We were never meant to become gods.
We were meant to walk with God.
From the dust of the earth He formed man, and from His own breath He gave us life. That clay was sacred. It was never meant to be alloyed with iron. Not then. Not now.
But here we are.
In Daniel chapter 2, King Nebuchadnezzar dreams a dream. A giant image. A head of gold. Chest of silver. Thighs of brass. Legs of iron. And feet, strange feet, part of iron and part of clay.
“And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided… 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.”
(Daniel 2:41–43)
That final kingdom has no precedent. It’s not simply Rome reborn. It is something else. Divided. Incompatible. A thing that should not be.
Today, the world watches as the builders of a new Babel lay their digital bricks. They speak the same language now, the language of code, genome sequences, cloud computing. They believe they have no need of the Potter. They’re making new vessels of their own.
They are fusing flesh with machine.
They call it progress.
They call it salvation.
They call it the next step in human evolution.
But God already told us what it is.
It is iron mixed with clay. And it cannot hold.
This Kingdom is Transhuman
What does it mean when clay is mixed with iron? It’s not just an image of instability. It’s a warning about identity.
Clay is man. Created. Formed. Fragile. Sacred.
Iron is machine. Artificial. Cold. Functional. Unyielding.
The moment we blur the two, we are no longer building cities. We are building towers that reach into heaven.
“Let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.”
(Genesis 11:4)
It didn’t work at Babel. And it won’t work now.
Modern prophets in lab coats and TED Talks are not preaching salvation. They’re selling a synthetic gospel. The flesh is weak, they say, but machines are strong. So let us merge the two. Let us rewrite the human code. Let us perfect what God has made.
They are mingling themselves with the seed of men.
But they shall not cleave one to another.
Because the soul cannot be digitized. The spirit cannot be mapped. And the image of God is not upgradeable.
The Real Endgame: The Abolition of Man
C. S. Lewis warned us.
In his prophetic work The Abolition of Man, he wrote of the final battle not being between good and evil, but between man and the architects of post-man.
“What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.”
Transhumanism is not neutral. It is not just a tool. It is the ideological belief that man should evolve past the flesh, that we must transcend creation itself.
What they call immortality is not eternal life. What they call freedom is slavery to systems they cannot control. What they call humanity’s next chapter is actually its erasure.
And Scripture has already addressed this, thousands of years ago.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
(Proverbs 14:12)
Revelation, Resurrection, and the Resistance
The Book of Revelation describes a beast. And an image. And a mark.
“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… should be killed.”
(Revelation 13:15)
An image that speaks. That thinks. That demands allegiance. This is not myth. This is not metaphor. It is machine. It is intelligent. It is connected to the system of the beast.
And it may be here sooner than we think.
Revelation also describes another image, the image of Christ formed in us. The Lamb’s bride. Not re-coded. Not enhanced. But redeemed.
Because God is not upgrading us. He is resurrecting us.
“It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.”
(1 Corinthians 15:44)
Transhumanism offers a counterfeit resurrection. It digitizes the dust but cannot breathe life into it. Only Christ does that.
The Kingdom That Will Stand
The dream Daniel interpreted ends not with iron and clay. It ends with a Rock.
“Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet… and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”
(Daniel 2:34–35)
The Rock is Christ.
And when He comes, He will crush the hybrid kingdom. Not just the technology. Not just the regimes. But the very ideology that dared to replace His image with its own.
And He will raise up a kingdom not built with hands. Not digitized. Not alloyed. But eternal.
Stay Clay
The great temptation of the end times will be to evolve beyond being clay. To reject the Potter. To become our own creators.
Don’t fall for it.
Stay clay. Stay yielded. Stay breakable.
Because that which is hard – the iron, the tech and the towers will shatter.
“Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou?”
(Isaiah 45:9)
You were made in the image of God.
And He is not done shaping you yet.
