If mankind was improving and the world was getting better the Bible would be wrong! For centuries, starry eyed optimists have believed that Utopia could come through human endeavours alone but the Bible has always said that this will never happen.
It’s right to work for world peace but the Bible says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” [Psalm 33:12] If this principle is ignored by politicians or people there can never be peace.
The Bible says the world will get worse. It says that in the last days perilous times will come. [Do read 2 Timothy chapter 3] But all is not gloomy! Those who love Christ can look forward to His coming and the creation of a new perfect world.
