Coming soon: superfast internet

computerBut thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED. (Dan 12:4)

As a believer in future events and student of bible prophecy this latest advance in internet capability seems to apply to the above verse now more than ever. Believers in fulfilled eschatology who feel that everything in the bible was fulfilled before 70 A.D. I would ask how the increase of knowledge then is at all comparable to the increase in knowledge we see today? The current internet is capable of providing people around the globe with any sort of information at your fingertips 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Now we have what is the beginning of a new superfast internet.

Consider this quote from an article at www.timesonline.com:

“David Britton, professor of physics at Glasgow University and a leading figure in the grid project, believes grid technologies could “revolutionise” society. “With this kind of computing power, future generations will have the ability to collaborate and communicate in ways older people like me cannot even imagine,” he said.”

Communicate  in ways you can’t even imagine. It’s this networking that is binding together all of the nations of the Earth like never before. The idea of a global government is seemingly less and less far-fetched. Just one of many reasons to keep looking up.
