On this date in 2001, God signaled the beginning of a new phase in this rapidly fading age of man: the “last hour.”
A short time later, the world witnessed the 9/11 terrorist attacks. That led to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We have since seen war in Syria, Iran’s relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons, and the Oct. 7, 2023, assault on Israel. Russia pushed into Europe, seizing parts of Georgia and Ukraine while threatening to take more. We have also seen worrying signs of deeper instability: the global financial crisis, the European debt crisis, pandemic lockdowns and intensifying trade wars. Politically, the world shifted—with eight years of Barack Obama in America, the Arab Spring, the rise of China to global dominance, Brexit, the refugee crisis and the rise of Donald Trump. Meanwhile, astonishing and sometimes unsettling new technologies have transformed the way we live, work and even think.
Our world has shifted from the relative stability of the Cold War into an age of greater chaos, conflict and relentless crises too numerous to list.
