Every generation wonders whether it might be standing at the edge of history. Most brush the thought away. But Randy Kay’s latest message forces a second look—not because of sensationalism, but because of the unusual way multiple timelines, biblical patterns, and even artificial intelligence seem to be pointing toward the same narrow window.
Kay is known for his 2005 near-death experience, where he says he died for 30 minutes, encountered Jesus, and was shown a five-stage sequence of the end times: the storm, an outpouring of God’s glory, the rapture, the tribulation, and the second coming leading into a new heaven and earth.
For 16 years, he says he couldn’t share any of it—until one moment on a rocky shore in Carlsbad, California, changed everything.
The Moment Everything Shifted
In 2021, during a rare Pacific storm, he says he heard a whisper: “It is time.” He took that moment as permission to speak, marking the beginning of “Stage One,” a global increase in dreams, visions, and supernatural encounters he links to Joel’s prophecy. His own database of near-death testimonies, he says, has shown a dramatic rise in people reporting urgent messages since that year.

When AI Entered the Conversation
The most surprising development came when he asked AI to analyze biblical prophecy frameworks alongside modern events. He fed it Daniel’s 70 weeks, the fig tree generation in Matthew 24, Israel’s 1948 rebirth, Jewish sabbatical cycles, and today’s geopolitical shifts.
The conclusion wasn’t a prediction—but a pattern: if the models are valid, the tribulation most plausibly falls between 2028 and 2032, with 2030 showing the most substantial alignment.
That startled Kay because of something he claims happened two years earlier. In 2022, he says the Lord told him he had “less than fourteen years” to complete his ministry—placing the end around 2036–2037. A seven-year tribulation beginning near 2030 would land exactly in that range. He doesn’t call this a confirmation, but he sees it as a striking convergence.
Technology That Looks Biblical
For centuries, Revelation 13 sounded impossible. Today, it reads more like a headline. Kay points to AI that can impersonate anyone, deepfakes that blur truth, biometric IDs, microchip implants, neural interfaces, programmable digital currencies, and global surveillance networks.
In his view, the infrastructure needed for the Antichrist system isn’t hypothetical anymore. It already exists—and it’s waiting for a leader powerful enough to use it.
A Window of Convergence
Put together, Kay sees a cluster of patterns all pointing toward a similar window: the fig tree generation ending around 2028–2030, the AI analysis pointing to 2030, the sabbatical cycles aligning with the 2030s, Daniel’s day-year calculations landing near 2031, and his own 2021 “It is time” moment marking the start of a global shift.
He isn’t setting dates and is careful to say so. His message is simpler: pay attention to the season.
Living in the First Stage
Kay believes we are already in the opening phase of the sequence he was shown in 2005. If that is true, the remaining stages could unfold more quickly than most expect.
Whether every calculation proves accurate or not, the wider point remains sobering: technology, geopolitics, and biblical patterns are converging in ways previous generations never saw. Kay’s conclusion is straightforward. The window, whatever size it is, is narrowing. And he believes now is the time to wake up, prepare, and live with urgency—because the storm, as he puts it, is already here.
