Biblical descriptions leading up to Christ’s return match our time in breathtaking detail! Our generation really is unique in human history. And I can prove it with a single word — technology. The sum of human knowledge once took millennia to double, then centuries. By 1945, it was increasing at a rate that doubled every 25 years. Human knowledge is now commonly believed to double every 12 hours. None of us can know the accuracy of that number, but we
In 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, an African-American seamstress named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a municipal bus to a white man. Her arrest jump-started the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the initial efforts in the subsequent Civil Rights Movement. Though she was active in local civil rights efforts before taking her stand for her own rights, she was a relative unknown who changed the course of American history. Todd Beamer was an account manager on a
You’ve heard me say before that I think the “mark of the beast” described in Revelation 13 may well be a microchip implanted in the hand or the forehead. The chip could easily contain a numeric prefix issued by the Antichrist’s government to all who comply. The presence of that number would confirm the chip bearer’s acceptable status with the government. In describing this mark, Revelation 13:17 mentions that only those who have the government’s approved “mark” would be able
President Donald Trump infuriated the Left and irritated some of our western allies. What did he do that was so terrible? He told the truth. He announced to the world that Iran is not adhering to its part of the bargain in the so-called “Iran nuclear deal.” So he said that he will no longer “certify” to the U.S. Congress that Iran is complying with the deal. He’s only saying something the West has known since the day the agreement
Can you imagine a world in which you would never lose your car keys or wallet? Or have them stolen? Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to stand in line at the grocery store? Or the airline ticket counter? Or TSA? Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to worry about having your identity stolen when shopping online? Or your credit cards accessed by hackers? Can you imagine a world in
Mr. Obama told the President-elect that his most pressing foreign policy problem would be North Korea. Unfortunately for President Trump, if that is true, it’s true because U.S. Presidents have been kicking this can down the road for decades. Every President in recent years has chosen to simply contain the North Korean regime and placate it by sending humanitarian assistance in return for empty promises to make nice. In the meantime, we’ve allowed North Korea (NK) to develop an extensive
It seems people…are losing their minds. Not completely, but incrementally. The human race as a whole is becoming less thoughtful, less intelligent, less discerning, and less reflective. We are gorging ourselves on a diet of “thought-candy”, not meat. Meat requires chewing and chewing means work. Thought-candy is sweet and melts in your mind. It includes things like celebrity news, trite, thoughtless memes, and ready-made, predigested political ideas we already know and agree with. Those things are not bad in themselves,
The 2016 World Economic Forum, held annually in Davos Switzerland, ended last week. It displayed a bizarre blend of panic and political correctness. Each year, the WEF brings together more than 2,500 of the world’s elite, including many heads of state. They discuss pressing issues facing the world. These are the movers and shakers of business, government, and academia whose actions often have great impact on world events. This year’s discussions were chock full of political correctness, but there was
