We are well into the time described in Isaiah 60:1-2. Darkness is covering the earth, and deep darkness the people, but where is the glory that is to appear on God’s people? That may be the most important question we can ask at this time. 

         The Lord’s word is true, and we know this is coming. If we are walking in the Light we will be well prepared for it. Just as we don’t see the stars until the darkness comes, this present darkness now spreading over the earth is going...

         The world is being brought to the “Valley of Decision” where all will have to choose between the light and darkness, good and evil, truth and lies. We are in the times that will separate the wheat from the chaff, and the nations as sheep or goats.

         Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was an intellectual giant of his time. Considered the founder of psychoanalysis, his research and theories helped popularize the study of mental function and disorders, and began to lift them out of the medical dark ages.

         Over three thousand years ago, the Prophet Daniel predicted a time when there would be a great increase of knowledge and travel (see Daniel 12:4). It has been estimated that from the beginning of recorded history, it took the composite knowledge of mankind over five thousand years to double. Then it doubled again in about a century. The increase of knowledge continued to accelerate until now it is estimated that it is doubling at the astonishing rate of every two years. 

         As the speed of increasing knowledge accelerated, travel went from the speed of a...

         The last two centuries have witnessed an unprecedented increase of knowledge, and the rate of this increase is accelerating at an almost incomprehensible speed. Yet, the wisdom of mankind does not seem to have increased in critical matters such as education, resolving differences, or managing states and economies that are becoming increasingly complex. Though the increase of knowledge has been, for the most part, a great benefit to mankind, the failure to grow in corresponding wisdom has led to major human catastrophes and kept the world under the increasing threat of disaster.
