Beware Ai “DEEP FAKE” SCAMS

Be aware and beware of scams we’re seeing more and more of that seem so real it’s easy to be deceived.  Thes are produced using Ai – Artificial intelligence – and the scam they produce have a name: “Deep Fake”.  Learn as much as you can about this soon. WHY?  Because we know there will be such persuasive deception coming at us increasingly before the Beast and False Prophet actually appear. So our guard has to be up. 

AI (artificial intelligence) ads, sermons and talks are getting so real that it’s harder and harder to recognize the real from the fake. These Deep Fake scams prey especially upon those who are very needy for an answer. Someone with diabetes, foot sores or neuropathy, with eyesight going bad and loss of energy – are desperate to get rid of Type 2 Diabetes, though the prevailing wisdom for decades has been that Diabetes is incurable. 

So when you see a presentation ostensibly put on by Laura Ingraham of Fox News, collaborating with Elon Musk and the well known naturopathic doctor Barbara O’Neil  -- and they’re saying the diabetes can be eliminated in just days, and it’s all so convincing, do this:  check it out first. Do searches on it and see if it’s real or fake. Even search for reviews of the product and presentation. The one I’m talking about was totally Deep Fake, but it was convincing at first, especially to the needy. 

There was one showing Oprah Winfrey – supposedly advocating a take-off on the Mounjaro weight loss and diabetic medication.  It showed HER talking about how she struggled with weight loss and how this new product Burnjaro was her savior on weight loss. She had all the scientific facts and experts explaining how powerful it was and how it really works!  But upon checking it, it too was Deep Fake. 

Folks, don’t buy these, don’t believe these.  Good clues it’s a deep fake: they’re using big name celebrities. They’re saying you must buy soon before they’re sold out. They usually also have a long, long presentation you have to listen to before you get down to price.  Don’t let them snag you.  It’s fake. It’s not for real. 

I even found a very deep fake sermon by the former televangelist Billy Graham, expressing disgust how Christian churches have abandoned the seventh day sabbath.  I wondered “How in the world did I miss this teaching from him?” I knew he was a staunch Sunday-keeper.  Actually it was a terrific pro-sabbath sermon, but as I watched it in amazement, I couldn’t believe it was real. But it was his likeness, his voice, his mannerisms and expressions.  It was deep fake.  He never said any of that.

So hear this carefully:  in the months and years ahead, there will be more and more WONDERFUL sermons – from AI – but which are NOT biblically accurate. YOU and I will have to know God’s WORD INTIMATELY, to instantly spot error when we hear it and see it, because we KNOW what God’s word says!  

When the Beast and False Prophet of Revelation 13 come on the scene, they will deceive the whole world, except for a handful of “the elect” – God’s chosen  -- who will not fall for his deceptions, but almost do.  

Matthew 24:23-25   

"Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it.  24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  25 See, I have told you beforehand.” 

With the coming False Prophet, Beast #2 of Rev 13, it will be particularly crucial to know the Bible well.  Don’t let a day go by without being DEEPLY into God’s word – or YOU can be DECEIVED by this very convincing False Prophet Beast #2.  Manna pictured God’s word. It was collected every day, early in the morning.

For example: The False prophet working with the Beast power of Revelation 13, will be able to make the image of the Beast power seem to come to life and SPEAK.  Will that just be “seem to come to life and speak” – or will he, having Satan’s power be able to actually make the image or statues speak, move, and come to life?  How persuasive that will be, either way.  I can see possibilities NOW I would have never mentioned a decade ago (Rev. 13:11-16) if any AI is used. 

Revelation 13:11-17

“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

He gives BREATH to the image of the Beast and causes it to speak.  Get this:  AI is causing a LOT OF IMAGES and depictions to come to life and speak, preach, move, and cry and shout!  The most advanced robotics and AI generated videos and images and robotics are so close right NOW to looking, sounding, and FEELING like humans – humans who can talk, reason, analyze, and even duplicate YOU and me if need be!  It won’t be hard to make that image of the Beast come to life with AI (artificial intelligence) — which seems to be everywhere.  I pose that as something to think about. I still do think it probably will be done by Satan’s power, and not AI. 

You might want to check out my two sermons on the Beast and False Prophet of Revelation 13 on this website. 

You can be watching sermons soon of well known pastors that are not REAL – but sure LOOK real, sound real, same voice cadence, and he’s PREACHING and it’s sounding interesting – but it’s not of God. They could even duplicate ME or anyone else and have me saying things I never would say, but it will sound to YOU like it’s ME. This is also why it’s going to be more and more VITAL that each of us KNOW The WORD and DOUBLE CHECK authenticity a lot in the coming months and years.

YOUTUBE news:  ONE MORE area to really be on guard for:  false information, false “news” as something very scary and serious that has just happened – but in fact has not happened. YouTube news sources can be particularly notorious for this. If you see YouTube news flashes that say that Ukraine has just surrendered totally in Aug 2025, or that Pope Leo 14th has removed six cardinals from their high offices in the Vatican, or that China just recently tried to shoot down  one of our B2 bombers near Taiwan in recent days – none of these have happened.  Or that the Jerusalem Third Temple has begun actual construction in Aug 2025 but it’s far from the Temple Mount – nope, that hasn’t happened either. 

If you spend enormous amounts of time watching YouTube news flashes, I caution you to be very skeptical  of unbelievable news.  Or at least check them out on search engines first.

Don’t be deceived!
