The Great Prostitute & The Beasts

"This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast."
(Revelation 13:18)

The Mystery of the Woman

"The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth." (Rev 17:18)

Historically linked to Jerusalem—the "great city" where our Lord was crucified (Rev 11:8). Once the holy center of faith, it is depicted here as a system that has aligned itself with worldly powers.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,

who murders the prophets and stones [to death] those [messengers] who are sent to her [by God]! How often I wanted to gather your children together [around Me], as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. (Matthew 23:37)

A Hint of Artificial Intelligence?

"The second beast was given power to give breath to the image... so that the image could speak."
(Rev 13:14-15)

In today's world, we see technology capable of giving "breath" and "voice" to images. Could this ancient prophecy be warning us of a future where AI and robotics are used to enforce and control global commerce?
