I remember reading about this. The beast gets slain then brought back to life. That doesn't happen with a biological organism. It sounds like someone restored a backup and the AI would get even worse.
yes the beast or antichrist receives a mortal head wound. dies and is healed of it by the spirit of the devil himself entering , possessing his body. he then brings the image , statue, robot to life some how.
here is chapt. 13 . KJV. however I feel I must say that the exact meaning of this text has been debated for some time by a very large number of scholars and thinkers.
as yet we have no way of knowing what it is really saying, it all sounds like some kind of harry potter shit to me.
I seem to remember hearing somewhere that. way far advanced tech. can appear to be magic or make someone into a god to those observing.
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy.
2 And the
beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast.
4 And they worshipped the
dragon which gave power unto the
beast: and they worshipped the
beast, saying, Who is like unto the
beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an
ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into
captivity shall go into
captivity: he that killeth with the
sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another
beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a
lamb, and he spake as a
dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the
beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the
beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
