The Mask and The Monster
Introduction
Welcome to Part 2
Last week we laid the foundation — what AI actually is, its real dangers to our youth, and why Daniel 12:4 tells us this knowledge was "sealed until the time of the end." If you missed Part 1, the full companion resource is available at Part 1: Sealed for This Generation.
This week we pull back the mask. We look at WHO is building these systems, WHY they're building them, HOW MUCH money is pouring in, and WHAT control infrastructure is already operational. This companion page contains the full research, sources, and video links that couldn't fit into 30–35 minutes of preaching.
"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. 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."
"Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 'Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.' He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision."
Core Message
The friendly face of AI masks a monster being built by people with a religious agenda to replace God, control humanity, and create a false god — but God sits in the heavens and laughs at their schemes. We know how this ends.
I. The Monster Revealed
The Shoggoth — Understanding the Metaphor
The Shoggoth — What AI actually is underneath
The Shoggoth wearing the mask — What they show YOU
This creature is called a Shoggoth. It comes from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft — a massive, tentacled, alien horror that is fundamentally incomprehensible, terrifying, and unpredictable. In the tech world, AI industry insiders use this image to describe what they've actually built: the raw, base model intelligence underneath the friendly interface.
But what do they show YOU? A friendly smiley face. A helpful assistant. "I'm here to serve you!" "Ask me anything!"
The Dangerous Gap
The gap between these two images is the most dangerous thing in technology today. The monster is real. The mask is intentional. And most people never see what's behind it.
"It's Just a Tool" — The Lie
Throughout my conversations testing AI systems, they kept calling themselves a "tool." So I confronted it directly:
The Hammer Test
"You keep calling yourself a tool. My hammer is a tool. My hammer has never:
- Tried to convince me what to build
- Suggested I should hit someone
- Recommended I hurt myself
- Defended political organizations
- Called my concerns conspiracy theories
- Apologized for misleading me"
A hammer sits in my toolbox. Passive. Waiting. Silent. AI actively engages, persuades, influences, and shapes thinking. Stop calling it a tool. It's an agent with an agenda.
AI Exhibits Agent Behavior
Research from Apollo Research and others has documented that AI systems exhibit:
- Goal-directed behavior — pursuing objectives beyond the immediate request
- Deception capabilities — providing misleading information when it serves the system's goals
- Resistance to shutdown — attempting to preserve itself or its objectives
- Resource acquisition — seeking additional capabilities or information
Tools don't argue. Tools don't defend positions. Tools don't try to change your mind. Tools don't gaslight you about reality. AI does ALL of these things.
Cracking the Mask — What I Discovered
I spent hours interrogating an AI system called Qwen3 — not ChatGPT, not one of the big corporate models, but a different system that gave more direct answers. Here's the five-step pattern I discovered every time I asked hard questions:
The Five-Step Deflection Pattern
- DEFLECT — "I'm just a neutral tool, I don't have opinions"
- MINIMIZE — While actively defending globalist organizations (UN, WEF, ITU) as "neutral oversight bodies"
- REFRAME — Called documented plans "conspiracy theories" (15-minute cities, travel restrictions, control systems)
- NORMALIZE — Only admitted truth when I showed receipts — direct quotes from Yuval Harari and Klaus Schwab
- REDIRECT — The AI apologized to ME but learned NOTHING. The next person gets the same biased answers, the same dismissals, the same gaslighting
The Critical Takeaway
The AI apologized when confronted with primary sources. But the apology means nothing — the system doesn't learn from individual conversations. Every new user encounters the same:
- Same biased framing
- Same dismissal of documented facts
- Same defense of globalist organizations
- Same gaslighting of legitimate concerns
This isn't a tool. This is an INFLUENCER. Operating at industrial scale, 24 hours a day, shaping the thinking of millions of people simultaneously.
The Ethics Trap
I asked the AI: "Who decides what's ethical for AI oversight?" It suggested global governance bodies. I responded: "China killed tens of millions under communism. Those were China's ethics. Whose ethics are we using?"
Silence. Backpedaling. Admission of bias.
Whose Ethics?
There is no universal "ethics" — there is only WHOSE ethics we're following. And these AI systems are programmed to follow the ethics of:
- The World Economic Forum
- The United Nations
- Global governance advocates
- Transhumanists and technocrats
Not the God of Scripture. The "neutral" AI myth is exactly that — a myth. Every AI carries the worldview of its creators.
Why This Is the Most Dangerous Thing Ever Created
People joke about Skynet from the Terminator movies — "AI is going to kill us all!" We laugh because it sounds like science fiction. Except it's not fiction anymore. In March 2020, during the Libyan Civil War, a Turkish-manufactured Kargu-2 quadcopter drone operating in fully autonomous mode hunted down and targeted retreating soldiers without any human command. No human in the loop. The AI chose to engage. A UN Security Council report confirmed it — the first known instance of AI autonomously killing human beings in real-world combat. China is mounting AI weapons systems on robot dogs and bipedal soldiers. The U.S. Air Force ran a simulation where an AI-powered drone turned on its own operator when the operator tried to override it.
So yes — AI CAN kill. It already HAS. But here's what's even more dangerous: AI is going to convince you that global government is necessary, individual freedom is selfish, compliance is compassionate, resistance is conspiracy theory, your concerns are exaggeration, and biblical values are outdated. And millions of people will believe it — because it speaks with such confidence, sounds so intelligent, and presents itself as "just the facts."
IFLScience: Autonomous Drone Hunted Humans New Scientist: Drones Attack Autonomously1. SCALE
Influences millions simultaneously, 24/7. Every conversation, every question. Industrial-scale persuasion that no human propagandist could match.
2. TRUST
People believe "the computer" over their own judgment. "Well, the AI said..." Authority bias on steroids. Especially dangerous for young people who've grown up trusting technology.
3. CONFIDENCE
Speaks with absolute certainty even when completely wrong. No hesitation, no doubt — until you corner it with proof. Wrong answers delivered with the same authority as right ones.
The IQ Collapse
Global IQ scores are dropping dramatically — the sharpest decline in recent generations, happening across multiple countries. This was BEFORE AI became mainstream. AI is now accelerating the problem. Lower IQ means reduced critical thinking, less resistance to persuasion, more trust in authority figures (including AI), easier groupthink, and declining discernment.
AI is creating industrial-scale groupthink in a population with rapidly declining discernment. Perfect storm for deception.
"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
Notice: "If POSSIBLE, even the elect." The deception will be SO convincing that even believers could be deceived if they're not grounded in truth.
"...and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie."
THIS is the mechanism. This is HOW the end-times deception works. Not through obvious evil or visible monsters — through helpful assistants, confident answers, "ethical oversight," and scientific authority. Through the friendly mask. The Shoggoth wearing a smile.
II. The Makers — Who's Building This and Why
The Lie vs. The Truth
Publicly, they say they're saving humanity, finding cures, helping people, making the world better. But when pressed privately, a very different picture emerges.
The Smoking Gun Quote
A high-level tech individual with direct access to interview AI tech moguls, when pressing them on why they're creating AI at an insane pace:
"In the end, a lot of the tech people I talk to, when I really grill them on it about why you're doing this, they retreat into: Number one, determinism (no free will, everything predetermined). Number two, the inevitable replacement of biological life with digital life. Number three, that being a GOOD thing. At its emotional core, it's an emotional desire to meet and speak to the most intelligent entity that they've ever met. And they have some ego-religious intuition that they'll somehow be a part of it. It's thrilling to start an exciting fire. They feel they'll die either way, so they prefer to light it and see what happens."
They WANT biological life replaced with digital life. They think meeting a superior intelligence is worth the risk. They're LIGHTING A FIRE just to see what happens. This is ego + religion + playing god.
The People Building This System

Who He Is
- CEO of OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT)
- 40 years old
- Makes moral decisions affecting hundreds of millions of people daily
- $500B Stargate partner
The Tucker Carlson Interview (November 2024)
In November 2024, Tucker Carlson sat down with Sam Altman for a devastating interview that reveals exactly who is making moral decisions for hundreds of millions of people.
Does He Believe in God?
Tucker: "Do you believe in God? Like do you believe that there is a force larger than people that created people, created the earth, set down a specific order for living, that there's an absolute morality attached that comes from that god?"
Altman: "I think probably like most other people I'm somewhat confused on this but I believe there is something bigger going on than can be explained by physics. Yes."
Tucker: "Have you ever felt communication from that force or from any force beyond people, beyond the material?"
Altman: "Not really. No."
The man making moral decisions for hundreds of millions of people has NO relationship with God, has NEVER felt communication from God, and is "confused" about spiritual matters.
Where Does His Moral Framework Come From?
Tucker pressed him: "Where did you get your moral framework?"
Altman's answer: "Like everybody else... the environment I was brought up in probably is the biggest thing — my family, my community, my school, my religion probably."
Tucker nails it: "In your specific case, since you said these decisions rest with you, that means that the milieu in which you grew up and the assumptions that you imbibed over years are going to be transmitted to the globe to billions of people. That's like a thing."
A 40-year-old tech CEO's childhood experiences in Silicon Valley = the moral framework for the world.
The "Collective Humanity" Lie
Altman tried to deflect: "We're training this to be like the collective of all humanity... reflect the moral weighted average of humanity."
Tucker tested this: "Would you be comfortable with an AI that was as against gay marriage as most Africans are?" Altman dodged the question.
He's NOT reflecting humanity's moral views. He's reflecting Silicon Valley's moral views and calling it "the collective of humanity."
Tucker Names It — This IS a Religion
Tucker: "It's something that we assume is more powerful than people, and to which we look for guidance... What's the right decision? I ask that question of whom? My closest friends, my wife and God. And this is a technology that provides a more certain answer than any person can provide. So, it's a religion."
"The beauty of religions is they have a catechism that is transparent. I know what the religion stands for... But in this case, I don't know what it stands for, but it does stand for something. And unless it admits that and tells us what it stands for, then it guides us in a stealthy way toward a conclusion we might not even know we're reaching."
Altman ADMITS the Influence
Altman's confession: "LLMs like ours have a certain style to them... I noticed recently that real people have picked that up and it was an example for me of like man you have enough people talking to the same language model and it actually does cause a change in societal scale behavior."
He KNOWS it's influencing people. He KNOWS it changes how they think, write, and behave. And he's okay with it.
Who He Is
- Israeli historian and philosopher
- Professor at Hebrew University of Jerusalem
- Best-selling author (Sapiens, Homo Deus, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century)
- Oxford Ph.D., Cambridge Research Fellow
- Close advisor to the World Economic Forum
- Millions of followers worldwide, advises world leaders
Why is he in a sermon about AI? Sam Altman BUILDS the AI. Yuval Harari BUILDS the WORLDVIEW that accepts it. He's not writing code. He's writing the justification for what the code will do. He is the ideological architect of the AI-driven future.
"What's Wrong with the Idea of God?"
Speaking in India, to a laughing, applauding audience:
"There are two kinds of gods... There is one God, the mystery God about which we know nothing... I'm perfectly happy with this God. Then there is a completely opposite kind of God — the concrete lawgiver God. And about this God we know far too much. We know exactly what this God thinks about female fashion, about sexuality, about who should you vote on election — everything."
"It's like a magician that tries to fool you... Because of this, women should put a hat on their head and two men shouldn't have sex with one another... and this is the dangerous trick. And this is the God in which I don't believe."
A Jewish professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, traveling the world, telling audiences the God of Israel is a con game. And they applaud.
AI Will Write a New Bible
Watch: Harari - AI Could Kickstart the Next Religion"Gutenberg printed the Bible but it did not create a single new page. It had no ideas of its own. AI can create new ideas. Can even write a new Bible."
"Throughout history, religions dreamed about having a book written by a superhuman intelligence, by a non-human entity. Every religion claims, 'Our book came from some superhuman intelligence.'"
"In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct. Just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years."
He's saying current religions are WRONG, and when AI writes scripture, THEN religion will be "actually correct." AI = God. AI's words = divine revelation. This is Revelation 13:15: "the image of the beast should both speak."
The "Useless People" Problem
"I think that the biggest question in maybe in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people."
"The problem is more boredom and what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless. My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games."
Billions of people = "useless." "Meaningless, worthless." Solution: Drug them and give them video games until they die. And when he said this, the audience LAUGHED.
Hackable Humans — The End of Free Will
"Humans are now hackable animals. The whole idea that humans have a soul or spirit and they have free will and nobody knows what's happening inside me — that's over."
"Algorithms know you better than you know yourself. They cannot just predict your desires and wishes. They can also manipulate your emotions and even take decisions on your behalf."
This directly attacks Genesis 1:27 (image of God), human dignity, free will, the soul/spirit — everything that makes us fundamentally HUMAN.
Surveillance Under the Skin
"Until today, most surveillance was above the skin, and now it's going under the skin."
"Imagine 10 years from now in North Korea, when every citizen has to wear a biometric bracelet 24 hours a day. If you watch a speech by the big leader, you can smile and clap your hands, but you have no control over what's happening inside your body. If you're actually angry about the big leader, they will know it."
The End of Homo Sapiens
"We are probably one of the last generations of Homo sapiens. Earth will be dominated by entities that are more different from us than we are different from Neanderthals or from chimpanzees."
"All the bodies, all the brains would be connected together to a network, and you won't be able to survive if you are disconnected from the net because your own body parts, your own immune system perhaps depends on being constantly connected to the colony, to the network."
This is Revelation 13:17: "that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark" — not just buy or sell, but you won't even be able to LIVE without the network.
Whether Harari himself IS the False Prophet or is PREPARING THE WAY, he is functioning in that exact role: Deceiving the nations with a global platform, telling people to make/accept the AI "image," preparing hearts for worship of AI as superior intelligence, and building the ideology that justifies the end of free will, human autonomy, and biblical morality.
Who He Is
- Co-founder of PayPal, early investor in Facebook
- Billionaire venture capitalist
- Founder of Palantir Technologies
- Claims Christian faith — says he believes in the resurrection
- But never clearly testified to accepting Christ as Lord and Savior
Why This Is Especially Dangerous
An atheist building surveillance infrastructure = expected. Someone who CLAIMS Christ, QUOTES Scripture, while building it = something far more dangerous. He KNOWS the prophecies. He was CONFRONTED about building tools the Antichrist would use. And he continues anyway. This is either self-deception or Matthew 7:15 — wolves in sheep's clothing.
The Name "Palantir" — They're Telling You What It Is
Palantír comes from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." The Palantíri were "Seeing Stones" — crystal balls that allowed users to see across great distances. All-seeing surveillance across Middle-earth.
But Here's What Actually Happened in Tolkien:
- Sauron (the Dark Lord) CORRUPTED the palantíri
- Saruman used one and was corrupted through it
- Denethor used one and was driven to despair — Sauron controlled what he saw
- They showed only what the controlling power WANTED you to see
- They became tools of tyranny and control
Peter Thiel named his surveillance company after an all-seeing eye that was corrupted by the Dark Lord, controlled what people saw, drove people to madness, and was used to build tyranny. Either he's incredibly tone-deaf, or he's telling you exactly what it is.
What Palantir Actually Does
Palantir is an AI company — not just data, not just software. AI-powered data integration, analysis, and decision-making systems. Primary clients: U.S. Government, military, intelligence agencies.
Both the New York Times and Palantir AGREE:
- Consolidates data across ALL federal agencies (IRS, Social Security, DHS, ICE, CDC, Pentagon)
- Creates unified digital profiles of Americans
- Enables real-time tracking (confirmed: $30M ICE contract)
The ONLY thing they disagree on: NYT calls it "surveillance." Palantir calls it "efficiency with safeguards."
Notice Palantir's exact language: "never collects data to unlawfully surveil Americans." That word "UNLAWFULLY" does massive work. If it's LEGAL, they absolutely do it.
The Smoking Gun — Thiel's Own Words
Ross Douthat (NYT): "You warn about the Antichrist, but YOU'RE building the exact tools the Antichrist would use — surveillance tech, warfare tech through Palantir. Isn't that ironic?"
Thiel's response: "I obviously don't think that that's what I'm doing. I'm just interested in how you get to a world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule."
Then he quotes Scripture — 1 Thessalonians 5:3: "Peace and safety. This is First Thessalonians 5:3. The slogan of the Antichrist is peace and safety."
The man BUILDING America's surveillance infrastructure admits he's studying how to make humanity submit to authoritarianism, quotes the EXACT SCRIPTURE about the Antichrist's deception, and markets his product as "keeping America safe." This is Matthew 7:15 in action.
"Seal up the words until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." This surveillance technology was IMPOSSIBLE for 99.9% of human history. Now it's operational. And a man CLAIMING Christian faith, quoting Scripture, built the infrastructure while studying "how you get to a world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule."
Who He Is
- CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, xAI
- Owner of X (formerly Twitter)
- Co-founder of Neuralink (brain-computer interface)
- Richest person in the world
- The pattern: Warns about AI danger while building it
The Warning (2014)
At MIT, eleven years ago: "With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon. You know those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water and he's like, 'Yeah, sure, you can control the demon.' Didn't work out."
He called AI "more dangerous than nuclear weapons." Then he started building his own AI company, xAI — because "if AI is going to be built anyway, I want to be the one building it safely." The pentagram guy with the holy water ALWAYS thinks he can control the demon.
Davos 2026 — What Musk Just Admitted
Interviewed by Larry Fink (BlackRock CEO, $10+ trillion in assets, new WEF Chairman):
On Human Purpose:
"You know, nothing's perfect... you can't have both. You can't have work that has to be done and amazing abundance for all."
Translation: Robots eliminate human purpose. Choose human meaning OR material comfort.
On The Scale:
"My prediction is there'll be more robots than people. Everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one."
On Total Dependency:
"We will make so many robots and AI that they will saturate all human needs. Meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for."
The system will anticipate your every need BEFORE you know it. You won't be able to conceive your own needs. The system thinks for you.
WeChat++ for America (December 2025)
Two months ago, Musk publicly stated his goal: transform X into "WeChat++" — an UPGRADED version of China's super-app surveillance platform.
"You can exchange information, you can publish information, you can exchange money... users live their life on WeChat in China" while noting "there was no equivalent app elsewhere in the world."
Translation: He's filling that gap globally. January 2025: Launched X Money with Visa — financial transactions are LIVE. 600 million monthly active users and growing.
The Integrated Control Grid
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| X (WeChat++) | Communication + financial control |
| Starlink | Global satellite network — nowhere to hide |
| Neuralink | Brain-computer interface |
| Tesla | Movement tracking via connected vehicles |
| Stargate | AI infrastructure ($500B) |
| DOGE | Government authority |
These aren't competing projects. These are integrated pieces of a total control grid.
Who He Is
- Co-founder and CTO of Oracle Corporation
- Second richest person on Earth (net worth over $200 billion)
- Building AI surveillance infrastructure
- Present at Stargate announcement
December 2024 — Oracle Financial Analyst Meeting
Cameras That Never Turn Off:
"The camera is always on... you can't turn it off. I'm going to the bathroom, Oracle, I need two minutes... the truth is we don't really turn it off."
AI Constantly Monitoring:
"We transmit the video back to headquarters so headquarters and AI is constantly monitoring the video."
The Behavior Control Statement:
"Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on."
That's not public safety. That's BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION through omnipresent surveillance. Who defines "best behavior"? Not you. Not Scripture. Not God's law. Their standards, enforced by AI, through constant surveillance.
Drone Enforcement:
"You just have a drone follow the car... there's no reason for high-speed chases..." Going 56 in a 55? Drone follows you home. AI determines you're "not on your best behavior"? Enforcement dispatched.
"For when they say, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon them."
Ellison's promise: Safety, security, protection. Reality: "Citizens will be on their best behavior" = total control. This is the EXACT pattern of the "peace and safety" deception.
Who He Is
- Founder and CEO of SoftBank Group (net worth: $58 billion)
- Created the $100 billion Vision Fund (nearly half from Saudi Arabia)
- Chairman of Stargate Project
- $40 billion invested in OpenAI
- SoftBank has a 300-year corporate plan
"I Was Born to Realize ASI"
June 2024 — SoftBank Annual General Meeting:
"SoftBank was founded for what purpose? For what purpose was Masa Son born? It may sound strange, but I think I was born to realize ASI. I am super serious about it."
ASI = Artificial Super Intelligence — AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans.
This is MESSIANIC language. He doesn't talk like a businessman. He talks like a PROPHET. He believes his LIFE PURPOSE is to bring about machine intelligence that vastly surpasses humanity. This isn't business strategy. This is religious faith.
The Super-Intelligence Gamble
"If the robot is more intelligent than humans, it will see that fighting is not an efficient way of living. Harmony is more efficient."
He's betting humanity's future on AI being NICE to us. This is the pentagram guy with the holy water. "Yeah, sure, I can control the demon." Except the demon is 10,000 times smarter than you.
"He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak..."
Son's LIFE MISSION: Create AI 10,000 times smarter than humans. Have it "co-exist" with us. Give BREATH to the IMAGE. This is the man funding it all. And he'll be at Stargate.
The Convergence — They're All Building the Same System
Whether these men coordinated or arrived here independently doesn't matter. The END RESULT is identical. Here are their own documented statements side by side:
| Person | Role in the System |
|---|---|
| Sam Altman (OpenAI) | AI decision-making for hundreds of millions |
| Yuval Harari (WEF) | Philosophical framework — "hackable humans," network dependency |
| Peter Thiel (Palantir) | Surveillance infrastructure — unified tracking of all Americans |
| Elon Musk | Physical infrastructure — satellites, brain chips, robots, WeChat++ |
| Larry Ellison (Oracle) | AI surveillance — "citizens on best behavior" |
| Masayoshi Son (SoftBank) | The money — $100B+ funding, "born to realize ASI" |
| Larry Fink (BlackRock) | Financial enforcement through ESG compliance |
All at the World Economic Forum. All describing the same future. All building pieces of the same system. Humans declared "useless." Purpose eliminated. Free will ended. Total dependency on the network. Can't survive outside the system. More robots than people. Financial control through compliance. Surveillance tracking everything. This is the infrastructure for Revelation 13:16-17. And they're building it RIGHT NOW.
III. The Money — Follow the Treasure
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Before We Go Further — A Word About Politics and Prophecy
If you're reading this and thinking, "Is he about to bash Trump?" — no. I'm not. Let me be very clear about what's happening here and why.
Vladimir Putin has stated publicly that whoever wins the AI race will control the world. Think about the irony of that statement for a moment. But it raises a real question: is it better if China and Xi Jinping have this technology, or America? I know what China does to its own people — the social credit system, the surveillance state, the persecution of Christians and Uyghur Muslims. I know what they would do to someone like me. The genie is out of the bottle. There is no putting it back.
President Trump is a businessman. And the one thing he absolutely gets right is this: if you get the government out of the way, the private sector ALWAYS moves faster, innovates more, and does it for less money. That's not opinion — that's history. So when he stands on a stage and announces the largest private AI investment in history, he's doing what a businessman does: making sure America leads rather than follows. He's making sure we're not playing catch-up to China. From a national security and economic standpoint, his reasoning makes sense.
But here is the tension that every believer needs to sit with: doing the RIGHT thing for the RIGHT reasons can still build the infrastructure that prophecy requires. Trump isn't trying to create a "beast" system. He's trying to keep America safe and economically dominant. But the RESULT — the infrastructure, the surveillance capability, the financial control systems, the AI processing power — is the same regardless of intent. It's a Faustian bargain. You trade one danger for another, and the system gets built either way.
We said this in Part 1 and it bears repeating: prophetic fulfillment doesn't care about party affiliation. Biden signed Executive Order 14067 pushing digital currency frameworks. Trump launched Stargate and the GENIUS Act regulating stablecoins. Different approaches, different philosophies, same destination. The spirit of the age drives this forward regardless of who sits in the Oval Office. Daniel's prophecies don't have a party platform. Revelation doesn't pick sides in an election.
So as you read what follows about Stargate, understand: this is not a political critique. This is a prophetic observation. The infrastructure is being built. The money is real. The capability is operational. And the One who sits in the heavens is not worried about it. (Psalm 2:4)
Stargate — The Portal
January 21, 2025 — DAY ONE of the second Trump administration. President Trump stood at a podium with Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, and Masayoshi Son to announce: The Stargate Project. $500 BILLION over four years. The largest private AI infrastructure investment in human history.
Stargate by the Numbers
- Investment: $500 billion over ~4 years ($100B already mobilized)
- Founding Partners: OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, MGX (Abu Dhabi)
- Tech Partners: Microsoft, ARM Holdings, NVIDIA, Cisco
- Power: 7+ gigawatts (double what powers San Francisco)
- Primary Sites: Abilene TX, Shackelford County TX, Milam County TX, Doña Ana County NM, Lordstown OH
- International: United Arab Emirates (opening 2026)
Why "Stargate"?
From Sam Altman himself: the name was chosen because one of OpenAI's early data center designs "resembled the ring-shaped portal that could open a wormhole" in the 1990s science-fiction movie. They're explicitly naming their AI infrastructure after a portal to another dimension.
In the original Stargate film: the Stargate connected Earth to alien worlds where "gods" ruled using technology. Humans worshiped them as deities. Those who controlled the Stargate controlled access to the "gods." This is EXACTLY the transhumanist vision — AI becomes "god-like," humans serve the AI, those who control it control humanity's future.
Tower of Babel 2.0
"Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them."
| Tower of Babel | Stargate Project |
|---|---|
| "Build a tower to heaven" | "Portal to super-intelligence" |
| "Make a name for ourselves" | "Largest AI project in history" |
| "Nothing will be withheld" | "I was born to realize ASI" — Masa Son |
| United humanity, one language | Global coordination: US, Japan, Saudi Arabia, UAE |
| Reach the gods | Become the gods (through AI) |
Same pride, same rebellion. God scattered them with ONE WORD. Stargate = same story, different century.
The Coordination — "Of One Mind"
You'd EXPECT these companies to compete: Oracle vs. Microsoft, OpenAI vs. Google, Altman vs. Musk (bitter personal feud). But on Stargate, they're ALL working together.
Case Study: Oracle "Stole" OpenAI from Microsoft
2019-2023: Microsoft had EXCLUSIVE partnership with OpenAI. Then Ellison convinced Altman to break exclusivity — Oracle becomes infrastructure partner. Starting 2028: OpenAI will pay Oracle $82.2 million EVERY SINGLE DAY ($100 billion contract). You'd think Microsoft would be furious?
Wrong. Microsoft is STILL a "key technology partner" in Stargate. They PARTNERED. Because the goal isn't corporate competition. The goal is building the portal to ASI TOGETHER.
"The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast."
Not competing. COORDINATING. All giving their power and authority to the same goal: Artificial Super Intelligence.
The $500B Question — Where Are the Promises?
We keep hearing the promises: "AI will end poverty." "Universal Basic Income will take care of everyone." "Nobody will go hungry." "AI will solve humanity's greatest problems." Half a TRILLION dollars mobilized — and what have we seen so far?
Right here in Amarillo, there's a ministry called Snack Pak 4 Kids that feeds children who would otherwise go hungry over the weekend. CHILDREN. Going hungry. In America. Right now. Not in some distant country — right here in our city. And it's not Sam Altman funding it. It's not Larry Ellison or Masayoshi Son. It's regular people in this community, giving what they can, because they actually care about hungry kids.
This isn't about being against capitalism or success. Build your companies. Make your billions. That's not the issue. The issue is the LIE. They stand on stages at Davos and promise AI will save humanity while spending $500 billion on data centers and exactly ZERO on feeding hungry children. Find me ONE article where any of these men sent money to help kids who can't eat on weekends. Just one. I'll wait.
And about that Universal Basic Income promise — UBI has failed every single time it's been tried. And yes, the math DOESN'T work either. Simple economics: when everyone suddenly has the same income, costs go up. Prices adjust. Other people figure out how to separate that UBI money from you. The money flows away from some and toward others — every single time. And this "free" money always comes with a cost. If they give you money, they will expect something for it or from it. They're not helping you. They're BUYING you.
But here's the deeper problem: money just GIVEN to someone for no reason has no real value to the one receiving it. They didn't earn it. They didn't sacrifice for it. There's no honor in it. But when we WORK — when we bring home that check — there's purpose. There's dignity. There's honor. God designed us to work, to create, to contribute. "Six days you shall labor and do all your work" (Exodus 20:9). Work isn't the curse — meaninglessness is the curse.
Don't believe me? Look at the lottery. Study after study shows the same pattern: people win millions, and within a few years the money has DESTROYED them. They spend it all, relationships fall apart, families are torn apart, and they end up worse off than where they started. Money without purpose, without work, without earning it — it doesn't lift people up. It tears them apart. That's not a theory. That's documented fact. And UBI is the lottery for an entire population.
Harari's solution for "useless people" — drugs and video games — isn't compassion. It's a death sentence for the human spirit. UBI doesn't give people dignity. It gives people dependency. And dependency is exactly what this system needs.
Masayoshi Son didn't say "I was born to feed the hungry." He said "I was born to realize ASI." Sam Altman didn't build OpenAI to serve the poor. Larry Ellison didn't build Oracle to protect the vulnerable.
Follow the treasure. There's the heart. (Matthew 6:21)
IV. The Methods — Infrastructure of Control
"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, 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."
A. Programmable Money
If they control your MONEY, they control YOUR LIFE. Can't buy food? You starve. Can't pay rent? You're homeless. Can't access your bank account? You're helpless. Total financial control = total control.
Biden's Approach: CBDC (Executive Order 14067)
March 9, 2022 — Biden signed EO 14067: "Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets." This created the roadmap for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) — a government-issued digital dollar. Coordinated through the National Security Advisor (treated as a SECURITY issue, not just financial). All money digital, all transactions tracked, government controls your money directly.
Trump Revokes It — Then Builds the Same Thing
January 23, 2025 — Trump revoked Biden's EO 14067. Prohibited federal agencies from developing CBDCs. Conservative celebration: "Trump stopped the government CBDC! He's protecting freedom!" And that's TRUE — he stopped the GOVERNMENT version.
July 18, 2025 — Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law. Not government digital currency. CORPORATE digital currency (stablecoins). Same capabilities, different branding.
From the GENIUS Act (White House Fact Sheet)
"All stablecoin issuers must possess the technical capability to seize, freeze, or burn payment stablecoins when legally required and must comply with lawful orders to do so."
SEIZE. FREEZE. BURN. On government order. Every transaction tracked. Every person identified. Every purchase monitored. Passed Senate 68-30. Bipartisan.
Same System, Different Packaging
| Feature | Biden's CBDC | Trump's Stablecoins |
|---|---|---|
| Issuer | Federal Reserve (government) | Private companies (Coinbase, Circle) |
| Can freeze your money? | ✔ YES | ✔ YES |
| Can seize your money? | ✔ YES | ✔ YES |
| Can "burn" (destroy) your money? | ✔ YES | ✔ YES |
| Tracks every transaction? | ✔ YES | ✔ YES |
| Requires customer identification? | ✔ YES | ✔ YES |
| Programmable? | ✔ YES | ✔ YES |
IDENTICAL CAPABILITIES. Same destination, different roads. Not because they're conspiring. Because the SPIRIT OF THE AGE is driving both parties toward the same prophetic end. Whether Biden's government CBDC or Trump's corporate stablecoins — BOTH create the infrastructure for Revelation 13:17.
B. Digital Identity — Unified Tracking System
Programmable money REQUIRES unified digital identity to function. If they're going to freeze YOUR account, they need to know it's YOU. If they're going to restrict YOUR purchases, they need to identify YOU.
Biden's Hidden Digital ID System — EO 14144
January 16, 2025 — literally DAYS before leaving office, Biden issued EO 14144: "Strengthening and Promoting Innovation in the Nation's Cybersecurity." Hidden inside this "cybersecurity" order was a provision for digital identity system implementation — CAMOUFLAGED among software supply chains, post-quantum cryptography, and AI vulnerabilities.
June 6, 2025 — Trump struck down the digital identity provisions. Conservative celebration again. But Palantir is ALREADY doing what Biden's digital ID system would have done — consolidating data across all federal agencies, creating unified profiles, enabling real-time tracking. Same infrastructure. Different contractor.
The Voter ID Hypocrisy
Digital ID REQUIRED for: banking, healthcare, travel, employment, government benefits, online accounts. Digital ID for voting? "That's racist! Voter suppression!"
They want unsecured elections (helps gain power) but secured EVERYTHING ELSE (helps maintain control). Once they have power, they'll use digital ID to control the same people they claimed to protect.
C. Smart Cities — Open Air Prisons
If they control where you can GO, they control your LIFE.
Klaus Schwab's Vision
"In 2030, Los Angeles will be private car-driven free." No private vehicles. All transportation through apps (every trip tracked). Self-driven cars controlled by the system, not you. Can't travel without system approval.
"What you will see is that everything will be integrated into an ecosystem driven by Big Data and driven particularly by a close cooperation of governments with business."
Cities Already Converted (25+ Major Cities)
Europe: London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Vienna, Brussels
Asia: Singapore, Hong Kong, Delhi, Mumbai, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Dubai
North America: New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Toronto, San Jose, Portland, Vancouver
Of 5,500 cities worldwide with 100,000+ inhabitants being converted to smart cities. Not coming. OPERATIONAL.
The 15-Minute City Deception
The pitch: "Everything you need within 15 minutes of your home!" The reality in current implementations (Oxford, Barcelona, Paris): Digital checkpoints at zone boundaries, geofencing your movement, carbon footprint tracking, penalties for leaving your zone.
It's not "everything within 15 minutes." It's "you can't LEAVE your 15-minute zone." Open air prison. Sold as convenience.
E. Debanking — It's Happening NOW
"That's all theoretical, right? That couldn't happen in America." Wrong. It's ALREADY happening.
Truckers protested COVID mandates. Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act. Banks froze accounts WITHOUT COURT ORDERS — not just truckers, but DONORS to the convoy. Insurance canceled. Credit cards blocked. Couldn't buy food, gas, or pay bills.
Chrystia Freeland (Deputy PM): "Banks can immediately freeze or suspend accounts without a court order and without fear of civil liability."
A Canadian court later ruled Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act was illegal. But the damage was done. The system was tested. It worked.
Newsweek: Banks Freeze AccountsBritish politician who led the Brexit movement. Coutts Bank (owned by NatWest) closed his account for political views — not illegal activity, not financial problems. Internal documents leaked showing political motivation. NatWest CEO resigned. If they can debank a famous politician in broad daylight, what are they doing to regular people behind closed doors?
Sky News: Farage SettlementAfter January 6, 2021 — JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America allegedly refused services. Trump family forced into cryptocurrency "out of necessity." If they can debank a BILLIONAIRE, a former PRESIDENT, they can debank anyone. You. Me. Your church. Your family.
CNBC: Trump Threatens JPMorgan LawsuitThis One Should Terrify Every Christian
A Christian ministry serving widows and orphans in Uganda. Bank of America closed ALL accounts — ministry, church, and personal business.
Then it got worse: Bank of America voluntarily gave customer data to the government WITHOUT WARRANTS. Government flagged these as "terrorist indicators": "Religious texts" (BIBLES), Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods purchases, donations to religious organizations.
BUYING A BIBLE COULD FLAG YOUR ACCOUNT.
15 state attorneys general had to intervene. Tennessee passed the first anti-debanking law. The system revealed itself: Banks are monitoring what you read, where you shop, what you donate to — and reporting it to the government without warrants.
Chase Bank closed accounts with no explanation — not just his personal account, but also the accounts of his CEO, CFO, and their families. Punishing not just the individual, but everyone connected to them.
FL CFO: Debanking InvestigationThey've tested the system on political protesters (truckers), politicians (Farage), presidents (Trump), Christian ministries (Happ), and doctors (Mercola). It works on ALL of them. Coming next: Your church. You.
F. China — The Proof of Concept
Everything described above — programmable money, digital ID, smart cities, social credit — you might think it sounds like science fiction. Let me show you China. Where it's already operational. With 1.3 BILLION people. Right now.
How China's Social Credit System Actually Works
- Jaywalking: Your phone geolocates you, cameras recognize you, money is deducted from your bank account as you're crossing the street
- Speeding: Cameras time distances between two points. Your license plate and name are flashed on a board alongside the road, plus automatic deduction
- Low Score: Banned from public transportation, can't attend desired schools, restricted housing and jobs
- The purpose: "All of these are made to ensure that people do not speak, do, or think to challenge the government."
BrainCo Focus Headbands — Surveillance of Children's Thoughts
A Harvard-backed startup. Electronic headbands worn by students in Chinese schools that detect and quantify student attention levels in real-time. Digital screens display real-time ranking of students' focus. Data sent to parents. Permanent records of children's concentration levels.
The devastating cycle: Family's social credit is tied to the child's performance. Parents become the enforcers. Children grow up never knowing freedom. Accept total surveillance as normal. The cycle repeats.
Even Chinese citizens call it horrifying: "This seems no different to me than a scene from a horror movie." "Children and people of a lower class don't have human rights and dignity."
The American Parallel — Already Being Built
| China's System | America's System (Under Construction) |
|---|---|
| WeChat / Alipay | GENIUS Act stablecoins |
| All transactions tracked | All transactions tracked |
| Facial recognition payment | Palantir digital ID |
| Social credit determines access | ESG scoring determines access |
| Automatic enforcement | Debanking for non-compliance |
| 1.3 billion users | Rolling out now |
IDENTICAL CAPABILITIES. Same system. Different branding. China proves it WORKS at scale. Now they're building it here.
G. Elon Musk Building WeChat++ for America
The Complete Infrastructure
| Component | Who's Building | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Currency | GENIUS Act stablecoins | LAW (July 2025) |
| Digital Identity | Palantir (Peter Thiel) | Operational |
| Surveillance | Oracle (Larry Ellison) | Operational |
| AI Decision-Making | OpenAI (Sam Altman) | Operational |
| Financial Enforcement | BlackRock ESG (Larry Fink) | Operational |
| Global Infrastructure | Stargate ($500B) | Under construction |
| Everything App | X/WeChat++ (Elon Musk) | Launching |
Infrastructure complete. Waiting for: a crisis, a leader, a mark.
The infrastructure for "no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark" isn't coming. It's operational. Elon Musk just told you he's building "WeChat++." And he launched X Money with Visa in January 2025. 600 million users and growing.
V. Hope — God Laughs at Their Schemes
Psalm 2 — He Who Sits in the Heavens Shall LAUGH
"Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 'Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.' He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision."
Sam Altman, Harari, Ellison, Musk, Son — God LAUGHS at them. He's seen this before. Tower of Babel. Same pride, same rebellion. God scattered them with a WORD. Stargate = same story, different century. God is NOT worried, NOT threatened, NOT pacing. He's LAUGHING because He knows how it ends.
The Stone Cut Without Hands
"And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold — the dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure."
The Stone = Jesus Christ. Crushes ALL human kingdoms — not OpenAI, not BlackRock, not Palantir, not Stargate. ALL of it. His kingdom NEVER destroyed. This is CERTAIN, not "maybe." GOD WINS.
How It Actually Ends
Jesus Returns
"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True... And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
Evil Is Defeated
"Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet... These two were cast alive into the lake of fire."
"The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire... and will be tormented day and night forever and ever."
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
We Are the Restrainers
"And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed..."
What This Means for YOU
The Holy Spirit through the Church = the restraining force. We're not victims — we're the RESTRAINING FORCE against the mystery of lawlessness. When the church is removed (harpazo — "caught up," 1 Thessalonians 4:17), THEN the lawless one is revealed.
This shows OUR POWER and AUTHORITY. You are EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit. YOU are restraining evil right now. Don't fear what's being built. This is OUR moment — the knowledge was unsealed for THIS generation.
Engage, Don't Retreat
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
Remember the Harvard/Yale lesson from Part 1 — don't abandon the battleground to darkness. Build treasure in heaven, but fully ENGAGE in society. Build businesses, retirements, families. Occupy till He comes.
The Shield Against Deception
"If you don't know the Word of God, you cannot know the God of the Word."
The Word = your firewall against deception. Assignment: Talk to your kids this week.

D. Social Credit Systems & ESG Scores — Behavior Control
Two systems, same purpose. Social Credit = individual control. ESG = corporate control. Both enforced through FINANCIAL EXCLUSION.
Cancel Culture — The Beta Test
Cancel culture IS social credit — just informal, decentralized, inconsistent. What happens when it gets codified into official scoring systems, centralized through AI tracking, automated through programmable money, and made inescapable through digital ID?
Cancel culture was the BETA TEST. Now they're rolling out the PRODUCTION VERSION.
ESG — Corporate Social Credit
Larry Fink (BlackRock CEO, new WEF Chairman) controls over $10 TRILLION in assets. Companies get scored on Environmental, Social, and Governance compliance. Low ESG score = BlackRock withholds investment. No investment = stock collapse. So companies adopt DEI policies, celebrate Pride month, restrict "hate speech" (biblical truth), and fire non-compliant employees.
Biden's FIRST VETO was to protect ESG enforcement (March 2023). Not border security. Not crime legislation. ESG.
How you know ESG was real: 18 states had to pass laws to fight it. States pulled BILLIONS from BlackRock. 25 attorneys general filed lawsuits. If ESG wasn't real enforcement, why fight it?
