Let us look at something real quick like. What weapons were around during the time of Christ? Spears, bows and arrows, slings and crude swords. Could anyone in that time use those weapons to completely destroy the world? Hardly. Therefore, to sit and say in a prophecy that unless Jesus Christ intervenes in the great tribulation by shortening the days, that all the flesh on the earth would be destroyed would be unimaginable to anyone from that time, correct? Of course it would just like saying that during the Revolutionary war of 1776 or the war between the states or even WWI in the 1930s. It was not until the end of WWII that the power to do that kind of damage was available to human beings. Yet what do we read in Matthew 24 and pay especially close attention to verse 22 there. There is a prophesy that, while it has not been completed yet, clearly could not have been something guessed at by anyone at that time except someone who was tapped into the Divine. When we look at the book of Revelation, John correctly establishes that a great power would exist in the north and he even references Gog and Magog. While I cannot remember which is which now one of those cities is the modern day Moscow and the other is Leningrad. Both belonging to the Russian Superpower. He also talks about the 2 million man army out of the East. How could he see China's population growing to the point where they would have a 2 million man army like they have today? I quite assure you that those prophesies have not been rewritten to account for today's technology. They are the same verses that were there almost 2000 years ago when they were originally written. Any atheist that can explain this one will be my god from this day forward.
