SHOCKING TEACHINGS OF JESUS (Part 3)

It is factual that throughout the nearly 2000 years since Christ gave His prophecy, many have thought that their time was their time of the end. This of course turned out to be wrong. But interestingly, there are a number of prophecies in the Bible that could not be fulfilled until our modern era - until the 21st century, Most experts generally agree that of all the possible means of destroying humanity, nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat.

In the present Ukrainian-Russia war, Putin keeps threatening.

North Korea and its leader KIm Jong-Un continue to threaten America and the world with nuclear weapons, A report from the rogue state has said it is on high alert and ready to lash out at the slightest provocation. They say they are fully ready to contain the enemies and will take resolute steps the moment even a slight sign of preventive warfare is spotted; vowing to launch "merciless retaliation and unsparing punishment".

North Korea has accentuated the rising tension between global powers, There seems to be a nervousness among the nations. The nuclear club - that's nations that have the capability of producing and using nuclear weapons - that number of nations now totals 10. More than 50,000 nuclear weapons exist in the world., many in dangerously unstable places. No one can dismiss the idea that if a terrorist group can get their hands on a nuclear device, they will pursuit of their deadly aims.

The genie cannot be put back in the bottle. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, recently reset the Doomsday Clock even closer to midnight. Midnight represents the devastation and destruction of our planet. Now this is the closest it's been to midnight in more than 70 years!

What are the threats that have moved the Doomsday Clock closer to disaster?

It is also factual that more and more people are thinking more of nuclear war, which is devastating and then also global warming. Definitely, when you look at all the sickness in the world, things with children, children losing their lives and stuff like that. You look at all the wars taking place. It is definitely a sign of the times.

Hate is a very powerful emotion and can get out of control. And I think there is a lot of hate and intolerance right now that's being exploited.

It is also true that a lot of people get in wars for sure. We're killing ourselves and we're not even realizing it. With the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe. There's a lot of war and there's a lot of famine and there's a lot of earthquakes and floods.

Lawrence Krauss, co-chair of the International Crisis Group, states that "Many observers have wondered whether the events of the past weeks mean that we are even closer to the end of the age..."

Now some go even further, saying that nuclear annihilation is inevitable. The website of the former White House Press Secretary, journalist and political commentator Bill Moyers states the following: "Nuclear war is coming. Our officials are currently increasing the chances of that... I'm unable to avoid the difficult conclusion that nuclear war, absent an immediate, fundamental, worldwide change in attitude, is an inevitable part of our future. It could be weeks, months or years away. But it is coming. It could break out at any moment between India and Pakistan..." "War could almost as likely start between NATO and Russia. It might begin with an accident, a misinterpretation of computer blips, a terrorist attack, a careless or calculated overreach by a dictator or a troubled officer with access to sequestered codes. There are too many weapons of too many sizes connected by too many complex but imperfect electronic systems to too many fallible human beings..." "... all our incremental steps toward a semblance of world order will disappear in a few minutes of unimageable destruction..."

Do you think the time is running out! The challenges to our future seem unsurmountable. There are grand challenges in the world, around water, around food, around healthcare, and around space, around air, and all those kinds of things. Climate change - we are releasing too many pollutants into the atmosphere.

Robots, bombs, nukes, missiles, you name it. Armies, stuff like that.

Lack of love, lack of understanding... .

These issues and many more cause experts from many fields to share the concern that we could see the end of civilization. No wonder we live in an age of anxiety, especially in a world where so little seems certain anymore. (to be continued)
