I'm Michael.
I'm glad you're here.

I did not set out to write this book. Battle of the Seed was not on my calendar, not in my plans, and frankly not on any reasonable list of another obligation that I should undertake. I have written it because I believe — with a sober conviction I cannot put down — that the Holy Spirit has charged me to sound an alarm.

Standing at the place where my two worlds meet, I see two lines converging with alarming clarity. The acceleration toward artificial superintelligence, the coming neural interface that will marry the human body to that network, and the emerging global system of identification and commerce are, in my reading of the Word, the very contours the prophets described. I have set that case out in full — Scripture alongside the news — in the essay Is AI the Mark of the Beast?

The pressure to accept that mark — clothed in the seductive language of enhancement, convenience, and necessity — will be enormous, and I fear most will surrender without ever understanding what they have given away.

And I write, finally, not in fear but in invitation. Before the world is forced to choose between the Seal of God and the counterfeit seal of the Beast, my prayer for every person who reads these pages is simple: that you would hear the Father’s call, receive the atoning work of Jesus Christ, and enter the Parousia — the communion, the intimacy, and the eternal life with the Creator who is calling His children home.
