title: Are technological advances like artificial intelligence a sign of the end times?

tldr:
  <p>Technological advances, including artificial intelligence, are not clear signs of the end times. Daniel 12:4 indicates knowledge will increase, but only God knows when the end will come (Matthew 24:36).<br /></p>

bible_say:
  <p>Many people wonder if the rise of artificial intelligence and rapid technological progress might be signs pointing to the end times. While technology’s growth is astounding, the Bible does not directly connect it to end‑time prophecy. The key passage often cited is Daniel 12:4, where the angel tells Daniel, “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” This verse clearly indicates that in the last days, knowledge will increase, but it does not specify the form that knowledge will take. As CompellingTruth.org notes, this could refer to scientific, spiritual, or general understanding rather than to technology itself.</p><p>Throughout history, every major leap forward—from the printing press to the internet—has led some people to wonder if humanity was approaching the end. Yet Scripture reminds us that no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return (Matthew 24:36). What truly marks the end times is not technology, but spiritual conditions—widespread deception, rebellion against God, and the proclamation of the gospel to all nations (2 Thessalonians 2:3; Matthew 24:14).</p><p>Artificial intelligence may reflect humanity’s God-given creativity, since we are made in His image, but it also reminds us of our limits. According to biblical truth and as GotQuestions.org explains, no machine can possess genuine understanding or a soul. Only God imparts life and spiritual awareness (Genesis 2:7; Psalm 139:13–14). True artificial intelligence, in the sense of moral reasoning and spiritual consciousness, is impossible because these come from the Creator alone.</p><p>Therefore, while increasing knowledge and technology may set the stage for future prophetic events, they are not themselves proof that the end has arrived. Christians are called not to fear technological progress but to remain faithful, discerning, and ready for Christ’s return.</p>

old_testament:
  When considering what the Old Testament reveals about whether technological advances like artificial intelligence are signs of the end times, it is important to recognize that Scripture does not specifically mention such inventions. However, the Old Testament does offer principles about human knowledge, pride, and the ultimate sovereignty of God. In Daniel 12:4, the prophet is told to “shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” This verse suggests that in the latter days, human knowledge will expand, yet it is God who determines how far mankind’s understanding can go. The book of Genesis shows that technological and societal progress, when divorced from obedience to God, leads to moral and spiritual downfall. At Babel, humanity sought to exalt itself through innovation and unity apart from God, prompting His intervention (Genesis 11:4–9). Proverbs 16:25 warns that “there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” The Old Testament reveals that progress itself is not sinful, but prideful self‑reliance is. Ultimately, Scripture calls humanity to fear the Lord, for “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10).

new_testament:
  The New Testament does not specifically mention technological advances or artificial intelligence as signs of the end times, but it does describe the spiritual and moral conditions that will mark the last days. Jesus taught in Matthew 24:36 that “concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only,” reminding believers that the timing of the end is known solely to God, not determined by human inventions. The Apostle Paul warned that the last days would be characterized by moral decay and self-centeredness rather than by technological progress, writing that “people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy” (2 Timothy 3:1–2). These attitudes reveal spiritual rebellion, not scientific achievement, as the true indicator of the approaching end.<br />While technological growth can demonstrate mankind’s God-given creativity, it can also lead to pride and misplaced trust in human ability. Jesus emphasized that the gospel must first be preached to all nations before His return (Matthew 24:14). Therefore, technology and artificial intelligence are tools that can hasten the spread of truth, but they are not prophetic signs in themselves. The New Testament calls believers to be watchful, faithful, and discerning rather than fearful of human advancement.

implications:
  <p>In today’s world, technological advances such as artificial intelligence raise both excitement and concern, leading some to wonder if these developments signal the end times. While Scripture does not directly link technology to the end, it does offer wisdom for how believers should respond to such progress. Daniel 12:4 speaks of knowledge increasing in the final days, which many see reflected in our digital age; however, this increase in knowledge is not itself a sign of Christ’s imminent return. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:44 that His coming will be unexpected, urging His followers to “be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

  </p><p>The real implication for today is not fear of artificial intelligence but vigilance regarding how humanity uses knowledge. Technology can be a blessing when used to spread truth, enhance communication, and improve human life. Yet it can also foster pride, deception, and moral compromise if it leads people to trust human wisdom over God’s authority. Paul’s instruction in Romans 12:2—“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind”—reminds us that believers must remain spiritually grounded, discerning, and faithful, regardless of how swiftly technology advances around them.<br /></p>
