The End Times

The end times will be signalled by a series of disasters and a web that spans the entire world.

We might just be in those end times when you consider all the disasters we are now able to see on television.

The world wide web (at times of our own choosing) and television (at times the broadcasters choose) enable us to see disasters across the world that at one time we could only read about in the newspapers.

I do not think the number of disasters is increasing by any means. It is our access to those disasters that gives us that impression. There have always been disasters, and there have always been criminals. People feel less safe nowadays because broadcasters choose to pick the most salacious stories and spread them widely. In the past a story that would have stopped in a local area is now told across the globe.

This is in fact the beginning of the end.
