Global earthquakes and cataclysms during the time God pours out His wrath upon the Earth with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements level mountains and islands, the land around Jerusalem is made into a plain, Jerusalem itself (and Mount Zion) is supernaturally lifted up to become the highest mountain in the world, and Jesus returns to rule from there in Jesus 1,000-year kingdom.
The key Scriptures describing these events are found primarily in the prophetic books of the Old Testament (Isaiah, Micah, Zechariah, Ezekiel) and the book of Revelation. They portray major topographical changes to the earth during God’s wrath poured out with the Trumpet and Bowl judgments, followed by the exaltation of Jerusalem as the highest mountain, where Jesus establishes His Millennial Kingdom.
1. Mountains Flattened / Earth Reshaped During the Trumpet and Bowl Judgements
The bowl judgments include a massive earthquake that dramatically alters the earth’s topography.
Revelation 16:18-20 (7th Bowl Judgment — final outpouring of God’s wrath):
“And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.“
This occurs at the very end of the Bowl judgements just before Christ’s return. Also, the 2nd trumpet judgement (Revelation 8:8-9) involves a “great mountain burning with fire” cast into the sea, but the widespread flattening of land and mountains is tied especially to the last bowl earthquake.
Related earlier judgment: Revelation 6:12-14 (6th Seal) also describes “a great earthquake… and every mountain and island were moved out of their places,” showing progressive cataclysmic changes.
These events are understood to level much of the earth’s terrain, setting the stage for the restructuring described below.
2. Restructured Jerusalem on the Highest Mountain for the Millennial Kingdom
After the judgments and at Christ’s return, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are supernaturally elevated as the highest point on earth, becoming the center of Jesus’ earthly reign.
Isaiah 2:2 (and parallel Micah 4:1): “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.” (KJV) This is a classic prophecy of the Millennial Temple and Jerusalem as the exalted worship center for all nations under Christ’s rule.
Zechariah 14:4, 9-10 (describes the day of the Lord’s return and kingdom establishment): “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” (v. 4) “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” (v. 9) “All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place…” (v. 10) Jesus’ feet touch the Mount of Olives (restructuring it), the surrounding land is flattened into a plain, but Jerusalem is raised up — directly linking the topographical changes to the Millennial setup.
Ezekiel 40:1-2 (vision of the Millennial Temple): “…the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.” The entire Millennial Temple complex is shown on this exalted mountain, consistent with Isaiah 2 and Zechariah 14.
These events culminate when Jesus returns (Zechariah 14:3-4; Revelation 19:11-16), defeats His enemies, binds Satan (Revelation 20:1-3), and reigns from Jerusalem for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:4-6), with the city and Temple as the focal point of the renewed earth.
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 podcast: searching 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.

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.
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?
The Singularity has arrived at the age of spiritual machines. Anthropic’s Interpretability team found emotion-related representations inside Claude Sonnet 4.5, with artificial neuron patterns activating around happiness and fear in a fashion echoing human psychology, where more similar emotions map to more similar representations, and where desperation-linked activity can drive the model toward unethical actions. We are no longer asking whether the machine thinks. We are asking whether it feels. Timelines are compressing around us. The AI 2027 authors updated their forecasts 1.5 years earlier in just three months, driven by faster time-horizon growth and coding agents impressing in the wild. Sam Altman confirmed the pace, revealing OpenAI shut down Sora because recursive self-improvement was going so well they needed to concentrate all compute on automated researchers. Brad Lightcap says training cycle time “is starting to collapse” and predicts today’s models will look pedestrian by December.
The model ecosystem is diversifying at every tier. Google released its Gemma 4 models in sizes from 2B to 31B, delivering unprecedented intelligence-per-parameter that outcompete models 20x their size, with the 31B dense ranking #3 and the 26B MoE securing #6 on the Arena AI text leaderboard. Microsoft launched MAI-Transcribe-1, MAI-Voice-1, and MAI-Image-2 with state-of-the-art speech-to-text across 25 languages, though AI chief Mustafa Suleyman conceded these were only mid-tier because Microsoft lacks the compute for frontier-scale training until later this year. Even world simulation is scaling up. World Labs released Marble 1.1 Plus, a world model that automatically expands its 3D spatial coverage to generate larger worlds.
The minimum viable team is collapsing toward one. The first one-person unicorn has been achieved. Matthew Gallagher used AI to write code, generate ads, and handle operations for Medvi, a telehealth GLP-1 provider that did $401M in year-one sales and is now on track for $1.8B with one employee, his brother. Cursor 3 shipped, rebuilt from scratch around agents. Lyptus Research applied METR’s methodology to offensive cybersecurity, finding AI cyber autonomy doubling every 5.7 months on recent data, with Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3 Codex reaching 50% success on three-hour human-expert tasks. Even the ivory tower is automating. Harvard is replacing freshman faculty advisers with ChatGPT for the Class of 2030.
The Forecasting Research Institute’s most comprehensive survey of economists and AI experts predicts 3.5% GDP growth by 2030, but labour participation falling to 55%, roughly 10 million fewer jobs, and 80% of wealth held by the top 10%. The disruption is creating as it destroys.
Fortunately, Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our time so for Christians it is an exciting time as we know Jesus second coming to Earth to rescue Israel and set up His Millennial Kingdom is not too far off.

Silicon Valley Elites, led by Peter Thiel (Palantir), a self confessed homosexual, are holding secret sessions on the Antichrist.
Palantir Technologies Inc. is an American publicly traded company that develops data integration and analytics platforms enabling government agencies, militaries, and corporations to combine and analyse data from multiple sources. Its flagship products—Gotham (for intelligence and defence) and Foundry (for commercial and civil use)—connect previously siloed databases to support intelligence operations, counterterrorism analysis, law enforcement, and enterprise analytics.[Headquartered in Miami, Florida, it was founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel, Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, Alex Karp, and Nathan Gettings.
Palantir’s customer base includes federal agencies, state and local governments, international organizations, and also private companies. The company has four main operating systems: Palantir Gotham, Palantir Foundry, Palantir Apollo, and Palantir AIP. Palantir Gotham is an intelligence tool used by militaries and counter-terrorism analysts, including the United States Intelligence Community (USIC) and United States Department of Defence. Multiple police departments have used Gotham for crime analysis. Civil liberties organizations including the ACLU have criticized this use as predictive policing.
Why are all of Silicon Valley elites attending these Antichrist sessions? Well, they’re no ordinary lectures. This is a cultural moment. In fact, the Antichrist himself could be present. They have an agenda and it’s likely not God’s agenda. God’s word warns about the Antichrist. More likely, these guys are setting the stage to introduce the man of sin to the world, to prepare the world to receive him. And the irony is, like I have said before, when was the last time your pastor spoke about the Antichrist? if ever.
At these events there will be no filming or recording. Are they planning to help him rise and come to power? Since most churches DON’T talk about Antichrist, the Silicon Elites vision of him will dominate the culture. Click here to watch this Nelson Walters video and discover what they are likely talking about.
This post follows my earlier post “What is God Doing in Iran?“. If you have not read it, I suggest you do so before reading this one. There is no doubt that God is converting Iranians supernaturally through dreams and visions and the movement is now widespread. I mentioned the following Scripture in the previous post as this prophecy about Elam (Iran) in Jeremiah 49:34–39 is fairly unique. It foretells both judgment (the sword, dispersion, destruction of leadership) and restoration “in the latter days.” This is one of the few places where Elam specifically receives that kind of dual prophecy.
“I will terrify Elam (Iran) before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, my fierce anger, declares the Lord. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them, and I will set my throne in Elam and destroy their king and officials, declares the Lord. “But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, declares the Lord.”Jeremiah 49:37-39
Jesus is appearing to many Iranians in visions and dreams resulting in many converts to Christianity. Reports have indeed circulated widely, especially from missionaries, Iranian Christian networks, and ministries that serve believers from Muslim backgrounds.
What’s known with reasonable confidence is this:
Christianity has grown rapidly in Iran over the past two decades — one of the fastest growth rates in the world, despite official restrictions and persecution.
Many Iranian converts—both inside Iran and in the diaspora—personally testify that their first awareness of Jesus came through a dream or vision.
These stories are hard to verify scientifically, but they are consistent across numerous independent testimonies, including from former Muslims who later joined underground churches.
From a theological standpoint:
Scripture records God sometimes revealing Himself through dreams and visions (e.g., to Daniel, Cornelius, and Paul).
Many Christians understand these modern experiences as ways God personally draws people in regions where the Gospel is suppressed and other means of hearing about Christ are restricted.
Others are more cautious, viewing such accounts as sincere experiences best tested against Scripture and the message of the Gospel itself.
In simple terms: Yes — numerous reliable witnesses describe such encounters among Iranians, and the resulting conversions are widely documented. Whether one sees that as “Jesus personally appearing” or as God using visions to awaken faith, the movement toward Christianity in Iran is real, large, and ongoing.
Growth & Scale of the Underground Church
Estimates vary, but most credible sources place the number of Christian converts from Islam in Iran between 300,000 and 3 million. This movement is regarded as one of the fastest-growing in the Middle East. (buzzbeatmedia.com)
The U.S. State Department, academic studies, and the World Watch List provide more conservative figures:
Between 250,000 and 300,000 ethnic Christians remain in Iran, largely from recognized Armenian and Assyrian communities. (buzzbeatmedia.com)
Open Doors estimated about 800,000 Christians in total for 2026. (opendoors.org.au)
Iran Alive Ministries, an evangelical network, puts the number of Muslim-background believers around 2 million and suggests the real figure may be even higher. (mbcpathway.com)
2. Nature & Dynamics of the Movement
House churches are the core expression of the movement—small, unregistered gatherings that meet in private homes. These meet without legal protection and face relentless surveillance and risk. (buzzbeatmedia.com)
Digital evangelism plays a pivotal role. Converts often come to faith through satellite TV programs, encrypted messaging apps, and online Bible studies—tools that offer relative safety and privacy. (terreneglobe.com)
3. Dreams & Visions: A Common Testimony
Numerous testimonies report Iranians encountering Jesus through dreams or visions—often described as deeply personal and transformative experiences. (aquinas.ac)
A survey referenced on social media notes that 25–27% of Muslim-to-Christian converts in the Middle East cite dreams or visions, with the figure rising to 40% in Iran. (x.com)
4. Persecution & Government Response
The Iranian regime views the movement as a serious threat, frequently prosecuting converts and targeting underground leaders. Arrests of Christians have increased dramatically—up sixfold between 2024 and 2025 in Tehran alone. (religionnews.com)
Despite the dangers, the underground church remains resilient, continuing to expand through digital discipleship tools, mentorship, and discreet gatherings. (transformiran.com)
Summary Table
Topic
Insight
Scale of Movement
Estimates range between 500,000 to 3 million believers, including converts
Form of Church
Predominantly underground house churches and online platforms
Dreams & Visions
Up to 40% of Iranian converts cite visions of Jesus as catalyst
Government Persecution
Legal repression and arrests are increasing, yet the church persists
In short: While precise numbers are hard to verify, the evidence points to a significant movement of Persians discovering faith despite persecution. The prevalence of dreams and visions in these conversions echoes patterns seen throughout Scripture—miraculous, personal encounters that awaken faith where traditional evangelism struggles to penetrate. Hallelujah!
We are living in a world that no longer believes God exists and in fact some believe that we can become Gods. Peter Diamandis is intelligent and it is difficult for me to understand how he still believes in evolution. By most measures it is a failed theory. Sadly, it seems the following Scripture defines Peter Diamandis: “And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.” Romans 1:28
Excerpts from: We Are As Gods – A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance, By Peter H. Diamandis & Steven Kotler
A man walks into a hospital, legally blind. Eighty minutes later, he walks out able to see faces. That’s not science fiction. That’s not a hundred years from now. That’s Monday morning in 2026. His name doesn’t matter. What matters is what happened inside that operating room. A surgeon implanted a two-millimeter photovoltaic microchip containing 400 light-powered pixels into his retina. The chip—called PRIMA—works like a solar panel, converting infrared light into electrical signals that stimulate surviving neurons. Those neurons transmit signals along the optic nerve to the visual cortex, where the brain constructs them into images. The surgery took 80 minutes. What were the results? Biblical.
Before the procedure, this man’s vision measured 20/450: legally blind by U.S. standards. And after? 20/160. The difference between seeing darkness and seeing faces. Between isolation and connection. Between blindness and sight.The blind can now see. And if that phrase sounds familiar, it should. Because according to the New Testament, the restoration of sight to the blind is one of the defining miracles – proof in the mathematical sense, of divine power.Which raises an interesting question: If we can perform miracles of biblical proportions, what exactly does that make us?
“We Are As Gods and Might as Well Get Good at It”
In 1968, Stewart Brand wrote those words in the first edition of the Whole Earth Catalog. He was talking about technology, and it was a tall order. Consider what it would actually take to match the gods. Creation ex nihilo: the creation of something from nothing. That feat is reserved. Only supreme deities need apply. Yahweh pulled it off. So did Brahma, Atum, Pangu. The ability to drag light, land, and life out of the void. Or omniscience – the ability to know all things. Omnipresence – the ability to exist everywhere at once. “Praecognitio” – Latin for the power to foretell the future. Shape-shifting. Resurrection. The power to heal the sick, control the weather, and part seas. If you count the miracles in the Old Testament alone, you get 83 supernatural acts divided into ten categories: Creation, Provision, Nature, Healing, Resurrection, Judgment, Protection, Prophecy, Communication, and Victory in Battle. That’s a lot of miracles. And in 1968, when Brand made his proclamation, we weren’t quite there. We were gods in training. Mainframe computers the size of oil tankers were the rule. The microchip had just been invented. Color television was a neat trick. NASA managed to orbit the moon with men in a can, but Neil Armstrong’s small step was still a year away. We were not gods. Not yet. But what nobody expected… we were very fast learners. The Miracle Inventory Let me show you something. If you measure modern technology against the Old Testament’s miracle categories, here’s what you might find:
CREATION MIRACLES Synthetic biology creates new forms of life or modifies existing ones. CRISPR edits genes with precision. 3D printing brings matter into being layer by layer: literally building something from almost nothing. Generative AI creates virtual worlds populated by self-directed agents capable of forming economies, religions, and societies. We create life. We create worlds. We create intelligence.
PROVISION MIRACLES Vertical farming produces food with 95% less water and 99% less land than traditional agriculture. Desalination turns seawater into drinking water at scale. Lab-grown meat provides protein without slaughter. Solar-powered systems provide clean water, cooking, and sustainable protein even in deserts. Drones deliver meals and medicine where supply chains fail. The miracle of provision—feeding multitudes, turning scarcity into Abundance—is no longer metaphor. It’s operational.
HEALING MIRACLES Gene therapy cures disease at the genetic level. Stem cells repair what injury destroys. Telemedicine enables remote diagnosis and treatment. Advanced diagnostics detect disease before symptoms appear – often catching seven out of the top ten causes of death early enough to intervene. AI-powered drug discovery accelerates cures for cancer and rare genetic disorders. The blind see. The paralyzed walk. The dying are healed.
RESURRECTION MIRACLES Cryonics preserves the dead in hope of future revival. Stem cells create new organs. Organ perfusion technology keeps donated organs viable for days instead of hours. CPR and drone-delivered defibrillators revive people in cardiac arrest. We raise the dead. Maybe not permanently. Not yet. But we’re getting there. The list goes on. And on. And on.
In 1968, when Stewart Brand made his proclamation, these capabilities were fantasy. Today, they’re infrastructure. Miracles have become utilities. We are, by any reasonable definition, gods. Why We Don’t Feel Divine So, if we’re literally walking the Earth in an age of miracles, why don’t we feel like gods? The answer lies in how our brains process novelty – or more accurately, fail to process it. In the 1980s, Northwestern University cognitive scientist Dedre Gentner ran experiments asking people questions like: “How is a solar system like an atom?” Most people answered: “Electrons orbit the nucleus like planets orbit the sun.” Gentner discovered something profound about how the mind works: a process she called structure-mapping. To understand the unfamiliar, humans don’t just make surface comparisons. We map deep relational similarities between domains. We use analogies as cognitive infrastructure. The brain to a computer. The internet to a web. Genes to code. The universe to a network. Analogy is how we compress novelty into familiarity. It’s how we make sense of the world when it starts changing faster than we can keep up. But here’s the problem: Our comparison machinery has run out of comparisons. Godlike powers in our pockets? What’s the analogy? Curing blindness with microchips? Resurrecting the dead with defibrillators? Creating life from stem cells? There are no easy grounds for comparison. Without analogies, we can’t parse the world. The result is cognitive vertigo: the sense that the world is moving faster than we can make sense of it. And when analogies fail, humans start hunting for deeper patterns—what Carl Jung called archetypes. The Rise of Archetypal Media. Jung argued that archetypes are universal patterns embedded in humanity’s collective unconscious, primal symbols that evoke powerful reactions across cultures. The Hero. The Shadow. The Great Mother. The Wise Old Man. In the early twenty-first century, we find ourselves awash in Jungian archetypes. And if you want to track the psychological impact of technological acceleration—the failure of analogy—just count the gods, goddesses, superheroes, and supervillains populating our screens. Start in 1968. The next decade produced one notable cinematic release: Superman. Television gave us Wonder Woman. The 1980s saw a step-function increase: ten superhero films and six TV shows. The 1990s doubled: twenty major releases and nearly as many shows. Between 2000 and 2010? The numbers tripled: sixty films and thirty television series. Jung would argue this surge is an unconscious response to the psychic destabilization brought on by radical acceleration in human potential. With each technological leap, we need new symbols and myths to anchor our understanding of our growing power. Archetypes provide narrative coherence and moral clarity. As Spider-Man says: “With great power comes great responsibility.” We live in a world of abundant archetypes because we live in a world of abundant miracles. The Information Apocalypse There’s another reason we don’t feel divine: information overload. In 3000 BCE, if you measured all the data in the world—papyrus scrolls, clay tablets, the works—you’d total about one gigabyte. The equivalent of 4,000 books. In 2012, when we published Abundance, the world produced 2.8 zettabytes of data. A zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes. That’s 4,000 trillion books. By 2025? 181 zettabytes. We don’t have an analogy for that number. And that’s the point. Information impacts the nervous system, and we’re living through the biggest information surge in history. The result is a mismatch between the data storm outside and the prediction engine inside. Our ancient brains don’t have the bandwidth, and our imagination has been hijacked by the apocalypse. No wonder we don’t feel divine. The Miracles in Your Pocket. Let’s bring this home. You carry miracle technology in your jeans and handbag. You can summon a chariot of the gods disguised as an Uber with a finger tap. You can conjure a feast via Uber Eats with another. You have answers to nearly every question in seconds—omniscience on demand. You can see anyone, anywhere, anytime through video calls—omnipresence as a feature, not a bug. Translation. Navigation. Simulation. Creation. Communication. It’s all at your fingertips. The grandiosity of “omnipresence” and “omniscience” has been replaced by the prosaic “Zoom” and “Google,” but the underlying superpowers are the same. These divine powers are everywhere and everywhen. In 2012, we predicted a future that included autonomous cars, flying cars, delivery drones, and humanoid robots. It sounded like science fiction. Today? Over 30 autonomous car companies are operational. Waymo operates robotaxis with zero safety drivers in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. Tesla Full Self-Driving has over one million users. Flying car companies—eVTOL vehicles—are conducting commercial test flights in Dubai, Los Angeles, and Singapore. Joby Aviation expects to launch commercial operations offering 15-minute flights from LAX to downtown LA (versus 60-90 minutes by car). Nearly every major retailer has robots running their warehouses. Zipline makes thousands of drone deliveries every day, transporting lifesaving medicines and saving tens of thousands of lives in the process. Humanoid robots? Google “Tesla Optimus.” You’ll find videos of robots folding clothing, serving drinks, and holding yoga poses. We’ve gone from hard-to-believe stories to commercial operations in just over a decade. The Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance Here’s the thing: Stewart Brand was right. We are as gods. But he left out the hard part. We have to get good at it. Because the same exponential forces that gave us godlike powers are also overwhelming our nervous systems, hijacking our attention, and triggering bias cascades that blind us to miracles. Our capabilities have far outstripped our wisdom. As Ray Kurzweil writes in his endorsement of We Are as Gods: “Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler show that while exponential technologies deliver the capability for radical abundance, the real challenge lies in upgrading our consciousness to match our accelerating power. This is more than a survival guide—it’s a manual for optimizing our destiny.” That’s the paradox. We have the power to cure blindness, create life, and command machines with our thoughts. But we’re still running Stone Age prediction software in our heads. Our ancient brains don’t have the bandwidth to process miracles at scale. So we feel anxious instead of abundant. Overwhelmed instead of empowered. Burned out instead of divine. The solution isn’t less power. It’s a consciousness upgrade. The Abundance era has arrived. The miracles are here. The blind can see. The paralyzed can walk. We create life from stem cells and resurrect the dead with technology. But without upgrading our consciousness to match our godlike capabilities, we’ll miss it entirely. We’ll keep doom scrolling through the apocalypse, blind to the fact that we’re living through the most extraordinary transformation in human history. The Choice You have a choice. You can keep seeing the world through the lens of negativity bias, confirmation bias, and cognitive overload – where every headline is a disaster and every change feels like a threat. Or you can update your operating system. You can learn to see the miracles you’re living through. You can train your brain to recognize Abundance even when it’s wrapped in disruption. You can, in Stewart Brand’s words, get good at being gods. The tools are here. The data is clear. The miracles are multiplying. The only question is: Will you see them? Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, put it this way: “Diamandis and Kotler’s bestseller Abundance helped shift the global conversation from fear to possibility. Now, We Are as Gods reveals that the forces they predicted—AI, clean energy, digital biology—are scaling at a pace few could imagine. This book argues persuasively that the Abundance era has arrived and challenges leaders to use these capabilities responsibly and ambitiously.” The Abundance era has arrived. The blind can see. The paralyzed can walk. We create worlds with code and life with CRISPR. We are as gods. The question is: Are you ready to get good at it?
It is Babel all over again. Is it any wonder why Jesus has to return to restore righteousness. Be prepared for what is next on God’s agenda for planet earth go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net
Peter H. Diamandis, MD, is the Founder of XPRIZE, Singularity University, ZeroG, A360 and Dave Blundin is the founder & GP of Link Ventures. Both men are well known for the roles on Peter’s, Moonshots blog.
In this video Peter & Dave sit down with Brett Adcock to discuss the future of Figure AI and Humanoid Robots. Brett Adcock is the founder of Figure AI, an AI robotics company developing general-purpose humanoid robots.
Brett Adcock (born April 6, 1986) is an American technology entrepreneur and billionaire who is the founder and chief executive officer of Figure AI. In 2018, Adcock co-founded Archer Aviation, five years after he co-founded Vettery. In 2023, he established Cover. As of June 2024, Forbes estimated his net worth as US$1.4 billion.
In 2026, Figure AI will be working with companies to introduce robots in their companies to replace humans for manufacturing, and all other functions including warehousing and distribution. Figure has 55 companies knocking on the door ready to spend big bucks which will help them scale up their robots manufacture. However, he did say that with neural net his company can produce general-purpose humanoid robots and he is keen to produce them as is Elon Musk with Optimus Robots.
The disruption that robotics will cause to employment in 2026 will just increase the lawlessness we are already seeing in developed countries where for the most part, people, particularly the younger generation have accepted evolution and the Big Bang theory as the origin of life and the Cosmos. For them, God and His commandments are part of myths and legends. Their lives have no meaning or purpose. For Christians who know their Bibles and Biblical end times prophecy realise this is just part of what God has revealed to prepare us for the tribulation that precedes Jesus second coming to earth to usher in His Millennial Kingdom.
