Each generation believes they are witnessing the end times. Genocide has plagued humanity for centuries. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event widely viewed by genocide scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century. The 20th century toll included the death of 12,000,000 under Hitler, 7,000,000 under Stalin, 1,700,000 under PolPot .... See More. The difference now is that we can witness it on television.
As the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes reminds us:
What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.Even the thing of which we say, See, this is new! has already existed in the ages that preceded us.
There is no remembrance of past generations nor will future generations be remembered by those who come after them. ... Ecc 1:9-11
There’s way more Bible prophecy being fulfilled than that.
Israel has again become a nation. The political situation is aligning with what is required for the countries mentioned in end times prophecy to fulfill them.
The technology is in place to enforce, ruthlessly, a one world government using the mark of the beast.
The religions of the world, are moving towards a one world religion.
The prophecy of Daniel that in the end knowledge with greatly increase and men will run to and fro across the face of the earth is happening.
Evil is rising almost exponentially between the violence of islam and the moral collapse almost everywhere in the world. Scripture tells us that as in the days of Noah, it would be at the end. And in the days of Noah, “the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually”. We’ve surpassed Sodom and Gomorrah in depravity by all appearances.
It’s not just an isolated incident, here and there. It’s the culmination of MANY factors that are all necessary for that final judgment known as the Great Tribulation, to play out.
This world is ripe for God’s judgment and with the technology we have in place that enables us to almost completely destroy ourselves and have evil take control, against our will. You can continue to blow it off with that platitude, but do so at your own risk.
