Reality’s Collapse

French philosopher Jean Baudrillard’s theory of simulacrum and simulation posited that in postmodern society, signs and symbols have become so detached from reality that they precede and determine our experience of it. We’re no longer dealing with a copy of reality, but a copy of a copy, ad infinitum, until the distinction between real and simulated collapses entirely. Nowhere is this more evident than in the rise of AI-generated content on platforms like Instagram.

The Instagram Illusion: Where Reality Goes to Die

Think about it: meticulously crafted posts, filtered to perfection, and increasingly, images and videos generated entirely by AI. We’re presented with a curated, often fabricated version of reality, blurring the lines between what’s genuine and what’s manufactured. People present idealized versions of themselves, their lives, even their very existence, often amplified by AI tools. This isn’t just about pretty pictures; it’s about the erosion of authentic human experience. We’re consuming and contributing to a simulacrum, a hyperreality where the simulation is the reality, and the real is increasingly irrelevant.

The Tragic Consequences: A Future Unmoored

The consequences of this collapse are profound. We’re losing our ability to discern truth from fiction, fostering a culture of superficiality and disconnection. Our expectations become warped, leading to dissatisfaction and anxiety when confronted with the messy, imperfect reality of everyday life. How can we build meaningful connections, make sound decisions, or even understand ourselves when our perception of the world is so thoroughly mediated and manipulated? The future, built on such shaky foundations, is precarious.

A Glimmer of Hope: The Apocalypse and the Kingdom

But amidst this digital haze, a glimmer of hope remains. The coming Apocalypse, a period of profound upheaval and transformation, will shatter these illusions. The carefully constructed facades will crumble, revealing the emptiness beneath. For many, this will be a devastating experience, a confrontation with the void. But for those who have cultivated inner strength, who have sought truth beyond the simulated world, this collapse will be a liberation.

Revelation 21:7: A Promise of True Reality

As Revelation 21:7 promises, “The one who conquers will inherit all things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” This isn’t just a religious statement; it’s a promise of access to true reality, a reality beyond the simulacrum, a reality grounded in divine truth. Those who rise during the Apocalypse, who embrace the authentic self and connect with the divine, will inherit this true reality, the Kingdom of God. They will become the inheritors of a world beyond the illusions, a world of genuine connection, purpose, and meaning.

Here at FTC Harvest, we are already 1/3 of the way through our process. If you are still part of this pseudo-reality, now is the time to leave this entire dead sphere behind, or it will swallow you alive. This is what the most important laws of these end times are all about (Rev. 14:7, Rev. 18:4).
