The Kingdom Crossroads podcast dives deep into the intriguing and often unsettling topic of the Antichrist, exploring whether this figure is alive today and how he has been portrayed throughout history. Hosts Scott Wright and Pastor Bob discuss the persuasive power the Antichrist might wield, emphasizing that it will not be through force but rather through charm and deception, much like historical figures who have manipulated public sentiment. They also examine the role of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, in shaping future events and potentially facilitating the rise of the Antichrist. Cryptocurrency and digital currencies are highlighted as tools that could contribute to global control over finances, further aligning with biblical predictions. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are encouraged to reflect on the current state of the world and the possible signs pointing toward these prophetic events.

Takeaways:

  • The Antichrist is likely to be a persuasive figure rather than a forceful dictator, winning hearts rather than using aggression.
  • Throughout history, the spirit of the Antichrist has been present, influencing events and individuals in subtle ways.
  • Cryptocurrency and AI may play crucial roles in the rise of the Antichrist, potentially allowing for unprecedented control over global systems.
  • The portrayal of the Antichrist may mislead people to expect a monstrous figure, whereas it may be someone charming and appealing.
  • As world leaders fail to address societal issues, an AI or new leader could emerge to fill the resulting power vacuum.
  • The technology of today is rapidly evolving, making the scenarios depicted in biblical prophecy more plausible than ever before.

Foreign.
Everywhere.
Pastor Robert Thibodeau here.
Welcome to the KingdomCrossroads podcast Today.
We're so blessed you'rejoining us.
How has the Antichrist beenportrayed down through the eons of
time?
I mean, do you believe thehuman Antichrist will be over to

(00:22):
be able to take over the world?
And is he alive today?
What about the image of the beast?
I mean, what should we belooking for to help identify that?
With everything going on rightnow that you see on the news, do
you think we're on the vergeof having all of this exposed?
I mean, recently there was abig push into cryptocurrency and

(00:42):
in an effort to control theworld's money supply.
I mean, all of thisinformation is out there.
All of this information ispointing to and the direction of
the Antichrist.
But how can we help identify it?
Well, to help us discuss thattoday is our good friend Scott Wright.

(01:03):
He's back with us again todayand he's going to be telling us all
about this, how we can helpsee who it is that's being put up
to make all this stuff happen.
Folks, help us.
Welcome back to the program,Scott Wright.
Scott, it's a blessing to haveyou with us today, brother.
How you doing this morning, Bob?
And looking forward to thefun, fruitful discussion that we

(01:26):
always have.
Amen.
Amen.
And, and with everything wesee happening right now in the world,
you just can't help but startlooking around saying, where's he
at?
He's got to be here somewhere.
Amen.
So let's go ahead and getstarted with this.
Do you believe the, the humanAntichrist is actually here, alive
today?

(01:46):
Well, you know, it's, it'sinteresting that you, you say the
human.
I'm kind of, you know, I, Ikind of wonder something.
And first of all, theAntichrist spirit has been with us
since the beginning.
Oh, yeah, it's been there.
I mean, the Bible even talkedabout it back in the New Testament

(02:07):
that it's already amongst us.
So the demonic spirit of theAntichrist has already been prevalent
in there.
Here's.
I have a couple of theories onthis, and I think, and they're theories,
they're not, you know, thisisn't factual information.
Number one is that theAntichrist is definitely going to

(02:29):
have some kind of powerpersuasion over people that is going
to be, it's not going to be forceful.
And I think that's one of thefirst things that we have to pay
attention to.
It is not going to be aforceful, powerful persuasion like
Hitler or Stalin.

(02:51):
That is not going to be theway this goes down.
What I do believe is it'sgoing to be somebody who is persuasive.
And it all seems good.
It all seems like it's goingto be someone who can win people's
hearts.
That's really what it is.

(03:11):
It's.
It's about, it's about winningthe spiritual side of this.
You know, one of the thingsthat a saying that I like to say
and when it comes to warfareis that, and the Sun Tzu is the one
that said this all war is amoral contest and it's won in the
temples before it is ever fought.

(03:32):
Amen.
You have to win the moral sideof and in the spiritual side before
you can get people to do whatyou want them to do.
And whoever this or whateverthis is with the Antichrist, that
is going to be the key, thekey factor.
They're going to have anability to do that.
Now think about this.

(03:53):
And we're going to use history.
You know that I'm probably oneof the only people that, you know
that does this.
I don't look forward to.
I look backwards first.
Because the things of the pastteach us what this is.
Yeah, yeah.
Amen.
And here's what it is, is thatevery time a major empire has fallen,

(04:17):
it's always left a vacuum or amajor ruler has fallen, one that
had massive amounts of control.
It leaves a massive vacuum.
To create something thatsomething brand new comes and has
to fill.
Vacuums are going to get filled.
And when we're talking aboutthat type of control, we're gonna.

(04:40):
There's gonna be somethingthat has to happen first that creates
the vacuum for that person tocome in.
But I will tell you, we'reseeing the world on the brink of
chaos.
We've got wars that arebreaking out all over the place.
And the unfortunate truth isthe last four years, that's what

(05:02):
it's turned into.
Because the United States hastaken a much more weaker posture.
Let's just say it like it is.
And for that reason, that'swhat's happened.
Well, at some point this mayget, you know, some, the stuff now
may get resolved.
But I think you're seeing aninkling that at some point this is

(05:22):
all gonna tear loose.
Yeah.
Eventually it's going to go toanother level.
Eventually there's going to bea vacuum created and that's going
to.
You mentioned.
Interrupt you.
Because you mentioned, youmentioned, you know that you like
looking back to see what'sgoing to happen forward.
So how has the Antichrist beenportrayed down through the eons of

(05:44):
time.
I think on some levels thatpeople think it's going to be by
force.
I think there's just a naturalinclination to think that it's going
to be by force.
And it's almost like thisperson is going to be thought of
as a devil.
You know, they're.
They're not.
They're.
They're going to look like thedevil and what they would portray

(06:04):
as the devil with red hornsand looking ugly and all this other
stuff, you know, and.
And they're like, they'regoing to be mean and it's going to
be the.
Quite frankly, it's going tolook like the portrayal of how Nazis
were portrayed.
Aggressive, mean, and alwayslike in your face.
That is not what theAntichrist is going to be like.

(06:27):
It is going to be persuasion.
It is going to be smooth.
It is.
It is going to be just like Satan.
Satan is the master of deception.
Yep.
You know, Satan and I tellpeople that I just.
That I work with when I'mdiscipling them.
Satan does not care aboutright and wrong.
What he cares about is rightand almost right.

(06:49):
Because he can't convince youright and wrong.
You know the difference?
Everybody does.
But that right and almostright, that's where he lives.
He lives on that 98 truth.
But that 2% lie that drags youaway from God, that's exactly what
he does.
He is the master of deception.
Well, what do you think theAntichrist is going to be?

(07:10):
It's the master of deception.
So here's some cliches.
We're here to make your life better.
We're here to give you alittle bit more.
You know what?
This is actually going to begood for you, this change.
It's things like that.
It's those little cliches,live cliches that have always been
around.

(07:30):
You know, hey, just take holdof life.
Just do it.
Just be the better version of yourself.
You know, go get your life,you know, your best life.
We hear that all the time.
You know, those are little.
Those little cliches are theperfect cliches of what will come
out of the Antichrist spirit.

(07:50):
Because we know that followingChrist is about surrender.
It is not about morality.
Everybody thinks it's about morality.
It is never about morality.
If.
If.
First of all, and I've saidthis before, I think even on the
show, God does not chooseperfect people.
Just read the book of Jonah.
Okay?

(08:11):
I mean, just.
Amen.
Just read the Old Testamentand the New Testament.
I mean, Paul tried to destroythe church.
And he is the most importantfigure other than Christ in Christianity,
Period.
No one else has done what Paulhas done other than Christ himself.
Amen.
Amen.
And he was certainly not aperfect person.

(08:35):
So God does not choose perfect people.
So morality cannot be thefocal point of God's plan.
Because if that was the case,then he would not have saved Noah
because he would have beenlike, this is just going to be evil
again.
He knew that he would havejust wiped out the earth and been
done like, I'm finished with this.

(08:55):
This is crazy.
These people are nuts.
You know.
That's what he would have done.
But that's not what he choseto do.
The focal point is that hewanted restoration.
And he knew what that wasgoing to take.
In Genesis 3.
He basically starts giving usthe gospel in Genesis 3, when he

(09:16):
made the coverings for them tocover their nakedness.
That was the start of the gospel.
He was being compassionate.
He was going to find a way toredeem his people.
And so the Antichrist comingback to him.
He is going to try to take youaway from God's redemption.
He's going to make us think.

(09:38):
He's going to try to makepeople think and a lot.
And most people are going tofollow him.
That it's not.
It's.
It's to just get them a littlebit away from God.
It's.
But it's going to seem very godlike.
Yeah.
And it's.
It's gonna be a play wherethey're gonna be helping you make

(09:58):
decisions in life where youcan do things.
And it's going to work out foryou at that moment.
All right.
And it's going to seem likethey did it versus God to get you
to just barely turn away from God.
All you got to do.
All I got to do is get you offthat straight narrow for two steps
and now the third, and thenyou just keep going further off the

(10:21):
road.
That's exactly what it'll be like.
And it'll be through the powerof persuasion.
Amen.
What about the image of the beast?
What should be looking for there?
So.
And that's a great question.
And I want to also dial into something.
So.
And I'm not.
I'm not saying that this is it.
But I'm going to give you some.

(10:41):
I want to give you guys some tidbits.
I want you.
You need to really startpaying attention to AI.
Everybody needs to startreally paying attention to this.
I've done some research on this.
I've listened to some peoplewho are experts in this, I guess,
if there is experts.
But at least we'll say themost knowledgeable people, people
that you can listen to.

(11:01):
And there's been a couple ofshows where I've listened to some
of those people, yours beingone of them.
You know, there is now an AIthat is in control, a CEO of a Chinese
company.
I want you to think about this.
There are now instances already.
This isn't something in thefuture, which it's just going to

(11:23):
be more so.
People are using AI to makelife decisions.
So here's my question.
Is the person who's going tobe the Antichrist simply going to
be a figurehead and it's goingto be an AI that's really the controlling
factor.

(11:44):
Is it going to be an A.I.
that's the Antichrist?
Right.
It would be easy to kill it.
And for it to come back, Imean, you start thinking in these
terms.
You know, the thing, what wehave to realize is the way they wrote
that, the way John would havewrote that, he would not have understood
the technology of today and.
And all the things he had towrite that in a way that would have

(12:07):
fit his language in hisunderstanding of life as much as
he could.
You know, he can't talk about missiles.
Missiles didn't exist.
You know, just like the sunand the moon darkened.
I listened to a whole excerpton what nuclear war or nuclear explosions,

(12:27):
what that would do.
And if I read that part inRevelation, they're like spitting
images of each other.
Yeah, exactly.
So my point to people is thatJohn could not write this in a way
to our language today.
It's not possible because wehave a different set of knowledge
but face than he would have.

(12:49):
But what I'm saying is this,is that this AI pay very close attention.
I believe that the Antichristand the AI, there's going to be some
alignment here.
Yeah.
And I don't know, maybe theAntichrist is AI.
Maybe it's what takes over.
Here's a possible scenario.
Not saying this is it, butimagine battlefield plans where the

(13:16):
generals who are in control ofa battle going on decide I need to
just turn all the decisionmaking over to AI because it can
communicate faster toeverything in the field and make
the quicker decisions becauseit can process data so fast and make
247 decisions and monitoreverything so much better than human
beings.

(13:37):
Yeah.
Amen.
Here's why that's a possiblescenario, because it's already being
looked into.
Yeah.
Well, you got your, like NORADand all that.
That's all you know Computermonitors for incoming missiles and
you know, all that stuff.
Anyway, I mean, it's alreadyimplemented in, in some form or fashion.

(13:59):
It's just the, the nuclearkeys are still under the control
of the President.
Exactly.
And that's it.
But we are looking at AI in a.
We're starting to see it in adifferent way now, that it's actually
actionable.
And I just kind of wonder how,what that role is going to be of

(14:20):
AI in all of this, because Ican pretty much guarantee you there's
going to be a role here and avery pivotal and a very prominent
role.
However this plays out withit, with the Antichrist.
Whether the Antichrist is anAI or if it is a person that's being

(14:40):
basically controlled, they'realready working with and you know,
this Elon Musk people puttingimplants where an AI controls what
they do.
Yeah.
Yep.
Do you think we're on theverge of having all this exposed?
Yeah, I think it's gonna,it's, it's hard to put the genie
back in the bottle.

(15:01):
And I think what's happeningis, is that as people.
Here's what I think.
I think as world leaderscontinue to go down dark paths, people
are going to get fed up.
This is what I think could happen.
They're going to get fed upwith these leaders and they're going
to want these people dealt with.

(15:22):
And an AI could deal with them.
Yeah, I mean, you know, think about.
They can wipe out your bankaccounts and boom, it's gone.
And imagine these billionaireswho are controlling these political
leaders, and this AI is, is,somebody's gotten smart enough and,
and, and the AI is developedenough that like, it's these three

(15:45):
people controlling all thisand they are making all these people
suffer.
And all a sudden that AI justwipes out their bank accounts and,
and they have no politicalpower whatsoever, literally in moments.
And then it sends out dronesto kill them.
I mean, how are they going tofight a 100,000 drones?
Right.
Is their little security forcegoing to matter when that thing's

(16:07):
launching missiles and machinegun fire at.
Yeah.
A thousand rounds a second?
Yeah.
I mean, they're going to killout the security force and the people.
I, I'm just, I interviewed a guy.
I can't remember his name.
The book was called the Swarm,and he used to work in the Pentagon
area, you know, Department ofDefense and Development of these

(16:32):
autonomous drones.
Right.
And the experiment, the, thereal life experiment went wrong,
let's just put it like that.
And they lost control of the drones.
So you know, and he, when,after he retired, he wrote a book,
a fictional book on how, youknow, they had implemented these

(16:56):
autonomous drones and lostcontrol of them like that.
He made, he made what happenedon that small scale event into a
book of huge proportions,let's put it like that.
And it was a, it was really aninteresting book.
It really was a greatinterview, you know, but so this

(17:17):
stuff isn't just, you know,futuristic on a small scale.
It's already happened.
And I, and to go right alongwith that, I already saw, I saw video
footage on two AI robots thatwere created that could move.
I mean, they would, thosethings could move and they were very
functional and they had theminteracting with each other and eventually

(17:42):
they could, they were interaction.
Interacting in a language thatnobody could understand and starting
to, they started losingcontrol over those and they had to,
they had to shut them off.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So this stuff that we'retalking about is Not Science Fiction,
1950 Science Fiction.

(18:02):
Like, oh, you know, this isjust something just make believe
Hollywood.
This is real stuff now.
And it's quite crazy.
I mean, it's just, it's on ascale like we could not have imagined
this 30 years ago.
Oh, right.
And here it is, I mean,Terminator 3.

(18:23):
Oh, my word.
You know, we thought that wasjust science fiction, fun Hollywood
stuff.
And now it's like, well, youknow, that is within the realm of
possibility.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
I mentioned, I mentionedcryptocurrency at the opening recently.
Like I said, there's been abig push into cryptocurrency.

(18:43):
Yeah.
And is.
I still see this as an effortfor somebody to control the entire
world's money supply.
What do you see?
Well, I mean, that couldeasily be done.
All it takes is the UnitedStates has already toying around
with the digital dollar andthen they can track everything I've

(19:04):
done.
I've, I've traded with cryptocurrency.
So I've got a little bit of aknowledge on that.
Been following it since about 2017.
Cryptocurrency.
See, the thing is, iseverything is out there.
You can see like the codingand, and it's hard to steal, but
you can see the trail.
There's no hiding any trail.

(19:26):
You can see the trail whichthis particular currency moved because
you just track the codes.
But the codes are really longas far as breaking into the accounts
to get them, that's harder.
But you can freeze it.
You can freeze it where thecurrency can't move outside the account,
which makes it worthless in a way.

(19:49):
So so there's, there's waysthey can do that.
There.
Some have been broken into,but that's because they're breaking
and getting the passcodes.
Right.
As far as breaking the actualencryptions, those things are pretty
lengthy, but.
And be very difficult.
But they can get access toaccounts when they know your passcodes.
That's the key.
And these key codes and, youknow, you do the Gmail, the, the

(20:14):
Google rotating codes andstuff, you've got to do all that
to protect yourself on that stuff.
But I will say this.
As far as the numbers, they'reout there for everybody to see.
I mean, there's no hiding it.
So, yeah, as far as a digitaldollar, think about.
They could track every dollarthat you spend and every dollar.
Every dollar.

(20:34):
And then.
And, And I will tell you.
I mean, how easy would it beto just.
Everybody gets tattoos.
To tattoo barcodes.
Yeah.
QR codes.
I mean.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's, you know, put iton the forehand or, you know, in
the front of your.
Right there on your wrist.
You know, put it on your forehead.
I mean, people doing all kindsof stuff.

(20:55):
I mean, the, the.
Those marks, that's not even gonna.
I mean, I think everybody cansee that.
That's easy to do.
And then the image of theBeast, you brought that up.
I have to say this.
So this has been going on fora while, this part.
And I remember havingdiscussions about this with people,
different people there.

(21:15):
There are now like, Like, Iremember the Atlanta Hawks and I
saw a thing on a video ofsomething they did.
So, like, the lights would goout and then they had sensors around
their cord and they.
And, and you know that this exists.
It's holograms is what it is.
Where, like the floor lookslike it completely goes away, and

(21:38):
then all sudden all theseimages start popping up and it's
entertaining and all that stuff.
I mean, the image of the Beastis going to be easy.
That's an easy one.
I mean, these hologram imagesand all that other stuff, it'll be
easy to have an image of the Beast.
And, you know, I mean, I hateto say this, but this.

(21:58):
You.
You've heard of the SnowdenFiles, you know, that happened back,
what, 10 years ago or whateverit was leaked out, all that surveillance
stuff.
I mean, their surveillance,surveillance in the world and the
ability to control all that,that technology, if it's not there
now, it's really close.

(22:19):
It's really close.
I mean, we're sitting heretalking on these video and zoom images.
I mean, how easy would it beto convert that you have to get in
front of that computer everyday and do whatever it is they want
you to do.
Yeah.
I mean that's not hard.
And if, you know, if youdon't, then the AI sends out drones

(22:42):
looking for you.
I mean it's.
Yeah.
I mean it's a whole thing.
There's.
The image is easy.
That's.
I mean there's not.
That's not going to be a hardthing to create.
Not with the technology thatis there now.
And these.
You know, I remember back whenI was younger and I'd hear people
talk about this in the 80s and90s, like, oh, it's coming and this

(23:04):
is happening.
And I just, honestly, even inthe early 2000s I never saw the technology
where it was possible.
But it's now possible.
Yeah.
Now I can see it.
In the last 10 years I'vestarted to see it.
I mean the.
We got the bullet trains.
I mean you can go on the eastcoast of Florida and go from Orlando

(23:26):
to Miami just like nothing.
I mean we went from Germanyone into Germany and travel all the
way across into Austria and onthe bullet train we were there in
four hours.
I mean we could have made aday of it and just came home and
just relaxation.
I mean the whole to and fro the.
I mean it's that it's talkedabout in the book of Daniel.

(23:48):
That's simple.
And the fact that you could bein Japan right now and I could still
be here in Arkansas and we'retalking to each other.
Yeah.
Amen.
Just like we are.
I mean if we were sitting atthe kitchen table together.
Sitting, having talk.
Amen.
Sitting at a restaurant as wealready wrap up.
How can someone get in touchwith you if they have any questions
