(Ai) Now Joshua Sent Men To Ai.

“Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the country.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.”
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭7‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬

The "bible story about Ai” refers to the ancient Canaanite city of Ai in the Book of Joshua (chapters 7 and 8), not modern artificial intelligence.
Having said that, the spiritual source of artificial intelligence goes back to the book of Genesis and Joshua 7 and 8, and may well develop into an enemy of God’s people if it hasn’t already.
AI was a place and a way of life; but doesn’t fit into God’s plans of Holiness. The Hebrew translation for AI is a “heap of ruins”.
Ai is first mentioned in Genesis 12:8 as a geographical marker when Abraham camps and builds an altar to the Lord on a hill east of Bethel with Bethel on the west and AI on the east.

With Bethel central, spiritually, people can go in either direction, west to the altar or east to AI.
They have to choose where to place their trust.
Bethel means “House of God, while AI means “heap of ruins”. That is the choice that shall challenge Christians in the near future as we approach the cashless society and the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:11-18).
We are already seeing people turning to AI for sexual gratification and other immoral entertainments. Furthermore, as time moves on, security, money, and trust, will be placed in AI rather than God. Many are seeking AI even for understanding of Gods Word.
With that in mind, it’s not hard to see that many will take the mark of the beast-an implant or chip to replace money and security. It all sounds very convenient to not need payment cards, car keys, or passwords, for everything shall be stored in the chip.
What people won’t see is the level of control world leaders will have over the nations.

AI is an attack on Jesus way of life-giving total control to a small group of leaders that plan to take us into the New World Order. One religion, not Christianity; one cashless monetary system, and one self appointed government over the whole world. The plan is to enslave the people and keep them in captivity.
After successfully conquering Jericho, the Israelites sent a small force of about 3,000 men to attack the smaller city of Ai. Unexpectedly, the defenders of Ai routed the Israelites, killing 36 men.
Joshua prayed to God and learned that the defeat happened because an Israelite named Achan had secretly stolen forbidden gold, silver, and a Babylonian robe from Jericho. After Achan’s sin was discovered and judged, God restored His favour to Israel.
In today’s world, should an AI army rise against God’s people (Israel), because of the corruption within, it’s likely that God’s people would be shut down until a time of repentance revived the church.
Joshua created a new battle plan to capture Ai. He hid an ambush force behind the city at night, while he led the main army in front of it. When Joshua's main force pretended to retreat, the men of Ai chased them, leaving the city empty and undefended. To fight the creators of AI, a plan of nationwide repentance would need to be developed to defeat this artificially intelligent army.
The victory is in Christ Jesus, and our battle shall be on our knees with a repentant heart.
Repentance will come as the people become desperate for provision and aware of the evil schemes and controls placed upon them.
““Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Joshua raised his spear as a signal, and the hidden ambush troops ran into Ai and set it on fire. Caught between the two Israelite forces, the entire population of about 12,000 people was defeated, the king was captured and executed, and the city was burned into a permanent ruin.

As AI develops changing the way of life as we know it, it is fast running out of time. Its king (Satan) shall be defeated. Though we are heading into the time of the mark of the beast where many will bow to AI to protect their provisions, it will become a “heap of ruins”. For in time, God’s people will rise out of desperation, they will repent and lift up their two edged sword, and rise against this evil.
“Then the LORD will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The LORD will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the LORD has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the LORD your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory be to God forever and ever! Amen.
