The Last Generation
Jerry Vines
Matthew 24:3-14
We are living at the end of one millennium. We are having an experience which few people in the history of the world have had. We are living at the close of one millennium and moving into a new millennium if Jesus tarries His coming. Always at the conclusion of one millennium and the beginning of another there is what is called Millennium Madness. There becomes this frenzy of activity as people begin to think in terms--is this going to be the end of the world? Of course, we are experiencing some of that now and will experience even more before the conclusion of this year. A lot of books have been and are being written about it. Probably many of you have read the books of Tim LaHay. I've know Dr. LaHay for a long time and he has written some books which have absolutely captured the interest of this nation. You can hardly get on an airplane or hardly go anywhere, or walk into a bookstore without seeing displayed the books of Tim LaHay that deal specifically with the end of the age.
There are some who are predicting that this is the last era-- that there will not be a 21st century. In 1988 a man wrote a book entitled, Eighty-eight Reasons Why Jesus is going to Return in 1988. It turns out he was wrong 88 times. In 1994 a man also predicted that Jesus Christ was going to return in 1994. That's been almost six years ago. Turns out he was wrong, also. But there are some things that have caused us to really wonder if indeed we are on the very precipice of the end of an age.
I would like to just point to you a prophecy in Daniel 12:4. I think this is one of the most exciting and interesting and enlightening prophecies in all of the Bible about the end time and the last days. God had revealed to Daniel many fascinating and interesting things about the last times. Then, the Lord said this to Daniel, ''But thou, o Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. ...
