Bible Prophecy

KNOWLEDGE & TRAVEL

WILL INCREASE

At

 “THE TIME OF THE END”

 

“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)

 

 

This is an interesting Bible prophecy.  This prophecy (written around 2,500 years ago) warns that around “The time of the end” both travel (running to a fro) and knowledge would begin to increase at a rate unlike anything ever seen in the history of Mankind.

 

 

A remarkable Bible 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 travel (run to and fro)
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 to the exact day on which Messiah would be revealed, and on 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 (and us) two signs that would help Mankind identify “The time of the end.”

 

#1. Travel:

The ability to travel from one place to another would be unlike anything seen before in history, and the vast numbers of people traveling all over the globe would be unprecedented.

 

It is interesting to note from the time Daniel wrote this Bible Prophecy until just around the 20th century, the speed at which man could travel remained fairly constant and was limited to the speed of foot, horse, and sailboat.  Mankind then moved quickly from riding horseback to landing on the Moon in a very short period of time.

 

If you have any questions as to whether or not we are seeing the fulfillment of this prophecy, just look at the non-stop air traffic all around the globe (which fulfills both the travel and knowledge portions of this prophecy), and consider the vast number of commuters and travelers now using our freeways, roads, and highways on a daily basis.

 

What we are now seeing today has no equal in the annals of history.

 

#2. Knowledge:

Knowledge would increase at a rate unlike any other time in history.

 

Do an Internet search on how long it now takes the sum total of Man’s knowledge to double. It is interesting how many reports and articles report the sum total of Man’s knowledge is now doubling at a rate unlike anything ever seen in the history of Mankind.  Many colleges and universities have now been forced to use on-line digital textbooks which can be continually updated, because the rate of change has increased so rapidly that printed textbooks have a difficult time keeping current with all of the new technologies, products, and procedures being introduced into all fields, and not just limited to science, medicine, and industry.
