Weapons of Mass Destruction
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Joel 2:1-3  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Joel's God-inspired prophecy pictures the very same time of trouble prophesied by Christ (Matthew 24:21; Mark 13:19), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 30:7), and Daniel (Daniel 12:1). This prophecy refers to events soon to occur at the close of this age, for only in this age of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons has such widespread destruction and the extermination of human life been possible! Why Study the Bible in the Space Age?

2 Timothy 2:15-18  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Today, people are saying, not that the resurrection has occurred, but that Christ is not going to come soon, indeed not for a few hundred years. How bad will this world be in a few hundred years? Can humanity possibly survive that long at the rate things are going? Can the world survive, considering how angry the nations are and how competitive they are with one another? Can things possibly go on for that long, when the nations have weapons that can wipe mankind out completely? Man's history proves that, eventually, every weapon is used! When some madman sees particular advantage to himself or his country, he will use those weapons. Men will take those chances because human nature gambles, and the human nature in some people gambles recklessly with other people's lives. It is irresponsible to be telling church members we will have to wait a few hundred years for the return of Christ, but that idea is out there, floating among the churches. John W.
