I received an Email today from a site I subscribe to. The guy was talking about prophecy and about the things he knew as a twelve-year-old child now becoming a reality some fifty years later. He was talking about the demise of America and Great Britain (Great? Mmmm..I wonder.) at this present time. Two great nations suffering in a financial slump. Not only they but the European Community too. These and many more things are actually in prophecy. The Bible warns us both in the Old and New Testaments about the things we see happening in our generation. The Bible calls it ‘The end times’. Now I am not saying that ‘The end times’ are nigh but it is a sobering thought that it is a possibility. The Bible speaks of wars in diverse places, earthquakes and other things that happen with greater frequency. Do we not see these things happening even now? If it were the end times now then the signs we see are but just the beginning. What follows is prophesied as being far more catastrophic, especially for the unbeliever, the cynic. It isn’t a funny thing really if it is indeed true and although the end times might be just a little further away than we think, they nevertheless will happen and our children might be the ones who suffer.
For those who think this is foolishness I will simply say that many prophecies in the Bible have already come to pass.
An added thought spoken by that guy I mentioned was that in today’s world we have great knowledge at our fingertips and can know about anything that happens around the globe almost in an instant but we can fail to see the significance of some of the signs the Bible describes in the leading up to the end time. The Bible also speaks about people dashing here and there acquiring great knowledge. Something to think about.
