On January 20, 2022; the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock dials to just 100 seconds to midnight; warning the world is at doom’s doorstep.
Established in 1947; the Clock has become a universally recognized indicator of the world’s vulnerability to catastrophe. While nuclear annihilation remains the most probable and acute existential threat, so are climate change, disruptive technologies and pandemics.
Ultimately, the interrelated nature of end time threats; moves DD Clock dials that issue global warnings; likewise biblical prophecy signs of the time, issue warnings that time is running out. Symbolically; it’s at the door some 100 seconds away.
Some 2000 years ago; as they sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked Jesus what shall be the signs; and when shall be the end of the world. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows”. And events in the world we live in confirm it.
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many”. Worldwide happening of such events, confirm its truth.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come”. (Matthew 24; verses 4 to 15).
The world is now witnessing fulfilment of Jesus prophecies; and soon He shall return as He promised some 2000 years ago.
So; the content from 2 prediction sources; offered 2 different warnings, describing 2 different scenarios. Yet; both left profound impact on our hearts and emotions; our minds, thoughts and current worldview.
The question is; how credible are our chosen sources of prophetic predictions?
As disciples of Jesus Christ; selecting our prophetic sources is crucial, due to its immediate, and long term impact on our temporary daily life; and eternal destiny.
Thus, we can confidently believe that the end of the world is near; and while we don’t know the day, or the hour; we know it’s at the door, which is very near.
