THE PROPHET’S SIGNS OF THE END TIMES (1)
“THE LAST HOUR WILL NOT COME BEFORE TIME CONTRACTS, A YEAR BEING LIKE A MONTH, A MONTH LIKE A WEEK, A WEEK LIKE A DAY, A DAY LIKE AN HOUR, AND AN HOUR LIKE THE KINDLING OF A FIRE”
THE PROPHET
Had the prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) lived after Nostradamus; the enemies of Islam would have accused him of plagiarizing the prophecies of the French seer. He had a very similar prophecy in reference to our changing conception of time as a sign of the approaching END TIMES.
The scourges passed and the world shrinks,
There will be peace for a long time and lands will decrease in population.
One will travel safely by air, land and through sea and waves,
But then war will be stirred up again!
Nostradamus (I, 63)
In the time of the prophet, they thought of months and years if they were to travel to another country. They planned in days or weeks if they were to visit relatives in another province. They measure the distance to another village by the number of mountains, wadis, hills and valleys they have to cross.
In the time of the prophet; they measured the time by sunrise and sunsets unlike today where we measure the time on a trip to a village by minutes, hours or half hours.
With our technologies marching on by leaps and bounds; the above prophecy is fulfilled.
“…and an hour is like the kindling of a fire”
The kindling of a fire seems like ages compared to E-Mail, phone and Internet access anywhere in the world. It doesn’t take a second to punch that “enter” key to send a message simultaneously to hundreds, maybe thousands of recipients around the planet at the blink of an eye; not the time it takes you to kindle a fire.

ReplyDeleteNow it is not unusual to hear people say "how time fly so swiftly". "I just woke up and now am getting ready for bed again..." and so on and so forth. End time is really near at hand!
