Comment: Diligent students of the Bible do know that the increase of knowledge in this atomic age is but a fulfillment of Bible prophecies. This is what the Almighty God inspired Daniel the Prophet to state concerning the time of the end of this evil world as in the text for today.
Within the last 100 years, there has been a remarkable increase of knowledge in every faculty of learning. The increase of knowledge in science and technology has resulted in many useful discoveries in this age. The means and methods of communication and transportation have been made easy and fast as against what obtained in past ages. These developments have advanced the cause of evangelism so that the truth is now spreading round the world. (Matthew 24:14) Because of these breakthroughs in secular learning, majority of men have drifted far from God and His righteousness, such that many are “lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…”. -2 Timothy 3:1-5.
This should not be the case with a true worshipper of God. True Christians should not be conformed to this world but are admonished to “prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”. – Romans 12:2.
