We Are Watching Prophecy Unfold as the Beast System Rises
If you’re paying attention to the world around you, you’ve probably noticed that things are moving fast.
Pastor J.D. Farag of Calvary Kaneohe, in Kaneohe, Hawaii, recently laid out a sobering but hopeful case in his latest Bible prophecy update: the Beast system is being built, just as Revelation foretells—but it will fall.
“In order for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled specific to the fall of Babylon, there must be the building first of Babylon and this world system,” Farag explains. “Something cannot fall unless it’s first built.” And right now, we are witnessing that building process in real time.

At the center of this system? Artificial Intelligence. According to Farag, “This prophesied Beast system is actually being built right now exactly as Bible prophecy tells us it would be at the time of the end.” He pointed to a recent interview when Elon Musk warned that Google is aiming to create an “AI God,” a digital superintelligence with terrifying implications, “The potential for AI systems to become so powerful that they could operate beyond human control… a scenario commonly referred to as ‘the singularity.'” In other words, man’s attempt to create an all-knowing, all-powerful system—one that eerily mirrors the ambitions of Babel in Genesis 11.
Farag didn’t mince words: “This Babylonian system is just that—a system. But Babylon is a city. The Beast is the system. And the Antichrist is a man.” This distinction is crucial because it highlights the interconnected roles of technology, political control and the rise of a global leader who will use these advancements to consolidate power.
The rapid advancements in AI, blockchain and digital surveillance all point to one thing: a system designed for total control. “They have to have a system in place at the ready in order to determine whether or not one is in compliance,” he said, referencing Revelation 13 and the Mark of the Beast. “Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology are all coming together to create a verification system—a Beast system.”
For those who recognize what’s happening, Farag says the conclusion is obvious: “We’re seeing things in real time, right before our very eyes, that were prophesied in the Word of God some 2,500 years plus prior.” He argues that the stage is being set for the seven-year Tribulation, meaning the rapture must be close. “Think this through. If we’re already watching the system being built for the Tribulation, how much closer must we be to the rapture?”
But here’s the good news: “This Beast system that’s now being built will fall.” Revelation 18 makes it clear that Babylon, the great system of control and rebellion against God, will be utterly destroyed. “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen!” he declared, emphasizing that no matter how advanced or all-encompassing this system appears, it cannot stand against God’s judgment.
Farag closed with a powerful reminder: “As Daniel said and prophesied, at the time of the end, the wise will understand.” That wisdom comes from knowing the truth of God’s Word and trusting in His perfect plan. While the world races toward singularity and control, believers can take comfort in the fact that God is still in control—and He has already won the final battle.
