The Dangers of Headline Theology
Jeff Reed

“Headline theology” can be defined as searching out sensational headlines in the news upon which to base one’s biblical theology. Many supposed modern-day prophets find joy in connecting world events to their prophetic scenarios even though they continually are proven wrong and continue to move the goalposts of their predictions.

We in the Church of God International may occasionally look at world events and examine them through the lens of God’s law or prophecy. Still, we carefully avoid making dogmatic statements and identify our observations as speculation. Those who practice “headline theology” go much further. They may predict specific days or years as an absolute fulfillment of prophesied events. Or they may suggest that the end is only a few years away.

Ezekiel 1:10: "As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle" (KJV).

Ezekiel 10:14: "And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle" (KJV).

On May 25, 2026, Pope Leo XIV released his first papal encyclical, titled Magnifica Humanitas ("On safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence"). The encyclical deals with safeguarding human dignity against technological dehumanization. Why is the Pope so concerned with the dawning of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) age?

To understand why the Pope has had this document written, it would be prudent for me to give a brief explanation about AI to those of you who may not understand what could be coming in the AI age.
