Knowledge Increasing

God told us that one of the things that would make the last generation stand out would be they would increase in knowledge and travel back and forth. 

You can find this prophecy in Daniel 12:4.

"But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

Daniel's words didn't comment on whether this phenomenon was good or bad, only that it would be the state of things at the end time.

I imagine that when Daniel penned these words under the guidance of the Holy Spirit that he was simply astonished to see the advancement that mankind would make in some 2,500 or more years later. Imagine the prophet Daniel who used horses and mules for transportation seeing visions of cars, jet planes, and high speed trains. Not to mention helicopters, submarines, etc.

In the past one hundred or so years mankind has made tremendous gains in technological knowledge and advancement. It is commonly known that there are more scientists living today than the whole sum of scientists that have ever lived in the past. It is also estimated that about every two years that the total sum of man's knowledge is doubled.

It seems that knowledge is increasing, but is wisdom increasing alongside?

We can launch men and women into space, land on other planets in search of knowledge, only to deny the God who made the universe.

God knew that knowledge would increase, but it is not knowledge of Him that would be increasing.

2 Timothy 1-4

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

Only people who have placed their faith in the atoning sacrifice and completed work of the Lord Jesus Christ will see the Kingdom of Heaven. I encourage everyone to make their decision today for the Lord Jesus Christ. For tomorrow could be too late.
