I am throwing this into a thread so that it is the OP, part of the OP. There are prophecies in Revelation that have been denied a futuristic fulfillment because people could not see how they could be fulfilled outside of being allegorized. However, as time as gone on, technology has been catching up to prophecy. For instance, with the two witnesses, it is now possible for that to happen, and for everyone around the world to know if it immediately, and to even watch it happen. We have the technology to literally fulfill that prophecy now. I have been bringing up the idea of AI being the possible technological fulfillment of the Image of the Beast, and just yesterday, on Fox News (perhaps this morning) we have this article:

All I can say is that if the image of the beast is actually future, and it is based on AI (and perhaps robotics), we are not far from having the technology, and someone is already going to use a very rudimentary version. The technology required for a workable framework to fit with the image of the beast already exists. And it isn't in its infancy. The technologies do need to grow a little, but if one were to integrate the technology that already exists, it isn't too long before what Revelation calls for is a reality. Not long at all. The only thing they need is a slight improvement in graphical quality, and some more AI training. Perhaps the next step up from GPT4. Supposedly that will be a HUGE evolution in AI. (And this is forgetting that some google engineer has already stated that google's AI engine has already achieved sentience. I can't say it has not, because in a world where demon's exist and can possess people/things, anything is possible.) Unreal engine has already provided the capability that if paired with AI, would provide a pretty convincing replica of a person's face, and can add voice to AI text, and emotion using the Unreal engine. That part of the technology is the closest to infancy. The rest has been maturing for over a decade.
GOP 2024 candidate gets AI makeover: Francis Suarez lookalike may be 'surrogate' and do interviews, PAC says
The AI-generated Suarez prompts voters to ask questions about the candidate's stance on different issues as Miami Mayor Francis Suarez runs for president.
