In 1860, the French chemist, Marcel lin Berthelot, said, “Within a hundred years of physical and chemical science, men will know what the atom is. It is my belief when science reaches this stage, God will come down to earth with His big ring of keys and will say to humanity, ‘Gentlemen, it is closing time.'” It is fascinating to note that Berthelot is spot on about the scientific progress, and even the call of God to mankind, that is, the “Closing Time.”
When we look around, every piece is falling in place, and we are fast moving towards…
1- Total chaos in the world…wars, famines and sicknesses.
2- Total surveillance of everyone.
3- Total control of everyone and everything.
4- Falling away of saints from the sound doctrine.
The above four are the precursors of the one world dictatorial rule of the Anti-Christ, and his total control of everything and everyone. The question, “Who is Anti-Christ?” is well answered in the Bible – “Second Thessalonians 2:3–4 speaks of a coming “man of lawlessness” who will set himself up in God’s temple and proclaim himself to be God. Revelation 13 tells of a coming “beast” who will wear out the saints of God and be known by the number 666. The epistles of John warns of “antichrist.” [Ligonier Ministries]
We are very close to the Bridegroom’s arrival, and may the LORD help us to be like the wise and alert Virgins [Matthew 25:1-13] May the words of the LORD Jesus keep reminding us our responsibility, “13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” – Matthew 25:13. Even so the LORD help us.
"The Bible tells us that the state of the world will grow darker as we near the end of the age."
