This is why Bible prophecy is an encompassing study of an infinite God and His mysterious ways.ĭaniel was told that knowledge would be increased at the time of the end. Almost everything that God plans to do in the future, He has done at various times in the past. Bible prophecy has much to say about the future, but there is very little in the future that has not been witnessed in times past. Bible prophecy not only reveals the foreknowledge of God, it also reveals the plans of God. Bible prophecy proves that God is deliberate and purposeful in everything He does. Bible prophecy has been unfolding for the past 6,000 years and it reveals the actions and plans of God as nothing else can. Bible prophecy encompasses the study of an infinite God and His mysterious ways. Many people think Bible prophecy is merely future telling. The Bible student must understand certain fundamental concepts before he can appreciate the larger issues presented in Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy is similar to mathematics. A student must have a working knowledge of basic arithmetic and algebra before he* can understand calculus. This progression in learning is necessary because knowledge in mathematics is additive in nature. For example, basic arithmetic is a prerequisite for Algebra I, and Algebra I is a prerequisite for Algebra II, and Algebra II is a prerequisite for Calculus and so on. School, by definition, is a series of progressive classes.
If this statement is true, this means there will be twice as much knowledge in five years! How can the doubling of knowledge continue at such a rapid pace, and furthermore, who can absorb all of the knowledge that is current? There is so much to learn and life is so short!
In fact, I have heard it said that the half-life of knowledge today is about five years. Then, the line would suddenly curve upwards because knowledge has dramatically increased during the past two hundred years. “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” (Daniel 12:4, KJV) If a chart were drawn showing the increase of knowledge on Earth during the past twenty-six centuries, the line would slowly rise until it reached the nineteenth century.
