The Bible is about 30% prophecy. About 500 of those prophecies are yet-to-be fulfilled in the Last Days.

Consider the encouragement of the apostle Paul who said, “knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11).

Put that together with the headlines in the news and you’ve got the reasons why we take five minutes or so each week to discuss trends in the world that you’d expect from reading the Bible.

In His teaching about the future, Jesus said that the end times would be “as in the days of Noah.”

He said,

Mat 24:38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

The passage in the Book of Genesis that Jesus was referencing is the opening verses of chapter six. There was a very peculiar type of “marrying” going on. Fallen angels were marrying and mating with human females.

Their offspring were called Nephilim. They are described throughout the Old Testament as giants – twelve to sixteen feet tall.

These weren’t just taller men; they were genetically altered hybrids. Extra-biblical literature from the Old Testament era describes them as brutal cannibals.

Somehow the fallen angels, in mating with humans, were altering the DNA of the human race. Preserving human DNA was a major reason God brought the flood – saving 8 souls to repopulate the planet.

You’d therefore expect the End Times to feature genetic tampering.

Blood doping is the practice of boosting the number of red blood cells in the bloodstream in order to enhance athletic performance. It was outlawed for competitive athletes in 1986. But what if blood doping could no longer be detected?

An article on cnn.com was titled, The new frontier of doping will modify athletes’ DNA.

Excerpts:

Gene therapy [is] defined as the technique of using and manipulating genes in order to treat or prevent diseases…

The technology is used to treat patients with rare diseases by transferring missing genes into skeletal muscles… It is now at a point where potentially it could be used by athletes.
There are other ways genetics – and a deep knowledge of them – could help athletes improve their performance, by understanding their physiology.

For example, project GENESIS – focused on how applied genomics in elite sports can improve performance – and its offshoot, the RugbyGene Project, are trying to identify which genetic characteristics help athletes succeed.

Rather than banning the practice outright, many in both the scientific and the athletic communities are calling for oversight and regulation. They want to manipulate DNA to produce what they think is a better human.

Before the Flood, fallen angels were manipulating DNA at a cellular level. Jesus said it would characterize the End Times – and we see it happening just as predicted.

We are not looking for any particular sign, or prophecy to be fulfilled. Jesus promised He’d return to rapture His church – which entails the resurrection of the dead in Christ of the Church Age, then the translation from earth to Heaven of all living believers.
It is presented in the Bible as an imminent event.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
