I didnt really understand anything you said TestDummy. I really meant thoughts about the prophecies . About the technologies , yeah , tomorrow we might have something new , but the point is comparing now with just 100 years ago , to see the big difference , and you must keep in mind that 100 years is just 1 generation. Lets go back 500 years (just 5 generations) , yeah , thats arounndu when columbus discovered america , and the time of the Mayans and Aztecs. Now , consider when the scientists talk about the earth , always in billions and billions of years. Look at the difference in our advancements in just a miniscule 500 years.The Bible also mentions us destroying our world if the coming of the lord would not happen , now , look at our world , even with all the danger of nuclear war , we are actually in a war as I type this (well not really in war , but we just had one, and theres a possibility of having another one with Iran (from the speeches bush gave on iran not long ago). So , lets put this into perspective , with our current governments , our current weapons of mass destruction , our current mindset as nations , our current global climate crisis , our ever growing population and need for resources , do you really think we could last more than a couple hundred years if left on our own ? Let's also not forget in the last hundred years we have had TWO world wars. We could have another world war any minute , one which could have catastrophic consequenses. Do you really think our governments are capable of keeping peace forever ?

And thats the problem , it's not really the worlds people , civilians for the most part are decent people , but the world is not run by us , it's ran by governments , so when you anylize this , you have to think about it from the perspective of the ones ruling the world and their current mindset (dont have have every growing armies and every growing number of weapons and nuclear weapons and constantly looking for new and more poowerfull weapons and bombs). Does that sound like the world has peace in mind ? So just from looking at all this , it's not hard to come to the conclusion that if left alone , it is almost a sure thing we wouldnt last more than a couple hundred years before we all killed each other.
