Technology and the Bible Going Hand-In-Hand?

We've all seen it. Technology is moving faster than it has ever moved. Once we get the iphone 3G, it's already soon to be outdated and we have to upgrade to the 4G. (Now the 5G is coming.) The Myspace rage is a thing of the past. Facebook took it's place, then twitter arose, and some manage both at the same time and call it "Twitface". (Oh, and then if you still do myspace as well, you can say "MyTwitFace".) When just a few years ago we stared at the computer screen waiting on dial up internet, now we check emails from our phones. We can talk face-to-face with people from all over the globe using Skype. (A personal example is that my church a while back watched our pastor speak to us all the way from Israel on a Sunday morning by way of Skype on the big screen during the service...) We also now have talking cars, and Ford is working on cars that can tell the driver when his/her allergies may flare up. (Ha what?!) Just last century, a man who bought a new Ford vehicle when it was just invented thought he was awesome stuff driving up to pick up his lady going about 20 miles an hour. People freaked out when the concept of TV came out and little people seemed trapped in a box; now talk of holograms becoming more available is on the rise. ("Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi", sorry if that was nerdy. Had to do it.)

Amazing. Our world is now made up of wires, cameras, tracking devices, airplanes, cars that talk to you and tell you how healthy you are, and holograms when just a few years ago, the concept of a text message seemed unbelievable.... So what does it mean? That man is getting smarter? Well, yeah, but more importantly, in a world changing so fast and furiously, is an old book like the Bible able to be used beyond giving words of advice and leading us to God? For sure it is, and it even tells us this would all happen.

It states in Daniel 12:4 that in the last days "...Many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." We all can see that knowledge has increased, for sure. It's moving extremely fast. And are we traveling more? We can answer yes, for certain. Remember that old Ford car that I mentioned before? Now we have talking cars, we have airplanes, and there are astronauts that go into outer space.

We're in the last days, and it's obvious if we look around us and compare it to what was written in the Bible. About the return of Jesus---can we predict the hour? No, as it states that only God knows, yet we can look at clues that Jesus is close to returning. The Word of God is still relevant, and prophesies that were written way before our time are still mapping out today. For me, that makes my faith even more compelling to live out and believe. The Author of all is still at it, and we are Living the Unfinished Story.
