AI & the Latter Days / John 18 The Sufferings of Christ and What They Mean for Us

This video, titled "AI & the Latter Days / John 18 The Sufferings of Christ," is a sermon delivered by Keith Baldwin of DenverGrace Church, which is divided into a prophecy update on artificial intelligence and a detailed exegetical study of John chapter 18. I. Prophecy Update: AI and the Latter Days: The first part of the discussion focuses on the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential implications regarding end-times prophecy: AI and Necromancy: The discussion is prompted by a clip featuring an AI-generated avatar of a deceased grandmother [01:24]. The speaker finds this "creepy" and a question of what is real [03:07]. He connects this technology to the Biblical prohibition against consulting with familiar spirits and necromancy, citing Deuteronomy 18:10-12 [03:14]. Accelerating Progress: Citing Daniel 12:4, the speaker connects the increase in knowledge and travel to the "time of the end" [05:10]. He highlights that Moore's law (computing speed doubling yearly) has been replaced by Kurzweil's law of accelerating returns, predicting that AI capacity could double every few months [06:47]. Inaccuracy and Influence: The speaker notes that Google AI admits to "hallucinations" (outputs that are plausible but factually incorrect or fabricated) [09:26]. He concludes that while AI systems may not be possessed by demons (as they lack a soul), their answers are influenced by fallen angelic powers because they draw indiscriminately from the world system ("polluted sources") [01:13:07]. Transhumanism and Revelation: The video discusses transhumanists who envision technologies like Neuralink (Elon Musk's brain-computer interface) merging with the mind [01:16:07]. This is linked to the "image of the beast" in Revelation 13 [01:14:41], though the speaker states his personal view is that the Mark of the Beast must be genetic, spoiling a person's capacity to image God [01:17:57]. What AI Cannot Do: The segment concludes with a brief discussion on the limitations of AI, noting it can imitate, but cannot love, have a soul, or possess spiritual understanding [01:09:04]. II. John 18: The Sufferings of Christ: The second portion is a study of John 18, detailing the trials and beatings Christ endured: The Arrest in Gethsemane: Judas came to the garden with a speira, a tenth of a Roman legion (approximately 600 men), plus the temple guard, showing the enormous fear of Christ's power [01:21:11]. When Jesus declared, "I Am" (Ego Eimi), the entire band of 600 soldiers fell backward to the ground [01:23:49]. When Peter cut off the ear of Malchus (the high priest's servant), Jesus healed him (recorded in Luke's Gospel), which removed all evidence of Peter's capital crime [01:26:17]. The Trials: Annas: Jesus was first taken to Annas, the "godfather" who was the real power behind the high priesthood [01:28:36]. During this trial, an officer struck Jesus [01:34:54]. Caiaphas & Temple Guard: Jesus was then sent to Caiaphas (Annas's son-in-law). Before the Sanhedrin, the temple guard beat and mocked Jesus, blindfolding him and demanding he prophesy who struck him. The speaker connects this abuse to the prophecy in Isaiah 52:14 [01:37:34]. The Trials Before the Romans (Pilate and Herod): Pilate (Fourth Trial): Jesus was brought to Pontius Pilate, whom the Jewish leaders would not follow into the judgment hall for fear of ceremonial defilement on the Passover [01:46:43]. Jesus confirmed to Pilate that He is a King, but His kingdom is not of this world [01:50:33]. Barabbas Chosen: Pilate found no fault in Jesus but was politically pressured when the mob chose to release the murderer and insurrectionist Barabbas instead of Jesus [01:52:08]. Herod (Fifth Trial): Pilate briefly sent Jesus to Herod Antipas (ruler of Galilee) to shift jurisdiction, but Jesus refused to speak a word to Herod, who was only seeking a "magic trick" [01:57:33]. The Scourging: Pilate had Jesus scourged, put a crown of thorns and a purple robe on him, and presented him to the crowd with, "Behold the man." (Ecce Homo) [01:59:43]. The speaker uses the Shroud of Turin (which he believes is authentic, citing recent datings of 300 BC to 400 AD and 2,000 years, correcting a faulty Middle Ages carbon-dating test) as forensic evidence to detail the Lord's suffering [01:40:07]. The Shroud evidences over 700 wounds from the Roman flagrum (a whip with bone, metal, and hooks) [02:02:07]. The speaker concludes the beating was excessive because the Roman soldiers were demonized ("strong bulls of Bashan" from Psalm 22) [02:01:29]. Conclusion: The segment concludes by affirming that Christ, the unblemished Lamb, endured all these physical and spiritual sufferings (including the Father forsaking the Son) out of love, and as a substitutionary act for humanity's sins [02:04:30].
