Daniel 12:4 (King James Version)
4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
The part of this scripture that grabs my attention is "knowledge shall be increased." WOW, my parents grew up and lived in a totally different kind of world than we do. Little of the industrial revolution had yet touched them. Look how different our world is from 100-1960. I don't even try to buy the latest computerized gadget, they will be dinosaurs tomorrow. Visited NASA last year and viewed the control room for first Apollo mission to the moon. The monitors were huge! And that wasn't even the room that housed the computer mother boards (sorry, I'm not a computer geek). Anyway, the computers took the whole basement of NASA. The narrator said that our cell phones hold more information than that entire basement of those computers. My point is, knowledge has greatly increased and is moving faster than ever. Also knowledge has increased through the internet, and it is not just for a few languages but every tongue. We have become a one world language. Thanks to google translator we can shift to any language we are reading in to another language. Mind boggling, but yet a sober reality. The coming of the unsealing of the book makes a lot of sense when this generation reads the Word. In my parents day, there focus was on a wrathful God, fire and brimstone. Today, the focus has switched to a more cynical approach of the Word. It is being falsely preached (especially in the media) that there is HEALTH, WEALTH AND PROSPERITY promised in God's Word. Also the focus is too much on Charismatic...notably false prophets and something weird called "slain in the spirit". What has this world come to? So much confusion and seems everyone is certain of their interpretation of the Word. Personally, I have no desire to focus on is there a rapture, a third or fourth coming of Christ. Speaking to just rapture theorist, the pre-trib, mid-trib and post-trib, REALLY can't anyone agree or is confusion the purpose of this rapture theory. I see all three positions as being legitimate and thus "no man shall know the hour or day" is even more confirmed through this Bible Scholars/Theologians teachings. Back to my point, one new world order, starting with communication, and the ability to "beam me up Scotty" travel is not that far fetched. After all, my parents never dreamed of communicating to anyone in the world at any time of the day and being able to see the person you are talking to. So what ever your mind can fathom of advanced technology, the truth is it has probably been around for 20 plus years before it is revealed to the general public. Get ready, more is coming. More weather phenomenon, more war, more famine (probably all linked to acts of God - ha Satan!) Anyway, the path is slippery but at the end the road leads to only two destinations and one eternal leader. Perhaps we really do know about the ONE WORLD ORDER - and it ain't nothing for us Christ-sons to fret over, but God says fear of the Lord is healthy. So fear not what the world is doing, but what is not in the world's control. Love the book of Daniel and Revelation, we get to know how the story ends.
