The End of the World? John Lennox on AI and the Book of Revelation

Dr. John Lennox, an Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist, has written and spoken extensively on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and biblical prophecy, particularly the Book of Revelation. His primary works on the topic are his 2020 book 2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity and his 2025 book God, AI and the End of History. He also appeared in a September 2025 YouTube video titled "The End of the World? John Lennox on AI and the Book of Revelation".
Summary of Lennox's argument
In his work, Lennox explores the possibility that advanced AI, or Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), could become a tool for global deception and control, fulfilling biblical end-times prophecies.
Technology and Deception: Lennox argues that AI, especially with its capacity to create "deepfakes," has the potential to facilitate mass deception on an unprecedented scale, mirroring the biblical warnings about deception in the last days.
ASI and the Antichrist: He speculates that ASI could be used by supernatural forces, potentially the Antichrist, to achieve world domination and challenge the authority of God. He suggests that some scientists' transhumanist visions of creating god-like superintelligence align with end-times prophecies.
The mark of the Beast: Lennox considers how modern technology, such as surveillance systems, could be used to fulfill the "mark of the Beast" prophecy from Revelation.
AI vs. Humanity: He distinguishes between human abilities, created in God's image, and what machines can do. He warns against humanity's desire to become god-like through technology and instead points to the Christian message of redemption.
Hope, not fear: Despite the alarming possibilities, Lennox presents his work as a source of courage and discernment for Christians rather than a cause for fear. He emphasizes that the end of history is not in the hands of AI developers but ultimately under God's control.
