Singularity

The prophet Daniel wrote about a future time when knowledge would increase.

"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." - Daniel 12:4

This increase in knowledge will be a sign to all mankind that "the time of the end" is near. Right at the door.

Have you heard of the concept of singularity? Maybe the word is familiar to us and we think we know what it means. However, there is a NEW definition. This is from Wikipedia:

"The technological singularity - or simply the singularity - is a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization. According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I. J. Good's intelligence explosion model of 1965, an upgradable intelligent agent could eventually enter a positive feedback loop of successive self-improvement cycles; more intelligent generations would appear more and more rapidly, causing a rapid increase ("explosion") in intelligence which would culminate in a powerful superintelligence, far surpassing all human intelligence."

Did the movie Terminator come to mind as you read that? Wargames? The Matrix? It did for me.

What was that that Daniel wrote of? That "knowledge would increase" at the time of the end. Experts in the A.I. field are talking about it now. They are very hush hush about the singularity word when they speak but most agree that we are getting there quickly.

In a November 2024 article, Popular Mechanics estimated we are six years away from that happening. Then, on June 1st, just a few days ago, they revised their estimate. It is now six MONTHS. Six months before A.I. becomes unstoppable by man. That's a little freaky.

Let's go back to Daniel for some encouragement.

"At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." - Daniel 12:1

In other words, the children of God, everyone whose name has been written in The Book of Life, will be delivered. In my opinion, we will be 'delivered - removed from the earth - via The Rapture of The Church.

Kind of makes one wonder what it will be like. Are you excited? I am. Unless of course your name is NOT written in The Book. If that's you, you should be very afraid. But you're probably not reading this anyway.

Trust in the Lord today! Time may be very short. I don't want to be here when there is an unstoppable, god-like intelligence running around controlling things. I wouldn't think that you would either, but that's your call.
