“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” Dan 12:4


1] Increase of Knowledge;
Rubbing his forehead in confusion, he asked the angel for an explanation. To his dismay, no luck! The angel basically told Daniel that he could never understand these prophecies because too much needed to happen first. This would include a great increase in mankind’s knowledge which would mark the time of the end, or end times. Only those living in the end times and who were wise would at last understand these prophecies and recognize that the exponential increase in knowledge heralded the soon return of the Messiah.

Today’s exponential increase in knowledge points to the fact that Jesus Christ is returning soon.

2] Increase of Travel;
Notice in that same prophecy the angel told Daniel that, besides a great increase in knowledge, “many shall run to and fro.” This tremendous increase in travel would also occur in the same context, that being the end times.
Since the early part of the twentieth century, mankind went on to invent airplanes and jets, and we’ve even left the Earth’s atmosphere in rockets and space shuttles. It used to take months for people to travel by boat overseas, but now we travel that same distance abroad in mere hours. In today’s world, people are always on the move, just as the angel prophesied to Daniel.

Today’s exponential increase in travel points to the fact that Jesus Christ is returning soon.

3] Global Ecommerce Network;
The third sign involves those technologies which will make the Mark of the Beast the terror of the world. The book of Revelation forewarns:
“He also forced everyone to receive a mark on his right hand or his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell except he had the mark.” Rev 13:16

What kinds of technologies would be required to control the world’s commerce?
The closest system we have today to the Mark of the Beast is China’s social credit score, which has already been instituted in their more populated cities. The Chinese government has positioned millions of cameras everywhere in order to spy on their citizens. Computer algorithms then rate the citizen’s allegiance to the government, granting benefits to those who are more loyal and restrictions on those the computer deems as not being patriotic enough.
Today’s global ecommerce network points to the fact that Jesus Christ is returning soon.

4] Communication Technology;
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matt 24:14

Today’s exponential curve in communications technology has played a vital role in reaching more of the world for Christ than has ever been reached in the previous nineteen centuries. Technologies such as cameras and microphones, televisions and tablets, smart phones and cell towers, communications networks and satellites, the Internet and the airwaves, big media, and social media they all work together to form the largest pulpit the world has ever known.
Today’s communications technologies point to the fact that Jesus is returning soon.

5] Weapons and Robotic Technology;
“And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak.” Rev 13:15
Revelation reveals that during the Tribulation the Antichrist will order his False Prophet to set up an image of himself in the newly built Jewish Temple and order the world to worship him as if he were God. This is the same scenario all over again when the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar set up a statue of himself and ordered everybody to worship it.

How will the False Prophet make fire fall down from the sky and consume people?
Assuming there’s nothing supernatural going on, let’s look at the technologies involved in producing pyrotechnics. Maybe John was referring to jets or drones dropping bombs and other incendiary weapons. And, satellite-based weapon systems, such as missile or laser systems, could simply zap people from high up in orbit.
Remember that the Antichrist must use technology because he is a counterfeit. His False Prophet will not be a real miracle maker, and so will use today’s military technology to destroy people with just the touch of a button.

Today’s weapons and robotic technologies point to the fact that Jesus Christ is returning soon.

6] Nuclear Technologies;
Both the Old and New Testaments describe the destruction of much of the world by a series of nuclear cataclysms.
“Then behold, at eventide, trouble! And before the morning, he is no more.” Isaiah 17:14
In context, Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesied the destruction of the oldest city on the planet, Damascus, by Israel suddenly and in just one night. How do you destroy an entire city in just one night? Israel will have to use a nuclear bomb.

Many of God’s judgments during the Tribulation sound like a first century man’s attempt to explain a nuclear holocaust. Many believe that the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II have been the only atomic weapons released, but no, in the last 70-plus years over 2,500 nuclear warheads have been set off in testing. Nine countries have stockpiled an estimated 15,000 nuclear weapons, with 1,800 always standing at alert and prepped for immediate launch
Today’s nuclear technologies point to the fact that Jesus Christ is returning soon.
