"We Live in Biblical Times"

Isn't this the most exciting "Bible Times" in the history of mankind?

We live in the "time of the end" that the prophet Daniel wrote of and desired to "see",
a time when "many would run to and fro"
and "knowledge would be increased"
and the "seals" of the great book, God's Word,
would be opened and "unveiled" by the Lamb of God (Rev. 6:1)
to "the wise".

To those who sincerely study His Word and hear His voice.

The words of the prophet were to be closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

The wise in "this time of the end", aka "the last days",
understand what was written concerning the events of this final generation.

Consider now the times!

Think about the incredible technological age of increased knowledge
and information and global communications in which we live!

Even the "scoffers" (2 Pet. 3:3) MUST admit there has NEVER been a time like this in the history of mankind!

You see, it is this generation that the majority of the prophecy in God's Word was written for and to,
the time when half the souls to ever "walk under the sun" are presently alive in the flesh
and will soon face the glistening one (Satan as Antichrist)
who as the great dragon drew one third of God's children (Rev. 12:4) away from the mercy seat of His truth
and justice in "the world that then was" (2 Pet. 3:6).

That "rebellion" to His ways caused our Father to pour out His wrath upon that world,
that first earth age, and "by His fierce anger" it did PERISH!

That's right, the Word of God declares that this beautiful earth
"became" utterly void and desolate, without form,
and water covered the now dark surface of the whole planet (Gen. 1:2)!

You can read all about that destruction in the 4th chapter of Jeremiah, verses 19-27,
and you can see the physical evidence of that destruction in the layers of the earth's crust
and in the fossil records contained therein.

The "time of the end" spoken of by Daniel has arrived,
the time Joel the prophet called "the last days",
the time when the "wise" sons and daughters,
God's servants and handmaidens would come to "see and understand"
the visions and the dreams of the prophets and begin to teach (prophesy) to their brothers and sisters, i.e.
they would teach the now "unsealed" visions of the prophets to their brothers and sisters.

Here are the words of Joel as quoted by the apostle Peter
on that first Pentecost Day following the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

All the events that shall happen in and unto this final generation were prophesied long, long ago,
even as Jesus said in Mark 13:23 "...behold, I have foretold you all things".

In fact, our heavenly Father made a covenant of immutable promises to our Father Abraham
and confirmed that covenant with Isaac and Jacob whose name He changed to Israel.

God promised Abraham that his children would become as numerous as the stars of the heaven
and the sand of the sea and in his seed
"shall all the nations of the earth be blessed"
because he had obeyed His voice (Genesis 22:18).
