Christian AI and the Second Coming: Mayan World Astrology Report November 2025
The uncomfortable questions about Jesus’ return that no one wants to ask.
The Dawn Between Worlds
Today, we transition from the trecena of Oc/Tz’i—the faithful dog who smells injustice from distances others cannot perceive—into the trecena of Akbal/Aq’ab’al: the Night, the Dawn, the threshold between darkness and revelation. In the ancient Maya understanding, the duality of day and night crystallizes at the moment of dawn. This is when both the dying night and the coming day are visible simultaneously. This is when choices matter most.
We stand at such a dawn now…
The last trecena has traced the action tracks of corruption: a cryptocurrency billionaire who facilitated terrorism and child abuse, pardoned after enriching a presidential family with billions. Religious leaders who claim moral authority, silent or celebrating because power serves their interests. And now, a new scent on the wind: Christian AI, backed by $110 million, designed to influence Silicon Valley and Congress, with an executive chairman who states plainly that his “life mission has been to work on a piece of technology that would improve the quality of life of every human on the planet and hasten the coming of Christ’s return.”
Patrick Gelsinger—former Intel CEO, now executive chairman of a company called Gloo—is not speaking metaphorically. He means it literally. His company builds AI tools and chatbots for churches, creates “Kingdom-Aligned Large Language Models,” and actively lobbies for Christian influence in the tech industry and halls of government. At a seminar at Colorado Christian University, Gelsinger compared AI to the Gutenberg printing press, suggesting it represents another Reformation-level opportunity to reshape civilization through Christian values.
This trecena of revelation should compel us to ask the questions that this “Christian AI” will never ask.
What if they succeed? What if technology could actually hasten Christ’s return?
What would that mean?
The Question Silicon Valley Will NOT Touch
Let us speak with the clarity that dawn demands. If Christ returns—if the Second Coming validates Christianity as “the” path, “the” truth, “the” way—then certain theological implications become inescapable. These are not abstract questions. They are questions about the character of God, the nature of justice and what we are actually claiming when we say one tradition holds exclusive truth.
Would Christ’s Return Prove God Has a Favorite Race?
If Christianity is the singular path to salvation and Christ returns to confirm it, what does that say about the billions of humans born into other traditions? What about the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, whose sophisticated spiritual systems—including the Mayan calendar we are referencing right now—were systematically destroyed by Christian colonizers who believed they were saving souls?
What about the Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Taoists and countless others who lived and died in deep spiritual practice, but in the “wrong” tradition? Were they simply born in the wrong geography? Did God arrange the accident of birth so that being born in Europe or among colonizers gave you access to truth, while being born in the Yucatan or Tibet or Mecca meant you were fundamentally mistaken about the nature of reality?
Does God have a favorite race? A chosen geography? A preferred language in which prayers are heard?
If any religion’s culturally informed eschatology reckons the apocalypse to validate exclusivity, the answer must be yes.
Would It Validate Wealth as Divine Favor?
Who has the resources to build “Christian AI”? Tech billionaires. Who gets access to Silicon Valley’s corridors of power? The wealthy. Who gets pardoned after facilitating terrorism, ransomware, and the distribution of child sexual abuse material? Changpeng Zhao—after his company invested billions in a stablecoin that generates tens of millions in annual profits for a presidential family.
This is the system in which Christian AI is being built. This is the ecosystem that Gloo’s $110 million is meant to influence.
If Christ returns in this context, does it confirm that wealth equals divine favor? That the rich man can, in fact, pass through the eye of a needle if he is rich enough to buy AI that summons the Messiah? That prosperity gospel preachers with private jets were right all along—God does favor those who accumulate?
What happened to “Blessed are the poor”? What happened to “Woe to you who are rich”? What happened to the Yeshua overturning the tables of the money-changers in the temple?
If Christ returns to validate this system, we must conclude that the gospels were ironic or that divine favor has a price tag after all.
Would It Retroactively Sanctify Colonial Genocide?
The most horrifying implication: If Christianity was “the truth” all along and Christ returns to prove it, then the forced conversions, the genocide, the cultural annihilation—all of it—becomes retrospectively justified.
The destruction of the Mayan codices, repositories of astronomical and spiritual knowledge accumulated over millennia, burned by Diego de Landa because they “contained nothing in which there was not to be seen superstition and lies of the devil.” The forced conversion of Indigenous peoples across the Americas. The Doctrine of Discovery, a papal decree that gave Christian nations the right to claim lands inhabited by non-Christians. The residential schools that tore Indigenous children from their families to “kill the Indian, save the man.”
The enslavement of Africans, justified by Christian theology and biblical interpretation. “The curse of Ham” used to claim that Black people were divinely ordained for servitude. Churches that blessed slave auctions. Pastors who preached that slavery was God’s will.
If Christ returns and Christianity is vindicated as the exclusive truth, what does that say about these atrocities? Were they unfortunate excesses in service of a greater good? Were souls “saved” even as bodies were destroyed and cultures were erased?
Or do we have to face the possibility that a God who demands this kind of violence for validation is not all-loving, but tribal—a deity of supremacy marketing universalist language?
Would It Endorse Jim Crow, Apartheid and Ongoing Oppression?
Christian churches blessed segregation in the American South. They provided theological justification for apartheid in South Africa. They condemned interracial marriage as against God’s will. They have fought against civil rights, against equality for women, against LGBTQ+ dignity—all in Christ’s name, all with biblical citations.
Christian nationalism today wraps itself in the flag and cross, advocating for policies that harm the vulnerable while claiming divine mandate. Religious rhetoric justifies family separation at borders, justifies denying healthcare, justifies environmental destruction because the End Times are coming anyway so why protect the Earth?
If Christ returns to validate this tradition, to confirm that these interpretations were correct, that these uses of scripture were divinely sanctioned—what does that say about justice? About mercy? About the “fruits by which you shall know them?”
Would It Prove Love Was Never Universal?
“For God so loved the world”—but apparently only if you accept one specific theological framework, only if you speak the right creeds, only if you were fortunate enough to be born in or converted to the correct tradition.
What about the Sufi mystics who spent lifetimes in devotion to the Divine? The Buddhist monks who achieved profound compassion through meditation? The Indigenous wisdom-keepers who maintained sacred relationships with the Earth? The Quakers who practiced radical equality and pacifism? The secular humanists who built hospitals and fought for justice without any god?
Were they all simply wrong? Will Christ’s return prove that love was never really universal, that grace was always conditional, that God’s mercy had asterisks and fine print?
If so, then we are not talking about the infinite Divine. We are talking about a limited warden who won the societal lottery.
The Information War: When Truth Becomes Tribal
Here is where the technological piece becomes critical. Because we are not just talking about theology—we are watching the weaponization of information itself.
Consider two parallel developments:
Wikipedia vs. Grokipedia: Wikipedia, for all its flaws and editorial biases, maintains radical transparency. Every edit is visible. Every change has a history. Anyone can contribute. Anyone can see the talk pages where disputes are hashed out. It’s messy, it’s imperfect, but it’s fundamentally open.
Now comes Grokipedia—Elon Musk’s AI-driven alternative. It copies Wikipedia wholesale for neutral topics, but strips citations and subtly (or not-so-subtly) edits controversial subjects to align with particular political narratives. It offers less transparency, more curation and the veneer of objective knowledge while serving ideological preferences.
Traditional Spirituality vs. “Kingdom-Aligned AI”: Similarly, Gloo’s Christian AI takes existing large language models and “fine-tunes” them to reflect specific theological beliefs. The company claims it can be customized so “the Lutherans can be good with it, the Episcopalians can be good with it, the Catholics can be good with it, the Assemblies of God can be good with it.”
But here is the problem: these are not neutral tools for exploration. They are designed to filter reality through predetermined theological frameworks. They create what we might call “alternate spiritual realities”—parallel universes where facts, ethics and truth itself conform to whatever ideology is paying for the customization.
When Patrick Gelsinger says he wants Mark Zuckerberg to care about this project, when Gloo lobbies Congress and influences Silicon Valley, they are not just building tools for individual churches. They are trying to reshape the information ecosystem so that Christian nationalist perspectives become embedded in the AI systems that will increasingly mediate human knowledge and decision-making.
This is the same pattern:
Grokipedia offers “alternative facts” for those who do not like Wikipedia’s version
Gloo offers “Kingdom-Aligned truth” for those who want their AI filtered through specific theology
Both promise certainty, both remove transparency, both create bubbles where your ideology is never challenged
The Akbal/Aq’ab’al energy sees the danger clearly: When information becomes tribal, when truth is customized to preference, when we live in parallel realities with incompatible facts and values—we lose the possibility of shared meaning. We lose common ground. We lose the ability to even recognize injustice, because the dog can no longer smell corruption when everyone lives in hermetically sealed information bubbles that validate their existing beliefs.
The Akbal/Aq’ab’al Dawn: A Choice Point
In Mayan cosmology, Akbal/Aq’ab’al carries specific wisdom for this moment. This is the sign of the twilight, of mystery, of journeys into the unknown. But it is also the sign of dawn—that crystallized moment when duality becomes visible, when both darkness and light exist simultaneously, when revelation comes.
This is crucial. The answer to weaponized Christian AI is not to reject technology. It is to shape technology consciously, transparently and in service of justice rather than supremacy.
“Duality and extremes—sometimes nothing, sometimes everything at once.” We are experiencing exactly this. On one hand, massive technological transformation. On the other, the resurgence of religious nationalism. Wikipedia vs. Grokipedia. Authentic spirituality vs. weaponized faith. The question is whether we can hold this tension consciously or whether we will collapse into tribal certainties.
The dawn demands radical self-honesty. It asks:
What am I being seduced by?
Which technologies serve actual growth versus ego and control?
Am I choosing spiritual certainty because it is true or because it is comfortable?
The Perennial Alternative: A New Spiritual Dawn
So if the Second Coming would validate supremacy and Christian AI threatens to entrench ideological bubbles and information itself is being weaponized—what is the alternative?
Perennial philosophy. Not as a vague both-sides compromise, but as a rigorous, intellectually serious approach to spirituality that can lock ram horns with this moment.
What Perennial Philosophy Offers
No Monopoly on Truth: Perennialist innovations must recognize that authentic spiritual insight appears across cultures and eras. The Mayan calendar’s sophisticated understanding of cycles and consciousness. Buddhist teachings on compassion and emptiness. Sufi mysticism’s poetry of divine love. Christian contemplative practice. Indigenous wisdom about relationship with Earth. Hindu philosophy’s explorations of consciousness.
These are not competing claims requiring one winner. They are different observations on the same mystery, different languages describing similar terrain, different practices cultivating similar transformations.
When no single tradition can claim exclusive divine mandate, the justification for violence “in God’s name” evaporates. You cannot commit genocide to save souls if you recognize that souls are being cultivated through many authentic paths.
Equality of Human Spiritual Capacity: If the divine manifests across traditions and cultures, then all humans—regardless of race, geography or birth circumstances—have equal access to spiritual realization. There are no chosen peoples, no genetic elect, no geographic advantages in accessing ultimate reality.
This is not relativism. It is the recognition that consciousness, compassion, justice and transcendence are human universals, not tribal possessions. When we recognize this, racial supremacy loses its theological foundation.
Separation of Spiritual Wisdom from Political Power: Perennial philosophy maintains that authentic spirituality serves the cultivation of wisdom, compassion and justice—not the accumulation of political influence or wealth. The moment spiritual authority gets weaponized for partisan gain, it ceases to be spiritual and becomes simply another tool of domination.
This is why the separation of church and state matters so profoundly. Not because spirituality is unimportant, but because mixing spiritual authority with state power corrupts both. The perennial approach respects diverse spiritual practice while preventing any tradition from using governmental power to enforce its vision.
Transparency Over Control: Like Wikipedia’s radical openness versus Grokipedia’s curation, perennial spirituality values transparent exploration over controlled narrative. It encourages questioning, dialogue across traditions, comparative study and the acknowledgment that our understanding of ultimate reality remains partial and evolving.
This does NOT mean “anything goes.” It means we hold our insights with humility, remain open to correction and recognize that dogmatic certainty is often a cover for the desire to control others.
What This Requires in Practice
Expertise: Alternative spiritual leaders must be scholars as well as practitioners. They need deep knowledge of multiple traditions—not superficial familiarity, but serious engagement with texts, practices, histories and philosophies. They must be able to debate those who claim exclusive truth, using their own sources to show when traditions are being twisted for political ends.
Courage: Speaking against religious supremacy will invite accusations of being “anti-Christian” or “anti-religious.” In reality, the perennial approach defends authentic spirituality from those who weaponize it. But this requires the Oc/Tz’i courage—loyalty to truth over social acceptance, discipline to maintain integrity under pressure.
Practical Engagement: This cannot remain theoretical. Perennial spiritual leaders must:
Enter interfaith dialogues and public debates
Write op-eds and create educational content
Build coalitions with others who understand democracy requires checking religious dominance
Use technology transparently—creating tools for exploration rather than indoctrination
Run for office if necessary or support candidates who respect spiritual pluralism
Comparative Religious Literacy: We need educational systems that teach about multiple spiritual traditions—not to convert anyone, but to build literacy about how humans across cultures have approached meaning, ethics and transcendence. When people understand Buddhism, Hinduism, Indigenous spiritualities and Islam with the same depth they understand their own tradition, religious supremacy becomes obviously provincial.
Why This Matters: The Stakes Are Existential
If we fail at this—if Christian AI successfully embeds supremacist theology into the information systems that will mediate human knowledge and decision-making, if Grokipedia-style realities fragment us into incompatible truth-bubbles, if wealth continues buying divine legitimacy—then we will not have learned from history. We will repeat the patterns of colonial genocide, religious war and the marriage of spiritual authority with political violence.
But this time with AI-enhanced efficiency.
This is not hyperbole. When religious supremacy gains technological and governmental power, atrocities follow. Not because religious people are bad, but because exclusivist claims combined with the power to enforce them create the conditions for systematic oppression and violence.
The perennial alternative offers something different: a spirituality that recognizes equality, that prevents killing in the name of any god, that cultivates wisdom without requiring supremacy.
This is what the Akbal/Aq’ab’al dawn reveals.
We need spiritual leaders who can stand at this threshold and say: “No. We will not allow faith to be weaponized. We will not let technology become a tool of theological domination. We will not accept that any tradition—no matter how beautiful its insights—has a monopoly on truth that justifies the subordination or erasure of others.”
We need voices that can articulate why diversity of belief is strength, not threat. Why the divine manifests in countless ways. Why no single path holds exclusive righteousness.
We need prophets who will name corruption when they see it—whether it is a cryptocurrency criminal pardoned for enriching the powerful, or an AI project claiming to summon the Messiah while lobbying Congress and Silicon Valley.
The Dawn Choice: What Will We Bring Into the Light?
