2-27-21 Geometric Progression in Prophecy

Nearing Midnight: Geometric Progression in Prophecy - Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ Computer technology that took Neil Armstrong and crew to the moon and back, it is reported, involved less computing power than that of the first desktop sold commercially. This was a stunning revelation to me when I first heard it. When the moon mission was being planned, the technological wonders flashing upon some of the control monitors they showed us looked phenomenally complex. They were, in fact, phenomenally complex at that primitive moment in the progression of the space program. Now, I'm told, the average teenager holds in his or her hand a device that can perform functions exponentially beyond those available to the launch scientists of Apollo 11. The laptop I'm using to type this piece, I'm told, is as far advanced from the computer power available in the year my beloved wife and I were married-1969-as today's Air Force One 747 is from the model T. I'm not sure that's true. I'm such a back number when it comes to such technology that I'll just have to take the word of others who are savvy about such things. One thing is sure, though. I can see the developments literally exploding around me and know that everything, including technology, is expanding in unbridled, geometric progression. One recent report explains: The fastest internet speed in the world has been clocked at an incredible 178 terabits per second (Tb/s)-fast enough to download the entire Netflix library in under a second. Engineers in the UK and Japan have developed new ways to modulate light before it's beamed down optical fibers, allowing for much wider bandwidths than usual. That new top speed is an insane feat. It's 17,800 times faster than the current fastest internet connections available to consumers-10 Gb/s in parts of places like Japan, the US and New Zealand. Even NASA can't compete, with its 400 Gb/s ESnet. It also leaves other experimental devices in the dust, including a photonic chip developed in Australia that clocked a still-impressive 44 Tb/s just a few months ago, and beats the previous record holder-a Japanese team with 150 Tb/s-by almost 20 percent. "While current state-of-the-art cloud data-centre interconnections are capable of transporting up to 35 terabits a second, we are working with new technologies that utilize more efficiently the existing infrastructure, making better use of optical fiber bandwidth and enabling a world record transmission rate of 178 terabits a second," says Lidia Galdino, lead researcher on the study. (Michael Irving, "Internet Speed Record Shattered at 178 Terabits Per Second," New Atlas, raptureready.com, August 22, 2020) Precisely what this means, I haven't a clue, being that back number I mentioned. However, this advancement, as I understand it, is capable of squeezing far more information through the fiber-optic systems than possible before advent of the technology. It's not just a breakthrough, but a phenomenal game-changer in moving information, thus in all aspects of all other applications. It will allow technology to progress geometrically far beyond even what we have experienced to this point. The prophet Daniel almost certainly prophesied this development along with predicting the swift movement of things to come. 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. (Daniel 12:4) Most who observe Bible prophecy today-at least in the Pre-Trib view-are in agreement. This is the time of the end about which the angel spoke to Daniel. We are seeing an increase in knowledge within the physical and biological world-within the technological and societal spheres of human movement toward unknown destiny. That is, unknown to those who aren't spiritually attuned to God's prophetic truth. That's why it is vital for the nation's pastors-those who deliver God's whole Word-to include Bible prophecy in their study and delivery from the pulpits. There is a geometrical progression that will mark a certain generation. The angel of the Lord clearly foretold through Daniel that it will take place at the end time. We are at that profound moment, I and many others believe. It is incumbent upon pastors to teach prophetic truth. And it's incumbent upon Christians to read, heed, and believe just how near Christ's call to the Church is to this generation. And when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your head, for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28)

9-18-23 Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022

Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022 – By Hal Lindsey - https://harbingersdaily.com/rage-against-jesus-and-his-people-the-ominous-trend-of-2022/ By the end of 2022, eight billion people lived on the earth. They were besieged by a series of plagues, droughts, false prophets, war, the threat of greater war, hatred, rage, theft, and violence. The eight billion were fragmented in a variety of ways — according to their nations, level of income, race, gender, various understandings of gender and human sexuality, along with religion or the lack thereof. Change became overwhelming to most of the eight billion. For those over 40, it was almost unfathomable that by the end of 2022, not even half the students at Cambridge University identified as heterosexual. In 2022, deception ruled the day. Trust in government, educational institutions, and the news media had been largely obliterated. Trust in health officials and doctors had become severely damaged. In suc

9-18-23 Power of God’s Control

Power of God’s Control – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/12/25/power-of-gods-control/ Going back just a way in my personal history, I’ll divulge my one-time wanting more than anything to be a cape-wearing, soaring superhero. In that regard, there’s a photograph somewhere in the family archive of myself, Pappy, and David all wearing capes (towels). All three of us were about 6, I think—the age when I was saved in the Seventh Street Tabernacle Church on the corner of Seventh and Derby in Pekin, Illinois. Superman was the rage in the “funny books” (my sons mock me now for using that term for comic books). We studied the Man of Steel and wanted more than anything to fly and perform super feats of strength. Sometimes it got us in trouble –like when we jumped from places higher than were safe for mere mortals with towels affixed around necks. So Pappy, David, and I proved that human beings’ desire for supernatural powers must begin early in life. But what we

9-16-23 Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance
