Dr. Setrag (Set) Khoshafian
In 2007, Dr. Set Khoshafian and other visionary collaborators pioneered the world’s first Armenian Christian Internet Radio station, Bashde. Since, it has been extended to Persian, Arabic, French, and Turkish radio stations.
Recently, he has been focusing on the difficult questions facing 21st-century Christianity and the world in general including Societal trends, Revivals, the Supernatural, real vs. pseudo-science, UFO/UAP Disclosures, Miracles, Revivals, Ancient Artifacts, Secret Societies, Supernatural, Transhumanism, the Antichrist, the Singularity, Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Automation, Quantum Mechanics, Digitization, Biotechnology, New Age trends, the Problem of Pain, One World Religion & Government – to name a few. All these and their intricate interrelationships are addressed in the 21st Century Burning Bushes book series (four volumes).
21st Century Burning Bushes Volume I: Spiritual Burning Bushes
This first volume lays the foundation through Spiritual Burning Bushes, with four interconnected divine manifestations that have shaped Christianity throughout history. Jesus Christ stands as the ultimate Burning Bush—the Word made flesh who bridges humanity and divinity, yet faces constant attacks from various movements seeking to discredit His true nature, from ancient Gnostic heresies to modern secular scholarship.
The Bible, God’s “breath” or rational communication to humanity, represents another profound Burning Bush that has miraculously survived millennia of persecution and criticism while transforming lives across cultures—from examples of alphabet’s divine creation for Scripture translation to its preservation through countless manuscripts despite attempts at corruption.
Revivals emerge as cyclical Burning Bushes throughout church history, beginning with Pentecost and continuing through movements like the Great Awakenings, Azusa Street Revival, and the Jesus Movement, each uniquely manifesting God’s power to awaken spiritually stagnant churches and transform societies through repentance and Holy Spirit outpouring.
Finally, Supernatural Manifestations—including miraculous healings, speaking in tongues, visions, and other spiritual gifts—represent ongoing Burning Bushes that demonstrate God’s active presence in the world, challenging cessationist theology while requiring discernment to distinguish genuine divine works from counterfeit manifestations, all pointing toward the ultimate reality of spiritual warfare and God’s kingdom advancing on earth.
21st Century Burning Bushes: Volume II Science and Technology
This second volume explores how modern scientific and technological advances serve as contemporary “burning bushes” – extraordinary manifestations that reveal God’s glory and call for our attention. The book argues that rather than contradicting faith, recent discoveries in physics, cosmology, biology, and DNA actually provide compelling evidence for intelligent design and a Creator, challenging the false dichotomy between science and faith that emerged since the Enlightenment.
The volume covers cutting-edge topics including Quantum Mechanics with its mysterious properties that reflect spiritual realities, artificial intelligence and digital transformation with their potential and dangers, and cryptocurrency as an alternative to corrupt centralized systems. It addresses significant concerns about transhumanism and “Humanity 2.0” technologies like CRISPR gene editing and brain-computer interfaces that echo humanity’s ancient temptation to “become like gods.” The work also examines various doomsday scenarios including nuclear weapons, drone warfare, and the potential technological singularity.
Volume II Science and Technology
21st Century Burning Bushes series is about the incredible, the unusual, the wonderful, the miraculous as well as the strange, the terrifying, the surprising, the horrific, and the signs that are all around us – all amazing Burning Bushes.
We have a choice – as non-Christians, Christians, or even congregations and churches. Will we turn aside and examine what these Burning Bushes mean? What are they saying, and how are they connected? Or will we retire in the comfort of the familiar – in our bubbles?These burning bushes have been around for centuries – even millennia. Nevertheless, in the 21st century, their brightness and frequency are increasing.
It is critical for us to be aware, prepared, and amazed. More importantly, we need to be operational: turn around and examine the implications and act accordingly. The Creator is speaking through these Burning Bushes. They all point to the nature and character of our Lord Jesus Christ. They are all pre-cursors to a final showdown. Each chapter of the book series (there will be four volumes, Lord willing) uncovers a Burning Bush and delves deep into its ramification and affinity with other Burning Bushes. Also, each chapter provides pragmatic recommendations for action
