I am writing this post on a supposedly ominous date – December 21, 2009 exactly three years before the “doomsday” – December 21, 2012 – predicted by many as the day of the end of the world. So, is 2012 really the end of the world? What does Bible prophecy have to say about it?
The world has enough food for everybody. In spite of this, 1.02 billion people are undernourished and fighting hunger. Though there is food in abundance, everybody does not have equal access to it. So it is an ironic situation today: there is famine in the midst of plenty.
Although increase in war and consequent casualties is a well known fact, let us examine it in greater detail. Look closely at Jesus’ words – you will HEAR of wars and rumors of wars. With the advent of cutting edge technology in the field of communication, it is no longer surprising to us, when we HEAR about conflicts in various parts of the world. News and information travel fast and reach right into our homes for us to see and hear at leisure. However, information does not necessarily mean truth. There is a lot of deception and lies hidden behind the information we receive.
