Michael
is the angelic protector of Israel. (Dan. 10:13) That he
is associated with Israel is further demonstrated in
(Rev. 12:7) where Michael and his angels are at war with
the dragon and his angels. The issue at stake is the
woman, which is Israel.
The book is
undoubtedly the same as (Ex. 32:32,33; Eze. 13:9; Lk.
10:20). Not the Church Age - (Rev 17:8; 13:8).
This time
period will be worse than any time this planet has
seen!!
International
tourism is a huge business - it involves 200 million
people traveling outside their own countries every year
throughout the world. This mass of tourists, nearly equal
to the population of the entire United States, spends $24
billion a year abroad, not including air
fares.
Tourism is
among the top three industries in 46 states, and is
number one in Florida, Nevada, and Hawaii. It's the
second leading industry in the U.S. Only grocery sales
pump more money into the economy. The tourist industry
employs four million Americans and grosses more than $61
billion a year. That figure is expected to rise to $127
billion by 1985, according to the National Tourism
Resources Review Committee.
It is a
real. able fact that Sir Issac Newton, writing on the
prophecy of (Dan. 12:4) said that if they were true, it
would be' necessary that a new mode of traveling should
be invented, for knowledge would be so increased that man
would be able to travel at the rate of fifty miles an
hour.
Voltaire,
true to the spirit of skepticism, said: "Now look at the
mighty mind of Newton, who discovered gravitation; when
he began to study the Book called the Bible, it seems in
order to credit its fabulous nonsense, he believed that
the knowledge of mankind will be so increased that we
shall be able to travel fifty miles an hour! The poor
dotard!" Today even a skeptic would have to say, "Newton
was a wise philosopher; Voltaire a poor old
dotard.,"
Studies have
shown that the halfway point of all human knowledge is
located less than ten years ago; that is man's knowledge
has doubled within the past decade. Every 60 seconds,
2000 typewritten pages are added to man's knowledge and
the material produced every 24 hours takes one person 5
years to read.
More than
80% of all the scientists who have ever lived are alive
today. An estimated 70% of the medicines in use today
were developed after World War II. Over 15,000 scientific
journals are being published, many with worldwide
circulations. It is possible to press a few buttons on a
computer, and in half an hour, supplement an engineer's
life work produced before 1955.
One recent
development is a memory that can operate so fast that it
can assimilate into permanent storage 5 million words per
second. Since the Bible has 850,000 words, this memory is
capable of assimilating the entire Bible 6 times in one
second and bring it again, word by word, any passage any
verse, any place, at a command, in 200-billionth of a
second. No errors are allowed. Running at that rate, each
unit has to pass a test in which it runs 24 hours without
a single error.
