Is Technology Our Savior?

"One small step for man: one giant leap for mankind." Remember those incredible words? They were uttered by Neil Armstrong as stepped onto the surface of the moon forty years ago. It was an exciting time! The United States had won the "race to the moon!" Our generation had the feeling that mankind could do anything! And many believed technology would solve all our problems.

But deep into the biggest global financial crisis in modern history, we now also face overpopulation, starvation, disease and war. Our home, the earth, is deteriorating at an alarming rate and the most frightening threat of our time is nuclear annihilation. Our technology is killing us.

Is there a bright spot in this gloomy news? Yes. It was prophesied that people would be facing the worst of times with the capability to completely destroy ourselves from the face of the earth before Christ would return. Those conditions have now been met.

Speaking about these times Christ said, "…for then shall be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days should be shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened." (Matthew 24:21-22 MKJV)

Do you know who the elect are? They are those who have been faithful and obedient to God and will be the ones who help usher in a new era for mankind. If you want to be part of the solution, don't put your confidence in technology, put your confidence in God.

Our only hope rests in the hands of God and the return of Jesus Christ to this earth to save us from ourselves!
