The fact that you are reading this is actually proof that the Bible is authentic.
Wait. Do the internet and blockchain technology have anything to do with the Bible? If you believe in God, there are so many things that can prove that the Bible is authentic. In our previous discussions, we have discussed sensible pieces of advice from the Bible, like the importance of breastfeeding and staying happy for good health. We have also discussed the astonishing fact that God knows our composition and even our fingerprints!
Today, let’s discuss a few things with regard to modern technology and how a Biblical prophecy is coming true. There are deeper and more insightful lessons we can learn from Biblical prophecies but let’s leave those to qualified preachers. Let’s just talk about the basics and the obvious:
Allusion to Public Transport
The Bible strongly suggests that in the Last Days, transportation systems will be faster and more efficient in many places. The Book of Daniel was written at around 605 to 536 B.C:
Daniel 12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall RUN TO AND FRO, and knowledge shall be increased.
Some people might misinterpret this and simply say that people would “run to and fro” over short distances, but the English words used by translators don’t convey the full meaning properly. The Hebrew word used in the verse for “run to and fro”, according to Strong’s Concordance H7751, is “shuwt,”. This specifically refers to transportation covering very long distances, whenever it is used in the Bible (Other examples include Chronicles 16:9; Job 1:7; 2 and Amos 8:12;). So, the Bible implies that mass transportation will be available. Thinking about how much people must learn in order to invent things like airplanes, this prophecy is further confirmed. “Knowledge shall be increased” is actually happening nowadays. People seem hungry for knowledge. Mind you, we’re only striking the surface. - But we are all living proofs that the Bible is authentic.
Mass Media and International Communication
For those who are not yet convinced that the Bible has prophesied mass media communication, please take a look at this:
Malachi 1:11
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in EVERY PLACE incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for My name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
Matthew 24:14
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.
Malachi 1:11, is a really important pronouncement and is now possible due to mass media. I have seen it with my own eyes! Only satellite and internet media would be the possible means to realize such a prophecy – that God’s name would be known among the Gentiles (outside Israel). Christians around the planet can now come together and sing praises from any part of the globe through web conferencing. Billions more are starting to hear about Jesus Christ and his doctrines in the Bible.
The related prophecy in Matthew 24:14, declared by Jesus Himself, predicts the invention of technology which would make worldwide preaching possible if the church is going to do it. This prophecy is so far, partly fulfilled but you can see its progress and we are hopeful for its continuation until other prophecies happen. I hope what I shared today will help strengthen our faith in God and in his words in the Bible as I have heard them directly from my trusted leader, Bro. Eli.
It's amazing to see all of these things happen right in front of me and think that it's really planned and written thousands of years ago. I participate weekly in our international thanksgiving where hundreds or locales around the world are seen on the screen and if ever we a question about faith, we can even connect with Bro. Eli from anywhere there is internet or phone line. He happily answers all brethren’ questions straight from the Bible. This one-of-a-kind international thanksgiving is among the happiest moments in my life where I hear these words of wisdom and I have the opportunity to give thanks and sing praises to the Lord.
