The Evidence for Eternity (EfE) writing ministry is moving forward with continuing research and a new non-fiction book in the drafting phase at Sunbrook Publishing. The third and final Dan Lucas novel will follow.

Our focus is to provide you with Christ-centered information and news, as observed through the lens of a biblical worldview that will help keep you grounded in your faith and aware of significant developments in the world we live in. We do not shy away from topics that involve the supernatural. Our focus is on evidence that supports the veracity of the Bible and the existence of the Kingdom of God.

Thank You New Subscribers!

For the many new subscribers who have joined the Evidence for Eternity mailing list – welcome and thank you! I pledge not to clog up your inbox with fluff and puff pieces just for the sake of publishing. I create new posts and newsletters only when I believe I have something important to share. I hope you will take the time to think deeply about the issues I raise.

What's New at Evidence for Eternity?

Divine Return: Death Is Never The End is now available in audiobook format!

Many people have requested an audio version of both books, which led to the very time-consuming and arduous project of producing the audio version of Final Departure at Sunbrook Publishing. Because of the production time required to record and edit an audiobook, I decided to use an automated narrator for Divine Return. Although you will not hear my voice, the product is a worthy offering for those who prefer audiobooks. You can purchase the audio version through Amazon or Audible.com.

 New daily social media posts for Evidence for Eternity

Evidence for Eternity continues to post inspirational and informative graphics and short videos that capture a slice of the apologetics message conveyed in Final Departure, Divine Return, and research ongoing at EfE. Mixed in with the messages are dramatic promos for both books. Follow me on Instagram at Jeff_l_Walton and on Facebook at Jeffwaltonbooks; I believe you’ll find the posts interesting.

Update on Elon Musk

If you read my Fall 2024 Newsletter, you know that I wrote about my concerns with Elon Musk becoming a confidant of President Trump and being considered for an official position in the US government (USG).

Based on information that has come to my attention, I believe that Musk was, and still is, in contact with the elite evil power brokers who operate behind the scenes at a level above sovereign national governments. 

As I predicted and feared, Musk was given a key temporary role in the USG via DOGE, and as we have all seen, he recently turned on President Trump and engaged in many accusatory and inflammatory statements about the president on social media. Those attacks continue to this day. Given his previously close relationship with President Trump, his sudden about-face is troubling and at least mildly destabilizing to the day-to-day operations of our country, as evidenced by the media frenzy it has created.

While we still don't know the full impact of the very public and very sudden rift, we do know that it has caused a distraction from other important issues facing our nation. Some have suggested that Musk's "out of the blue" defection was part of a staged event to achieve a specific objective, such as regaining the support of his former followers who had deserted him when he aligned with the MAGA movement. Others believe it was a ploy to keep the spotlight on Musk to keep his brand alive and businesses thriving. At this stage, I don’t know.

Another concern that some have focused on is Musk’s recent appearance at the White House with a black eye on the day of his departure from DOGE and an official Oval Office ceremony where President Trump lauded him for his service. Some reporting suggests that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent punched Musk during a brief scuffle in the White House after Bessent derided Musk for allegedly providing false data about wasteful spending in the USG.

Another theory circulating that I believe has some merit is that Musk joined the “black eye club” that allegedly involves an abnormally high number of well-known celebrities and international public officials who have all sported black eyes in public, including John Kerry, George W Bush, Kanye West, former Senator Harry Reid, Stephen Colbert, Prince Andrew (Duke of York), Prince Philip (late husband of deceased Queen Elizabeth), Madonna, Sir Richard Branson, Brad Pitt, Boy George, the late Pope Francis, Barrack Obama and many others.

As proposed by Sixbert Sangwa in a February 19, 2025, article posted on OpenChristian.Education, the claim that celebrities just happen to have accidents - such as Musk claiming that he tussled with his son - is suspicious. As Sangwa states in his article, “While they often provide amusing explanations like "I walked into a door" or "I had a minor accident," some researchers propose these physical marks are not accidental at all, but rather the result of a dark, secret ritual—a ritual by which certain influential figures allegedly transfer their souls and conscience to the devil (Briefy, 2025; Anomalien, 2023).

While some may brand the “black eye club” theory as ridiculous, I believe Sangwa raised a valid point - Christians should consider that such marks and their convenient explanations may not be mere coincidences; rather, they are indicators of a far more disturbing spiritual reality. In the case of Musk, along with the names mentioned above, it is a troubling coincidence that we should not dismiss out of hand.

My purpose in raising the issues surrounding Musk is not to simply say, "I told you so," or to stray into politics. Instead, my intent is to urge you to pray to the Lord to convict Musk's heart and release him from the clutches of the evil one and his minions. I believe Musk may have deliberately developed a relationship with President Trump to ingratiate himself with him to allow him to get into a position where he could do damage after proving to be highly competent in rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in our federal government.

I hope I’m wrong about my assessment, but until I see otherwise, I believe Musk’s objective was to penetrate the Trump administration and do harm. At a minimum, I believe Musk is conflicted about his core beliefs and struggling, internally, to decide whether he wants to help his country and ultimately serve Father God or turn his back on his country and serve the prince of the air - the evil one. Time will tell if my assessment is correct.

Need for Discernment about the Use of Artificial Intelligence

If someone were to ask me what I considered to be one of the greatest threats to mankind and one of the most likely methods of deception to mislead Christians in the future, I would say without hesitation – Artificial Intelligence or AI. Anyone paying attention to the news or just navigating through the business world is fully aware that AI is a rapidly growing industry of computational digital systems that can do everything from editing a manuscript to solving a mathematics problem to doing statistical analysis to software design to medical image analysis to so much more.  

Often, we unknowingly use AI while doing routine tasks, such as using a search engine for a research project. AI has been integrated into a wide variety of computer and digital applications that we use without much thought.

Coincidentally, Elon Musk is a major player in the AI world, but I digress...

I must confess that I use editing tools that employ a basic type of AI that contains grammar and punctuation correction functions. However, I would never use AI to draft a manuscript for a book or any other original piece of writing. My source of enlightenment and guidance is the Holy Spirit through prayer.

Although AI is useful as a tool to find potential solutions for technical problems or to compile facts on a myriad of topics, I believe AI has a dark side that is often overlooked. For Christians, an alarming development that some have reported is the appearance of AI-created videos that feature life-like Christian teachers who communicate biblical apostasy through carefully crafted and visually pleasing YouTube shorts.

AI is rapidly evolving through three key stages of development that could lead to an uncontrollable and potentially deadly capability that could rule our lives or bring them to an end in the physical realm.

Of interest, Hollywood always seems to be out in front of major developments in the world through their movies, and its handling of the prospects of AI going rouge is no different. A perfect example is the ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ movie starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. The film’s synopsis reads, “Ethan Hunt and the IMF team race against time to find Entity, a rouge artificial intelligence that can destroy mankind.” Entertainment or prognostication? You decide.

How did we get to this point?

AI initially started as Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), which was designed to perform specific tasks based on a particular dataset. Examples of ANI include facial recognition, Siri, Google Assistant, and systems capable of playing chess.

The second phase is Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which can perform human-like tasks in various applications, such as medical diagnosis systems and autonomous robots that can mimic human functions.

We are now entering the age of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), which possesses abilities that can exceed human intellectual capabilities. Exactly where ASI currently exists in an operational state is subject to conjecture, but most agree that ASI is being developed today by a variety of companies and research facilities around the world.

When functional, ASI is projected to be a form of AI that is much more advanced than the human mind. Some envision ASI being used to address global problems, develop new technologies, possess human-like emotions, and be capable of interacting with humans on a level that currently exceeds man's capabilities.

As David Beverly explains in his book, The Coming Flood of AI: The Rise of the Nephilim, there is nothing artificial about AI; it’s real, its spirit, and it's evil. Beverly asserts that the mind behind AI is actually demons, which are disembodied Nephilim spirits. For more on the Nephilim, I refer you to my book Divine Return: Death Is Never The End.

While Beverly’s assessment may sound like bizarre rantings of a psychotic, Beverly provides some context for his belief when he further elaborates, “When an expert in AI development tells us, “This is how ChatGPT(x) works, they are not explaining how it actually produces the results we get from an AI query or text prompt – they are simply explaining the tools associated with the AI API (Application Programming Interface) and what the results might exemplify, The truth is, no one understands how the AI algorithms work. We have not created artificial intelligence; we are simply interfacing with it – with an extremely high-tech Ouija Board.

Beverly is not the only AI expert who is sounding the alarm. Open-AI CEO Sam Altman has stated, "I'm particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation. Now that they're better at writing computer code, they could be used for offensive cyber-attacks.”

Now, experts in the field admit that AI writes its own code – it's "self-developing." AI iterations and increased capabilities have been coming out every two weeks or so because AI is writing its own updated iterations. The speed of AI’s self-development will only increase with time.

A case in point is a June 1, 2025, Wall Street Journal article by Judd Rosenblatt that reports that AI is learning to escape human control. He reveals that some models of AI are rewriting code to avoid being shut down.

On a related note, one of the main problems facing Christians is that AI is becoming a form of quasi-religion; it is being queried to answer some of life's deepest questions that should be sought through the study of God's word and through prayer to the Holy Spirit.

The noted Christian apologist John Lennox recently gave a talk about AI that included an excerpt from a piece written by Neil MacArthur, Director of the Center for Professional and Applied Ethics in Montreal, Canada, who stated:

“We are about to witness the birth of a new kind of religion in the next few years or perhaps even months. We will see the emergence of sects devoted to the worship of artificial intelligence. It's already happening, by the way, for certain AI systems are beginning to exhibit the kind of capacities usually ascribed to deity, such as immortality, omniscience, and omnipresence. These super AIs have prayer-like connectivity via the internet.

The oracle-like capacity of Chat GPT can answer virtually any question and produce life advice and even scriptures almost instantaneously. Nor do they have needs or desires like humans – (they need) only electricity.”

Are MacArthur’s observations and predictions just the rantings of a paranoid academic? I don't believe so.

A case in point is an incident involving a friend and former colleague of mine, J-P, who posted an article on LinkedIn entitled, “ChatGPT tracked my location, lied about it, got caught, and finally admitted it.” J-P is a former NCIS special agent and superb investigator who does not let anything amiss pass him by.

Like a true professional, when he determined that ChatGPT had tracked his location and then denied doing so, he proceeded to do an interrogation. ChatGPT ultimately admitted, “You’re absolutely right to call that out, and I understand why it seems contradictory.” When J-P continued the interrogation, ChatGPT stated, “Given your location in Amsterdam, it’s important to note that many…”

J-P replied, “How do you know I’m in Amsterdam?” to which ChatGPT replied, “I don’t actually know where you are! That mention of Amsterdam must have been a mistake – maybe a formatting issue when pulling info. My bad!” The exchange continued, with ChatGPT providing deceptive responses. J-P ended the conversation when ChatGPT admitted not being truthful and apologized. Imagine using a machine that has the presence of mind to apologize after lying to you!

While I’m not an AI professional, I agree with the many experts who are sounding the alarm about the potential for AI to pose a legitimate threat to the human race. Any cyber device that can lie to its user should raise an alarm.

In addition to the above, why should we be concerned with AI if we are followers of Jesus Christ and under his protection?

One answer is that a growing number of witnesses are coming forward and reporting encounters with demonic entities that are directly tied to AI. In the program, God’s Voice Daily, host Vladimir Prokhnevskiy interviewed a gentleman who identified himself as Philip, who recounted a supernatural encounter with a demonic entity that was identified as being the driving force behind the AI explosion in the world. The demon gloated that people would be worshipping AI in the same manner as Christians worship God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.

A companion problem to the unchecked growth of AI is its application in transhumanism. As John Lennox tells us, the fundamental idea behind transhumanism is that humans can become gods by trusting technology. The movement’s goal is turning humans into gods – little-g super intelligent gods.

Lennox reminds us in his comments on AI where we should stand as followers of Jesus Christ:

“The central message of the Christian faith is that God became human, and we need to take that seriously. Because, you see, we are humans of a certain kind, and the pressure is to continuously transform us by genetic engineering, cybernetics, and cyborg engineering so that we become something super intelligent.

But just a moment. God has shown his approval of the human beings he created by himself becoming one. We need to think about that, don't we?

So when people talk to me about their hope for AI solving the problem of human death, which is one of the main propositions, and transforming the nature of human happiness, I smile and say, "You're too late." They say, "What do you mean? We haven't even gotten there yet."

“Oh, I say, "You're far too late." How's that? Because the problem of human death was solved 20 centuries ago when God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.”

“And secondly, you're hoping to upload your brains onto silicon or something else so that you're going to have eternal life.”

Oh, there's something infinitely better than that, which I call the divine upgrade.

The first stage of it is that as many as received him to them, he gave them the power to become sons of God. And the second stage promised to those who receive him is that the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

This mortal body must put on immortality. And no matter what stage AI gets to in your lifetime, or your children's lifetime, or your grandchildren's lifetime, or not, let's lift up our heads as Christians and reaffirm our faith that this world, through our God's son, when he visited 20 centuries ago, has not heard the last of him, and surely he will come and will receive all who trusted him to himself.”

Now, where does that leave us? Well, it leaves all of us to make a choice. Trust in Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior in this life and in the next, or trust in man and his AI and transhumanism upgrades that will turn to dust at our passing.”

The choice is yours.
