Did you Know?

I have seen this before, but a friend just emailed it to me and, just like the first time, it took my breath away. See for yourself...

It ends with the unanswered question, "So what does it all mean?"

I think that it is important to remember that this change is nothing new, when looked at over the course of history. Change is happening at a faster pace, but empires have risen and fallen, technology has been developed, and races have out-IQed each other since Genesis 3!

Our reaction cannot be to look at this video and panic, but we must rejoice that with greater and faster communications links we can spread the Gospel more easily. It was due to Greece uniting all of Asia Minor that a common language was seen for the first time, which aided the spread of the Gospel, it was Rome outstripping Greece in the Empire stakes that Paul was able to travel so freely across Asia Minor and which eventually led to a common language in Europe and the spread of the Gospel there, it was the development of the printing press that meant that the Scriptures could be widely available in the vulgar tongue, the language of the common people and the Gospel advanced.

Many of the developments in the video are happening in countries where Christianity is not the dominant religion, such as China and India, but we can rejoice that God is Lord of all the earth and that he uses even those who are hostile to Him for His own glory.
