Daniel 12:4, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
As a polio survivor with a crippled hand and arm, perhaps some computer interface would provide me with better dexterity. Also I have a family history of macular degeneration and added to that I’m a blue-eyed blond. As a result I am a prime candidate for losing most of my vision in my later years. There is some work being done in Israel with micro-chips that can be inserted into the eye to assist with vision. There are so many things that either gene therapy or computer augmentation could do to improve the human condition. The big however is that we are opening Pandora’s Box. We surely are in the end days prophesied when there would be an explosion of knowledge. Technology is advancing so fast but what of the moral condition of humans?
“Growing Concerns: There are few regulatory or procedural disciplines. Most involve small, intensely competitive laboratories. There are few government or established labs doing this research.”(1)
The possibility of genetic targeting weapons has been suggested. These would be viruses/diseases that would home in on a certain human genome. Jeremiah 50:9 talks to arrows that do not return in vain. The arrows reach their target through build-in intelligence and not through the archer. Very likely the military would like to have the Ultimate super warrior equipped with bionic parts.
Several years ago Ray Kurzuek authored a book titled “The Singularity is Near;” the movie version will be released this summer in time for December 21, 2012. The singularity is that point when the computer capability exceeded that of the human brain.
A few years ago I read about Nanotechnologies, Molecule-sized machines, in the book “Shadow Government…” by Grant Jeffrey. It just seems so far-fetched that I wrote it off as mostly conspiracy theory. Mr. Jeffrey wrote about these nanos as being almost like dust that could be blown on a person and later used home in on. Mr. Jeffrey was considered one of the leading Bible prophecy experts, sadly he recently passed away. (2)
Case Law School Receives $773,000 NIH Grant To Develop Guidelines For Genetic Enhancement Research…. the use of genetic technologies to enhance “normal” individuals—to make them smarter, stronger, or better-looking....(3)
So what do I theorize that God would say about all of this “running to and fro?” Of course the tower of Babel comes to mind, Genesis 1:6-7” And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.” And then there is Romans 1:18 to the end of the chapter that really details what happens to those who would corrupt His creation or take credit for it.
