Pastor Caspar's Commentaries: The Cyborg Revolution

Yes cyborgs are real today and have been for some time. If your grandmother has cochlear implants, she’s a cyborg. The cochlear implants helps transform sound vibrations reaching the ear into signals that can be sent to the auditory nerve providing a way to hear again. If your grandpapa has a pacemaker, he’s also technically cyborg.

Neuralink’s founder, is Elon Musk. Why do you think Musk wants to make cyborgs? Could it be for the same reason he wants to make electric cars and colonise Mars: to save mankind before we destroy ourselves? Musk like many others today believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon bring about a Post Human world. A number of transhumanist are predicting this eventuality by 2030. 

Some year ago I recall reading about Kevin Warwick who is cybernetics professor at the University of Reading in the U.K. who decided to offer up his own body for the sake of science. Warwick is also the founder of Project Cyborg, and had a desire to become the world’s most complete cyborg. He’s been experimenting with the technology since 1998, when he went and implanted a microchip in his arm that allowed him to do such things like operate doors, and appliances, and other devices through merely using arm gestures. Sort of like Royalty waving to the crowds. He waves his arm and the lights turn on or off.  

If you think that is strange, there is the account of Neil Harbisson who was born with achromatopsia, which is a rather extreme form of colour blindness, so that he saw the world only in black-and-white. Nevertheless, thanks to such new advances in scientific technologies after being implanted with a specialised electronic eye, he is now able to not only see colours, but he is able to see colors beyond the scope of normal perception. 

The electronic eye device renders perceived colours as sounds on the musical scale, allowing him to now “hear” colour. Scientist are so delighted that Harbisson has adapted so jolly well to the new way of perceiving colour that they soon discovered that his brain has since formed neural pathways as a result that has allowed him to develop an advanced kind of perception. Harbisson was quoted as saying “For me, a cyborg is someone who feels their technology is a part of their biology”. Yes its not just coming my friends, it is already here with numerous people who have integrated a device or several devices into their body and this has added something to their capability in their senses  above and beyond what’s currently normal for humans. 

We read in Matthew 24:22,”And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.” 

I am certainly not against using advance scientific technologies to help someone who has a handicap or has suffered some serious bith defect, however what are the chances someone or some organisation shall misuse such technologies for nefarious purposes? 

Meanwhile, most of the church today continues to ignore the signs of the time and have a good sleeps in.  Anyone remember how the Lord Jesus/Yeshua asked his disciple in the Garden to stay awake and pray for him, instead to his frustration they kept falling asleep. (See Matthew 26)

James 1:22 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” The Lord Jesus/Yeshua said in John 10:27,” My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” Fight back overcomers, trust Papa God for every detail and stay in faith! Jesus said in Luke 21:15, “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.’ I say hallelujah! Because “All”, things are possible with God! I pray the Lord’s supernatural peace, healing, provision and protection cover you always with oceans of agape love in the almighty name of Jesus/Yeshua!
