Increasing Knowledge
But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
- Daniel 12:4
In the past sixty years more inventions, discoveries, and medical breakthroughs have occurred than in the entire history of the world. Every three years our knowledge doubles! The astounding magnitude of new knowledge is just one of the many signs that identify our generation as the end-time generation.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, no one imagined a man would ever fly. In 1950, space travel only occurred in science fiction movies. In 1960, tape recorders were still bulky machines with seven-inch reels, and no one had ever heard the phrase "compact disc." In 1970, computers took up entire rooms. The information super-highway was only an idea in 1980. But today the world is linked via satellite, computer modem, and cellular telephone.
As technology keeps advancing our world is getting smaller. We are now able to reach people like never before.
The gospel is being proclaimed through technology our ancestors never envisioned. Jesus promised, "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" (Matthew 24:14). We are living in the final hour!
Jesus, use me as an instrument in proclaiming the gospel to the ends of the earth. Use my giving, my service, and my life to witness to everyone I meet about Your wonderful salvation. Let me be unashamed to proclaim your good news to all that will hear. Amen.
