Warm greetings from our Tomorrow’s World television studio. In January of 2020, the American economy appeared to prosper. Unemployment rates were the lowest in recent years. (in history). Millions more were employed in newly created jobs. But then the COVID-19 pandemic quickly reversed the boom to a bust. The coronavirus pandemic was followed by massive protests over social injustice. Violence, looting, burning and destruction overcame tranquility and peaceful commerce in cities around the world. It seems that we search IN VAIN for peace, order, justice, and normality. Why cannot we achieve lasting world, national and community peace? As the prophet Isaiah proclaimed, and later quoted by the Apostle Paul, “The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that way shall not know peace.†That’s Isaiah 59, verse 8.
When we consider the history of the world, and the incredible modern inventions, technology, and infrastructure in many nations around the globe, can we really say “It is a world gone mad?†Tomorrow’s World has reminded our television viewers and magazine readers that world cosmocide has already reared its apocalyptic head and was averted in the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The historic cold war between the Soviet Union and the United States for more than four decades relied on the theory of “MAD,†M-A-D, mutually assured destruction. This theory of deterrence relied on the fear of total nuclear war and total annihilation of all life on earth. Yes, in one sense, we’ve already experienced a world gone mad. But the world today convulses economically, governmentally, and socially. Along with the global pestilence of coronavirus, weather and environmental disasters, these trends seem to portend the end of the world. In fact, in February 2020, United .Nations Secretary-General António Guterres shared a sobering view of our world, stating that “a wind of madness is sweeping the globe†(“‘Wind of Madness’ Is Sweeping Earth, U.N. Secretary-General Says,†NPR.org, February 4, 2020).
There is a cause for every effect! What are the causes of the problems we’re facing today? Could it be that we are causing these dire consequences by calling good evil and evil good as it tells us in Isaiah 5 and verse 20? Tomorrow’s World presenters powerfully answer that question in three insightful presentations: “A World of Suppressionâ€; “A World of Divisionâ€; and “A World of Revision.â€
Our presenters compare the reality of a world gone mad with the powerful record of biblical truth. Listen carefully to their analysis, and check their incisive references in your own Bible. And now, let’s all understand the underlying causes and face the dangers of “A World Gone Mad.â€
