The meaning in the increase of human knowledge in the end-time society
Greetings to all my brothers and sisters in Yahshua. My name is Elder Dan, your host. Today’s podcast is titled, The Increase of Knowledge in the Last Days.

There’s a verse in the Bible that can be found in the book of Daniel, chapter 12, verse 4, where it reads, “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
When we examine this verse closely, we can see that it is talking about the last days, a time when knowledge and information will be readily available. This has been a topic of conversation for many years, especially in recent times when we consider the rapid advancements in technology and the ease with which information can be shared globally.
The phrase “many shall run to and fro” is often interpreted as a reference to travel. In the last days, people will be able to move around the globe with ease, thanks to advancements in transportation technology. This could also be interpreted as people rushing to gain knowledge and information, which is abundant in our world today.
Whatever the interpretation, we can see that this verse speaks to the incredible advancements that we have witnessed and continue to witness in our world.
The second part of the verse, “knowledge shall increase,” is the crux of this passage. The amount of knowledge and information that is available to us today is astounding.
With the internet, we have access to information on almost any topic we can imagine, from academic research to popular culture. This abundance of knowledge has changed the way we live our lives, interact with each other, and even the way we make decisions.
However, some may argue that knowledge is not just about facts and information, but also about wisdom and understanding. In the last days, the Bible suggests that there will be a spiritual awakening, and people will gain a deeper understanding of Yahweh and the world around them. This spiritual enlightenment is just as important, if not more so, than the abundance of information available to us today.
While we celebrate the incredible advancements that technology has brought us, we must also be aware of the consequences when it is used carelessly and irresponsibly.
One example is the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), which has the potential to revolutionize our world in countless positive ways, but also has the potential to create havoc and confusion, especially in the wrong hands.
The ability of AI to process and analyze vast amounts of data in real-time has already changed the face of many industries, from healthcare to finance. However, it is also important to remember that AI is only as good as the people who create it, and if it is programmed with the wrong biases and intentions, the consequences could be disastrous.
There are many examples of how AI has already been misused, from deep fakes to misinformation campaigns. In recent years, we have seen numerous cases of AI being used in malicious ways, from deep fakes to cyber attacks.
The danger lies in the fact that these technologies are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it harder and harder to distinguish between what is real and what is fake. This means that it is more important than ever to be vigilant and discerning when it comes to the information we consume, and the sources we trust.
We must be conscious of the potential dangers of AI and other forms of technology, and work towards creating a world where technology is used for the betterment of society, rather than to create chaos and confusion.
Therefore, it’s required of us to have a commitment to education and responsible use of technology, along with a recognition that the rise of AI is a double-edged sword. It has the potential to bring great good but also great harm if not wielded carefully.
Yes, Daniel 12:4 is a fascinating verse that speaks to the incredible advancements we have witnessed in our world, both in terms of knowledge and technology. The rise of AI is one example of this.
In conclusion, as we reflect on the words of Daniel 12:4 and the promise that knowledge shall increase, we must always remember that with great knowledge comes great responsibility.
Given the rise of AI, we must be all vigilant in ensuring that it is being developed and used in an ethical and responsible manner. Only then can we truly harness the power of technology to create a better world for all.
As we look towards the future, we are reminded of the words of Daniel, and the promise that knowledge shall increase. It also reminds us that these technological advancements are part of a larger plan, and that we should not forget the importance of spiritual growth and enlightenment.
