“The woman was robed in purple and scarlet and bedecked with gold, precious stones and pearls…” (vs. 4). When I looked up this verse, in many different commentaries, they all stated that this was referring to the Pope, even down to his exact regalia and even the colours of scarlet and purple (which are the colours that the Cardinals and the Pope wear)! At the time I had a strong impression that this was referring to Pope Francis.
And I can remember Dr. Jack Van Impe, many years ago, teaching on Rev. 13:11, “Then I saw another beast rising up out of the land; he had two horns like a lamb, and he roared like a dragon.” He explained that the false prophet has two horns like a lamb identifying him with Christianity, but he is a defecting Christian, who is apostatized because he roars like a dragon (has satanic power Rev. 13:11-15).
But it is only recently, from beginning of July 2025, that I have been mulling over the idea that Elon Musk is the false prophet, and not the Pope. This is rather controversial to say the least and goes against all the traditional and conventional views that have been taught. But when I tried to imagine the antichrist and the Pope together, as the Bible says they will be closely associated together, it just does NOT fit! He would certainly not have the Pope as his right-hand man! What benefits could he bring to the table, other than being the head of a very large world-wide religious group? What good would that do? NO, but rather a trillionaire technocrat, who is the leader in technology and A.I. YES that fits perfectly, as this is exactly what the antichrist will need to control the world, through technology and A.I. and NOT through religion. He will also control the economy with extreme financial pressure, through the “mark of the beast,” which the false prophet will initiate through the digital I.D. and digital currency.
Then at the end of May 2026, I watched a You Tube video, where they said exactly the same thing (see link below). This just confirmed my theory too. When God reveals His truth, or hidden secrets, He will always tell several of His children. It is a way of confirming that it is correct. If you are a lone-ranger, and the only one proclaiming something, it is very likely that it is FALSE!
Ok, so how does this fit with a one-world religion? It is not what we think of today, as being inter-denominational religious churches, BUT it would be a worship of a “new and strange god,” the god of technology, and specifically of A.I. which requires the worship of itself. There will no longer be the need of hardware such as cell phones or computers, as It will be inserted into the body, to give instant access, through neural networks, to the internet and A.I.
The antichrist worships a new and strange god, the god of fortresses (military power through advanced technology – Dan. 11:38-39; Deut. 32:16-17).
Accepting and permitting the “mark of the beast” to be inserted under the skin, will instantaneously indicate that your allegiance is now to the antichrist, and to his image (biometric micro-chip) and therefore the worship of them both.
In Rev. 13:16 it tells us that the false prophet is also the one who enforces the “mark of the beast,” at mid-trib. Interesting to note in the KJV it says IN (not on) the right hand or forehead. Again, amazing how the Bible so accurately predicted this, as only OUR generation can understand the technology behind it! This technology is already in use, a RFID biometric micro-chip which is inserted under the skin, in between the forefinger and the thumb, and will be used for storing all of your information, birth details, educational, employment, medical, financial and your digital identity, GPS tracking etc, and used for financial transactions. In Sweden, they are already using a “prototype” of this chip. Notice that the E.U. are the forerunners of this!
At first it will not be compulsory, but you will not be able to buy or sell or do any financial transactions without it, as the global financial system will become a global digital currency, controlled by this chip, and the bar code of 666! The Bible categorically states that this is the mark of the antichrist, his stamp and claim of authority and ownership over you! Once you have received it there is NO turning back, and you will drink of the undiluted wrath of God (Rev. 14:10-11)!
At mid-trib, this chip will become compulsory and refusing to have it inserted will cost you your life! Notice, you will still have a choice, it can never be forced on you!
What else does the Bible tell us about the false prophet? In Rev. 13:14-15, it tells us that he erects a statue (an image) of the beast, and he imparts the breath of life into the beast’s image, so that the statue could talk and cause to be put to death those who would not bow down and worship the image of the beast. Again Dr. Jack Van Impe had an interesting take on this, he said that the word image is the same word for a clone, and he suggested that a clone would be made of the antichrist!
We already have AI robotic humanoids, which look exactly human! We still don’t know how this will play out, but I believe that a human clone will be made of the antichrist; and that he actually dies from an assassination attempt (Zech. 11:17). His brain or mind (soul) has been downloaded onto an advanced Neuralink chip. The false prophet will insert this into the antichrist’s clone, then he imparts the “breath of life” into it, but not a human spirit, but Satan’s spirit (Rev. 17:8). “The antichrist is transmogrified into a living incarnation of Osiris Apollo, at the raising of Osiris ceremony…” (Thomas Horn’s book Zeitgeist 2025). The antichrist’s clone (image) now becomes the living incarnation of Satan and will rule with extreme tyranny for the remaining three and a half years. It will literally be hell on earth.
It is without a doubt that these end-times are upon us, and that the time of the church age, and the dispensation of grace, is about to come to an end, which will end once the Rapture happens! Evil will then greatly increase as the Restrainer will step aside (II Thess. 2:7). The wrath of God will then be poured out, in some terrifying judgments (during the Tribulation period)! The time for the antichrist and the false prophet will then begin. But fortunately it will only last for a very brief time (Rev. 17:10-12). This eighth empire and its evil nefarious ruler and his cohort will be destroyed, by the Word of His mouth, when Jesus returns to earth, the second time (Rev. 19:11-21). But this time to rule and reign from Jerusalem for a thousand years, at the beginning of the new millennium.
It is essential to get your life right with God, if you have not done so already, to avoid all these horrors. Remember do not allow yourself to be duped or fooled by false teachers and prophets, but especially by the main False Prophet (Matt. 24:24), always stay close to the plumbline, the Word of God. What does not line up with the Word of God is FALSE. God bless you with peace, and the assurance of your salvation. S.J.
