In my mind, I think the book of Revelation is going to start making more and more sense the fact AI might help explain a lot of it. As to this image that speaks, that's basically what AI is doing.
David, what will make the statue image appear to come to life and speak will be because Satan will indwell it.
The statue image will go up in flames and turned to ashes when Jesus returns. Exposing Satan there on the temple mount.
Ezekiel 28:16-19 indicates that will happen.
Ezekiel 28:
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground,
I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will
I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never
shalt thou
be any more.
