Robots & AI IN THE BIBLE

May 22, 2025 /

“They scale walls like soldiers” Joel 2:7… Are the Locusts of Joel and Revelation Prophetic Metaphors for Future Technology?

This article follows on from ‘Submarines in the Bible’ as it’s a little bit ‘out there’, but I’ve done it on purpose! It’s meant to challenge your thinking about God’s word, what it really means, and how it’s relevant to today’s world.

The Bible is a text rich in metaphor, mystery, and prophecy. For millennia, scholars have debated the meaning behind its symbols. In our modern age, a new layer of interpretation has emerged—one that considers the possibility that ancient prophetic visions may align with 21st-century technological developments.

Here, I’m speculating that the locusts in the book of Joel and Revelation may not be literal insects, but symbolic representations of future machines—perhaps even a swarm of robotic entities.

The Locusts of Joel: Robotic Swarms?

The book of Joel clearly says that a plague of locusts ravage the land.

But it’s more than that. Read Joel 2:31 and you’ll see it’s also talking about the day of the Lord.

In Joel 2:10 the vision is apocalyptic. The earth quakes before them. The sun, moon and stars withdraw their shining.

If Joel’s vision was indeed prophetic, it’s conceivable he is describing not just insects, but future machines—perhaps drones or robotic units devastating landscapes with the cold precision of artificial intelligence.

Military drone swarms (like locust swarms) have now become a reality, and robot armies are being developed for use in warfare.

The headless robot dogs, developed 7 years ago, freaked me out back then. But the tech is advancing at lightening speed, and the new age of AI and robots is now upon us.

Revelation’s Locusts from the Abyss

In Revelation 9, another swarm of locusts emerges—this time from the Abyss:

“And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.” (Revelation 9:3)

These locusts are given a disturbing and surreal description. They are demons, but perhaps they are inhabiting robot bodies?

“The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle… their faces were like human faces… they had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.” (Revelation 9:7-9)

The imagery here is bizarre—part animal, part machine, part human. Could it be that John, like Joel, was seeing something technological that he lacked the vocabulary to describe? Iron breastplates, the sound of mechanical wings, and terrifying synthetic faces all align uncannily with descriptions of advanced robotics or cybernetic drones—devices perhaps designed for psychological warfare as much as physical destruction.

The following video predicts that this scenario could come true as early as 2028.

Given that these locusts emerge from the “Abyss,” a term often associated with the spiritual realm or deep places of the Earth, one might even interpret this as a reference to technology originating from hidden or classified sources—perhaps even from subterranean facilities or advanced AI research black sites.

Additionally, the enigmatic “image of the beast” in Revelation could, in light of recent advances, be reimagined as a prophetic vision of holographic artificial intelligence.

I actually don’t think this is correct.

It’s much more likely that Bible scholars got it correct in the past, when they concluded that the image of the beast was either the USA or the United Nations submitting to Roman Catholic dominance, as governments did in the dark ages. (Even this week Anthony Albanese invited the pope to visit Australia.)

But here’s an alternate scenario.

The Image of the Beast: A Hologram?

Further deepening the technological reading of Revelation is the “image of the beast” in Revelation 13.

“It was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could speak and cause all who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.” (Revelation 13:15)

This image described is not simply a statue; it is animated, speaking, and capable of judgment. In a pre-modern world, such a vision would be unfathomable. But in our age of holography, AI-driven virtual avatars, and deepfake technologies, it becomes chillingly plausible.

Imagine a globally projected holographic figure, infused with artificial intelligence, demanding allegiance. With voice synthesis, predictive algorithms, and biometric surveillance, such an “image” could, in theory, interact, track, and even punish dissenters. The ability to “cause those who refuse to worship to be killed” need not be mystical—it could be enforced by autonomous systems, robotic enforcers, or algorithm-driven security frameworks.

Even if that doesn’t happen, time is running out on us before everything gets rewritten with AI…

Convergence of Prophecy and Technology

None of this is to dismiss the spiritual or theological layers of Biblical prophecy. Rather, it is to suggest that ancient visions may contain dual meanings—both symbolic and literal—and that the literal fulfillment may unfold in a world dominated by technologies the prophets could scarcely comprehend, yet dimly foresaw through divine inspiration.

When we read the descriptions of coordinated swarming locusts, synthetic monsters from the abyss, and speaking images demanding worship, we must ask: are these simply metaphors, or was the Bible warning us of a future where technology—ungoverned by morality—becomes the true apocalyptic force?

As artificial intelligence, robotics, and immersive holography race forward, perhaps we are witnessing not just innovation, but the unfolding of visions sealed for “the time of the end” (Daniel 12:9). The locusts may yet return—not as insects, but as the machines of our own making.

The King of AI

The Bible mentions a place called Ai. Could the story be an indication of God's displeasure with the devils plans for AI in the future? 

MAYBE NOT, BUT THEN AGAIN, CONSIDER THIS...

Using AI with a double meaning (AI instead of Ai), is NOT stretching the boundaries of Biblical interpretation. Here’s why:

When you see “Abraham” or “Moses” or “Ai” capitalized in your English Bible, that’s entirely a convention of English translation, not something present in the Hebrew source text which did not use either capitals or lower case in the text. Therefore using ‘AI’ instead of ‘Ai’ is still maintaining an accurate translation.

But in the Bible, is the destruction of the city of AI symbolic of the future fate of modern Artificial Intelligence?

It depends on how prophetic you think some Bible stories may be, and if you think AI can be used by the devil, or not.

The following video shows how AI is already being used by organisations with warlike agendas. Apparently the company behind Claude AI is already involved in a dispute about it’s use with the United States military, in the operation that captured President Maduro:

https://youtu.be/JSetfLwM5sI?si=EUSHunkaCuXqKhV9

If you think AI is from the devil, (and why not? – AI is basically a pattern recognition machine, however even the experts admit they don’t really know how AI thinks, and it often lies… Satan is the Father of lies.) If you think demons control AI, you may find the Bible story about AI in JOSHUA CHAPTER 8 interesting.

Jos 8:1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai /AI : see, I have given into thy hand the king of AI, and his people, and his city, and his land:

Jos 8:18 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai/AI; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.

Jos 8:25 records that 12,000 were killed. This number is often used in the Bible, where it represents a complete, ordered, and total action—whether that is the saving of God’s people totally (as in Revelation) or the total judgment of a city in disobedience (as in Joshua). 

Jos 8:28 And Joshua burnt Ai/AI, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.

Jos 8:29 And the king of AI he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

Is that symbolic of God’s total abolition of the power of the devil in the future? It would not surprise me.

Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon because he gave power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? This verse is talking about the nations of the world worshiping the devil. The beast is a clearly a political entity led by the dragon (Satan). (The rider of the beast is a powerful church described in Revelation chapter 17.)

Will the beast also be assisted by AI?

Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

It is entirely possible that Satan the devil ultimately uses AI to make war on mankind with his battle for control of the mind, using AI to control the media…

…or even physical control of the population in the future!

AI Job Apocalypse & Complete Chaos: How Exponential Change Will Reshape the World by 2028

February 2, 2025 /
Turning your world Upside Down

Here’s what the next three years will bring—and how to prepare for the storm

The world is on the brink of a transformation so profound it feels almost apocalyptic. AI is advancing at an exponential pace, threatening to wipe out millions of jobs by 2028. Chaotic weather patterns, fueled by climate change, are destabilizing nations and creating widespread suffering. For those who look to the Bible, the words of Daniel 12:4 resonate deeply:
“But you, O Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased.”
Knowledge is indeed increasing at an unprecedented rate, and with it comes disruption, chaos, and uncertainty.

The Exponential Pace of Change: A Ticking Time Bomb  

The pace of technological advancement isn’t just fast—it’s exponential. What used to take decades now happens in years, and what took years now happens in months. By 2028, the world will be unrecognizable. Here’s what to expect:  

1. Currently: AI tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and MidJourney are becoming ubiquitous, automating 40% of administrative and creative tasks in fields such as law, finance, and customer service. Self-driving trucks will soon dominate the roads, wiping out 3 million trucking jobs in the U.S. alone. This shift will be felt across industries, but some sectors will be hit harder than others.

2. 2026: AI begins replacing mid-level management roles, with algorithms making decisions faster and more efficiently than humans. The global job market sees its first wave of mass unemployment, with 75 million jobs lost worldwide.  

3. 2027: AI achieves near-human-level reasoning, disrupting industries like law, medicine, and engineering. Even high-skilled workers are at risk, and the gig economy becomes the only lifeline for millions. According to the World Economic Forum’s *Future of Jobs Report 2023*, 23% of jobs are expected to change by 2027, with 83 million jobs eliminated and 69 million new roles created.

4. 2028: AI systems begin to outperform humans in virtually every field, leading to widespread economic and social upheaval. Governments struggle to respond, and inequality reaches unprecedented levels. The middle class is gone, leaving only a few ultra rich, and the rest struggle to survive.  

The exponential growth of AI isn’t just changing the job market—it’s reshaping society itself.

And as knowledge increases, so does the chaos.

Chaotic Weather and End Times Prophecies 

While AI disrupts the job market, the physical world is also in turmoil. Chaotic weather patterns, fueled by climate change, are becoming more frequent and severe. Hurricanes, wildfires, and floods are devastating communities, displacing millions, and straining global resources. For those who study biblical prophecy, these events echo the words of Matthew 24, where Jesus describes the signs of the end times:  

– “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” (Matthew 24:7)  

– “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12)  

– “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” (Matthew 24:21)

The convergence of technological disruption and environmental chaos feels like a fulfillment of these prophecies. As AI reshapes the economy, extreme weather events are destabilizing nations, leading to food shortages, mass migrations, and social unrest.

The world is entering a period of unprecedented uncertainty.

One of the leading figures of the AI boom, and CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, says “AI will probably lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime there’ll be great companies!”

Industries on the Brink of Collapse

The dual forces of AI and environmental chaos are pushing entire industries to the brink. Here’s what’s at risk:  

1. Agriculture: Chaotic weather is disrupting crop yields, while AI-driven automation is replacing farmworkers. Real food production, as opposed to GMO food production, is being threatened.  

2. Energy: Extreme weather is straining power grids. Solar and wind energy production is unable to cope, and the switch away from coal by certain governments is being exposed as a monumental blunder. At the same time AI is optimizing energy production, leaving human workers redundant.  

3. Construction: Extreme weather is destroying infrastructure, while AI-powered robots are taking over construction jobs.  

4. Healthcare: AI is revolutionizing diagnostics and treatment, but increasing unwellness, wars, and other disasters are overwhelming healthcare systems. The American people are the sickest in the world, due to the deception of the food and drug companies. Rev 18:23 has never been more applicable.  

5. Art & Publishing: It now takes just a few seconds to produce art like this…

6. Societal Chaos: Misinformation, Deepfakes, and Ethical Concerns

AI’s impact extends beyond the economy—it’s also reshaping society in ways that could lead to chaos. One of the most pressing concerns is the rise of AI-generated misinformation and deepfakes. In 2023, deepfake cases increased by 900% compared to 2022 (DeepTrace Labs, 2023), raising fears about their use in elections, fraud, and propaganda.

Ethical concerns are also mounting. A 2023 Stanford study found that 65% of AI systems exhibit significant bias in hiring and lending decisions, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability. Governments are struggling to keep pace with AI advancements, with the EU’s AI Act aiming to regulate high-risk AI applications.

How to Survive the Coming Chaos 

The convergence of AI disruption and environmental chaos demands urgent action. Here’s how to prepare:  

1. Reskill for the AI Economy: Learn AI-related skills like data analysis, coding, or digital marketing. Platforms like Coursera and Udemy offer affordable courses.  

2. Prepare for Climate Instability: Stockpile essentials, learn survival skills, and consider relocating to areas less vulnerable to extreme weather.  

3. Strengthen Community Ties: In times of crisis, community is your greatest asset. Build relationships with neighbors and local organizations.  

4. Stay Spiritually Grounded: Now is the time to deepen your faith and seek guidance through prayer, and studying deeper into Scripture. The Bible is not myth or fiction. In case you haven’t read my Proof of the Bible page, or have doubts about God, the following video should help you understand that Bible stories are real!

A World on the Edge  

The next three years will be a period of exponential change and unprecedented disruption. AI will reshape the job market, chaotic weather will destabilize nations, and the signs of the end times will become harder to ignore. As Daniel 12:4 foretold, knowledge is increasing, and with it comes both opportunity and peril. The question is: Are you ready?

Conclusion 

By 2028, the world will be a very different place. AI-driven job loss, chaotic weather, and the fulfillment of biblical prophecies will converge to create a future that is both exhilarating and terrifying. The time to prepare is now. Reskill, adapt, and strengthen your community—because the future is coming, and it’s coming fast.

What do you think about the rapid changes we’re seeing? Are you prepared for what’s coming?

The Reality of Fire

January 11, 2025 /

Wow! 2025 is sure coming in with a bang… The current L.A. fires are very traumatic for those involved. At least 29 people have died.

I tend to be a bit judgemental about Hollywood, and the people who are complicit in making their sick movies, but I tend to believe conspiracy theories, rather than saying this was an act of God.

Some reports say fog was sprayed over southern California containing highly flammable magnesium particles which were ignited by Direct Energy Weapons. It sounds far fetched, so I don’t know if it’s true.

It’s hard to believe the changes that fire can bring. The aftermath can be heartbreaking.

Back in 2019 we had a fire go through our own property, and I should mention the miracle attached to that story.

A fire truck that should not have been in our area was ordered to leave when the fire became too severe, but the crew were cut off at our place, and so, because they were there, where they weren’t supposed to be, they saved our house! Even so, our caravan, a container, part of a shed, a pump house, and 30 years of beautiful gardens were burned in spite of their efforts. This was before the fire:

We were able to evacuate just in time. When embers began falling in the yard I was getting into my pajamas, but my wife realized it was time to go!

The wind got so bad I was not able to secure the driveway gate properly on the way out, and when we returned next morning the wood in it was shattered to pieces and the other end of the fence burned.

This is the gate I had trouble securing.

This is the second gate at the other end of the long fence we built, which survived, but a section of the wood got burned.

It took us a year of hard work to properly clean up.

The next two photos both feature the same rock, before…

Then after both drought and fire.

I won’t say more, except, because of the Biblical theme I have going on this website, it’s appropriate to include this Revelation 9 screenshot about what’s still to come in Bible prophecy:

God is real. His words are real, and when you experience fire, you know just how real that is.

The Bible says God is love. It also says God is a fire.

Which is it then? Is God Love, or is He a Fire?

God’s fire is only for those who spit in God’s face. Psalms 11:6, Luke 17:29.

For those who don’t reject God, there is very good news. This is Zephaniah 3, from the New Living Translation:

Or read 1 Peter 5:7 or Psalm 36:7, 7 or Isaiah 58:11.

At least two translations say, “And the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong”.

The Reality of God’s Love

Staying with the subject of explaining God’s love, Jesus said we should forgive those who sin against us 70 times 7. (That’s according to most translations. Mat 18:22 is poorly translated in the ESV.)

Amazingly, in the more accurate KJV, Jesus is referred to by name 70 x 7 in the odd books of the Bible, and again 70 x 7 in the even books!

This video has complete details to verify it.

Jesus forgives our sins. God verifies it by using the same number, for the number of times Jesus is mentioned in the Bible! It shows that God IS love…

Fires, trials, and troubles are designed to purify us (Rev 3:18) and prepare us for an eternity where death and hell are themselves thrown into the lake of fire. (See Revelation 20.)

All things, in the end, can work for the good! Romans 8:28

The photo below is not the same fire that threatened our house. It’s just burning off we did on another occasion!

Submarines in the Bible!

January 8, 2025 /

The Bible is more interesting than most people realise, but I need to include a disclaimer for this page. This is speculation only. Please judge for yourself if you think it’s realistic or not. If not, don’t let that deter you from studying more sure subjects.

Scripture tells us God has prophesied the end from the beginning: Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose:

In my opinion, I believe God has hidden things in the Bible that have only been revealed in the last 50 years. Such as submarines in the Bible! This concept is not original to me, but it’s still unknown to most people.

It seems to me that in a few places the Bible codenames subs, calling them ‘Leviathan‘ and ‘Dragons.’

For example, Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

So here’s the thing: Why would God PUNISH a sea creature that he’s made?

It could be that Satan is being referred to as the dragon, or leviathan, however consider Psalm 104:26:There go the ships, there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

But maybe God didn’t directly make it!… In Scripture, God takes responsibility even for things he hasn’t done. That’s because God made everything, and without God, nothing would exist.

Before we go further into the Scriptures, let me just mention that modern-day Israel currently has a fleet of five subs that are believed to be fitted with nuclear-capable cruise missiles, and one of them is called 'Leviathan.' 
Israel also has a sixth sub on order, due to be delivered in 2027, called Drakon, which means Dragon.

Psalms 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Let’s look at the other verses where LEVIATHAN is mentioned in Scripture.

Do some of these mentions of ‘Leviathan’ have a DOUBLE meaning?

Job 3:8 (Youngs Literal Translation)
LET THE CURSERS OF DAY MARK IT, WHO ARE READY TO WAKE UP LEVIATHAN.

Finally, Job 41, the entire chapter. Most of it seems to be talking about your regular sea monster, but there are a few things, such as doors in the sea monster, that make you wonder! I’ve added comments.

Can you pull in Leviathan with a fish hook or tie down its tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook? (This is not an ordinary fish.)

Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with soft words? (Low frequency digital signals?) Will it make an agreement with you for you to take it as your slave for life?

Can you make a pet of it like a bird or put it on a leash for the young women in your house? Wycliffe-Modern translation says ‘Whether thou shalt scorn him as a bird (aeroplane?), either shalt thou bind him to thine handmaidens?‘ (In the navy, woman are not allowed to be crew on submarines.)

Will traders barter for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants?

Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears?

If you lay a hand on it, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!

Any hope of subduing it is false; the mere sight of it is overpowering. No one is fierce enough to rouse it.

Who then is able to stand against me? Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.

Smoke pours from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
Its breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from its mouth.
Strength resides in its neck;
dismay goes before it.

The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.
Its chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone. (Referring to the uranium powered atomic reactor core? See just how hard in the screenshot below.)

I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs (KJV – ‘his parts’ but the word can also mean pole or stave,) possibly referring to the propellor shaft, or the PERISCOPE?

This is so interesting I thought I’d share a couple of screenshots in order to prove I’m not making it up! The word used is Strong’s # H905, (bad or baddaw) as shown above. It appears 16 other times in the Old Testament in the context of staves or poles. The ChatGPT screenshot shows just four of them.

Continuing Job 41…

its strength and its graceful form.
Who can strip off its outer coat?

Who can penetrate its double coat of armor? (The KJV translates the last part as “who can come to him with his double bridle?” What on earth does that mean? A double bridle may refer to its propeller and rudder for steering! )

Who dares open the DOORS (note that this monster has doors, plural – more than one!) of its mouth, RINGED ABOUT with fearsome teeth?

When the sub pictured below opens its missile DOORS there are two rows, EIGHT RINGED DOORS IN EACH ROW, that look like teeth.

Its back has rows of shields tightly sealed together; each is so close to the next that no air can pass between. And They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.

Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Flames stream from its mouth; sparks of fire shoot out. (Torpedoes, of course, result in fire.)

When it rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before its thrashing. (ASV: When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.)

North Korea is of particular concern. They have a fleet of about 70 submarines including at least one operational missile submarine.

The sword that reaches it has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin. Iron it treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.

Arrows do not make it flee;
slingstones are like chaff to it.
A club seems to it but a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.

Its undersides are jagged potsherds,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge. Translations vary, making it hard to know the true meaning of some verses. Wycliffe-Modern is completely different for this verse. It says “The beams of the sun shall be under him; and he shall strew to himself gold as clay.”

(The Wycliffe translation describes Leviathan in the future tense, but, because it does that with most subjects, it may not mean anything here.)

This is obscure language. Are these pointed shards coming from the sea monster, or is it the result of nuclear missiles being fired?

It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.

It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had white hair.
Nothing on earth is its equal—
a creature without fear.
It looks down on all that are haughty;
it is king over all that are proud.”

Twelve Submarine-Like Features

How many characteristics of these Biblical sea monsters just happen to match a description of modern subs? Here’s a summary of some of the above points.

All references below are set for the King James Version, but TRANSLATIONS VARY.

1) They shoot fire (Job 41:19). Therefore this is not merely a crocodile.
2) They have tightly joined together outer scales (Job 41:15-17, 23)
3) Conversations with them are in low frequency (Job 41:3)
4) Woman (or damsels!) are not tied to them (Job 41:5)
5) Flames dart from their mouth (Job 41:21) This is more than one mention, with smoke separating the two mentions. Could one refer to torpedoes, and the other missiles?
6) The nether, or lower heart of Leviathan is as hard as a nuclear reactor core (Job 41:24)
7) Other “parts” of them may be a limb OR a pole, stave or periscope (Job 41:12) (plus the same verse adds power in a graceful shape!)
8) They may have a double steering device (Job 41:13) [perhaps not directly relevant, but James 3:3-4 also manages to associate bridles with steering ships]
9) They have ringed doors that open in rows (Job 41:14)
10) and when they open their doors, people are besides themselves with terror. (Job 41:25)
11) They churn the deep (Job 41:31)
12) They leave a glistening wake behind them in the water (Job 41:32)

Subs and wars originate with Satan the devil. God accepts ultimate responsibility, and in the future, God will punish when needed. (Isaiah 27:1, Psalms 74:13,14.)

So are these sea monsters also submarines?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

But there is one more thing I found…

Another Fascinating Coincidence

If you go to https://pastorstevew.com you can download and read a free ebook called TIME IS RUNNING OUT. It has a chart that matches years to chapters in the King James Bible, according to a logical countdown progression. You may think it’s bizarre, but many of the years have news events that match English words in the chapters.

For example James chapter 4 matches the year 1903, the year of the first successful aeroplane flight, and although out of context, verse 10 contains the phrase “lift you up.”

Another example: 1912 matches 2 Peter chapter 3, and verse 6 in the chapter happens to say “being overflowed with water perished,” which matches the sinking of the Titanic in that same year -2012.

Pastor Steve gives dozens of other examples that fit, even though this is something you may think is not a legitimate way to study Scripture!

I wondered if there were any more ways to verify the Countdown Calendar and timeline. Then I noticed that the year 1899 is assigned to Job 41.

I believe submarines in the Bible, as detailed above, are described throughout the entire chapter of Job 41.

How does it connect?

Well, that was the exact year the United States navy purchased its first submarine! The very first naval sub was the USS Holland, and the navy bought it on April 11, 1899, for $150,000. It was put into service the following year.

That’s an amazing coincidence.

Nothing here is proof of anything, but the coincidences tend to verify each other, pointing to both possibilities being correct.

The Jubilee Count to the End

June 3, 2024 / / 0 Comments

An open-ended exploration of converging prophetic timelines

Starting Point: Why the Jubilee Matters

Some may not realise it, but the Biblical Jubilee pictures the coming reign of Christ, when men are set free from Satan’s bondage. It’s introduced in Leviticus, with various instructions about keeping it. Eg. Lev 25:10. At its heart, the Jubilee is about liberation — debts cancelled, slaves freed, land returned to its original owners. It points forward to the time when humanity is finally set free from bondage to sin and death. That’s the big picture. But the Jubilee is also a counting mechanism, and when you follow the count carefully, something interesting happens.

I want to walk through a series of prophetic calculations based on the Jubilee cycle. There are genuine uncertainties in the dates, but the alignments are striking enough that I think they’re worth taking seriously, and I’ll try to be honest throughout about where I’m confident and where I’m not.

First: How Does the Jubilee Count Work?

Before getting into the prophecies, we need to be clear on how the Jubilee cycle is counted — because there’s a common misunderstanding here that I held myself for a long time.

It’s 49 years, not 50

Many people assume the Jubilee cycle is 50 years. But look at what Leviticus 25:8 actually says: count seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven — that’s 49 years. The fiftieth year is the Jubilee, yes, but it falls on the first year of the next 49-year count, not as a separate additional year.

It’s like saying Sunday is on the eighth day of a 7 day week, but we still count weeks consecutively in 7’s. The Jubilee works the same way — the 50th year and the 1st year of the next cycle are the same year, and the cycle continues in blocks of 49.

This matters a lot for the calculations below. If you use 50-year blocks, the timelines drift and the historical matches disappear. Using 49-year blocks, as Leviticus actually specifies, produces much more precise results.

When does the count start?

Leviticus 25:1–12 connects the Jubilee count to Israel’s entry into the Promised Land. So the natural starting point is the Jordan crossing, which the biblical chronology places at approximately 1406 BC. This date has supporting evidence in sources like the Apocryphon of Joshua, and it’s the foundation everything else is built on.

From 1406 BC, every 49 years marks a Jubilee boundary. Let’s see where those boundaries land.

Daniel 9:25 — A Second Calculation?

Daniel 9:24–27 is a prophecy most people have encountered in some form.

24 Seventy weeks (or periods of seven - Strongs H7620) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again (twice), and the wall, even in troublous times.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 And he (the Messiah) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

It describes ‘seventy sevens’ — 490 years — concerning Israel and Jerusalem, ending with the Messiah. The standard Christ-centred reading understands this as culminating in Jesus: his ministry confirming the new covenant in the first half of the final seven-year period, and the sacrificial system being rendered obsolete at the midpoint when the temple veil tore.

That reading is coherent and I find it convincing. But I want to draw attention to something in verse 25 that may point to an additional layer.

Daniel 9:25 is usually understood as a countdown from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of the Messiah. That interpretation fits the life of Jesus Christ very well.

However, the Hebrew wording of the verse may allow an additional layer of meaning. The word sometimes translated “again” comes from Strong’s H8147, which can also mean “second,” “double,” or “a second time.” In other places it clearly carries this idea of repetition (for example Book of Exodus 22:4, 22:7, 22:9 and 2 Kings 2:9).

The Hebrew literally reads “[There shall be] weeks seven and weeks sixty and two again” – but it could just as easily read “or twice, or double.”

If that nuance is intended here, the verse could be hinting at two rebuildings of Jerusalem rather than only one:

  • the rebuilding in the Persian period that preceded Christ’s first coming
  • a later rebuilding that might begin a second prophetic countdown

If such a second rebuilding exists in history, it would naturally mark the starting point for another seventy-week (490-year) calculation.

As it happens, there IS a remarkable candidate… It’s where a second Jubilee count calculation becomes very interesting.

The 60th Jubilee: Suleiman rebuilds Jerusalem

Let’s do the calculation. Starting from 1406 BC, counting forward in 49-year blocks to the 60th Jubilee:

1406 BC + (60 times 49 years) (minus 1 for there being no year zero in the calendar) counts forward to 1537 AD

So the 60th Jubilee from the Jordan crossing falls in approximately 1537 AD, possibly 1536 depending on where in the year the Jubilee boundary falls in September or October.

Now here’s what makes this significant: at almost exactly this time, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent — ruler of the Ottoman Empire — issued a command to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The rebuilding is commemorated in a physical inscription that still exists today, placing construction in the range of 1537–1541 AD. The command to rebuild appears to have been issued around 1535, with building beginning in 1537.

That is a very precise match. The 60th Jubilee from Israel’s Jordan crossing lands directly on a historically verified decree to rebuild Jerusalem — the exact thing Daniel 9:25 describes. I think it’s reasonable to take this as confirmation that the Jubilee framework is the right way to read Daniel’s prophecy, and that verse 25 does indeed contain a second calculation starting from this point.

(The relevant part of this video goes between the 2 1/2 minute mark to the 3 1/2 minute mark.)

Counting another 490 years

If the second calculation in Daniel 9:25 runs from the 1537 rebuilding, the next step is simple: add another seventy ‘weeks of years,’ (which is 70 times 7, or 490).

1537 AD + 490 years = 2027 AD, with the following Jubilee year arriving in 2028 AD.

Because I’m not sure of the implications of that, I’ve decided to leave further speculation on that date up in the air for now… I honestly don’t know exactly what happens in 2028. I’ll probably add more to this page in the future. In the mean time I’m just watching to see what develops next!
