END TIMES PROPHECIES RARELY QUOTED BY CHRISTIANS BUT REGULARLY BY THE JEWS

I am amazed at how many end times prophecies I keep finding. As I have mentioned many times before there were 300 + prophecies of Jesus first coming that were fulfilled to the letter and we know the Pharisees and Sadducees did not acknowledge them nor do the leaders of the Orthodox or Reformed Jews of today. But there are about 2000 prophecies of the Jews Messiah’s coming that they do acknowledge, sadly they do not know it is Jesus and it is His second coming. The Jews do acknowledge these two prophecies by Isaiah and Zechariah and eagerly look forward to their fulfilment.

Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead. Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by. For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain.Isaiah 26:19-21

How amazing is this prophecy by Isaiah 2700 years ago. First we learn from these two verses that there will be a resurrection then the next verse is a little like Noah and his family entering Noah’s Ark to be protected from God’s wrath.

What about Zechariah? He was inspired to prophesy more than 500 years before Christ’s first coming:

I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah [the Jews inhabiting the land of Israel] and Jerusalem….I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it” Zechariah 12:2-3

Some think these verses apply to ancient events, but chapter 14 makes clear they refer to the future, immediately before Jesus Christ’s return:

Behold, the day of the Lord is coming….For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken….Half of the city shall go into captivity…. Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations… .And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives…. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south” Zechariah 14:1-4

Jesus confirmed these prophecies and showed Jerusalem and its environs would be the focus of political and military upheavals immediately preceding His return:

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near” (Luke 21:20).

Anyone living a century ago would have found these words difficult to comprehend. Jerusalem had been fought over many times, but for four centuries from 1517 the city had been at peace within the Ottoman Empire, with Jews living there as a minority under Turkish rule. This, however, dramatically changed in 1948 when the modern state of Israel was established, setting the stage for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Jeremiah prophesied a time when the Jewish people would no longer speak of the Exodus, yet today, they continue to celebrate Passover, as it is central to “Judaism.” This deep dive into “bible study” suggests a future “Israel prophecy” where a greater Exodus is yet to come, making the current “Passover explained” celebration a precursor to a more profound event. This “prophecy” sheds light on the enduring relevance of ancient texts.

Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers.Jeremiah 16:14-15

Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to be prepared to rule and reign with Jesus and with a “rod of iron”.

The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron,” Revelation 2:26

AS PROPHESIED CHRISTIANITY HAS DEPARTED FAR FROM ITS ROOTS

Jonathan Cahn reveals how Anti-Israel hatred has been spreading across the world, even through conservative influencers – But what does the Bible say? – And it’s all connected to end-time prophecy – and from the Book of Acts! It is amazing how this little nation, Israel which was established by God for His purposes is the centre of world events in our day. The Bible prophesied that this would be the case in the last days before Jesus returns to rescue His nation from total destruction and restore righteousness. And yet the nation did not exist prior to 1948. God had to miraculously resurrect it to fulfil Biblical prophecy.

Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to find out what is ahead.

THE MAN WHOSE BOOKS INTRODUCED MANY TO JESUS CHRIST

C. S. Lewis is one of Christianity’s most respected voices: whether as a fantasy writer whose stories have reached hundreds of millions or as an apologist and lay theologian who may be the most quoted Christian today. But what made the C. S. Lewis we all know and love? A film from the Fellowship for Performing Arts (FPA) tastefully and compellingly presents Lewis’s journey from convinced atheist to the titan of the Christian faith that he is today.

There is little doubt that C. S. Lewis will go down as one of the most influential Christian writers and minds of all time — certainly of the past few hundred years. Lewis is especially well known for writing the legendary Chronicles of Narnia, the seven-book high fantasy series which is among the most impactful book series of the last hundred years. In terms of sheer numbers (and depending on who is counting), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1950) alone is in the top eighttop ten, or top fifteen best-selling books of all time. It trails only religious texts like The BibleThe Qur’anThe Book of Mormon and The Little Red Book, masterpieces like A Tale of Two Cities (1859) and Alice in Wonderland (1865), and modern sensations like Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s (Sorcerer’s) Stone (1997). The entire series has sold some 120 million copies.

Between 2005 and 2010, three of the Narnia books — The Lion, the Witch, and the WardrobePrince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader — were made into blockbuster films on the same scale as The Lord of the Rings (with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe outperforming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the North American Box Office).

While Lewis may not have penned the most popular books of all time, he can lay claim to being a major influence on those who did. J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was rated the United Kingdom’s “most beloved book” in 2003, but famously, it was Lewis who pressed Tolkien to write the magisterial work.

The Screwtape Letters (1942), an ingenious novel-style devotional book, arguably popularised a new genre — “demonic epistolary fiction” — and has sold millions of copies around the world. The Fellowship of Performing Arts also has plans to adapt the book to film, with production to begin in 2027. In 2000, Christianity Today named Screwtape among its top 100 books of the century.

Not to be outdone, Lewis’s Mere Christianity (1952), adapted from Second World War BBC broadcasts, took the title of the “Book of the Century”. The short, systematic, and brilliantly accessible work of apologetics has been translated into thirty-six languages and sold over three and a half million copies globally.

In this video Gavin Ortlund shares about why he loves C.S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength, and why it is a helpful and important book for Christians today.

HOW DO YOU VIEW THE WORLD?

Peter Diamandis of Metatrends and Moonshots YouTube video fame chooses to view the world through the lens of evolution and abundance. I choose to look at it through God’s lens, the Bible. Why? Because it tells me what is really going on in this Cosmos and even more important it reveals the future.

Lets look at Peter’s latest report from the lens of abundance: This coming week, my next collaboration with the amazing Steven Kotler is being released (April 14th) called We Are As Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance.” We Are As Gods tells the continuing story of Abundance, both the upside and the downside, but most importantly provides a survival guide on how to navigate the decade ahead. The book offers a sweeping exploration of our species’ next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, charting humanity’s ascent from scarcity to “superabundance”… and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.

Now Let’s Talk About Some New “Proof of Abundance”

I’ve started doing something new on my Moonshots podcastsearching for and discussing recent breakthroughs or announcements that indicate how we’re transforming scarcity into superabundance on an ever-increasing basis.

This week, five stories caught my attention. Not because they’re flashy. Because they’re undeniable.

1. Renewables Hit the Halfway Mark

Renewables just crossed 49.4% of global electricity capacity. Let me say that again: nearly half of all electricity generation capacity on Earth is now renewable. Solar drove 75% of new additions, bringing the total to 5.15 terawatts. We’re at the halfway mark and the curve is accelerating. This isn’t some future projection. This is today. The energy transition is already here.

2. Lithium Battery Prices: Down 99%

In 1991, a lithium battery cost $10,000. And today? Less than $100. That’s a 99% price drop. Remember all those conversations about whether we could afford enough batteries to electrify transportation? Those are ancient history. The market solved it. Scale solved it. Technology solved it. And we’re not done: new battery chemistries are coming that will drive costs even lower. Every electric vehicle on the road is proof that Abundance doesn’t require central planning. It requires innovation and competition.

3. Lab-Grown Diamonds Below $1,000

The average price of a two-carat lab-grown diamond has fallen below $1,000: down 80% since January 2020. Compare that to a natural diamond at $22,000 to $28,000 for the same size. So much for De Beers. And yes, De Beers’ 3-months-salary campaign was one of the most successful PR brain-washings in history. They convinced generations that scarcity equals value. But technology doesn’t care about marketing. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical, optically perfect, and produced without child labor. Abundance wins.

4. AI Created 640,000 New Jobs

AI created 640,000 new jobs in the United States between 2023 and 2025, mostly in categories that didn’t exist three years ago. Not replacing jobs. Creating jobs. This is the pattern we’ve seen with every major technology transition: short-term disruption, long-term expansion. The printing press, the steam engine, electricity, the internet – all of them were supposed to end work. All of them created more opportunity than they destroyed. AI is no different. The question isn’t whether jobs will exist. It’s whether you’re building skills for the new categories or clinging to the old ones.

5. Robots + AI = Energy Abundance / The Maximo Robot

Four Maximo robots are installing 100 megawatts of solar capacity in the California desert at one panel per minute. Think about that for a second. Robots deploying renewable energy autonomously, at scale, faster than humans ever could. Once you get robots, energy, and AI all reinforcing one another, Abundance stops being theoretical. It becomes mechanical. Inevitable.

And this isn’t just a Western phenomenon. Pakistan is now generating most of its energy via solar. Solar is exploding across Africa. This is global. This is real. This is happening whether you’re paying attention or not.

The Pattern

Abundance is a pattern across multiple domains: Materials. Manufacturing. Employment. Computation. Every one of them follows the same trajectory: exponential improvement, collapsing costs, expanding access. That’s not coincidence. That’s the signature of our exponential times, the signature of increasing Abundance.

But here’s perhaps the most important question:

How does society design institutions that distribute this Abundance in a reasonable way?

Technology creates Abundance. Institutions decide who captures it. Markets, governments, legal frameworks: those are the systems that determine whether Abundance pools at the top or spreads broadly. We have the technology.

Do we have the wisdom to build institutions that match it? I think the answer is No in a world that has jettisoned God and His laws.

This is where looking through a Biblical prophetic lens is best. It reveals that we are fast approaching the end of this era when Satan has ruled planet Earth. Satan’s last strategy is shortly to play out. He empowers a man (Antichrist/Beast) who will rule the world for 3 1/2 years (42 months) prior to Jesus return to rescue Israel and restore righteousness at the battle of Armageddon..

The dragon (Satan) gave the beast (Antichrist) his power and his throne and great authority… People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast… The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.” Revelation 13:2,3,5

Economic control is imposed with the mark of the Beast on the forehead or hand: a universal, mandatory mark (or its equivalent: the name or number of the beast) linked to worship of the beast’s image. Without it, commerce is impossible.

The ultimate outcome is also clear: the Antichrist’s rule ends with Christ’s return.

And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him (Jesus Christ) who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image.” Revelation 19:19-20

There are many prophetic Scriptures about what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth. It is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Jesus will rule the nations of this world with the glorified Saints for 1000 years. The nation God established for His purposes will finally fulfil its destiny with their Messiah, Jesus ruling and reigning the nations with a rod of iron. It is a transition period before the second resurrection, followed by the White Throne judgement (Revelation 20:13-15) and then a new Heaven and a new Earth (Revelation 21) where only the righteous dwell.

THE CHURCH HAS LOST ITS FEAR OF GOD

The real issue before us today is not differences in style or methods, but whether the Church still fears God enough to proclaim his truth without compromise.

Church Has Lost Fear of God

In Orange, NSW, Australia, the Easter “Family” Festival organisers used banners promoting the event with the word “Easter” barely visible. On Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, the festival that should have been a clear, unapologetic proclamation of the crucified and risen Christ, the redeemer of sinful humanity, was diluted, softened, reshaped – and made “safe.”

On Resurrection Sunday, the very foundation of our faith, the event without which there is no Christianity, the highlight at one local church was a helicopter dropping 7,000 Easter eggs on the church lawn for the excited crowd.

The concern isn’t about the eggs – it’s about what is central. What will the children remember? Christ crucified and risen? Or the excitement of getting lots of chocolate Easter eggs? 

Charles Spurgeon was right: “The Church exists for the glory of God, not for the entertainment of men.”

When did the Church forget that? Surely, we knew it once. Easter is not ambiguous. It is not cultural. It is not a generic “family-friendly” moment designed to entertain. It is the central declaration of the Christian faith: Christ died for sin and every person is commanded to repent.  

He was pierced for our transgressions…” — Isaiah 53:5
“God commands all people everywhere to repent.
” — Acts 17:30 

Losing the Fear of God to the Fear of Man

Somewhere along the way, the Church has lost the weight of what it has been entrusted with. The day that proclaims Christ crucified and risen – the day that declares victory over sin and death – has been reshaped to make it acceptable to a world that does not know him.

The gospel is offensive. Yes. But it is the gospel that Jesus himself preached.

It confronts sin. It calls for repentance. It declares that man is not good, and that salvation is found in Christ alone. Yet, instead of standing on that truth with holy conviction, many have chosen to present it in a way that avoids offence and maximises appeal.

But the call of God has never been to make the message acceptable – or to entertain the crowds. The Apostle Paul said“I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). And again, “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort” (2 Timothy 4:2). 

Consider Daniel. In captivity, and under pressure to conform, he “resolved that he would not defile himself” (Daniel 1:8).

He would not bow to the culture. He would not dilute his obedience. He would not trade faithfulness for acceptance.

Not even in something as seemingly small as food.

When commanded not to pray, he opened his windows and prayed to God as he always had – even at risk of his life (Daniel 6:10). Yet he rose to positions of authority in two empires: without once compromising his faith.

God honours those who honour him (1 Samuel 2:30).

But today, many in the Church bend where Daniel stood firm. 

They soften, they accommodate, they adjust. Not under threat of death. Not under persecution, but under the pressure of culture, attendance, and public acceptance.

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching…” (2 Timothy 4:3).

That time is here.

Church Compromise over Biblical Conviction

The decline of the Western world is not accidental; it is the fruit of a Church that has too often chosen silence and compromise where God’s word demands truth and boldness.

The Great Commission was not about drawing crowds and entertaining them. It was a command: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20). That command has not changed. The Church must come back to holiness. Come back to the Word of God. Come back to the fear of the Lord. Come back to the bold, unashamed proclamation of Jesus Christ – crucified for our sin, and raised to life by the power of God. The tragedy is not that the world rejects the truth; it always has. The tragedy is that the Church, more often than not, no longer has the courage to proclaim it as written. It is a fearful thing to handle the Word of God lightly: he will not overlook the dilution of his truth.

Those entrusted to preach his word will give an account. Not for how well they were received, but for how faithfully they proclaimed. It is the truth – not the compromise – not the spectacle – that sets men free.

Lord, search us, correct us, and bring us back to holiness.

AI, PROSPERITY AND JOBS

Prosperity in the USA is, remarkably, broadening. American Enterprise Institute (AEI) finds 31% of Americans are now upper middle class, up from 10% in 1979, and its share of income doubled. Also tech job openings have doubled since mid-2023 to a three-year high, quietly refuting the obituaries for software engineering. AEI finds that the “core” middle class has shrunk, but only because more families have become upper-middle class over time. AEI finds that the “core” middle class has shrunk—but so too has the share of Americans with income too low to reach the middle class. The shrinking core middle class is due to a booming upper-middle class. Only the relatively worse-off parts of the middle class have shrunk—and by less than the upper-middle class has grown.

The US jobs report on Friday was surprisingly strong. That’s not the only part of the job market that’s doing better than expected.

My recent post Generative AI is About to Cause Humanity to Fork is one of my most looked at posts. It is about an article by Peter Diamandis of YouTube Metatrends and Moonshots fame. Let me quote the opening paras of his article “Humanity is About to Fork”.

The choices you make in the next five years will determine which branch of the human story you inhabit. Here’s what’s coming, and how to position yourself on the right side of every fork. Peter addresses five major splits that will cleave humanity into groups with dramatically different futures, capabilities, and lifespans: Fork 1. Creators versus Consumers, 2. Fork 2. Longevity Escape Velocity, Fork 3. Brain Computer Interface, Fork 4. Earth versus The Stars, Fork 5. Digital Consciousness (i.e. uploads). Peter then explores the bigger picture and how he intends to face each of these forks. It is a fascinating article. If you have not seen it I suggest you take a look.

Satan has done a devastating job of changing the world’s understanding of the true history of the Cosmos. He has used people like Charles Darwin to convince the world that it did not need a Creator. A Big Bang and Natural Selection is all you need.

When you look at the complex laws that govern the universe and just the complexity of the human body it is difficult to comprehend how scientists cling to the theory of evolution. Fortunately, many scientists like Dr Dean Kenyon, former Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University and in 1969 was co-author of the book Biochemical Predestination which was adopted in the USA as a graduate textbook and was regarded as the seminal work on the naturalistic formation of living cells from chemicals of the earth. By the 1980’s Kenyon came to the conclusion that intelligent design was needed for life’s beginning. He said the discovery of DNA and the electron microscope rang the death knell of evolution. Why? Because DNA is complex information which cannot be made from matter or energy. Its only source in intelligence of the highest order. Also, the electron microscope revealed that inside every cell there are complex machines to make the chemicals the body needs and transport devices to move them around and they are all controlled by the information on the DNA . There is no way this can evolve by random chance. It is nonsense. Go to http://www.creation.com and http://www.answersingenesis.org for more information on creation versus evolution.

Check out this short video by Dr Dean Kenyon on intelligentdesign.

GENERATIVE AI IS ABOUT TO CAUSE HUMANITY TO FORK

The following article “Humanity is About to Fork” is by Peter Diamandis. Named by Fortune as one of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders, Peter H. Diamandis, MD is a pioneer in innovation, longevity, and exponential technologies.

He is the Founder and Executive Chairman of XPRIZE Foundation, which has launched over $600 million in competitions driving more than $10 billion in research and development across space, health, robotics, climate, quantum and AI. Peter also co-founded Singularity University, Link-Exponential Ventures, BOLD Capital Partners, and multiple companies focused on extending human health span and accelerating technological progress.

His YouTube Moonshots and Metatrends have huge followings. Let us look at his recent Metatrends article, realising that up front he reveals he is an evolutionist who believes this world is billions of years old. Hence, he does not believe in the Christian God who created the Cosmos just 6,000 years ago, as I do. God has given Peter a brilliant mind and his article makes perfect sense based on his worldview. Tragedy is that he does not know the God who gave him his mind and talents. The God that made Peter in His image and who loves him.

Humanity is About to Fork

The choices you make in the next five years will determine which branch of the human story you inhabit. Here’s what’s coming, and how to position yourself on the right side of every fork. The last time humanity had a major “fork” (speciation) was roughly 500,000 to 800,000 years ago when the human lineage diverged between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. That was a slow process driven by geographic isolation, climate swings, dietary shifts, and sexual selection. This time, over the next few decades, speciation is going to be driven by exponential tech and human selection. Humanity has always had mini-forks. The printing press created a fork between the literate and the illiterate. The Industrial Revolution created a fork between those who owned machines and those who worked them. The internet created a fork between those who understood networked information and those who didn’t. But these are minor compared to what is coming. We’re about to face five major splits that will cleave humanity into groups with dramatically different futures, capabilities, and lifespans. Let’s dive in…

FORK 1: Creators vs. Consumers

The first and most immediate fork is already happening right now, today, as you read this.

AI has handed every human being on the planet an extraordinary set of tools: the ability to build software, design products, generate content, start companies, and pursue ambitions that previously required teams of specialists and millions in capital. Some people will pick those tools up and build. They’ll become creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators. They’ll use AI to amplify their vision and bring it into the world. They will be the architects of the next economy. Others will watch. They’ll consume: watch Netflix, play video games, scroll social media… be passively entertained. The tools will be available to them. They simply won’t pick them up. I’m not making a moral judgment here. I’m making an economic and existential one. In an AI-native world, the gap between a creator and a consumer is not the gap between rich and poor. It’s the gap between someone with exponential leverage over reality and someone without it.

The question is not whether AI will transform everything. It will. The question is whether you’re the one doing the transforming… or the one being transformed.

This is the most urgent fork because it’s already open. The divergence started the day large language models became publicly available, and it’s widening every month. The longer you wait to get on the creator side of this fork, the further behind you’ll fall.

FORK 2: Longevity Escape Velocity

Ray Kurzweil has been right about his predictions at a rate of roughly 84% (you can check out the analysis on Wikipedia). Perhaps his most audacious prediction states that humanity will reach Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) by 2033. LEV is the point at which, for every year you’re alive, advances in medicine extend your life expectancy by more than a year. Once you cross that threshold, aging becomes a solvable engineering problem rather than an inevitable biological sentence. When this arrives, humanity will split into two groups.

One group will embrace the therapies: epigenetic cellular reprogramming, senolytics, gene editing, organ replacement. They’ll view it as a natural continuation of what humans have always done: use science to extend healthy life. After all, the fact that any of us live past 50 is already an extraordinary feat of modern medicine. Our great-great-grandparents had average lifespans in the 40s. The other group will reject it. They’ll argue that the human lifespan has natural limits that shouldn’t be violated – that there’s something sacred about mortality, about the cycle of generations.

I respect that view. But I want to be clear about what it means in practice. If you have access to life extension therapies and decline them, you’re making a deliberate choice to age and die on an old biological timeline. That’s a valid choice. But it is a choice, and it will determine whether you’re present for the most extraordinary chapters of human history, or whether you watch them from the sidelines of your lifespan.

I intend to be in the room for what comes next. After all, this IS the most exciting time EVER to be alive! (It is Peter, but not for the reasons you expound. God’s Word reveals that the time for Jesus return to Earth to restore righteousness and take control of the world from the angelic being, Satan, is soon. Satan has been ruling this world for almost 6000 years since he deceived Adam and Eve and they rebelled against God. What is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. To prepare for it, go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

FORK 3: Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)

By the mid-2030s, Kurzweil expects we’ll have high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces: direct connections between the human neocortex and the cloud.

Think about what that means practically. Perfect memory. Instant access to any information ever recorded. The ability to understand quantum physics not by years of study but by direct neural integration. Expanded cognitive bandwidth that makes our current intellectual ceiling look quaint. Some people will eagerly adopt this. They’ll argue, correctly, that we’ve always been cyborgs: glasses extend our vision, smartphones extend our memory, language itself is a technology that extends our ability to coordinate with other minds. A neural interface is just the next step on a continuum. Others will say this is where they draw the line. That there’s something about “unaugmented” biological cognition that defines what it means to be human, and that crossing this threshold means becoming something else.

We’ve always adopted technology at first with shock, then with use, then with dependence, then with complete forgetting that it was ever shocking. The neural interface will follow the same arc.

I think the people who opt out of brain-computer interfaces will, over time, find themselves in a similar position to someone who declined the printing press in 1500. Not wrong, exactly… but increasingly operating in a world that functions on entirely different terms than the one they’re equipped for.

FORK 4: Earth vs. The Stars

This next fork is one I’ve dreamed about since my childhood.

Starship is opening up not just the Moon and Mars, it’s opening up the entire solar system. Within our lifetimes, a significant portion of humanity will begin to move beyond Earth into the Earth-Moon-Mars-Asteroid system. In one sense this will represent the means by which humanity incrementally creates a backup, or a “budding”, of the Earth ecosystem. Some people will go. They’ll be driven by the same impulse that sent humans across oceans, over mountain ranges, into uncharted territories. The need to explore, to be present at the frontier, to build something from nothing in a new environment. Others will stay. And there’s nothing wrong with that: Earth will remain the most beautiful and resource-rich world we know for quite some time.

But the humans who go to space (especially those who go early) will develop in directions that those who stay on Earth will not. Different environments, different challenges, different social structures, different relationships with survival and community. Over generations, these branches of humanity will become increasingly distinct.

FORK 5: Digital Consciousness (i.e., Uploads)

The last fork is perhaps the one that sounds most like science fiction, and is therefore the one people are least prepared to think about seriously. Within the coming decades, it may be possible to upload the full contents of a human mind (100 billion neurons, 100 trillion synaptic connections) into a digital substrate. What many people are calling digital immortality.

I want to be careful here. This is not something I’m predicting will happen on a specific timeline. Though we have done this with the brain of a fruit fly, and efforts are underway to do with a mouse. The philosophy here is genuinely hard: is a digital copy of you actually you? These are real questions worth serious engagement. But here’s what I am confident about: some humans will choose this path. And the humans who do will exist in a radically different relationship with time, mortality, and experience than those who don’t.

A biological human with a 120-year lifespan and a digital human with no inherent lifespan limit are not just quantitatively different. They’re qualitatively different kinds of entities. This fork does more than change how long you live, it changes what kind of being you are.

ZOOM OUT AND SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE

This Is What Civilizational Change Actually Looks Like

Here’s what I want you to understand about all five of these forks: they don’t require the world to end. They don’t require a catastrophe. They don’t require government permission or institutional approval. They are simply the inevitable consequence of exponential technologies arriving at their logical destinations. To be clear, choosing not to engage with these technologies is not the absence of a choice. It is a choice. And like every fork, it closes off other destinations.

The fork isn’t between the future and the past. It’s between which future you want to inhabit.

WHERE I STAND…

My Choices at the Forks

I’ll be transparent about where I’m placing my bets.

I’m choosing the creator side of Fork 1: using every AI tool available to build, write, teach, and contribute. I’ve never worked harder in my life than I am right now, and I’ve never had more fun doing it. I’m pursuing every longevity intervention I can access at Fork 2. Not because I’m afraid of death, but because I want to be present for what comes next. I want to “speed run Star Trek,” explore all the wonderous futures we will uncover.

I’m watching Fork 3 closely and intend to be an early adopter of brain-computer interfaces when they’re proven safe and effective. I have no interest in putting an arbitrary ceiling on my cognitive capacity.

Regarding Fork 4, I’ve been a space-cadet since I witnessed Apollo 11 at age 8. I’ve built space companies, helped launch the commercial space revolution, and dreamed of this future for 50+ years. As soon as I get a chance to put my boots on the Moon or help build an O’Neill Colony, I’m all-in!

Finally, on Fork 5, I’m staying genuinely open. I’m not sure yet how I’ll feel about leaving my physical existence behind. I still have a lot to learn about upload technology and the implications that follow. I’ve learned to reserve judgment on the things I can’t yet fully see.

But above all, I’m choosing to engage. To stay curious. To keep the mindset of someone for whom the future is not a threat to be defended against, but a territory to be explored.

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth and the environment changed rapidly, dramatically. As a result, the slow, lumbering dinosaurs could not adapt and went extinct. It was the small, furry mammals (our ancestors) who survived, because of their agility and adaptability, that allowed them to take advantage of a transformed world. (Sorry, Peter but what you believe is pure speculation. To put a time of sixty-six million on the time an asteroid hit the earth and destroyed the dinosaurs is nonsense and hence deception. God created the Cosmos just 6,000 years ago and destroyed not only the dinosaurs but all of mankind except for eight individuals and the animals on Noah’s ark about 4,400 years ago. I would like to introduce you to PhD scientists, Dr Stephen Myer, Dr Robert Carter and Dr John Sanford, who are just three of hundreds, able to explain why the Biblical timeline for history fits the scientific facts. Go to http://www.creation.com and http://www.answersingenesis.org).

The asteroid we call Exponential Technologies has already hit. And now the question is which kind of creature you’re going to be. What choices will you make?

Welcome to the most exciting time ever to be alive!

WHEN WILL JESUS RETURN PART 2?

Someone has been hiding the date of Jesus’s Return from you? This Nelson Walters video reveals a specific three-year window for the “second coming of christ”, claiming it’s been intentionally hidden in plain sight within the “bible prophecy” community. We explore how this crucial information, often overlooked in “hidden scriptures”, points to significant “end times” events. This analysis provides crucial insights into “eschatology” and what it could signify for the future as “Jesus is coming” according to biblical texts. If you have not discarded billions of years of Earth’s history and accepted Noah’s worldwide flood as laying down the fossil record including fossil fuels then you will not accept these Scriptures. You need to go to http://www.creation.com and http://www.answersingenesis.org for the evidence.

There is a date in your Bible. A three-year window for the second coming. Not buried, not cryptic, not waiting to be decoded by some obscure scholar. And not a day or an hour either. It’s right there in plain sight in a passage most Christians have read past a dozen times. And it has been systematically hidden by criminals because anyone that would hide such important data from the general public is a criminal. Peter saw all this coming 2,000 years ago. He named these suspects. He identified their exact motive. He left a warning so clear, but we’re ignoring it. And Peter’s word here is that they did it wilfully. This wasn’t an accident. Last week, we found that date. And today, we’re going to uncover why you were never supposed to know it. So, let’s look at what we uncovered last week and then we’re going to unmask those criminals because some of them may even preach in your pulpits.

The Apostle Peter left a conversion equation in 2 Peter 3:8 that one day with the Lord equals a thousand years. And if we apply that to the days of creation plus the Sabbath, you get a 7,000 year blueprint for human history. God has allowed Satan to rule for 6,000 years (6 days) and the seventh day is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. And we’re at the end of day six, 6,000 year clock. It’s almost up. But then we went deeper. Hosea 5:15, God himself is speaking and he says, “I will return to my place,” which he meant heaven until they acknowledge their offense and seek my face. Hence Jesus returning to heaven is the ascension. Jesus departing approximately 30 to 33 AD. Then Hosea 6:2 really gives us the timeline. Israel prays after two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up. And if we apply Peter’s conversion formula that a day equals 1,000 years, well then two days equals 2,000 years. And since Jesus was crucified and then ascended either in 30 AD or 33 AD, somewhere in that window of time, we have a three-year window by adding 2,000 years to when he returned to his place. Right? So we have 30 AD plus 2000 will be 2030 and 33 AD plus 2,000 years is 2033. So Jesus return is somewhere between 2030 and 2033.

WHEN WILL JESUS RETURN?

The Apostle Peter left a math equation pointing to the Return of Jesus? And it adds up to a 3-Year Window? And it’s SOON?
This Nelson Walters video explores a fascinating theory about a mathematical equation from the Apostle Peter, which, when applied to Old Testament prophecies, could pinpoint a narrow timeframe for the “second coming of christ.” We examine how this theory connects to broader “bible prophecy” and the “new testament” teachings. This discussion provides crucial insights into understanding “Jesus Christ” and the “end times prophecy” through a unique numerical lens, offering a fresh perspective on biblical “scripture.” Make sure you look at the next video When Will Jesus Return Part 2?

GOOD FRIDAY MASS BAPTISMS IN PERTH AND MELBOURNE MAKE HISTORY

Over 1,500 Australians were baptised across Perth and Melbourne this Good Friday, marking a historic moment of spiritual renewal in two unrelated but record-breaking mass baptism events.

Over 1,500 Australians broke with their past in two mass baptisms on Good Friday. The two gatherings in Perth and Melbourne were unrelated and yet managed to make history. In Melbourne, Global Harvest registered 750 genuine baptisms.

Swan River Makes History: 1,000 Baptised at Kingdom City’s Easter Event

In Perth, Kingdom City Church (KC) recorded 1,000 redirecting their lives through participation in the life, death and resurrection of Christ. Quoting founding Pastor Mark Varughese, KC wrote in a Facebook post that, “the scale of the baptism reflects a growing openness to faith and spirituality.”

“Baptism, in the evangelical Christian tradition, is a public declaration of an inward decision,” he explained. “It symbolises leaving behind the past and stepping into a new life—something that resonates with the universal human desire for renewal, hope, and purpose.”

On X, KC described the Swan River Easter event as “Australia’s largest mass baptism”, quipping, “we just wrapped up history.”

The post, which included a thread featuring testimonies, called the afternoon “unforgettable,” and noted that thousands were there in support.

For instance, new Christian, Abby, explained that she and a friend had been in Australia for 6 months, “and didn’t know God at all.” Abby got saved and explained that God had freed her from past trauma. Because of this new encounter with God, she wanted to participate. A flight back to the United Kingdom clashed with the idea, almost stopping Abby from following through. God stepped in, cancelled the flight, and she got baptised.

750 Take the Plunge at Frankston Beach in Global Harvest’s Biggest Turnout Yet

Not that numbers ultimately matter; Melbourne’s Frankston Beach mass baptism drew lower numbers. Despite this, the non-denominational event still broke records. 750 of the more than 1,000 expressions of interest publicly laid down their lives to take up their cross and follow Christ. Discipleship Co-Ordinator for Global Harvest, Vanessa Jarvis, confirmed with The Daily Declaration that Frankston’s Good Friday turnout was the biggest in the ministry’s six-year history.

The grassroots national movement squarely focuses on making the transformative power of the cross known. They bring what the Barna Group has identified as the curious into contact with Jesus Christ. This, Jarvis said, was part of Harvest’s goal of furthering the advance, reach and receptivity of the Gospel as directed by the Great Commission. Harvest’s pathway programs include resources, discipleship camps and apologetics content. Such as Discovery Bible Studies, which “can be used with different study plans and incorporated into different group structures.” Uniquely positioned, Harvest services the entirety of the community of Christ, not a single denomination. As such, the ministry actively engages a vetted network of 400 Christian volunteers who help with events and relationship-building, Jarvis added.

More Than a Moment: How Global Harvest Connects Curiosity to Conversion

While follow-up remains one of Harvest’s responsibilities, volunteers drive the discipleship mechanism in collaboration with local churches. Volunteers are also checked by referral. Any willing candidate needs to be cleared by a Pastor, elder, or person in authority within their local church community. There is also a two-step contact process between Harvest and potential candidates, Jarvis explained. This sorts the serious from the surreptitious and works towards making sure the sanctity of Baptism – as a sacrament – is maintained. To further ensure mass baptisms do not cheapen baptism, Harvest utilises David Pawson’s instructional teaching on Normal Christian Birth. Here Harvest emphasises the relationship between repentance, regeneration and being baptised. While there isn’t a 12-week course, with loops, hoops and hurdles, preparing for baptism, the baptised are prepared in what it means to heed the call. As for accountability, follow-up is key, Jarvis told The Daily Declaration.

Harvest encourages the unity of the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4) and recommends that those being discipled find a local church. For Harvest, Jarvis declared, “Christ is all!” (Colossians 3:11) The discipleship ministry does not endorse any specific brand, only that the church hold to the Biblical profession of faith in Christ. For those who were baptised at the mass immersion events on Good Friday, this was about coming as you are and not staying that way.

Riley, an atheist who was at Frankston, said he “recently started reading the Bible, and decided to buy a cross to express faith in Jesus.” He then came across a Christian contact he’d made six months prior. He invited him to come down, and they both got baptised.

Harvest and Kingdom City’s platforms are not using mass baptisms as marketing gimmicks. The events, timed as they are this year with Easter, are about solidarity with the cross, repentance and being raised to new life. This is especially so for Global Harvest. While not conventional, they connect conviction with discipleship, curiosity with conversion and new Christians with the Body of Christ.
