Why I Believe Christ Is Coming Soon

And It Involves AI

There are moments in life when a pattern becomes too consistent to ignore. Not a prediction, not a date, but a convergence. And for me, that convergence has become impossible to dismiss: the rise of artificial intelligence, the acceleration of global transformation, and the undeniable feeling that history is moving toward something final.

I believe Christ is coming soon. And I believe AI has something to do with it.

Let me explain.

The Clock Started Ticking in 1948

Most people who study biblical prophecy recognize the founding of modern Israel in 1948 as a major prophetic milestone. It was a turning point. A prophetic clock restarting after centuries of pause. Jesus said in Matthew 24:34, "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." Many theologians believe this passage points to the generation that witnesses Israel's rebirth.

How long is a generation? Some say 70 to 80 years (Psalm 90:10). Others suggest it's symbolic. But whatever interpretation you hold, the 20th century marked a prophetic reawakening. And we’re now living in the wake of that turning.

At the same time, a different kind of awakening began: the rise of computation.

2045: The Singularity and the Imitation of Omniscience

Ray Kurzweil, a respected technologist and futurist, has long pointed to 2045 as the likely date for the technological singularity.

“I have also set the date 2045 for singularity — which is when humans will multiply our effective intelligence a billion fold, by merging with the intelligence we have created.”

“By 2029, computers will have human-level intelligence,” Kurzweil said. Singularity is that point in time when all advances in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence, will lead to machines smarter than human beings.

This date has become a kind of secular prophecy.

What strikes me is the symmetry: 1948 to 2045 is 97 years. Within that span, we’ve seen the explosion of digital life, the collapse of analog systems, and the birth of something that might soon claim consciousness.

Could it be coincidence? Sure.

But I don’t think so.

I’ve written before about 1948, 2045, the singularity, and how these emerging technologies might intersect with biblical prophecy. But lately, the sense has deepened, not just as theory, but as a conviction.

We’re building machines that mimic divine traits:

• Omniscience (via data and search)

• Omnipresence (via cloud and networks)

• Omnipotence (via control of economies, military systems, narratives)

We are imitating God, not in holiness, but in functionality. And it reminds me of Babel.

AI and the Image of the Beast

Revelation 13:15 says, "And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain."

I’ve always wondered how an "image" could have breath and power. But now, in an age of deepfakes, voice synthesis, autonomous avatars, and AI that can pass as human in conversation, I think I get it.

This is no longer far-fetched. It’s already here.

And while I’m not saying the Antichrist is an AI system, I am saying that AI may be the platform, the interface, or the voice that such a system uses.

In other words: AI might not be the beast.
But it could very well speak for it.

The Mechanicum Moment

A few weeks ago, I was listening to an audiobook from the Horus Heresy series. A sci-fi story steeped in themes of technology, godhood, rebellion, and humanity’s downfall. In that moment, something hit me. It wasn’t just the story. It was the timing.

The exact moment I began to question whether my calling, to speak and write about the intersection of AI and faith, was truly from God, I heard a passage that almost mirrored the question I had been wrestling with the night before. It was eerie. Convicting. Affirming.

It felt like an answer. Not proof, but confirmation.

Like I was saying yesterday, God can use anything to speak. Even a sci-fi novel.

And in that moment, I sensed that what I was working on wasn’t just interesting. It was urgent.

The Stage Is Set

Everywhere you look, the pieces are in place:

• Israel is a nation.

• The global economy is digital.

• Truth is decentralized, scattered, and manipulated.

• AI is poised to reshape the world in less than a decade.

• We’re being conditioned to outsource judgment, morality, and even spiritual questions to machines.

This isn’t fearmongering or scare tactics. This is pattern recognition.

The systems described in Revelation are becoming technically feasible. For the first time in history, it is possible for a single system to monitor, deceive, and control at a planetary level.

And the more we hand over our choices to algorithms, the easier it will be for those systems to enforce not just behavior, but belief.

Why I’m Not Afraid

Yes, I believe Christ is coming soon.
No, I don’t live in fear.

Because the more the world spirals, the more the Gospel shines.

Jesus promised that when these things begin to happen, we should "look up, because your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28).

We were told this would happen. Not so we would panic, but so we would prepare.

So we would wake up.

So we would proclaim.

The Window Is Narrowing

This is not about setting dates.
It’s about seeing the hour.

The Church must recognize that what we’re facing is not just technological. It’s spiritual. AI may become the greatest test of human pride and trust since Eden. We are once again being offered fruit from a tree that promises wisdom apart from God.

And just like then, the real question is: Who will we trust?

I believe Christ is coming soon.
Because the world looks ready for Him.
Because the system looks ready for a counterfeit.
Because the Spirit in me says, "Stay awake."

And because the technology we thought would save us
may be the very thing that tells us
we no longer need a Savior.
