Doomsday: Five Minutes to Midnight

What time is it? No, not what time of day, but what is the eternal time? When will it all end? When will life cease to exist as we know it? Well, atomic scientists place the time at five minutes to midnight! How fatal can thoughts be as a result of thoughts of the end!

In the June 1947 Issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists "The clock of Doom" First appeared. It was set at seven minutes to midnight just as a start. An editorial in the book said the clock “represents the state of mind of those whose closeness to the development of atomic energy does not permit them to forget ... the survival of civilization ... hangs in the balance.”  At times when the world was peaceful the clock was set back to sixteen minutes to midnight. At other times it was set at two minutes to midnight. Right now the clock is again at five minutes to midnight. With the aggression of Iran, North Korea and now Russia, the clock may spring forward again, ironic as that is!

We know of the Noahic Covenant which is "God promised to never destroy the earth again with water". Indeed water now is a symbol of salvation. However, we know that the earth will be destroyed! There are things which must happen first! Jesus must return for his people!


Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

Those who predict times for the end are false prophets. God alone knows the time when enough is enough. His grace has been rejected by just too many!  

How shall the heavens and earth pass away? What happens at "midnight"?

2 Peter 3:10 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
God promised not to destroy the world by water, but it will be destroyed by fire. Any astute person can see that the preceding verse describes nuclear destruction. "As a thief in the night" is when the clock jumps from five minutes to midnight to midnight. With that great explosion(s) the earth will seeth with atomic pain. A nuclear explosion can exceed 100,000,000°C (180 million degrees Fahrenheit )! That melts all known elements and that is truly fervent heat!  

The future of this world is grim indeed, but just as people live as if life never ends, people refuse to contemplate the fate of all mankind!  The end is near! How does one define "near"? On an eternal scale "near" is "now". It's this cross-section in time, a few years being negligible!


For me the best indicator of the end is two-fold: 1) When sin gets as prevalent as in the days of Noah (Luke 17:26 "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.") and 2) And when mankind believes they are as wise as God (Genesis 11:4 4 "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name...")


In the days of Noah most of mankind were unrepentant sinners with whom God had no influence. All manner of sins were prevalent: homosexuality, fornication, idolatry, murder, theft, etc. That's the condition of the world at "midnight".  The idolaters built a tower to reach the heavens such that by the stars they would know the things only God knows. The early philosophers and scientists sought divine knowledge. In doing so the tower was destroyed, the languages created, the people confused and the people scattered. Scientific knowledge and secular humanism is the modern age equivalent. When science claims to prove that God does not exist and the people accept their hypothesis, the clock will reach midnight!


It's five minutes to midnight by both the atomic scale and by God's prophecy! This is one place that science colludes with God, although they have no idea that they are in agreement! People are waiting until seconds before midnight to believe. They want to drink and eat cake all the way up until the nuclear chime!  As in the time of Noah, that's too late! Science cannot save! Science tampers with amateur theories on how God did it all, thinking in their false knowledge that the mystery of life is known.


Science are as the early philosophers. The worship of an "unknown God":

Acts 17:23 "For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you."
In Greek the "unknown God" was a God in addition to the twelve main Gods and all the minor ones. That name was "Agnostos Theos" with the same root word as modern "Agnostics". The "Unknown God" was not an actual God, but was a "placeholder" for whatever Gods existed, but had not yet been proclaimed. In ancient Athens there was a temple actually dedicated to the "Unknown God". Paul preached against such idolatry!

The elite have discovered that "Unknown God". The placeholder has been revealed! Augustus Caesar discovered the "Unknown God". He ascribed himself the position of God. Likewise, the "Unknown God" since has been and is "Self". Scientists worship "Self". Philosophers worship "Self". All those deceived into accepting the theories of science as fact bow down to the Unknown God. They place those who have false knowledge over the truth and knowledge of God!
1 Timothy 6:20 "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith."
Specifically said "science" is falsely called "science". It causes those to err in the faith; to apostasize! Believing in evolution is heretical. Calling the creation a myth is to deny the power of God! At one time communicants were dismissed from the church for accepting something other than the creation story. Now, Christians believing that lie is rampant, actually the norm! 

Yes, we are at five minutes to midnight. In previous days such as "The Great Awakening" God's Doomsday Clock fell back. Time was bought for mankind. That time was for more souls to be saved. Now, few are saved and now less people have a personal salvation experience than ever before. Our days are numbered. Jesus said "Surely I come quickly!" The time of salvation is now. If people wait it may be too late. The clock is almost there. Shall you be saved before it chimes?
