Why ‘Doomsday’ may not be too farAgence France-Presse
Washington, January 11, 2012Global uncertainty on how to deal with the threats of nuclear weapons and climate change have forced the “Doomsday clock” one minute closer to midnight, leading international scientists said on Tuesday.“It is now five minutes to midnight,” said Allison Macfarlan, chair of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which created the Doomsday clock in 1947 as a barometer of how close the world is to an apocalyptic end…Increasing nuclear tensions, refusal to engage in global action on climate change, and a growing tendency to reject science when it comes to major world concerns were cited as key reasons for the latest tick on the clock.
While we are getting closer, the end is NOT yet (Matthew 24:1-8). We seem to be in the time warned of by Jesus as the beginning of sorrows.
Wars and rumors of wars are one of the sorrows that Jesus warned of. The world seems to think we are closer to war and there are now many rumors of war in the Middle East (such as involving Iran) and elsewhere.
If Iran does what it hints, a regional war involving Iran and Israel and possibly nuclear weapons could happen in the next year or so.
