And Knowledge and Travel Shall Increase . . .

Another remarkable prophecy from the book of Daniel . . .

               "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book

                until the time of the end,

                many shall run to and fro [world travel will increase dramatically]

                and knowledge shall increase."

                (Daniel 12:4)

Daniel the prophet (book of Daniel) received some of the most sweeping prophecies found in the Bible.  Prophecies found in the book of Daniel take us from the days of the Babylonian captivity (which Daniel was part of) to the very end of this age . . .

It is fascinating to see how God told Daniel, after giving him some of the most remarkable prophecies found in the Bible, to "shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end" and then gives Daniel two signs that would help us identify "the time of the end . . . "

#1.  The ability to travel from one place to another would be unlike anything seen before in history.

      (It is interesting to note that from the time Daniel wrote this book until almost the 20th century, the

       speed that man could travel remained fairly constant ... limited to the speed of foot, horse, and boat.)

#2.  And knowledge would increase at a rate ... and to a point ... unlike any time in history.

       (It is interesting to note how many reports and articles now brag how the sum total of man's knowledge

        is now doubling at a rate unlike anything ever found in the history of mankind . . .

Have a hard time believing in God?  Just watch the news.  The above verses are clear ... 

Why?  God is warning us . . .

The Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world.  It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it.  Simply learn of Jesus, invite Him into your life as Lord, believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave (proving there is life in Heaven).  Learn of Him and believe in Him . . . for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross.  He suffered and died on the Cross to save you from the torments and darkness of Hell ...  if you will accept it.  That is why He is called Savior.  If you sincerely believe these things and ask Jesus to come into your life and honestly try to stop doing those things God says are wrong, you will go to Heaven.

It's God's Promise!!!

The only unpardonable sin is to reject God's love and His free offer of life in Heaven by rejecting Jesus Christ, who stepped forth from Heaven ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all of our sins.  The Bible also says there will be no peace in our lives until we make peace with God, through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.  The Bible also says there will be no peace on Earth until Jesus Christ returns . . .
