Everybody wants to know what the future will look like and with all of the myriads of ways we can connect with each other, we certainly are not shy about telling others what we personally think the future will bring. Depending on the school of thought that you come from, looking ahead one hundred years or so might be exciting or devastating.
Will the human race screw up planet earth so badly that it won’t be inhabitable? Are we causing global warming - or cooling - that will destroy life? Will we ruin things with careless handling of biological diseases, will robots rise up or will it be zombies or will we just nuke the planet into oblivion? If the world doesn’t end in the next hundred years by human cause, then what about super volcanoes or asteroids or even gamma rays from the sun?
You get the point - the future can be a scary mystery and your school of thought will dictate that. If the world doesn’t end, then what kind of place will it be? Will technology rule? Will humanity get along? Will today’s world powers be tomorrow’s world powers?
So many questions and so little time! The Bible actually has a lot to say about the future of both humanity and of planet earth. This is a book filled with prophecies of the future - the challenge is interpreting and understanding them in the way they were meant to be understood.
In our March 6, 2016 broadcast titled “What will the World Look Like in the 22nd Century?” we put many Bible prophecies together to establish a timeline of events from our present industrialized era and into the future. What we found was this: God actually does have a pre-determined plan for the future of humanity and of earth and that plan has been operating in stages. The present stages (several of these overlap) that we are in are the Christian-spiritual-judgment stage, the pre-really-big-trouble stage and the return-of-favor-to-Israel stage. These are all transition times; the world is dramatically changing on several levels as we speak and God really does have it in hand.
What is to come? Lots of really good things! We could tell you here, but you owe it to yourself to check out the broadcast and see for yourself.
