Discussion Board Forum 1: The IoE and End Times

“The IoE is bringing together people, processes, data, and things to make networked connections more relevant and valuable. It is turning information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunities for individuals, businesses, and countries.” (Cisco Press, V5)

Daniel 12:4 states, “ 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” (KJV).

In at least 300 words, discuss whether you believe these two passages are related and defend your position. Answer the research question, “Does the unprecedented use of the Internet to disseminate information indicate that we may be in the ‘Last Days’ as Jesus discussed in Matthew 24:14? Why or why not?”

Because there are few scholarly research articles linking these aspects, you may use sources that are not peer-reviewed for this assignment. Provide at least 2 references in your thread. One of these references may be the Bible. At least one reference must be from a source other than the Bible or your textbook.

Reply to 2 of your classmates’ threads. Focus on information that you may not have thought about when writing your own thread and how this information might change or strengthen your viewpoint. Each reply must be at least 100 words. No minimum number of citations is required in your replies.
