The problems that we face today are the ones that mankind has created. We are not experiencing “global warming” because of our influence on the natural world, the world is going through these “stages”, if you will, because God has said these things will happen at the end of the age. The problems that mankind has created are our own hubris and our own silly technological ideas that the future is going to be bound up in technology. God’s Word tells us that the “end times” will be populated by wonders and marvels. Those wonders and marvels were fantastic to the writers at the time but they are fairly normal to us today.

If you look at how far we have advanced in the last century it is truly astounding. Just consider the way we get around. In 1910 there were a few cars around but most of the world still got from one place to another on horses or by trains. There were a few telephones but most of our communication was by telegraph or by letters and the newspaper.

Pray for our nation and this world because we are truly coming to the end of the age. The news and all of the problems that we see on it are only going to get worse between now and the day the Church is taken up. I pray that you will seek the Lord as your Savior before that day comes because the problems that we have today will pale in comparison to what will happen during the Tribulation.
