I have read theories that the ‘sign of the beast’ is a visible sign that you are possessed by a demon/beast. Since we will not be able to buy or sell without the sign then it certainly seems like the sign will be an AI system that will control every area of our lives, if we choose to accept it. Furthermore, AI is a system of control and brainwashing since it gives different answers depending on who the person is asking the questions. Its intent is to enslave us and eternally separate us from the truth; from God.
Nathaniel Gillis believes that entities manipulate our perceptions and appear to us in whatever form appeals to us individually. Others believe that entities like satan, isis, fallen angels, demons, etc. have appeared in many forms throughout history but the forms or visions of entities, like Mary or the Lady of Fatima for example, were merely projections. If an entity knows you prefer Jesus, Mohammed, buddha, slender man, your dead relative, any of the millions of hindu ‘gods’, etc. then it will appear to you as those things instead in an effort to manipulate you into giving control over your life to them. This may be why the Bible says to not worship images because the entity projecting the image may be wicked. Also, Revelation talks about how people will bow down and worship the image of the beast perhaps not realizing that satan is projecting the image. The one eyeball is a symbol/image that celebrities worship but VC goes to great lengths to explain why the entities behind the images, the ones pulling the strings, are utterly depraved.
