A viral fake AI-generated video showing Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk has sparked controversy, but the real issue is the growing tendency to elevate individuals to near-messianic status. Whether it be political figures, tech billionaires, or cultural icons, society is increasingly placing its faith in men rather than in God. This aligns with the biblical warning that in the last days, people will look to leaders who promise solutions rather than turning to Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
The embrace of celebrity leaders is part of the preconditioning for the arrival of the Antichrist. The Bible warns that a powerful, charismatic figure will rise, deceiving the world with promises of peace and prosperity (Revelation 13:3-4). The world is being conditioned to follow such figures blindly, a dangerous trend that makes people susceptible to deception.
Rather than getting caught up in the cult of personality, Christians must remember that our hope is not in any political leader or innovator but in Christ alone. The world will continue to look for saviors among men, but only Jesus offers true salvation.
