Something remarkable is happening right now. And unless we see it clearly, we risk sleepwalking into a world that Scripture has already warned us about. This isn’t just about politics, gender roles, or technology. It’s about prophecy. It’s about the enemy’s plan to dismantle God’s design for human relationships and replace it with a counterfeit.
The Seeds Were Sown: Feminism and Division
Feminism didn’t appear out of thin air. Its early advocates fought for what seemed like noble causes: voting rights, workplace equality, and recognition of women’s dignity. But somewhere along the way, the narrative was weaponized. Instead of cooperation between men and women, the story shifted to conflict. Instead of partnership, the message became oppression and resentment.
That shift weakened the family. Divorce rates skyrocketed. Marriage was delayed ..or abandoned. Children grew up in fractured households. And while many individuals found empowerment, society as a whole became more divided. A house divided, as Jesus reminds us in Matthew 12:25, cannot stand.
Enter the Age of Isolation
Fast-forward to the digital era. Online dating, pornography, and social media eroded trust and intimacy further. A culture of hookups replaced a culture of covenant. And as family structures crumbled, people became more atomized ..more alone.
This isolation wasn’t accidental. When people no longer find support in family, they look elsewhere ..to corporations, to governments, and increasingly, to technology. Exactly where the enemy wants them.
The Technological Substitute
Enter AI-powered companionship. Virtual lovers. Humanoid robots. Chatbots marketed as “safe” and “drama-free” partners. What is this but iron trying to mix with clay? Cold, lifeless, manufactured tech taking the place of God’s ordained union of man and woman.
The Bible foresaw this. In Daniel 2:43 we read: “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”
This prophecy is astonishingly relevant. The iron is technology, industry, artificial intelligence. The clay is humanity, fragile and natural. Together they mingle, but they cannot truly bond. They can imitate union, but they cannot cleave. Just as a robot or AI companion can simulate love but never offer covenant.
The Endgame of the Enemy
Why this grand strategy? Why erode trust between men and women, dismantle families, and promote technological substitutes? Because the family is the bedrock of God’s creation. From the beginning, God created male and female (Genesis 1:27). Marriage was designed to reflect Christ’s covenant love for the Church (Ephesians 5:25-32).
By severing human beings from one another, the enemy severs us from one of the clearest earthly reflections of God’s love. In its place, he offers a counterfeit ..a machine that can be programmed, monitored, controlled. Love becomes a product. Companionship becomes a subscription. Children become lab projects in artificial wombs.
And loyalty? It flows upward ..not to one another, not to God, but to the corporations and systems that manufacture the substitutes.
Prophecy Converges with Reality
Daniel’s vision is no longer ancient history. It’s tomorrow’s headlines. We are living in the convergence of prophecy and technology, of iron and clay. And the Church must be awake.
Jesus warned us that deception would increase in the last days (Matthew 24:24). Paul warned Timothy that in the end times, people would be “lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:4). And here we are, watching technology become the great seducer.
What Must We Do?
- Discern the Times: Don’t be fooled by marketing spin. AI companionship is not progress. It is prophecy fulfilled.
- Defend the Family: Strengthen marriages. Raise children in truth. Celebrate the beauty of covenant love.
- Cling to Christ: Our true Bridegroom. In Him we find the intimacy, loyalty, and love no machine can counterfeit.
The iron and clay will mingle. That much is written. But as believers, we know how the story ends. Christ, the Rock cut without hands (Daniel 2:34-35), will shatter the counterfeit kingdoms. His kingdom will stand forever.
Until then, let’s stay awake. Let’s expose the schemes of the enemy. And let’s anchor ourselves in the eternal love that no technology can ever replace.
