This always makes me wonder, things that are sci fi today (or yesterday) end up becoming realilty. Which considering some of the sci fi out there at the moment is pretty scary. I dont know many bible verses to quote - still learning but I do seem to think that the people in the time of Jesus generally looked to the astrologers and soothsayers for advice and help about the future. I sometimes wonder if that is what drew people to him initially, thinking he was another soothsayer! They got a bit of a shock I bet.

However his words went home didnt they and in a way he did predict the future of the world in many of his speeches and in some of the visitations by angels in the old testement.

Perhaps knowledge comes by various means, and the choice is ours at the end of the day as to how far we allow things to develop or to change our lives for the better or the worse.

I do know that we need guidance in these matters!

I think this would be a good discussion.

I would like to see discussed:-
Are we in the Last days?
If so! prove to us from scripture we are and what to expect.

i.e :-.Signs and Wonders?
a) Outpouring of The Holy spirit? with miracles signs and wonders etc.,
b)Revival?
c) Other
Editing this to add
Sci-Fi Predictions

Gods Word says Daniel 12:4
"and knowledge will increase."
Read the chapter please.

Isaac Asimov, HG Wells and George Orwell inspired generations of inventors, and some of their fictional devices are eerily similar to real life innovations.
CCTV – as imagined by George Orwell in ‘1984’ (1949)
In one of the most famous dystopian imaginings, George Orwell plunged his character Winston into a world of paranoia and suspicion, watched over by the sinister Big Brother. First published back in 1949,
The Internet – as imagined by Mark Twain in ‘From the London Times of 1904’ (1898)


Thoughts on this as discussion would be interesting
