1 | Knowledge explosion | Dan 12:4 | doc g | 53409 | ||
Is this speaking about the knowledge explosion as we understand it today with knowledge about everything doubling every few years? | ||||||
2 | Knowledge explosion | Dan 12:4 | Timothy Paul | 53439 | ||
Dear Doc, consider the world of today, and as it was 100 years ago. 100 yrs ago, people depended on animals for transportation, as they did in biblical days. Now, look at the timespan between the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel, the stone age (Neolithic period), the Bronze age (3500-1000 B.C.) and the iron age (1000 B.C.). Now, look at the small distance between the transportation age and the computer age. There is no doubt in my mind that knowledge is increasing at a rapidly multiplying pace. Proverbs 2:6 tells us, "For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding." What this tells me is that the speed in which we gain knowledge is controlled and has always been fore-ordained by God. It is doubtless to many that the prophesied end times have already begun, but our knowledge is sadly lacking as to how long they will last. Praise Him. Tim |

3 | Knowledge explosion | Dan 12:4 | doc g | 53447 | ||
Thanks for your thoughts Tim. I was hoping for some exegetical insight into the verse. Is there anything deeper available to us from the orginal languages, the theological framework for the Book of Daniel, or the historical setting that could shed light on the passage? Thanks, Doc g |
