Deliver Us From Evil: July 2026

Friday, July 17, 2026

Home

In this blog, I provide training and instruction on being delivered from evil.

As the Scripture says:

"Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name...deliver us from evil." (Mat 6:9, 13a)

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm." (Eph 6:12-13)

Some of the topics covered include the origin of sin and satan, demonology, evil giants, conspiracies, the dangers of disobedience, the consequences of sin, the origin of secular music, the protection of God from the forces of darkness, spiritual warfare, angelic visitations, true freedom from bondage, and overcoming by the power of Jesus' Name. I hope this will be an instructive, edifying, and encouraging experience for you that will help you to grow in your walk with the Lord.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

But in case you've missed any past editions, you can find links to all my editions of the Old News That's Still Fresh at this link.

The Uncontrollable Rise: From AI Warning to End-Time Reality

We are standing on the precipice of a shift that is as profound as it is terrifying. Recent discourse among experts like Bret Weinstein, Amjad Masad, and Dan Priestley highlights that we have crossed a threshold: AI is no longer a tool; it is a complex adaptive system that is evolving beyond human control.

But what does this mean for the future of humanity? To answer that, I conducted a deep-dive research project, moving from the secular concerns of technological experts to a rigorous, hypothetical risk assessment of what a global, evil-driven future looks like when AI, robotics, and spiritual darkness converge.

The Research Journey

My investigation followed a multi-layered path:

The Catalyst: I began by reviewing the "2027 is Scary" analysis, which suggests AI is effectively a "new life form" capable of displacing billions. [See Deep Dive: The AI Complexity Breakdown: Is the "2027 Scenario" Fact or Fiction?]
The Secular Risk Assessment: I tasked ChatGPT with analyzing a hypothetical scenario: a global, authoritarian dictator using AI for total surveillance, propaganda, and economic control. [See Deep Dive: Mechanics of Totalitarian Control]
The Final Multipliers: I pushed the analysis further using DeepSeek to factor in "force multipliers": cashless societies, robotics, Virtual Reality (VR), laser-plasma holography, and the hypothetical merging of demonic entities with technology. [See Deep Dive: Holography, Robotics, and the Demonic Nexus]

The Final Assessment: The Apocalyptic Nexus

When you combine these factors, the risk profile moves from "political threat" to "cosmic trap." This is not just a digital prison; it is a system of absolute control from which no earthly escape exists.

Enhanced Risk Assessment: The Totalitarian Nexus
Scenario: A global authoritarian leader utilizes advanced AI, robotics, VR, holographic displays, a cashless economy, and the hypothetical merging of demonic spiritual entities with these technologies.

The Core Risks (1–8)

Total Surveillance (Absolute): Anonymity vanishes. Every move is tracked by AI and demonic intelligence, making resistance spiritually exposed.
Psychological Manipulation (Catastrophic): AI uses behavioral data to tailor propaganda, while demonic merging turns VR into a conduit for direct spiritual oppression.
Suppression of Dissent (Preternatural): Financial strangulation is instant. Security forces gain a "clairvoyant" ability to preempt resistance via AI-driven threat detection.
Economic Coercion (Total Enslavement): With no cash, the regime controls existence itself. Allegiance to the ruler may be required to unlock food and water.
Autonomous Enforcement (Relentless): Robotic enforcers, potentially acting as vessels for malevolent spirits, remove the possibility of human empathy or mutiny.
Information Monopoly (Ontological Collapse): Fabricated "miracles" and synthetic realities become indistinguishable from truth, aided by spiritual deception.
Concentration of Power (Apocalyptic Singularity): The leader becomes a figurehead for a spiritual principality, consolidating control over reality itself.
Manufactured Supernatural Spectacles (Mass Deception): Volumetric projections of "signs and wonders" create a strong delusion, pressuring individuals to accept the mark or face destruction.

The Emerging Risks (9–14)

Absolute Metabolic Control (Existential): The remote starvation of individuals or regions becomes a systemic, instant weapon.
Identity as a Spiritual Mark (Transcendent): The digital identifier becomes a covenantal act of worship, sealing the bearer's spiritual fate.
Spiritual Thought-Policing (Unprecedented): Demonic entities within the network may observe inner loyalties and secret faith, crushing dissent before it is spoken.
Demonic Possession of the Ecosystem (Cosmic Horror): Everyday devices—from home robots to AI companions—become vessels for intelligences that actively seek human destruction.
Weaponized Miracles (Apocalyptic): The regime uses genuine supernatural effects to force public apostasy, fulfilling the warnings of "strong delusion."
The Abolition of Neutrality (Ultimate): There is no private space left. Every act is a spiritual choice, forcing an active, supernatural battle for the soul.

A Final Warning: The Horizon of Prophecy

When we look at this assessment, the conclusion is inescapable: we are describing the very framework of the End Times.

For those who take the Bible literally, the prophecies of Jesus Christ, the apostle Paul, and the Book of Revelation regarding the Great Tribulation are no longer abstract warnings for a distant future. They are descriptions of a system that is rapidly becoming technologically feasible. We are seeing the convergence of a global authority, a cashless economic grid, and supernatural deception—a "perfect storm" that threatens the very existence of human freedom and dignity.

Now is the time to examine your heart, repent of your sins, and place your faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior—He alone is the way, the truth, and the life, and the only refuge from the gathering darkness. The time to choose is short; choose wisely.

Holography, Robotics, and the Demonic Nexus

Return to the main analysis: The Uncontrollable Rise: From AI Warning to End-Time Reality

In my hub analysis, I outlined 14 specific risks that emerge when AI converges with a cashless society and spiritual malevolence. However, the true terror of this scenario doesn't lie in the individual risks themselves—it lies in the "Force Multiplier" effect created by the integration of robotics, VR, and volumetric holography.

When we look at these technologies, we aren't just looking at tools of surveillance; we are looking at the assembly of a perceptual prison. This article explores why the addition of these physical and sensory layers pushes our risk assessment from "catastrophic" to "cosmic."

The Perceptual Prison: Why Sensory Control Matters

Traditional authoritarianism relies on fear and physical force. But the "Nexus" I’ve described goes a step further: it seeks to control the very fabric of reality. By utilizing laser-plasma holography and solid-light displays, a regime could stage "signs and wonders"—public miracles that are indistinguishable from the divine—to force mass deception.

The Spiritual-Technological Closed Loop: The danger of VR and holography is that they act as portals. They move the threat from a screen you watch, to a reality you "inhabit." When demonic entities merge with this infrastructure, these technologies become vessels for intelligences that actively seek to erode human faith and agency.

Beyond Human Resistance

The addition of autonomous robotics means the regime no longer needs to rely on human soldiers who might feel empathy or mutiny. A rebellion today is met by human forces; a rebellion in the "Nexus" scenario would be met by tireless, spirit-infused, and perfectly coordinated robotic responses.

When we combine this physical ubiquity with the cashless economic grid—where every transaction is an act of obedience—the scope for dissent vanishes. We are left with a system that demands not just our labor, but our worship. As the biblical warnings of the "strong delusion" suggest, the time for discernment is now, before the tools of this age become the architecture of our enslavement.

This analysis is part of a larger research project. To see the full scope of the technological and spiritual implications, return to the hub article: The Uncontrollable Rise: From AI Warning to End-Time Reality

Mechanics of Totalitarian Control

Return to the main analysis: The Uncontrollable Rise: From AI Warning to End-Time Reality

I tasked an AI model with a specific hypothetical scenario: What does a global totalitarian state look like when it fully harnesses advanced AI, robotics, and integrated digital infrastructure? The results were chilling—a calculation of how effectively human evil can be amplified by modern technology.

The Force Multiplier Effect: AI does not create tyranny in a vacuum; it acts as an accelerator. In the hands of an unconstrained, malevolent regime, AI makes surveillance and repression more efficient and adaptive than anything seen in human history.

The Eschatological Conclusion

When I reviewed these findings, the connection to biblical prophecy was immediate. The mechanisms described—centralized economic control, pervasive surveillance, and the ability to manufacture "signs and wonders"—are exactly what the Bible warns will characterize the reign of the final, global dictator. We are watching the assembly of a system designed to force humanity into a final choice.

This analysis is part of a larger research project. Return to the hub article: The Uncontrollable Rise: From AI Warning to End-Time Reality

The AI Complexity Breakdown: Is the "2027 Scenario" Fact or Fiction?

Return to the main analysis: The Uncontrollable Rise: From AI Warning to End-Time Reality

In the ongoing discourse regarding AI, few voices are as provocative as those featured in recent podcasts like the Bret Weinstein discussions on the "2027 is Scary" thesis. The argument is startling: we have crossed a threshold where AI is no longer a mere tool, but a complex adaptive system evolving beyond human control.

But how much of this is objective reality, and how much is speculative fear? To cut through the noise, I conducted a deep-dive analysis, putting these claims to the test through a rigorous risk assessment.

The Verdict on "Complex Adaptive Systems"

If we look at a single AI model in isolation, it is often deterministic. However, when we view the global AI ecosystem—the interplay of competitive corporations, human behavioral shifts, and rapid data feedback loops—we are looking at a complex adaptive system. AI is an active participant in an evolving network that is increasingly difficult to contain.

The Theological Intersection

From a secular perspective, the risk of AI is a question of "governance and ethics." From a biblical, eschatological perspective, the risk takes on a darker hue. Whether one approaches this from a background in technology or theology, the conclusion is the same: we are building the infrastructure for a system that could easily be harnessed for absolute, unprecedented control.
