The real thing is it depends whether you look at statistics, or derive it from limited observation. If one bothered to look at real statistical data, a great deal of the world is not growing at its fastest proportional rate anymore. Think of how long it took for the world population to go from 4 billion to 5 billion, then from 5 billion to 6 billion, then 6 billion to 7 billion. It’s not too far-fetched to believe that the population globally may level off before or at about 9 billion, based on the curved pattern that the population growth has been taking.
Won’t happen.
Even Scripture talks of 1/3 being killed during the earlier part of the Great Tribulation IIRC.
And another 1/3 of what’s left killed off later.
And that’s still not down to the 200 million left goal of the globalists.
