Many things need to happen for the end of the times to happen. Approaching the time of the end, one of the telltale signs will be an increase in the knowledge of God. Not only will the church, but the world will also increase in knowledge. The devil needs to accomplish his agenda little by little. He needs to work his worldview into the minds of people and train the next generation for his cause. The devil needs to work his worldview into the culture. When we say that God is in control, we are ignorant that God gave control of the earth to Adam, who in turn gave it to the devil.
