“But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”  Daniel 12:4

Clearly knowledge has increased since the invention of the printing press in 1440.  And there has been acceleration.  Social movements that toke a century to unfold with the printing press now take maybe a year thanks to the internet.  For over five hundred years the cost of books has dropped until today they’re almost free.  In 1844 the telegraph was invented, a very curious year from a bible standpoint.  The telephone and lightbulb came on in 1876, another curious year compared to prophecy.  1844 was about the peak of the Miller movement in America that expected the second coming of Christ.  They were wrong, but actually they were right about some things.  It was a cleansing and refining experience for the church.  In the late 1800s, radio was added.  All these inventions aided in the expansion of knowledge.  TV came on in the 1930s.  Then satellite technology came in in the 1960s.  Cell phones came in the 1980s.  And the internet became a public medium starting about 1994.  Its growth has been phenominal.  Only 16 millions users were counted in 1995.  By 2000, it was 300 million.  In 2005, a billion.  2010 saw 2 billion.  By 2020, it is projected that 5 billion will be on the internet.  By 2028, could all adults worldwide have internet access?  That’s another interesting year by prophecy.

The first modern settlement in Israel was the Petah Tikvah settlement in 1878.  One of the Rothschilds gave money to help Jews move back to Israel.  The story of Noah tells about water (truth symbolically) rising for 150 days.  Prophecy usually uses a day for a year.  2028 is 150 years after 1878.  Could the truth reach its maximum before the general resurrection in 2028?  What effect would this have on Satan?  (I’m not suggesting evil will be gone in 2028.)  This also coincides with the dating of the Pit in the Great Pyramid.  It’s also the point of the southern face of the granite leaf in the Antichamber.
