Welcome to Prophecy Updates #819 – Shut-up, Daniel, part of our ongoing series exploring current world trends aligning with Bible prophecy. In this episode, we dive deep into the Book of Daniel, specifically Daniel 12:4, where it says, “shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Join us as we unpack how today’s advancements in biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous communication, and the push to rebuild the Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount reflect biblical predictions for the end times.
This Bible study and sermon from a Calvary Chapel perspective examines how these prophetic signs are trending like never before. We explore two interpretations of “knowledge shall increase”: a growing understanding of God’s plan for Israel and the Church, as emphasized in dispensationalist teaching, and the explosion of technology, science, and global travel in the modern era. Artificial Intelligence stands out as a key focus, with experts like Elon Musk warning of its potential to surpass human intelligence and pose serious risks—could AI be setting the stage for end-times events?
For those seeking in-depth Bible prophecy insights, this video connects scripture to today’s headlines, highlighting the rapture, the Great Tribulation, and the distinct destinies of the Church and Israel. Jesus’ promise in Revelation 3:10 assures the Church escape from the coming hour of trial, while Israel’s salvation follows the Tribulation. The resurrection and rapture remain imminent—ready or not, Jesus is coming!
Perfect for Christians, Bible students, and prophecy enthusiasts, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how technology and world events align with God’s Word. Are you ready for the end times? Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up as we approach the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies.
