>**The Doomsday Clock** is an internationally recognized design that conveys how close we are to destroying our civilization with dangerous technologies of our own making. First and foremost among these are nuclear weapons, but the dangers include climate-changing technologies, emerging biotechnologies, and cybertechnology that could inflict irrevocable harm, whether by intention, miscalculation, or by accident, to our way of life and to the planet.”—Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
In 2018, scientists plan to evaluate again how close we are to the end of the world as we know it.
Will the Doomsday Clock still signal an impending and unprecedented catastrophe?
What do you think?
Is the world out of control?
You might find the question somewhat difficult to answer
After all, even experts are divided on this subject. Not everyone believes in an inevitable doomsday.
But it would not hurt to be prepared if something was to happen.
IF YOU are apprehensive or scared outright by the barrage of bad news, you are not alone. In 2014 the president of the United States, suggested that because of all the bad things reported in the press, many conclude “that the world is spinning . fast and nobody is able to control it.
One expert in digital technology and innovation confidently predicted that by the year 2030, “our technology will be a thousand times more powerful and by 2045, it will be a million times more powerful.”
He added: “We’re doing pretty well. While the problems we face have never been greater, our capacity to meet challenges is outpacing them.
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. Despite their best efforts, the United Nations and other organizations have failed to bring about nuclear disarmament.
OUR HEALTH UNDER SIEGE. Science can take us only so far when it comes to good health. High blood pressure, obesity, air pollution, and drug abuse all risk factors for disease are increasing.
HUMAN ATTACKS ON NATURE. Factories continue to pollute earth’s atmosphere. Millions of people die every year from breathing contaminated air.
NATURE’S ATTACKS destruction. Storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, and earthquakes bring about devastating floods, crushing landslides, and other types of destruction.
So what are we to do? What are the answers?
The predictions of the Doomsday Clock will not be fulfilled, because God promises a bright future for mankind and the earth. Does that sound so far fetched or is it the truth?
What the Bible says should not be quickly dismissed in view of the fact that so much of what it foretells has actually been fulfilled in amazing detail
Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.”—Matthew 24:7
>In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.”—2 Timothy 3:1-4
According to the Bible, humans simply do not have the wisdom and power to bring about a permanent solution
- There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.”—Proverbs 14:12.
- “Man has dominated man to his harm.”—Ecclesiastes 8:9.
- “It does not belong to man . . . even to direct his step.”—Jeremiah 10:23
Left to its own devices, the world could very likely face a global catastrophe. But that is not going to happen!
Why?
- God “has established the earth on its foundations; it will not be moved from its place forever and ever.”—Psalm 104:5.
- “A generation is going, and a generation is coming, but the earth remains forever.”—Ecclesiastes 1:4.
- “The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.”—Psalm 37:29.
- “There will be an abundance of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains it will overflow.”—Psalm 72:16
These Bible teachings provide clear answers. Mankind will not die off from pollution, lack of food and water, or a global pandemic.
The world will not be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust.
Why not?
God is in control of our planet’s future. Granted, God has allowed humans to exercise free will. However, they will reap the consequences for their decisions.
God will do more then we know. He will bring about an “abundance of peace.” (Psalm 37:11)
This article examined some of the Bible teachings regarding the future of the earth and humankind.
Its best to live life free from worry and live with the hope that the future is bright no matter what happens.
We know god is in control.
So Stay positive and live ready but happy because life is good.
And we are all in it together let's make it an enjoyable journey.
