It all sounds crazy when the average guy says the world is coming to an end... but when scientists say it can we doubt it? More and more scientists are saying that there is an increase in the frequency of major disasters all over the globe, and it leads one to think what is coming next?
The overall picture presented in recent years is that things are not getting better... but some are asking how much worse can it get. Some Bible scholars say they have seen this coming for years... only to be hushed by "greater minds". It does beg the question... If the Bible has been bang-on about the increase in global catastrophes, is it also right about "The Big One?" The following are some current reports...
"LONDON — A British government report says major disasters like the Japanese earthquake and tsunami or Pakistan's floods are likely to become more frequent and global governments must prepare for an uncertain future."
http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadia..."...scientists believe that recent natural disasters were not an aberration, but "the beginnings of a new kind of future in which mega-disasters are going to be more frequent."
http://www.stalbertgazette.com/article/G..."Earth might seem like a more active and dangerous place than ever, given the constant media reports of multiple natural disasters recently. But a broader view reveals that it's not Mother Nature who's changed, but we humans."
http://www.livescience.com/414-scientist......it appears that more of these types of mega-disasters can be prepared for, by relocating populated areas... but what about threats foreseen that don't originate on this planet? I am talking about the prophesies about a global collision with a meteor or rogue planet! Years back NASA started a study into this very thing, they in essence concluded that the chances were slim for such a hazard. The 2012 Mayan calendar may be off...
...but the BIBLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRONG.
"Today no known asteroid is on a collision course with the Earth, and the Spaceguard Survey does not expect to find any large asteroid that directly threatens us."
http://impact.arc.nasa.gov/intro.cfmAre we also to conclude that there is no real concern for such a threat... it seems that many other prophesies are being fulfilled as we live and breathe. A "cashless society" was unheard of just a few years ago; a one world government and global currency was also scoffed at until recently... I suppose that a one world dictator is also impossible...
yet the stages are being set for these very things. There is also a mention that in a single hour the entire world would know events... until the TV, that was just "silly talk!"
I guess the guy with the red sandwich-board yelling "The end is near!" ..was not far off! What is to be done then? Well for one, we need to consider what is causing these doomsday events... is it merely the shifting tectonic plates... the warming of the planet...
...or is it that we are inevitably responsible to the Creator that we have spurned? As one writer insists... "We have splashed His blood back in His face!" ...if that is true, all the preparations defending against Christ's Return will have little effect.
Until we see it on the NEWS or read about it in the TIMES... we won't believe it. The biggest tragedy that FIRST awaits the Planet Earth is not a natural disaster, but one very man made. The sorriest chapter in human existence is about to be written... with the blood of the Saints! What's coming next is going to be the worst persecution of God's people yet... and the Holocaust will pale in comparison... even so, return Lord Jesus.
Jesus said: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
Matthew 247-15
"...and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water..." Revelation 8:10
"...the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly." 2 Peter 3:7
