The following is an excerpt from chapter 19 of my new book, Remnant: The Righteous Remnant Now Arises.
Even though rapid increases in knowledge have already changed the world faster than ever before, it’s expected to accelerate even more because the technological innovations fueling the changes are accelerating. Ray Kurzweil, a former Google engineer and author of several futurist books, predicts by the 2030’s, we will be able to connect our neo-cortex, the part of our brain where we do our thinking, to the virtual cloud, allowing us to access and share data without assistance from any external devices. By 2045, he predicts technology will reach the point of singularity, which is when human intelligence increases a billion-fold by merging with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine intelligence surpasses human intelligence with the ability to conceive new ideas no human being has ever thought before, thus enabling machines to invent new technologies more sophisticated and advanced than anything we have today, causing an even faster acceleration in new technologies. Ray Kurzweil has a great track record in predicting new technologies, including smart phones, broadband Internet, virtual reality headsets, speech to text programs, intelligent answering machines, driverless cars, and voice recognition devices.
Knowledge is power, so increasing knowledge by a billion-fold is only good if accompanied with the wisdom to know how to use it. In the hands of the wrong people, unrighteous people using it for their own unrighteous purposes, singularity would have unimaginable consequences. The dramatic acceleration in spiritual darkness in the past twenty years would pale in comparison to what would happen after achieving singularity. It would be a game changer moment in history, taking us to a place God never intended us to go without Him, like building the Tower of Babel that reaches all the way to heaven. (Genesis 11:1-9) God didn’t allow that to happen and I don’t believe He will allow this either because if it was going to happen, I think He would have warned us, but there’s no mention of anything like it in any Bible prophecies. Plus, the timing of Ray Kurzweil’s forecast for achieving it by 2045 falls within the 2037 to 2047 window, possibly the time of the Lord’s return, which is quite a coincidence and sounds like another clue that God will intervene to stop it. (Matthew 24:22)
Our journey to singularity has already started as we have become increasingly dependent upon technology, keeping our devices always within reach, but the ultimate goal of transhumanists is to make us one with technology, so we become something beyond human, giving us god-like powers without any need for God, even achieving immortality. Meanwhile, God is pursuing a different version of singularity by raising up a remnant to become one with Him, increasingly dependent upon Him, which has already started through our pursuit of righteousness, which brings us into closer alignment with His will, His plans, and His purposes, and with each other, joining us together as one body, bringing us to full maturity of what He has always wanted us to be, a pure and spotless bride, totally devoted to Him. (Ephesians 5:27)
Ironically, the same advances in technology moving the world closer to singularity are also helping the remnant draw closer to God by giving us unprecedented access to the scriptures, Bible commentaries, Bible teachings, anointed music, plus remote access to worship sessions, prayer meetings, revival services, and fellowship with like-minded people anywhere in the world. So, technology is empowering hungry disciples to grow stronger and faster in faith than any previous generation, causing righteousness to arise, shining brighter and brighter until the Son of Man appears in the sky like lightning flashing from the east to the west. (Isaiah 10:20-23, Malachi 4:2, Matthew 24:27)
Just as Ray Kurzweil’s version of singularity produces a billion-fold increase in knowledge, God’s version also produces an exponential increase as His forerunners tap into the realm where all things are possible to demonstrate His divine nature in greater ways than ever seen before, attracting the attention of the world and bringing in a great harvest of souls. (Psalm 133:1-3, Isaiah 60:1-5, Amos 9:13-15, Zechariah 2:10-12, Matthew 13:24-30, Mark 16:15-18, John 12:32-33, 14:12-13, 17:20-23, Acts 1:7-8)

The singularity is also very addictive to the flesh , every bit as bad as heroin . Just as a child builds electrical pathways in their mind to walk & talk daily . So those that use technology daily are building pathways in their mind that are addictive , unknowingly in most cases . There have been psychology studies on this , most who use a smart phone / computer daily for more than a year have built the pathways of dependence & addiction in their mind and are addicted . What happens to an addict when their drug is taken away , withdrawals . I have found few addicts can see or admit their problem , or want help for it . People / sheeple are so well trained now , when new technology comes out they will line up for hours & pay thousands for their fix & have no clue it is a drug , because it is technology , all of which imitates HOLY SPIRIT in some way . Sit and watch people in a public place and see how many are looking down instead of up , it is easy to see . Blessings
On a very related note years ago when I lived in CA I was in a Verizon store about my phone and I asked one of the guys who worked there what would happen if the government shutdown all the cellphones immediately he said riots
Great minds & followers of Christ are being shown how singularity is tied with the mark of the beast technology. A Minutetomidnite video was released July 12th entitled “Dr Michael Lake – Terrifying Truth about Singularity & Mark of the Beast Technology” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQKR9A2GQnk
Agree with what you have said Expat Gal.. I did listen to one of Dr Michael Lakes talks/program re AI. The one I listened to was on” Remnant call Radio’: Titled Artificial Intelligence & The Strong Delusion. with Brother Frank & Dr Michael Lake Watching this one to the link you posted also..
A friend posted me a link well over a year ago.. to a video on you tube: title was AI -singularity starts next week.. that was maybe 2018 0r earlier..with Quinn Michaels & Jason Goodman.. I don’t think they are believers as such but talking about the technology behind BItcoin had to start with AI../due to the alogorithms.? the technology was so complex to create the whole thing. .
Hi, Expat Gal. I know you are much more well-read on these matters than I am, so I wanted to ask you a question. I noticed that when I was looking at timepieces on Pinterest, that all of the watches are set to 10:10. Do you think the elites have a plan for evil set for October 10, or something at that time of day, or do timepieces just look more asthecially beautiful when set to that time? It’s uncanny to see that most of them are set for that time. Is it like 9/11? So in our faces? I prayed but have no answer, so I’m hopeful you’ve been enlightened on this matter.
Hi Carolanne! I have not heard anything about 10/10 but there is great significance with 9/23 (Many Fish, Enterthestarz, etc.) discuss this. Sorry I can not help. Hope you are well!
Hi, Expat Gal. 🌼I’m doing pretty well today. No worries, it’s just kind of weird, because so many timepieces point to that time. I guess it’s just an aesthetic thing then. 🌹🌸🌺
We also have a religious leader pursuing a singularity of faith, to bring about global peace but without God and several financial leaders leaders pursuing an economic singularity, to bring about global prosperity but again without God. Yet those who abide in Christ have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding and who supplies all their needs according to his riches in glory in Christ.
There is more truth to what James has written than most Christians realize. The framework of the singularity to operate within the emerging Anti-Christ system is on the fast track all around us. Amazon is planning to launch over 3000 low earth Satellites as other companies are planning the same and within the next 2 to 4 years we will have every square inch of this planet covered with a blanket of instant internet coverage. It is the internet of things and all things being connected
Great points Erick. The rate of changes is accelerating.
The awesome encouragement you give here in this article is that we can use all of this increase in knowledge for Kingdom purposes too. So we are always one up on the evil one to beat him at his own game. But truly, those who are looking down, not up, will be asleep. I was walking along texting on my phone like everyone else. I saw a man use exaggerated gestures of texting on an imaginary phone, like a mime would do. It was quite surreal I think it might have been an angel to convict and warn me. Here I am…using technology again right now. At least it’s for Kingdom purposes, for an increase in knowledge, so I’m one up on evil!
Amen. It’s a wonderful thing when used for the right purposes.
I just use phone to listen to YouTube trunews and minute to midnight etc. And for some reason I been learning Chinese for the last year. I don’t know why. But there’s alot of apps for learning it. I speak Spanish also. And I view z3news. I haven’t posted on fb in years. I travel alot for work…… construction. It comes in handy for the purposes I use it for. But I see everyone addicted to it. Narcissistic behavior. Selfies addicted to getting likes. I’m glad I’m single last 7 years. I couldn’t imagine having gf or wife. Hey hey hey trying get her attention away from her cellphone. Btw nice to see z3 back in action.
Ray’s comments actually agree with scripture. Daniel 12:4 says that in the last days knowledge will increase.
About singularity, I had a dream where a ‘person’ came up to me and talked to me. He said he was a robot and I didnt believe him because he was looking so real. Even had a lightly freckled face.
He looked at me with pleading eyes and said he will show me and put a small light on behind his left eye (in christian symbolism left means wrong or false).
I knew then I couldnt deny it anymore and was just shocked to the core that such a thing could be possible.
Since the dream happened some months ago I am much more keenly watching technological advances. I believe that kind of technology is not here yet but it is coming soon.
The person was so real-life looking, I realized to what devasting effect it could be used to penetrate every sphere of life.
If this robot dream does not in fact mean real robots, it could mean singularity and that spesific human has become ‘false’ and his eyes are seeing ‘wrong’.
James, I must’ve missed something, as I don’t know where
“the 2037 to 2047 window”
fits in. Is it possible to explain where this comes from. I haven’t heard of that window before Thank you
Hi, Yawchal.
James has shared his thoughts about what might possibly be the year of the Lord’s return here: https://z3news.com/w/2032-year-lords-return/.
In the same post, he references another post about insights that Terry Bennett apparently shared in an interview on TruNews, on September 18, 2014 (https://z3news.com/w/you-will-see-666/).
I have also seen Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj share on video that the Lord returns before 2067. You can hear him share that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIyGlIYMoCs.
Do bear in mind that we still see through a glass darkly, and nothing is set in stone here.
Thanks for sharing these posts Sujit. I provided an update in my book explaining why I believe His return is more likely in the 2040’s.
Sujit, You are awesome for providing those links thanks so much
Blessings
Bro Sujit,per sadhu’s video the lord told him HE WILL COME BEFORE 2067 NOT ON 2067 ,THAT THE NEXT CELEBRATION OF JUBILEE(50 YEARS FROM 2017) OF ANNEXING JERUSALEM FROM THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL .SO THIS CAN BE 2037 TO 2047 AS JAMES STATED .
It’s tough to explain with a short comment, but I explained this in detail in chapters 16 and 17 of my book. It is based on the colossal prophetic significance of the Jewish people reclaiming Jerusalem in 1967. Many major shifts happened at that time which have continued unfolding since then, showing how that event marked the beginning of the season of His return. These discoveries were quite remarkable to me and I am convinced I barely scratched the surface because I continued finding more connections everywhere I looked until the book was completed.
Jesus said the generation that sees the signs fulfilled will not pass away until they’re all fulfilled. (Matthew 24:33-34) So what is a generation?
The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. (Psalm 90:10 NKJV)
Adding 70 to 80 years to 1967 comes to 2037 to 2047 as the possible window of the Lord’s return. However, my bias is more like 2041-2047 due to other things God has revealed. I believe flying away at the end has a double meaning referring to both our individual spirit and the rapture of the righteous.
Thank you so much James, for taking the time to answer that question
Blessings
Hi Yawchal, so lovely to hear from you. Trust you are well and I pray a blessed summer harvest for you.
Thank you so much Mikey. Yes, I am very well. The Lord is very busy with me lately— lots of changes and growth
Hoping you are well and happy.
Be blessed my brother
Amazing, thought-provoking excerpt James!
