BIN: Did Bill Gates Predict The Fulfillment Of Words Of The Prophet Isaiah? COGwriter: Artificial Intelligence consistent with prophecies in Revelation
Bill Gates (Wikipedia)
Breaking Israel News (BIN) reported the following about Bill Gates and Artificial Intelligence (AI):
Did Bill Gates Predict The Fulfillment Of Words Of The Prophet Isaiah?
August 27, 2019
Bill Gates said, “AI may eventually force us to redefine work itself and the role it plays in human life. We may evolve toward higher pursuits. A day will come when we won’t be so focused on just working and avoiding disease, we’ll need some new spiritual cause that binds us, other than just the basics.”
The AI Meme
The people behind the Orthodox Jewish Sparks of Chassidic Wisdom Instagram account noticed the similarity between what Gates said and what the prophet Isaiah wrote about the End of Days.
In all of My sacred mount Nothing evil or vile shall be done; For the land shall be filled with devotion to Hashem As water covers the sea. Isaiah 11:9
They created a meme comparing Gates’ recent comment with a quote from Maimonidies, a major Torah scholar who lived in the 12th century. Basing himself of the prophecy of Isaiah, Maimonides taught, “In the Messianice Era the occupation of the entire world will be solely to know God, attaining an understanding of their Creator to the full extent of human potential, as it is written [Isaiah 11:9], “For the world will be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the ocean bed.” …
End Times expert and prolific author Rabbi Pinchas Winston told Breaking Israel News, “Kabbalah teaches that eventually the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil will merge with the Tree of Life, as it was supposed to do back in Adam’s time, and would have had he not sinned.” …
Did Isaiah Predict Computers?
Rabbi Levi Potash … an Orthodox rabbi based in Silicon Valley … asked, “Did Yeshayahu (Isaiah) Predict Computers?”He described the four levels of existence, the lowest being inanimate objects. Potash further connected computers to Isaiah’s prophecy when he wrote, “Now, finally, Torah has come to the world of inanimate objects – i.e., computers, which are made up of metal and plastic. And so the land – physical inanimate objects – is actually being filled with the knowledge of Hashem like the water covers the sea bed.” …
Is AI Coming From The Dark Side?
Advances in high-tech, including AI, raise many theological issues. … Pastor Mark Biltz of ElShaddai Ministries sees a dark power in AI which he characterizes as a tool for deception that could be manipulated in the hands of forces working against redemption. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/136109/did-bill-gates-recently-predict-the-fulfillment-of-words-of-the-prophet-isaiah/
No, I do not believe that Bill Gates comments are predicting the fulfillment of Isaiah 11:9. We will see, however, how God will have that millennial age prophecy fulfilled.
As far as knowledge prophecies, there are several in the Bible and I do believe some are supportive of computers. Notice something from the Hebrews scriptures, also known as the Old Testament:
4 … Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase. (Daniel 12:4)
Computers, followed by the internet and smart cellular telephones, have helped fulfill the above.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Is there a dark side?
Yes.
The reason is not the technology per se, the reason is that as human societies go more and more away from God’s standards of morality, they will use more things in a negative manner.
In both the Old and New Testaments, the Bible shows that a European dictator will rise up (Daniel 11:21-44; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-10; Revelation 17:12-13).
He will want to be worshiped as if he were God in the end times:
3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
He will be lawless and against the truth, and most of the world will be deceived:
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, (2 Thessalonians 2:9-13).
For more information on the ‘lawless one,’ check out the article Who is the Man of Sin of 2 Thessalonians 2?
The following New Testament scriptures support the view that to some degree, advanced computer software, which may or may not be considered as ‘artificial intelligence,’ will be used by the coming European Beast of the Sea dictator (Revelation 13:1-10) as well as his Beast of the Earth (Revelation 13:11) accomplice:
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
15 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.
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:11-18)
Notice that the Beast of the Earth gets the people who dwell on the earth to worship the other Beast. While he will likely have what will be some type of demonic-superpower (Revelation 16:13), it is possible that something like artificial intelligence will be used to get the image of the Beast to speak and to get those who will not worship the Beast to be killed. AI will likely be involved in forcing the Mark of the Beast.
Additionally, when it comes to controlling buying and selling, that was not possible before this digital age of the 21st century. That is something that computers will be involved in. Computer software is a type of artificial intelligence. And sometimes it is specific programing that is considered AI as well.
The forcing of worship under the penalty of death, the control of buying and selling, etc. is totalitarian control.
That is coming and AI appears to be part of it.
It will be in place no later than during the time of the Great Tribulation.
Humans, if left to their own devices, would end up annihilating all human life. But the Bible shows that God will intervene:
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)
Jesus will destroy totalitarian Beast power and his accomplice:
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Revelation 19:11-19)
That Beast power will be destroyed and the Kingdom of God will be established:
15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. 18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” (Revelation 11:15-18)
As far as AI goes, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following two videos on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to it:
Billionaire Elon Musk declared he was worried that artificial intelligence (AI) may lead to the rise of an “immortal dictator,” a “godlike” entity that could take over the world. Is this accurate, or at least, close in some ways? Does Bible prophecy foretell of the rise of an immoral leader who considers himself above all gods? Will this result in great destruction? What is AI? How might it fit in with various prophecies? Was the increase in technological knowledge we now have prophesied over 2000 years ago? Will 666’s control over buying and selling involve any form of AI? Dr. Thiel goes over many scriptures, including prophetic ones, that involve human knowledge–which is the basis of AI. He also points out that when various prophesies were made, there was no technology capable of fulfilling them, but that because of computers, such ability exists now. Dr. Thiel also points out what Jesus will do about it.

In 2016, the journal of Science published a paper that claims that crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence was the best way to deal with complex “wicked problems” like disease and climate change facing humanity. Is that possible or a false gospel? Is groupthink the answer? What does the Bible teach? What are real “wicked problems” and what does the Bible teach are real solutions?

Bible prophecy shows that a militaristic European dictator will arise and his supporters will apparently use something like AI.
This dictator will not love the truth and will work against all of God’s Ten Commandments (for details, check out the free online book: The Ten Commandments: The Decalogue, Christianity, and the Beast).
It is the despising of the truth and God’s law that is the real threat posed by the human use of AI.
