In our society today, where do we see ourselves in five years or even ten? With all of the advancements in artificial intelligence in the past two or three years…will there even be a human race left in a decade and if so, how will our society look at that time?

God is still in control, regardless of the advance of technology and how swiftly it is moving to supplant humans and our own cognitive ability by dumbing us down when we rely on some AI bot to teach us and inspire us and in some cases “be our friend”. Society will change rapidly and in the wrong direction if we allow AI to become our counselor.

What will become of humanity in the next decade? Only God knows for sure. According to some pundits, AI will either bring unrivaled health and advances in medicine or it will be used against us, maybe not in a militaristic way, but just as our replacement in the job market. Then how will we live?

It is a question that was part of the book 1984 and it is scary and humbling in the extreme. The best and most anticipated event for me is the calling of the church to go to heaven. Yes, it is called the rapture but that word isn’t found in the Bible. The wording in the Bible refers to snatching away or in some chapters it is “taken to the third heaven”. Either way, I’m looking forward to that most of all.

God loves us regardless of our intent of embracing technology more than we do His Son. I pray that many of you will seek Jesus as your Savior soon because the world will get more dangerous after the Holy Spirit is taken to heaven with the church. Please, don’t wait. We are not guaranteed to have tomorrow so make sure you know Jesus as your Savior.
