“Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

The Bible is pretty good about explaining life, BUT HOW DOES THIS ANCIENT DOCUMENT CONTINUE TO DEPICT LIFE AS IT IS TODAY SO ACCURATELY?\u00a0 Lots of people are definitely running (or flying) to and fro today.\u00a0 \u00a0It is expected that 9.8 BILLION passengers will fly this year by the end of December.\u00a0 As for cars, there are close to 291 million in the US and in the world there are 1.5 billion vehicles.\u00a0 Amtrak, this year, has carried 34.5 million people. That\u2019s a whole lot of moving around<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As for knowledge, that is increasing also. \u00a0 Prior to the year 1900 the amount of knowledge doubled approximately every 100 years. By the end of WWII, it was doubling every 25 years. But now it is estimated that human knowledge is doubling about every 13 months. We live in a time of information explosion. How are we to survive this onslaught? Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things will only increase these rates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, remember that knowledge is not TRUTH.\u00a0 Knowledge keeps changing\u2014 always has and always will.\u00a0 In my lifetime, a number of \u201csettled science\u201d issues have been debunked.\u00a0 Some of our learning is unlearning things that were previously considered true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solomon said that who increases knowledge increases sorrow.\u00a0 That is how I feel every time my computer gets an “upgrade.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scripture verse above was written in the 6th century, and recorded in the book of Daniel.\u00a0 Daniel was exiled to Babylon from Israel as a very young man (probably under age 20) in 605 B.C.E. He served first under the King Nebuchadnezzar, and continued serving in the Babylonian empire for 66 years. Eventually, King Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon and Daniel then,\u00a0 as a much older man, served under King Cyrus. \u00a0 So there was some mobility back then, but only on foot or horse or chariot. Obviously there were empires fighting each other and people moving around some, but nothing like today.\u00a0 Movement was slow. No running to and fro.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And yet it in Daniel 12:4, it says<\/strong><\/p>\n

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the TIME OF THE END.\u00a0 MANY SHALL RUN TO AND FRO, AND KNOWLEDGE SHALL INCREASE.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

How was this written so long ago? Who would know what the future held?<\/strong><\/p>\n

THINK ABOUT IT – This is recorded in the same Word of God that tells us that there is ABSOLUTE TRUTH that does not change.\u00a0 It also tells us that Jesus, the Son of God came to earth to save us from our sin, so that we should not perish but have eternal life.\u00a0 It tells us that Jesus is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.\u00a0 Jesus, who knows the end from the beginning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus also tells us that\u00a0 He will come back.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Revelation 1:7- Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye<\/span> will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. <\/strong><\/p>\n

EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even as close as 75 years ago, this would have not been possible.\u00a0 But now, we all have a phone in our hands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps we should trust this GOD, this Savior, born in Bethlehem.\u00a0 We should bow down this Christmas and every day to worship Him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Celebrate Christmas and worship the God who knows the end from the beginning….look forward and be ready to welcome Him when He comes again.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Who knows?….it could be soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
