The Apocalypse

I watched a program the other day about how the book of Revelations may be predicting the apocalypse and that it may be happening right now. There is an increase of natural disasters, we now have weapons of unbelievable destruction, there are more uncurable diseases now and Famine is rife in the middle east. Now considering that the four horsemen are War, Disease and Pestelance, Hunger and Famine and lastly Death. (Even thought the bible only names Death)

Is it just that these things together represent the end of the world and that judgement day is imminent? Or is it just that these things have always been here and now that we have the technological ability to broadcast events happening almost instantly to the rest of the world, we are beginning to see the true power of our fragile world and the damage that we have caused. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a lot of death and suffering in the world and it's days like these that your own problems take a back seat and you truly appreciate what you have and that your life is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people in the world. (That may sound selfish, but it's something to be thankful for I think)

Anyway... remember this: "No event or occurance could never be that bad that it can't get worse". Always be prepared for things to come. It doesn't look too good from where I'm sitting!
