Will History Repeat Itself?
As we enter the year 2000, millions
of people are making New Year's resolutions. Isn't it too bad that we can't simply
resolve our way to world peace? Nevertheless, when we pause to take inventory of
our lives with the onset of another year, will we collectively examine the carnage
we have brought on ourselves over the past century--the bloodiest in history--and
resolve to do better? Or will we watch history repeat itself?
Much has been written about 2000 and whether it will bring peace or destruction.
The Smithsonian (July 1999) reported on mankind's perception of the year 1000.
In those days some were prophesying cataclysms that would bring an end to civilization.
As we enter 2000, thinking on the subject hasn't changed much. A recent cover of
Newsweek (Nov. 1, 1999) trumpeted: "Prophecy: Millennial Visions, What
the Bible Says About the End of the World." The cover articles noted that visions
of the Apocalypse have fired the imagination of the Westerners for centuries. Forty
percent of American adults, reports Newsweek, believe the world will end in
an fiery holocaust reminiscent of the Armageddon of the book of Revelation.
Could those 40 percent be right? Does the Bible say that's how our world will end?
The Good News reveals the amazing and comforting truth of the matter.
