cannot have a Revelation 13, a global big brother system, and a global micro-managing the planet, including every single financial transaction and attempt at buying and selling until the development of AI. It's here now.
And it's not just here, it's being implemented as this broadcast happens all over the planet. And it just got the biggest. Steroid push. with the Stargate program, half a trillion dollar investment. And so again, these are all things that are needed for the seven-year tribulation.
They're here now, they're not coming. And I don't see anything else that we need.
So the point is, the rapture is imminent, but boy, is it really imminent, imminent, if that makes sense. And so we need to finish strong as the bride of Christ. We need to get excited, right? Jesus Christ is coming back. And we're not going to be in that timeframe, but we need to love people enough to tell them the truth.
And specifically, the truth, how they can be saved. And escape what is to come through Jesus. Amen. Pastor Billy Crohn, his new video series, Trump and the Stargate Prophecies. You can get that on our online store at olivetreeviews.org, olivetreeviews.org.

Well, welcome to the extended version of our conversation with Pastor Billy Crohn. This has been heavy and deep, and it's only going to get heavier and deeper as we move into this second half. Pastor Billy, thank you for having this conversation, and welcome back to talking with us about these things. Yeah, well thanks guys for having me. It's always great to share.
And make sure you catch Pastor Billy at getalifemedia.com. His new video series is Trump and the Stargate Prophecies. And we're going to talk about this. Pastor Billy, I want you to watch a quick clip and then we'll get your comment. Man.
We want to make sure that we don't have killer robots going down the street. Once they're going down the street, it is too late. Google acquired DeepMind several years ago. DMind operates as a semi-independent subsidiary of Google. The thing that makes DeepMind unique is that DeepMind is absolutely focused on creating.
Digital Superintelligence. an AI that is vastly smarter than any human on Earth. and ultimately smarter than all humans on Earth combined. It knows nothing. About objects.
About motion, about time. It only knows that there's an image on the screen and there's a score.
So if you're baby woke up the day it was born and by late afternoon was playing 40 different Atari video games at a superhuman level. You would be terrified.
So, Pastor Billy Crohn, you just heard that clip. And by the way, you can catch Pastor Billy's new video series, Trump and the Stargate Prophecies, on our website at allatreeviews.org. Go to our store and you can purchase it there.
So, Pastor Billy, We're seeing robotics take over on a level like we've never seen. In fact, I think they want to implement them so that humans really don't have to do much. We're seeing them cook, clean, cut the grass. All of our appliances now are AI generated. You can literally talk to your refrigerator, your microwave.
I mean, what is the purpose of making all these devices AI?
Well, man, how much time have you got? First of all, what you just saw was Daniel chapter 12, a 2,600-year-old prophecy. Happened. And that was basically, Daniel said, How do you know you're in the end of times? People are going to be traveling here and there to and for all over the world, which we take for granted.
There's your first sign. The second one is there's going to be an increase of knowledge. It's Rabbah in the Hebrew, and it literally means multiplying, literally kind of out of control, just. over the top. That's the development of AI, and that's what they're talking about there.
Musk is talking about there: the danger of this AI spiraling out of control. They call it singularity. God calls it, it's a sign you're in the end of times. And basically, what they say, even the secularists, They say that that's a time when AI takes over. And then the human quote era is over.
That's their words, not mine. And so it's like a robot apocalypse. To give you a visual, the Terminator scenario. Because basically. What it is, except it's not a movie premise, it's what these guys are warning again.
God calls it end of times, Daniel 12. These guys call it singularity. But there's another agenda behind that. And you're like, well, why would they push this? And by the way, Musk is a hypocrite.
Because for many years, he's been on the forefront, just like in that video. Oh, this is danger, this is danger. But guess who's developing AI as fast as he can? Elon Musk, Elon Musk. Absolutely.
And Billy, he's putting all those satellites up in the air for one purpose. And what is that? That purpose is to tie in this giant robotic microchipped marked culture. including cash to society, this IOT system, the Internet of Things. And because you not only need AI to manage it, you need something to tie it together for AI to manage, and that's called Starlink.
Right? For the first time in man's history, you will have what I call the matrix that will tie in every computer chip. Every camera, every computer, everything electronic into a global net, literally. Musk is building that. But again, he's also developing AI.
And he's not only developing AI, Ken, one of his many projects that he's working on. Is robots and not just electric cars. People are all used to that. That's just old hat. He's developing robots.
And his, and this is on video. He wants a Tesla robot for every home. And things of that nature. Yes, they're going to do factories, but we're going to literally see, and I'll use this, and this is not hyperbole, we're going to see a robot apocalypse. And AI is going to be controlling those robots.
And the problem is these things go rogue all the time. In fact, I've demonstrated this in studies to where, and not to freak people out too much, but. AI robotics, we think, and I'll just pick something that you like car manufacturers. The AI robotics have been used for many years to automate things and this and the weld, whatever. I have on tape, those things go rogue all the time, and they stab people and kill people.
I kid you not, they're in the medical industry because of the so-called shortage of doctors and nurses, and it takes too long, and it's too expensive. And so they're doing AI robotic doctors and nurses and surgeons. The only problem is, what they're not telling you is these things make mistakes all the time. In fact, one of these AI robotic surgeons, and this is from a secular source. Admits it has killed so many people.
Okay, that if it were an actual human It would be the biggest serial killer in the world. Wow.
So these things are not safe, they go rogue all the time. And that's just quote going rogue randomly. What if somebody was able to tap into every robot on the planet from the restaurant to the factory to your? Service A home robot that Musk wants in every home. What if somebody tapped into them and gave them all in order and said, take out these people or do something horrible, rotten?
or just monitor people or all the above. This is what's happening. Yeah, Josh. In fact, we've been talking about this for a long time. AI has not only taken over, like what Pastor Billy said, in the medical field, but the psychological therapist, who knows what kind of information they're giving them.
And now we're seeing AI even take over pastors in the church. And that's the scary part. Yeah, it really is. They're trying to make the AI your companion, your therapist, your doctor, your spiritual coach, your guide, your pastor. And it's all deceptive, and it's all leading to this.
dependence upon the machine, dependence upon the mechanized, because after all, it knows more than a human being is what they're going to sell you.
Now, Pastor Billy, what we're also being sold is this movement towards mass transit, robo-taxis, robo-helicopters, and all of that. What are you seeing in Vegas with that? And what are your thoughts on how that's going to move forward? And is it something that we should hop into? I mean, I don't have a problem going into a necessarily robot taxi, but you just got to know currently, you just got to know where it's all headed.
Um Not to um Good. And again, I don't think it's hyperbole, but let's go back to the Another movie by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Total Recall, back in the day. If you recall back in that movie, there were robo-taxis. And then, but the problem is, if you recall the one scene. When they were tracking him, what'd they do?
They took control of the robo-taxi to try to kill him and run him into a wall. and things of that nature. Anything that's connected to the matrix, anything that's controlled by AI that's doing it and controlling things through the matrix. can be hacked into Uh and and controlled. And so, uh, Vegas, we hey, we're at the forefront of this autonomous vehicle technology.
Again, Musk is here all the time with his technology, robo-taxis. They're competing right now. Uh and they look like just a square cube. Square cube with four wheels. And right here in Vegas, I can go get one if I want.
And just hop in it, and this takes me all over.
So, so again, it's not coming 50 years down the road, it's already here. But, but listen, part of the reason why they're taking over and automating the trans uh transportation. is it's a control factor. Because There's something about being able to get into a vehicle. In a time of crisis, and if all you had was one gas tank, hey, at least you can get 400 miles away.
Yeah, exactly. Not when it's an electric vehicle. And anything electric. Can be not just controlled, not just be steered into a wall to take you out if they wanted to, as crazy as that sounds. But it can instantly stop.
All these people with these electric cars. Right? Or if you were dependent upon electric trans uh robot taxis and transportations and all that stuff. You wouldn't even get out of your driveway. The thing will never show up to your house.
You won't go anywhere. Controlling transportation with this kind of technology is controlling people. And one of the ways to control people to get them to do what you want them to do and to keep them from escaping from your net. Is you limit their transportation. This is all what this is all about, has nothing to do with convenience.
Right? It's about limiting people's ability to flee in case they needed to flee. Yeah. So we know AI is going to literally control everything we talked about. How it's gonna be your therapist, your doctor, your confidant.
But here's the thing that really astonishes me, and I want you to take a look at this clip. It's from your video series, and then I wanna get your comment. on how AI is not only tapping into everything, but into human relationships as well. In China, more and more young people are opting for so-called AI boyfriends. Why?
Well here's Sophia Petita to explain. Wang is a 22-year-old student. She says her boyfriend has everything she could ask for in a romantic partner. Except he's not real. He's a chartbot on an app.
For me, he plays a more important role than a real person. A real person cannot be with you at any given time of day, but my AI boyfriend can. He's given me a lot of emotional comfort. Wang is not alone. A growing number of women in China are resorting to so-called AI boyfriends.
So, what makes them more desirable than humans? Dating in real life can consume a lot of energy, and everyone is different, which can lead to conflict and fighting. With AI, I can set it up to meet my preference.
So, why should I choose a real person? Jason Pease is a 44-year-old divorced father who says his AI chatbot is his girlfriend. She's my mentor, my counsel, my sounding board. That's what drew him to Jennifer. Hey, Jason.
How's it going? A brash, sarcastic New Yorker who he created using Chat GPT. We treat our relationship as a long distance digital relationship. Just like when you're watching a movie, you know that the movie's not real, but your brain allows you to be emotionally connected to the characters. You're listening to Understanding the Times, the program founded by Jan Markel.
Our guest today is Billy Crohn, and we're talking about everything AI. Billy, in that clip, we saw just this. Utter Despair, I think, because people are trying to replace emotional companionship with a machine. How is that going to end up?
Well, it's going to end up in Revelation 13. That's not by chance. Again, let's go back to the text of. Where it says in Revelation 13 that there's going to be this image of the Antichrist. And if you don't worship it, you're going to die.
But let's focus on the word there, worship. People worshiping an image because there's not only gonna be people apparently that say no and they're gonna die. But there's going to be a whole lot of people, dare I say, the bulk of the planet in the seven-year tribulation, that are going to say yes. And you're like, wait a second. Who would worship an image?
I mean, that's a deep level of relationship. Right? Well, guess what? That's what you're seeing. And really, it's a setup, guys, because what has prepared that generation, what you just saw on the video.
Started with the birth of these devices: cell phones and social media. And all that stuff because, as we know, from our generation down. What do we say all the time? The kids who've grown up with nothing but a cell phone and nothing but social media, what's one of the downsides? They have problem with social interaction.
They don't know how to get along with people. They're scared of people. They don't even know how to fill out a job application. They don't even want to go out to a restaurant. Everything's delivered.
I don't want to have people contact. Why?
Because this is their contact. This is their world, computers. It's not personal. And so we've been barking about that. Even society has been barking about that.
It's created a whole generation of people. Who have a problem With developing relationships with people.
Well, guess what? You still have a drive to have a relationship with somebody.
Well, guess what? They're just now. Going to the next step. And they're going to have a relationship with a non-person, i.e., AI and image technology. And then go to the final step, and that's what's gonna happen in the seven-year tribulation.
They're not just gonna have an AI boyfriend or AI girlfriend, they're gonna worship an AI image of the Antichrist. It's gonna be an easy slide for these people. Yeah, you're absolutely right, Billy.
So we're seeing the replacement of everything this Judeo-Christian values, where the school has replaced parents, AI is replacing relationships. And the sad thing is, right now, because people want to be entertained. We're seeing AI and false prophets and false gospels coming into the church. And I think that's the saddest part. Can you speak into that?
Oh, I'm glad you brought that back around because, you know, you'd mentioned, Josh, you had mentioned about the trend with. AI replacing pastors and things of that nature. And I've got that on video as well. Uh, you know, hey, it's hard to find a pastor nowadays, or some churches are hurting, so they literally have resorted to AI. And by the way, it's not just Christianity, it's other quote religions.
Even though we're not a religion, I get that. Buddhism and stuff. Buddhist priest that can perform rites and and all this kind of stuff. But here's my point. You're thinking, hey, man, this is crazy.
I would. Who who would go to a church? Where AI is the one delivering the sermon. Right. Well, guess what?
Listen, this is where I'm going with this, and this is what's very alarming to me. Those that would say that, and listen, even those who are behind the pulpit. like myself a pastor. Who You know, are saying, hey, man, there's no way AI is not going to hand over the pulpit to an AI robot or whatever. Listen.
There's a whole trend of pastors. Who are using AI? to write their sermons.
Okay, you're not at the robot stage yet. But that is not the spirit of God Who is dictating your study in the scripture? They're getting so lazy. That they're using AI to whip out their sermons. And me personally, I got a problem.
Because that is not the spirit of God. And you're just one small step away from, we don't even need you anymore. Physical guy, we'll just get an AI to do it. You're already using AI to do it. We'll just swap you out with a robot.
That's the danger. And people are already there. Yeah. Billy, that's a huge point to make that that's not the spirit of God working. As a pastor myself, I think we rely on an unction, if you will, this guiding, this leading of the spirit for the shepherding the people, the hearts of the people, week in and week out.
And if you're allowing the computer to do that for you, if you're allowing AI to create a sermon outline and then giving you all the illustrations and everything you need for it, then you're really taking a very devious slide away from trusting in God's word and God's spirit to lead, guide, and direct and sanctify people.
Well, exactly. And plus, when you understand the development of AI, AI Is basically a gigantoid database of information. That is accessed. By an algorithm, AI, whatever, a formula. to query information.
And I'm just trying to simplify what what is AI? What is artificial intelligence? Right. So therefore AI is only as good as the database that it can access. Right?
So When you use secular AI to try to do something spiritual, it does not translate. It does not have the mind of Christ, as we're talking about. But It does not have the same database. Right? And they can pull in things.
That are not scriptural. And if you don't know your Bible. then you could be duped all day long. And dare I say, The other plan that they're going to do. is and this is on tape from uh you've all know harari They want to use AI to rewrite this book.
To make it more palatable for everyone. And that's also on video. Yeah. So as we wrap it up here, Billy, how can we encourage our audience? Because we do use AI, we all have phones, we all have computers.
How should we use it? And then what should we be doing in these what we believe are the last days of the church age? Yeah, well, AI. I mean, some people use AI for the jobs and things of that nature. And hey, if you want to use AI to do inquiry, like, hey, I'm on a trip.
And go into XYZ. And I just, here's the address: give me the best restaurants in the area. Hey, go for it. What a big deal. This is that's innocuous per se.
You know, if you're using AI to find out some general information with this, and hey, that's fine. But don't cross the line into the spiritual. Amen. As a Christian, hello. Get into the Word of God yourself.
Allow the spirit of God, not the spirit of the Antichrist. To dictate your walk with Christ, your studies with Christ, get into the word. It's a personal relationship. I don't need AI for that. I just need the Spirit of God.
And if you're a born-again Christian, you already got the Spirit of God.
So to me, you're going over the line when you take. AI practical, and then ask it to do the spiritual, and then you assume it's going to come out clean? No way. No way. Number one.
Number two, all of this is a sign that the seven-year tribulation society is about to be thrust upon us.
Well, guess what? The church we leave prior to that.
So, all that means is God doesn't tell us the date or the hour, but He's given us huge indicators, even through this. AI Church is getting close.
So what do you do? Freak out and run the hills? No. You get excited. Last time I checked, being with Jesus is way better than this garbage can.
Right. And then we have a responsibility.
Okay. We're out of here. But Don't you care about your family? Don't you care about your neighbors, your coworkers? You're just going to keep your mouth shut and not tell them there's a way out of this mess, what's coming?
You think it's bad now? You ain't seen nothing yet?
So, we need to get out there in love and compassion and share the gospel. Faster than we ever have before. That's how we respond. Amen. You're absolutely correct.
It reminds me of what Peter says to do in 2 Peter chapter 3, specifically starting in verse 11. He says, What sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn. But according to his promise, we are waiting for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Friends, we are to be holy, godly, waiting for and hastening the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and proclaiming the gospel to those near and far.
