What is transhumanism? Have billionaires and globalists pushed for aspects of it? What about Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum? Is it a type of secular religion that wants to move past limits of the human body and brain? What about the Vatican, Pope Francis, or the Freemasons? Is it a false religion? Did Archbishop Carlo Maira Viganò warn against it? Could it involve Artificial Intelligence? Did Ray Kurtzweil and Yuval Noah Harar promote it? Does the Bible warn about aspects of transhumanist or AI? Can transhumanism bring eternal life or is Jesus needed for that? Does the Bible point to world leaders using religion to promote a globalist agenda? Will Europe or Rome be involved? Could the Beast to come feign Roman Catholicism and help try to change it? Are his followers prophesied to betray the city of seven hills/mountains? Steve Dupuie and Dr.Thiel go over these matters.

WEF and the ‘Transhuman religion’ agenda
Many of the globalists are pushing various aspects of what had been called transhumanism.
Notice the following:
September 13, 2023
Focusing on four specific schemes — the metaverse, cryptocurrency, space travel, and trans-humanism — Jonathan Taplin has written an exposé on the tactics he says four modern billionaires use …
Princeton professor Nigel Smith will join writer, film producer, and scholar Taplin to discuss Taplin’s new book The End of Reality: How Four Billionaires Are Selling a Fantasy Future, … The book, recently published by Public Affairs, breaks down how billionaires Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreesen, and Peter Thiel (“The Four”) capitalize on economic instability in order to sell a fantasy future — featuring their products. https://www.towntopics.com/wordpress/2023/09/13/jonathan-taplin-nigel-smith-to-discuss-metaverse-mars-and-crypto-at-ppl-event/
Yes, there are those who keep pushing the end of reality–and it is not just Big Tech billionaires.
Here is something else about other aspects of transhumanism:
Joe Allen: Transhumanism as Techno-Religion
September 12, 2023
The promises of transhumanism are many and appealing. In reality, transhumanist reality would be hell on Earth, warns Joe Allen, author and transhumanist editor of War Room: Pandemic.
In this interview with The New American, Mr. Allen dives deep into the essence of transhumanism as a technocratic worldview that fills the vacuum that is left in the absence of traditional religions. That worldview, as illustrated, among others, by one of the most influential transhumanists, Ray Kurtzweil, regards technology as the highest power in the universe. In it, people’s salvation comes from technological manipulations in the realms of nanotechnology, robotics, and genomics that would peak in the emergence of the all-powerful “God” of artificial intelligence (AI). That essentially apocalyptic point that Kurzweil called the Singularity would wipe away the old world. In practical terms, transhumanism principally orients the soul towards technology and establishes a strict regime run by algorithms where people’s lives become automated, digitalized and stripped of free will. Notably, societies and individuals are already immersed in this regime to various degrees.
Transhumanism, said the editor, “is profound worldly power in direct opposition to God, to the source from which we come, and to our ultimate destination. And I see this as being probably a very painful moment in human history as we go forward.” https://thenewamerican.com/video/joe-allen-transhumanism-as-techno-religion/
Well, globalists are basically against the God of the Bible and many of the so-called elite of this world want to make a god in their own image.
The Bible warns that before the Day of the Lord (Isaiah 2:11), the following will happen:
8 Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made. (Isaiah 2:8)
The transhumanist agenda is consistent with the above prophecy.
As far as transhumanism and prophecy go, notice the following:
Transhumanism: Savior of humanity or false prophecy?
July 27, 2022
Transhumanism is an intellectual and technological paradigm that seeks to leverage this progress to further enhance the human condition. It cultivates a belief wherein by freeing the human body and mind of their biological limitations, humanity will transcend into a future unconstrained by death. … on the one hand, we have technologies that are lengthening and improving the quality of our lives. But on the other hand, we are promised a techno-optimistic future where humans are immortal. History is rife with con artists promising the elixir of life. Is transhumanism any different? Is transhumanism the savior of humanity — or a false prophecy? …
Ensuring our bodies survive indefinitely through regeneration isn’t the only route to immortality. As many sci-fi enthusiasts will vouch, one day, we might upload our minds into vast supercomputers. …
Share Transhumanism: Savior of humanity or false prophecy? on LinkedIn
In the blink of an eye on the evolutionary timescale, humans climbed down the trees, changed the landscape of this planet like no species before, and left their footprint in space. At each stage in the evolution of modern humans, we have strived to break free from the limits imposed upon us by biology. A major part of the human journey has been the development of new technologies, a phenomenon that has grown exponentially over the last century.
Transhumanism now and in the future
Transhumanism is an intellectual and technological paradigm that seeks to leverage this progress to further enhance the human condition. It cultivates a belief wherein by freeing the human body and mind of their biological limitations, humanity will transcend into a future unconstrained by death.
What does transhumanism look like? Its proponents promise a world where lifespan-extending breakthroughs allow us to live longer. Transhumanism will push research toward anti-aging treatments that let us stay healthy for a greater proportion of our longer lives. Mind-controlled prosthetics will offer disabled people the opportunity to regain control of their limbs.
Indeed, much of this is already happening. For instance, cochlear implants restore a sense of hearing, and pacemakers can add decades to patients’ lifespans. Recently, surgeons at the University of Maryland Medical Center transplanted a pig heart into a patient. Through genetic engineering, the scientists subdued the immune responses that would have otherwise made the patient’s body reject the organ. (Unfortunately, he later died.) In the future, transhumanists claim, we may be able to regenerate our organs, including hearts and brains, such that they never grow old. …
Many in the movement suggest that a “singularity” is the inescapable outcome of exponential technological progress. In such a future, they claim, it would be possible for humans to upload their minds to a computer and live forever in the digital realm.
Additionally, the entire notion that the brain or consciousness is “uploadable” is dubious. It stems in large part from the belief that our brains are like computers. However, that comparison is not correct. The brain as a computer is just a useful metaphor comparing the complexity of brains to that of humanity’s most sophisticated invention; it is not biologically accurate. The brain does not operate like a computer.
Reductionism: A fatal flaw in transhumanism?
Ultimately, all these objections to transhumanism are rooted in a critique of reductionism. Biological systems cannot be reduced to interactions between cells and genes. Cellular systems cannot be reduced to interactions between chemicals. https://bigthink.com/the-future/transhumanism-savior-humanity-false-prophecy/
No, transhumanism is not the way to eternal life.
Those of us who believe the Bible realize that Jesus:
9 … became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. (Hebrews 5:9)
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:15-16)
It is because of God’s love and Jesus’ sacrifice that we can have immorality–eternal life.
No manmade religion can provide that.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) posted:
The central premise of transhumanism, then, is that biological evolution will eventually be overtaken by advances in genetic, wearable and implantable technologies that artificially expedite the evolutionary process. 04/10/2018 https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/04/transhumanism-advances-in-technology-could-already-put-evolution-into-hyperdrive-but-should-they/
Now, let’s look at the following report related to the founder of the WEF:
Globalist Klaus Schwab made it clear that transhumanism is an integral part of “The Great Reset” when he said that the fourth industrial revolution would “lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity,” which in his book he clarifies is implantable microchips that can read your thoughts. …
The agenda is primarily based around dismantling the current capitalist system in favor of greater centralized technocrat rule which will lead to lower living standards, less fuel consumption, fewer civil liberties and the accelerated automation of jobs. …
“What the fourth industrial revolution will lead to is a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity,” Schwab told the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. …
“As capabilities in this area improve, the temptation for law enforcement agencies and courts to use techniques to determine the likelihood of criminal activity, assess guilt or even possibly retrieve memories directly from people’s brains will increase,” writes Schwab.
“Even crossing a national border might one day involve a detailed brain scan to assess an individual’s security risk.”
Schwab also waxes lyrical about the transhumanist utopian dream shared by all elitists which will ultimately lead to the creation of human cyborgs.
“Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies will not stop at becoming part of the physical world around us—they will become part of us,” writes Schwab.
“Indeed, some of us already feel that our smartphones have become an extension of ourselves.
“Today’s external devices — from wearable computers to virtual reality headsets — will almost certainly become implantable in our bodies and brains.” 11/17/20 https://humansbefree.com/2020/11/klaus-schwab-great-reset-implantable-microchips.html
SpaceX and Neuralink founder Elon Musk suggested that in order for humans to stay relevant in the age of AI, we must merge with machines. He’s not alone. … transhumanism, an idea proposed by World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab in his book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution. In a 2021 interview with 60 Minutes, a prominent WEF member, Yuval Noah Harari, stated: “We will soon have the power to re-engineer our bodies and brains, whether it is with genetic engineering or by directly connecting brains to computers or by creating completely non-organic entities—artificial intelligence (AI)—which is not based at all on the organic body or the organic brain. And these technologies are developing at breakneck speed.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2022/09/09/communicating-futuristic-concepts-perception-is-everything/?sh=414563aa1e9b
Although the Vatican supports the WEF and many aspects of the transhumanist agenda, there are some Roman Catholic leaders with concerns about it.
A reader sent me a link related to the following by Archbishop Carlo Maira Viganò:
July 28, 2021
Francis has once again disavowed the pious illusion of the hermeneutic of continuity, … there is a blatant difference in behavior, from which one can grasp the partiality and partisanship of Francis in favor of any ideology, thought, project, scientific, artistic or literary expression that is not Catholic. …
Not only does he not condemn abortionist politicians who proclaim themselves Catholics, but he intervenes to prevent the Episcopal Conference from pronouncing on this matter, …
A duplicity that is a façade, of course, daily disavowed by positions that are anything but prudent in favor of a very specific group, which for the sake of brevity we can identify with the ideological Left, indeed with its most recent evolution in a globalist, ecologist, transhuman and LGBTQ key. …
I think that it has been understood that both civil society and the Church suffer from the same cancer that struck the former with the French Revolution and the latter with the Second Vatican Council: in both cases, Masonic thought is at the foundation of the systematic demolition of the institution and its replacement with a simulacrum that maintains its external appearances, hierarchical structure, and coercive force, but with purposes diametrically opposed to those it ought to have. https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/articles/item/5508-the-stones-cry-out-archbishop-vigano-on-traditionis-custodes/
The WEF, along with the Vatican, and many of the Freemasons wants to have Europe arise, dominate the world economically, and put in place its secularist technological agenda.
They believe that will result in peace.
The Bible tells of one to arise in Europe who will deceitfully arise promoting peace:
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).
23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24, NKJV)
Some small group is going to back this leader. It is not certain that it is WEF, but it looks like a group that would be supporters of the Beast’s agenda.
But, the Bible also shows that religion will be involved. Some have included things like GMO foods as an aspect of the transhumanist agenda–as well as suppression of ‘mal-information’–information governments and Big Tech do not want people to see.
The Bible warns, in Romans 1, “against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (verse 18) and those “Professing to be wise” who “became fools” (verse 22).
Despite many secular aspects of transhumanism, the Vatican shares many of its objectives, and wants religion to play a role.
Consider that the Bible warns of a power with a compromised religion (Revelation 17) that is involved in politics:
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:1-5)
It would seem reasonable that transhumanists will support this.
Let me add that it has long been my position, based on scriptures such as Daniel 11:38, that the Beast leader would, temporarily, feign some type of Catholicism. So much so, that he would perhaps initiate a ‘new order’ within Roman Catholicism–yes it will be a CHANGE to what is now considered to be Roman Catholicism.
I do not believe this leader will truly be a believer in Roman Catholicism, but will use that faith and persuade it to compromise. He and the false prophet/beast of the earth, will promote a compromised version of Roman Catholicism, but not really even believe that.
Vatican involvement is clearly shown with the beast:
7 … I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her … 9 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. (Revelation 17:7,9)
According to even Roman Catholic scholars the seven mountains/hills are a reference to Rome.
Notice a similarity to how the Beast gains his power and what we previously read in Daniel 11:23-24:
12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
The Vatican has supported the European Union and various European goals.
Now, although the beast and supporters appear to be in league with the Vatican (as the first 13 verses of Revelation 17 support), notice that supporters of the Beast will turn against the Church of Rome:
15 Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 17:15-18)
Well “that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth” is a reference to the compromised Church of Rome.
That said, notice also the following from the Bible:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
It takes modern technology to control buying and selling like is prophesied.
It also is likely that many people will have computer microchips in their bodies to buy and sell. That seems like an aspect of transhumanism.
While transhumanism per se is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, its appearance is consistent with biblical warnings about what will come to pass.

Here is a link to our video: Transhumanist Religion?
Many are working towards a world of digital controls with artificial religion that will not lead to liberty.
The good news, however, is that the world that the globalists and transhumanists are working on will be replaced by the coming Kingdom of God (cf. Revelation 17:14, 19:1-21).
