Episode 5. God's Doomsday Clock

On January 26, 2017, six days after Donald Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists reset their symbolic “doomsday clock” to its closest time to midnight in 64 years. Lawrence Krauss, the bulletin's chair, told a news conference in Washington, “The Doomsday Clock is closer to midnight than it's ever been in the lifetime of almost everyone in this room.” Christians who believe that the Bible is God’s inspired Word don’t have to worry about the world ending due to catastrophic climate change, collapse of the world’s computer systems, or a nuclear holocaust.  These and other threats may very well wreck havoc on this world in the future, but according to the Bible, the world will end when Jesus Christ returns at the second coming. This episode of "Pictures of the End" investigates the Biblical evidence that God has hidden a “doomsday clock” in the very fabric of creation.  We are going to look at several prophecies and stories that act as “pictures of the end.” Understood together, they paint a very clear picture about how close the world really is to midnight and the end of human history.
