Some World News In Relation to Biblical Prophecy ── August 15

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is continuing to be in our news cycle. There are concerns that AI may be used to create biological diseases as well as chemical weapons (see: Real Clear Wire - AI Can Be Used To Develop Biological and Chemical Weapons). 

The very use of AI to develop and create biological, chemical, or other weapons of mass destruction is certainly no surprise. AI pestilences and other forms of synthetic biological creations are of great concern. 

The United States of America and other nations are involved in biological research and the development of pathogenic microorganisms. The US and many others claim that the research and development are purely for peaceful purposes ── and all is under control. 

And, as we found out with COVID-19, it’s not difficult to turn biological pathogens into weapons. And, let me add: the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, in an update on the origin of COVID-19, does state, “China’s cooperation most likely would be needed to reach a conclusive assessment of the origins of COVID-19.” Also claiming, “SARS-CoV-2 Probably Not a Biological Weapon. We remain skeptical of allegations that SARS-CoV-2 was a biological weapon because they are supported by scientifically invalid claims, their proponents do not have direct access to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), or their proponents are suspected of spreading disinformation.” 1 Now, this assessment, however, is based upon information through August 2021 – under the Harris/Biden Administration. However, as the Iranian Journal of Public Health asked in their assessment in a 2020 letter, “Is it reasonable that if WIV has this virus, admit it?” and “If a country makes a genetic change and uses it as a weapon, does it announce?” 2 Certainly two legitimate questions. Does the word “plausible deniability” come to mind? 

Many nations certainly have dangerous biological agents that they could use as biological weapons of mass destruction. It’s not logical to conclude that AI development will stop anytime soon ── or even that it’s not occurring.

We should remember the living words of our Savior, Jesus Christ ── warning us that one of the “signs” of His glorious and powerful return would include ‘pestilences’ – ‘troubles.’ 

“ … ‘ And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginning of sorrows.’” – Mark 13:8.

“’ And there will be GREAT EARTHQUAKES in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven [here, being outer space].’” – Luke 21:11.

Biological weapons can certainly be called ‘pestilences.’

Also, let us take note: The 6th chapter of the Book of Revealing – of the Apocalypse. What is known as the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” ──

“When He [our Lord Jesus] opened the FOURTH SEAL, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, ‘Come and see.’ 8) So I looked, and behold, a PALE HORSE. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades [the grave] followed with him. …” – Revelation 6:7-8.

So, by our Lord Jesus Christ breaking this fourth seal, the pale horse of death greatly increases from diseases. 

Can mankind unintentionally ── and even intentionally ── cause a massive outbreak of deadly diseases? Well… does this question need to be asked? 

As an example, what about the United States conducted extensive atomic bomb testing in the Pacific Islands, particularly in the Marshall Islands, from 1946 to 1962, resulting in significant environmental and health impacts? Impacts that are still felt today. Cancer cases attributed to atomic bomb testing in the 1940s have been studied, particularly in New Mexico, where radioactive fallout from the first atomic bomb detonation in 1945 is believed to have caused some cancer cases. 3

Indeed, AI-developed biological pathogens are a real threat to the whole world.

Like the pardoned Anthony Fauci ── we shouldn’t just immediately trust a scientist who says, ‘ALL IS WELL!’ And, true to form, Fauci used his final press briefing to strongly encourage Americans to get COVID vaccines and booster shots! The largest global vaccine safety study has linked COVID-19 vaccines with small increases in health conditions involving the brain, blood, and heart. 4

“ … Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. …” – Romans 3:4.

IN CANADA ── the euthanasia machine is overloaded as demand skyrockets! (See: SLAY - Canada’s Euthanasia Machine Overloaded as Demand for Death Skyrockets).

Sadly, just this past spring, the Canadian government reportedly made it easier to be assisted with suicide than to receive health assistance. 

‘I could live 30 years – but plan to die’: Has assisted dying in Canada gone too far? 

April Hubbard sits on the theatre stage where she plans to die later this year. 

She is not terminally ill, but the 39-year-old performance and burlesque artist has been approved for assisted dying under Canada’s increasingly liberal laws. … 

She’s been taking strong opioid painkillers for more than 20 years and applied for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in March 2023. While she could yet live for decades with her condition, she qualified to end her life early, seven months after applying. For those who are terminally ill, it is possible to get approval within 24 hours. …

Critics say Canada is an example of the “slippery slope”, meaning that once you pass an assisted dying law, it will inevitably widen its scope and have fewer safeguards. 

Canada now has one of the most liberal systems of assisted dying in the world, similar to that operating in the Netherlands and Belgium. It introduced Maid in 2016, initially for terminally ill adults with a serious and incurable physical illness, which causes intolerable suffering. In 2021, the need to be terminally ill was removed, and in two years’ time, the Canadian government plans to open Maid to adults solely with a mental illness and no physical ailment. 

Opponents of Maid tell us that death is coming to be seen as a standard treatment option for those with disabilities and complex medical problems. 

“It is easier in Canada to get medical assistance in dying than it is to get government support to live,” says Andrew Gurza, a disability awareness consultant and friend of April’s. …

There were 15,343 Maid deaths in 2023, representing around one in 20 of all deaths in Canada – a proportion that has increased dramatically since 2016 and is one of the highest in the world. … 

Dr Ramona Coelho, a GP in London, Ontario, whose practice serves many marginalized groups and those struggling to get medical and social support. She’s part of a Maid Death Review Committee, alongside Dr Trouton, which examines cases in the province. 

Dr Coelho told me that Maid was “out of control”. “I wouldn’t even call it a slippery slope,” she says, “Canada has fallen off a cliff.”

In fact, there are Canadian government ads glorifying suicide! Like the ‘All is Beauty’ video ad, launched by La Maison Simons. If you decide to click the link and watch, viewer discretion is advised. Which, by the way, I refuse to watch. 

What is happening in Canada – is EVIL.

Suicide ── in any form or reason ── is against the LORD God! 

The LORD God commands all mankind ── 

“’ You shall not murder.’” – Exodus 20:13.

The Apostle Paul – under divine inspiration from God ── says that men came to “not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a [reprobate] mind, to do those things WHICH ARE NOT FITTING; 29) being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30) backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31) undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32) WHO, KNOWING THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OF GOD, that those who practice such things ARE DESERVING OF DEATH, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” – Romans 1:28-32. 

Yes, those who do not want to retain God in their knowledge end up with a reprobate mind ── in Greek, adokimos, meaning “failing the test, rejected, castaway.” 5 ── doing those things that are not proper, including self-murder, and being inventors of evil things, i.e., abortion and human euthanasia. Euthanasia, basically, is a form of intentionally poisoning a person, causing death. IT IS A SIN AGAINST THE LORD GOD – the CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND OF EARTH! 

The late American pathologist and euthanasia proponent, Jack Kevorkian (and to call him a doctor would be ethically wrong!) championed for physical-assisted suicides – and assisted in several suicides. On November 25, 1998, Kevorkian was charged with first-degree murder and the delivery of a controlled substance and was subsequently found guilty of second-degree homicide, receiving 10–25 years in prison. Sadly, “Death with Dignity” is legal in 11 US states – including the District of Columbia.

This present evil age is all about their lusts and desires. They do not understand the glorious Master Plan… From the Beginning, that Almighty God has for them. They are among those who believe they “have no hope” – 1 Thessalonians 4:13. My friend, you do not have to be ignorant concerning life and death. 

Suicide is never the answer. 

Suicide is wrong, whether a government is involved or not. 

God’s living word ── 

“’ Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins.’” – Isaiah 58:1. 

Human euthanasia is a transgression against the LORD God that we are denouncing!             

If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, please seek help. You're not alone. Help is available. If you are experiencing difficult thoughts, call 988.
