Matthew 24:14 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.
With the introduction of the internet, social media, satellites, radio waves and television, the gospel has been made accessible in one form or another to the overwhelming majority of earth’s inhabitants. Therefore, according to the Bible, whenever all have heard the good news, salvation will come to a close, for each of us would have had sufficient knowledge to make an informed choice, for or against Christ.
It is therefore a sign of the countdown to eternity that the gospel has almost encircled the entire globe. The perilous times referenced in the Bible are not your everyday kind of peril; it is peril that would be arising on many different fronts, at the same time, thus forcing elected leaders and people alike to play peril whack-a-mole. This is what is currently taking place, for on the one hand, Covid keeps shaking down millions, while at the same time national debts keep spiraling out of control.
And to add to the toxic mix, there’s constant infighting, finger-pointing, and largescale corruption amongst elected officials. Some are dealing with Brexit, Covid, school closures lockdowns, high unemployment, botched vaccine rollouts, and long food lines that stretch for miles, all at the same time, whilst there is sabor-rattling in the middle east and fool-hardy intransigence across the political landscape.
2nd Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
