It is a fact, lawlessness, as noted in the title scripture, in context and as Biblically defined… means “without law,” and more specifically it means without Yahweh’s (GOD’S) law [Torah].

God's (YHWH'S) love for man… can never grow cold.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” jn 3:16-21 kjv

Note here, “he that doeth truth,” is talking about action… not just thinking about doing truth; nor just having knowledge of truth… It is my thinking that those “doing truth,” in today’s culture, are perceived to be quite odd; swimming upstream against the current wold be a good analogy. It is my general observation that most people don’t like truth, because of the “light” that it shines upon their darkness, makes them uncomfortable.

Now, because we are known to YHWH as “frames made of dust,” (Ps 103:14), and because of our failures as disobedient children, and because YHWH knows all about us and our helpless and hopeless condition… Because of His unfathomable love for us, He provided salvation to us in Yeshua, as the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. As the redeemed, saved by grace through faith, it is very important for us to take YHWH seriously and get our lifestyles adjusted to His definition of “words” and what they mean and how we should adjust our opinions and thinking to live faithfully to His Torah and His Messiah, Yeshua… and by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit; this can be done if we are truly “sons of God, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Rom 8:1-14).

Why are “love” and “truth” so important? Truth cannot be defeated, it is relentless, and in the end it will always prevail… even if it takes until the day of judgment. I think love somehow flows out of truth as a natural dynamic. It is how Yahweh made us [in HIS image]. So if we walk in truth we reflect the image of Yeshua, and thereby love Yahweh and others as faithful Sons of God, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

I recently looked into the AI [artificial intelligence] subject of ChatGPT. Those of you who know me, know I tinker with technology enough to be dangerous. Since this amazing technology tweaked my interest… I decided to listen to a two hour interview featuring the CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman (boy genius for sure from childhood), brilliant, and certainly intelligent and seriously on his game in his business… my comments following are not to criticize Altman or others in his venue. I simply wish to mention the way they verbalize their view of things, and the vector of their agenda. Business Insider website, reports that he is openly gay and quite an entrepreneur. They quoted Altman in the New Yorker saying: "Growing up gay in the Midwest in the two-thousands was not the most awesome thing," he told The New Yorker. "And finding AOL chat rooms was transformative. Secrets are bad when you're eleven or twelve."

I don’t know that the internet experience influenced Altman’s sexual orientation or any of his other persuasions about morals, culture, life/death issues, financial and social equality… etc. However, one would expect his many diverse ideas and opinions (perhaps even convictions, whatever they may be) could have been influenced by his youthful, early years “online.” I think he is sincere in “his” beliefs; tragically, to me, they seem to have their roots in the fleshly and ideological carnal mind that resembles secular humanism. I said all that to say this; It is people like him who will likely be influencing our near and distant future “everyday” life, and the full spectrum of life’s challenges and experiences.

The AI expansion [invasion] into our lives will grow exponentially. It is hard to envision the picture of society five years out, and unimaginable ten years out. Remember two problems exist; first, the “brain” of AI will be built by its “programmer,” think Altman or likewise. Second, at some point, its capacity will likely evolve into self-awareness (think anti-Christ influence), and the “programmer” will not be a man of limitations like Altman… who do you think that may be?

This AI (creation of a unity mind/society) is not new… remember Nimrod and the Tower of Babel? (gen 11 kjv)

My observations lead me to expect that “truth” from Yahweh’s perspective will be obliterated from anyone who is not spiritually secure in a personal relationship with Yeshua and who does not indulge in the fellowship of the Pure Word of Yahweh, His sacred Torah; it is the Torah that Yeshua prayed to His Father that He would sanctify us with… Thy Word [Torah] is Truth. (Jn 17:17 kjv) Yeshua also said that the Spirit of Truth could not come until he left. (jn 16:7 kjv) Truth, according to Altman has many alternatives… remember Pilate’s exchange with Yeshua:

“...To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?…” (jn 18:37-38 kjv) Pilate and Altman seem to be on the same page.

Paul told the Corinthians… “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” (2 cor 10:5 kjv) Here we have a direct challenge to AI; it will not make believers socially popular among the natives.

To sum it all up: the coming beast system, I think, will be an AI charged entity… its brain will be programmed with all confusion that the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,” consists of in totality. The Truth, will be the other Tree… The Tree of Life, that was in the midst of the Garden, known as the Torah from the beginning. I think that if “the Garden,” is our Hearts and minds, and that if we have the Torah and Yeshua in our Garden, we will overcome the confusion and the lie.

Here is an article I once wrote concerning “The Love and Heart of God.” Its message is essential to appreciate the “love” Yahweh started out with and has never changed. We are the object of His love. We must not allow the lawlessness of AI to cause our love for Yahweh and His Truth to grow cold.

Shalom, John
