"Doomsday: Ticking Closer Than Ever"

Last week we got our annual wake-up call: It seems Doomsday is rearing its ugly head again and the world has ticked the closest to global annihilation as it has ever been.

That's right gang. The Science and Security Board at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists released their yearly "Doomsday Clock" report -- and you guessed it -- the news ain't good.

According to the keepers of The Clock:

"Nuclear risks increased significantly last year due largely to Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine...we are living in a time of unprecedented danger."

And while you can't exactly hang the dreaded Doomsday Clock on your wall to keep track of the seconds, it is a rather timely reminder: The world as we know it won't last forever.

Jesus said:

"Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father" (MATTHEW 24:36,42).

He added that the timing of the end would be unexpected, "...at an hour that you do not think to be it" (MATTHEW 24:44).

Even though we can't know the day and hour, Jesus didn't leave us in the dark -- He provided a composite of signs, or groups of events that would identify the time leading up to the end of the world...as we know it...

...but not the end of the world...period.

The truth is Earth will still be here even after it ends (as we know it) and it will be filled with people, just as the Bible promises in Psalm 37:29:

"The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it."

Eventually, heaven and earth will merge and become one -- a new heaven and a new earth.

How? God will bring about the conditions described in the Book of Revelation -- just make sure you read all the way to the end.

A wise man once said: "By understanding what God says about the end of the world as we know it, there can be peace in our hearts." -- Billy Graham

"In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" (JOHN 16:33).

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind" (ISAIAH 65:17).

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things will be gone forever"  (REVELATION 21:4).

"Doomsday Clock Strikes Again!"

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists dragged out their metaphorical clock again this week--you know, the big ol' clock that measures how close we are to blowing ourselves to smithereens?

Yeah. That clock...the clock that reflects how vulnerable the world is to catastrophe from nuclear weapons, terrorists, new technologies, etc., with midnight symbolizing 'apocalypse'.

"Unless we change the way we think, humanity remains in serious danger," said Lawrence Krauss, top-dog among Atomic Scientist types.

California Gov. Jerry Brown joined former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz and former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry for a discussion at Stanford University after the unveiling of the clock.

Perry feared the threat of nuclear war with Russia "was greater today than during the Cold War." Shultz warned about relations between the U.S. and China and our need to "engage" Russia before things really deteriorate into something unstoppable.

And Jerry Brown (aka "Moonbeam")?

Climate change.

That's right, people. Jerry Brown, the genius behind California's bullet train, is staying awake nights worrying about the weather.

The decision to move the hands of the Doomsday Clock forward is made by the Bulletin's Science and Security Board, a group of physicists and scientists from around the globe, which includes more than a dozen Nobel laureates.

This year the infamous clock remained in place--at 3 minutes to midnight--practically a miracle when you consider the "grave threat" of climate change, and all.

A wise man once said: "We are asked to believe that humans are drastically changing the earth's climate  by burning fossil fuels. The problem with their theory is very simple: It is not true. Our climate is constantly changing for perfectly natural reasons that have nothing to do with carbon dioxide." -- Statement by a coalition of scientists which includes multiple experts formerly from the EPA, Environment Canada, and the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC).

"While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease." -- Genesis 8:22

"How Many Minutes Before Midnight?"

According to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and their famous Doomsday Clock--it is 5 minutes before midnight.

Headlines from 2014 seem to prove their point. Consider:

• US and Russian relations have cooled to the point of a new Cold War over Moscow's perceived role in Ukraine's separatist conflict. 
• The Islamic State (ISIL) terror group is still rampaging across the Mideast, kidnapping and torturing children. ISIL has now spilled into Lebanon, close to the Israeli border.
• The Ebola outbreak has spread to multiple West African countries, affecting tens of thousands. The possibility of it spreading further cannot be ruled out.
• Cyberwars are keeping the DHS up nights. Russia is the most likely suspect behind a destructive "Trojan Horse" malware program discovered in critical US software that makes what North Korea did to Sony look like child's play.

Not to mention: international unrest in various countries, the recent racial unrest right here at home, the massive security breach that is the US border, and the ever present threat of a nuclear Iran.

In 1948, the nation of Israel was born (again) and with it many Biblical prophecies were fulfilled, each graphic, literal, and exact.

In fact, the entire Scripture is woven through and through with provable, precise prophecy in regards to God's chosen people--the Jews. (For a detailed account of those prophecies, see archived posts from July 2011: Israel: The Key to Prophecy-Part 1 Part 2

The Scriptures seem to indicate the Jews will only be back in their Land for one generation (See Matthew 24) before the return of the Messiah.

Is it possible the Atomic Scientists are correct in setting The Clock @ 5 minutes before midnight - or are they  just alarmists? You do the math.

"So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be sober. Night is the time for sleep and the time when people get drunk. But let us who live in the light think clearly, protected by the body armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. For God decided to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out His anger on us. He died for us so that we can live with Him forever, whether we are dead or alive at the time of His return."  (1Thess. 5:6-10)

A wise man once said: "Paul warns us that God will hold all people accountable for their attitudes and actions. So don't procrastinate. God wants us to act immediately to receive His forgiveness and power to help us change."  -- David Stoop, author
