Even though many Christians speculate the end is near, I don't think we're in the last days.
Many people think this world is getting worse and worse, but I disagree and think it is better than ever!
Reasons:
1. The world is not as violent as it used to be. Many countries used to have public executions as part of their entertainment. London, Paris, Rome had numerous killings of people in public for children to see. Even Saddam Hussein, considered one of the worst offenders of modern day, was not even publicly executed, but in private.
2. People are healthier and living longer. Cigarette ads are banned from TV now and banned from indoors in the U.S. Remember when they allowed smoking on airplanes? Society is improving.
3. Internet and Mobile Communications - we are able to communicate more often and more efficiently than ever. While you can find some bad that can come from it, there's even more good. People are strengthening their relationships and reconnecting past and forgotten relationships, such as through Facebook.
4. Crime rates are lower. Cars are safer than ever. Fewer gangs. Gun control. Many statistics show great improvement.
5. Slavery is diminished. Can you think of a single country that supports slavery? It was rampant in the Bible days and the U.S. had a civil war over it, but people are now much more at piece and more united than ever. The U.S. even has a half black president and women have equal rights, including to run for U.S. president. There is no chance that would have happened 100 years ago. What progress!
I could go on. The world is better than ever. We should live like it is.
