Friday, July 4 Many will rove about, and the true knowledge will become abundant.—Dan. 12:4. Bible prophecy pointed to the exact time—1914—when “the appointed times of the nations [would be] fulfilled” and Kingdom rule would begin in heaven. (Luke 21:24; Dan. 4:10-17) How should recognizing that Kingdom rule has begun and that we are living in “the time of the end” affect us? Many see the worsening world conditions yet fail to acknowledge that these developments fulfill Bible prophecy regarding the last days. They may expect this system to fall apart one day or may believe that somehow human efforts will achieve “peace and security.” (1 Thess. 5:3) But what about us? If we recognize that we are living deep in the last days of Satan’s world, should we not endeavor to use the remaining time to serve the God of “times and seasons” and help others come to know him? (Dan. 2:21; 2 Tim. 3:1) We ought to make wise decisions about how we use our time.—Eph. 5:15-17. w12 5/15 3:9, 11
