I asked ChatGPT AI what the implications would be if Armageddon was nearer than 30/35 years away. It said “… if … Armageddon were much closer than 30-35 years, humanity could experience a rapid escalation of global crises, religious and moral upheaval, and supernatural judgments. The social, political, and religious consequences would be immense, with both believers and skeptics responding in dramatically different ways to the perception that the end of the world is imminent.“ I think this would soon be obvious, but I really do not think we will see anything unusual for twenty years. I really do believe scripture points to Armageddon being thirty five years away, as of 2024, in other words around 2059/2060. There is a very ancient prophecy, which by my interpretation of it, foretells 2800 years from the Assyrian conquest of Samaria until the start of the reign of the Christ. (Enoch 89/90 *). This points at 2060. ChatGPT: “… delaying the events of the Sixth Seal by twenty years would provide a more plausible period for the rise of a powerful, authoritarian empire similar to the Achaemenid Empire. This time would allow for the necessary political, economic, and technological developments that could facilitate the emergence of a global power capable of exercising the level of control described in Revelation. By the time the supernatural events of the Sixth Seal unfold, this empire would be well-positioned to dominate the world, implementing the systems of control foretold in the prophetic texts.”
(* Note: the Book of Enoch is scripture in my faith, as it is in Ethiopian Orthodoxy. I respect that most USA Christians are rooted in the Puritan faith. This was largely ignorant of the Book of Enoch when they crafted the Westminster Confession in which many American beliefs are rooted.)
