Could the image of the beast be in the future a robot?

[Kosonen]

Robots have now been employed to ensure mask-wearing. 

I see a potential that robots will be employed to force people to worship the sevenheaded beast.

Revelation 13:14 ...while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived. 15 And it was permitted to give breath to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who refuse to worship the image of the wild beast.

[Arauna]

NO - THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST IS THE EIGHTH KING according to revelation 17 and 18 and this "disgusting thing" which stands in the place of Jehovah, will declare peace and security.  However, the "internet of things" may be the method by which they will achieve a surveillance on everyone to control everyone and also control crime and keep people locked in place so they cannot move around without permission.

The 'god of fortresses' has not been discussed by our Governing Body yet .... so I will just venture my own ideas on this....  it is the new god mentioned in Daniel 11.  It may be the internet of things by which they secure everything - yes everything on the planet.  They already keep databases but will expand this to include absolutely everything on each person.... such as crime, use of energy, habits of people, what they think and say on internet etc.  It is already going on. They already have a profile on each one of us. They can just expand this to include health, DNA, etc.

It is only now that computers have reached the strength by which they can keep these massive databases and the speed of calculating logarithms and plan outcomes and look into a single persons whole profile in a matter of seconds.

While looking at bible prophecy combined with the direction human innovation is moving into; and what is going on in the power structures this is the conclusion I have come to.  It is not infallible because I am not a prophet but it is just logical conclusions on the bible and the power the rich now have to implement it by means of propaganda and manipulation of all human organizations to obtain their goals while the rest of mankind is divided.

It could very possibly be a demon possessed Smurf.

They will need to do a bit of work before they cut the mustard in anything like that.....

 

[Matthew9969]

 

[Witness]

A point that might/should make a difference in understanding the “image” of the Beast, is that the false prophet/Harlot of Rev 13:11 “breathes” spirit into the Beast. It then becomes “spirit-breathed”; taking on its “image” as a spirit-directed organization. 

@Arauna said the eighth king is the image.  The Beast receives its “image” of spirit-breathed, well before the eight king arrives; since by the time it is in power, the Beast from the Sea has exposed/bared the sins of the false prophet.  This false prophet, Harlot/Beast with "two horns like a lamb", is disfellowshipped. (Rev 13:11, 17:15-18)

It is then, that the eight king arises for all to see.  When the organization is revamped with select anointed (“ten kings”) and elders as your leaders,  there will probably be an influx of some number who have left.  The GB will be gone, and people may believe God has cleansed His “organization”. 

But to remind those ones; the Beast from the Sea is short-lived.  (Rev 17:12; 19:20)

I doubt there is a false prophet who will have any interest in bestowing spirit into a robot, and calling it an "image" of the Beast.   I doubt God's saints will be spiritually "killed" by refusing to revere/worship a spirit-directed robot.  (Rev 13:15)

Robots are already being used in policing.  So policing could in future be done by artificial intelligence...... what is so sarcastically "good" about this is: it does not ask questions or take emotions into account.

You obviously do not believe that Jehovah really exists!
