The Book Of Daniel: The End Of Times
"Many of those whose bodies are dead and buried will rise up....
... some to everlasting life...
to glitter like stars forever."
Daniel:
The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed.
He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses.
And many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up to shame and everlasting contempt. Many humans will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. And, there will be a time of anguish greater than any previous suffering in history.
This passage from the Book of Daniel describes a period of great turmoil and conflict, marked by the rise of a powerful and arrogant king who exalts himself above all gods, including the God of gods. The king’s actions indicate a complete disregard for tradition, faith, and morality, as he prioritizes his own power and glorifies militarism by honoring a “god of fortresses.”
The passage also foretells a time of immense suffering and anguish, surpassing any previous hardships in history. Many people will experience violence, destruction, and loss, depicted by falling by the sword, being burned, captured, or plundered. The imagery evokes a sense of chaos and despair as humanity faces unprecedented challenges and tribulations.
Furthermore, the mention of “many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up to shame and everlasting contempt” suggests a final judgment or reckoning, where those who have faced injustice and persecution will be vindicated, while those who have oppressed others will face eternal disgrace.
Overall, the passage highlights themes of arrogance, oppression, suffering, and divine judgment, serving as a warning about the consequences of pride and injustice. It emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful and righteous in the face of adversity and corruption.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF FORESEEING
Title: The Impact of Governance & Globalization on Forecasting
(The Tunnel Under Theory)
by D. Brouse, M. Hammel, and S. Mukherjee
Introduction
Originally published in 1995, this study offers a global forecast projecting a Social Justification scenario where humans find themselves compelled to “tunnel underground.”
Abstract: The Tunnel Under Thesis
Planning and control are integral functions of management. Once a plan is established, it must be executed. The effectiveness of plan control is contingent upon the quality of the plan itself. The ability to forecast events and trends accurately and precisely is pivotal to the quality of the planning function.
Forecasting methodologies, including qualitative analyses, time series analysis & projection, and econometric models, are extensively utilized across U.S. businesses and governmental agencies.
The interplay of three key factors—control of digital distribution, security, and pollution—is poised to render traditional forecasting tools and methods increasingly unreliable:
Control of Digital Distribution
Existing systems for controlling data communications and digital distribution are showing signs of failure. Attempts by owners of traditional systems to maintain control are likely to spur the development of underground technologies.
Examples include peer-to-peer networks and music swapping websites.
Security
Government efforts to combat globally organized illicit activities such as drugs or terrorism often result in significant collateral damage to citizens, infrastructure, and governance systems.
The Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Department are instances where the U.S. Federal Government’s attempt to control, based on forecasting methods, has led to unintended consequences. These repercussions compel both good and bad actors to decentralize their activities, giving rise to encrypted data tunnels and underground communication networks.
State governments, grappling with challenges in controlling tax receipts due to digital distribution of goods and services, may inadvertently foster the development of decentralized business systems. This exacerbates existing inadequacies in municipal government accounting systems.
Pollution
Pollution, with greenhouse gases being a major threat, is driving irreversible climatic change. Some perceive land clearing as a form of pollution, while deforestation exacerbates the global warming crisis.
Chaos theory suggests that meteorological forecasting will face similar challenges to economic forecasting. Given the close relationship between weather and the economy, heightened volatility is anticipated in both domains.
Global warming, along with issues such as insect-borne and zoonotic viruses, particulate matter and ozone pollution, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, nuclear fallout, reforms to flood insurance, wildfires, and other weather-related phenomena, portend a more literal interpretation of “tunneling under.”

The end of times is drawing near
The heat of Man’s beat come to fear
From hottest months on record, we can’t hide
As we face the chaos, the rising tide
Done, no place to run

Diseases aggravated, by Mother’s wrath
As pathogens spread along their path
From warming oceans to shifting sands
Humans struggle to understand

[Pre-Chorus]
Forecasting fails, chaos prevails
In this era where fear trails
[Chorus]
The end of times, it’s drawing near
As primate change looms, the future unclear
Disease and disaster, the world’s in plight
The end of times, a terrifying sight
Oh to find kind light
Just a sliver of daylight
[Bridge]
Tipping points crossed, irreversible fate
As we grapple with our planet’s state
From violent rain to rising seas
The end of times brings us to our knees
Oh please, please, please
[Verse 3]
Elevations rise, as waters surge
Leaving behind destruction, an urgent urge
To act, to change, to save our home
Before it’s too late, before we’re alone
Tried, no place to hide
Done, no place to run
Done undone
[Break]
Out-of-sight
Alright
Out-of-sight

Forecasting fails, chaos prevails
In this era where fear trails

The end of times, it’s drawing near
As primate change looms, the future unclear
Disease and disaster, the world’s in plight
The end of times, a terrifying sight
Oh to find kind light
Just a sliver of daylight
Out-of-sight
[Outro]
But amidst the chaos, hope still springs
With every action, a difference it brings
So let us rise, let us fight
For a world where the end of times is out of sight
Out-of-sight
[End]

A SCIENCE LESSON
What will the “End of Times” look like?
“The era of global warming has ended and the era of ‘global boiling’ has arrived. Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning”, UN secretary general, António Guterres, said after scientists confirmed July 2023 was on track to be the world’s hottest month on record.
In the 1990’s, we wrote a paper on the worst-case scenario entitled, “The Impact of Governance & Globalization on Forecasting (The Tunnel Under Thesis).” The theory predicted that forecasting would become increasingly difficult. “The result — a figurative, as well as, literal tunneling underground.”
Since that time, forecasting has become increasing more difficult. “In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans,” said Mukherjee and Brouse. (2004)
In a report published in Nature entitled Over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by climate change, data analyst and associate professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Hawaii Manoa, Camilo Mora, said climate hazards aggravated 58% of all known human pathogens. That is over half of infectious diseases discovered since the end of the Roman Empire. 58% of an authoritative list of infectious diseases documented to have impacted humanity have already been shown to be aggravated by climatic hazards — a finding the researchers found “shocking,” Mora said.
Movement of people and animals caused by climate is one factor. Warming at higher latitudes allowed vectors and pathogens to survive winter is another factor. The report goes on to say, “The human pathogenic diseases and transmission pathways aggravated by climatic hazards are too numerous for comprehensive societal adaptations, highlighting the urgent need to work at the source of the problem: reducing GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions.”
This research reveals more evidence that humans will have difficulty adapting to climate change, especially those in developing countries, Mora said. “The magnitude of the vulnerability when you think about one or two diseases — okay, sure, we can deal with that,” he said. “But when you’re talking about 58% of the diseases, and 58% of those diseases can be affected or triggered in 1,000 different ways. So that, to me, was also revealing of the fact that we’re not going to be able to adapt to climate change.”
In 2023, we wrote about having crossed tipping points in the paper, “Climate Change: How Long Is ‘Ever’?“. When we wrote the Tunnel Under Thesis in 1995, we forecast crossing these tipping points would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man’s ignorance and arrogance. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in toppled tipping points, feedback loops, and The Domino Effect.
Events we thought would not happen in our lifetimes are happening now. My last resort emergency plan was to escape to Canada. (I am a dual citizen.) This summer that plan literally went up in smoke. “Beginning in March 2023, and with increased intensity starting in June, Canada has been affected by an ongoing, record-setting series of wildfires.” — Wikipedia
All of my life I have located my office and bedrooms in the uppermost southern exposure (preferably in the tree canopy.) I love sunlight, elevation, trees, fresh air, and wildlife. It is becoming ever more obvious my dreamlife is coming to an end, and I will be forced to tunnel under. For those forward thinkers, think about your poop. Pumping sewage above ground level will be a major problem at all times. In addition, the inability to pump flood water will become deadly during extreme weather events. In July of 2020 NPR reported, “The remnants of Hurricane Ida dropped unprecedented rainfall on several eastern states, killing dozens of people. Eleven of them were Queens residents who died when their basement apartments flooded.” In August of 2022 CNN reported, “Seoul has vowed to move some of the city’s poorest families out of underground and semi-subterranean homes after 13 people were killed in flooding caused by record rainfall this week, sparking public horror and calls for government accountability.” Drowning in your own poop may result for those unprepared.
There will be enough ice melt to raise sea levels 220 feet. We estimate 270 feet to be “the minimum safe” elevation to live. High-tides, waves, coastal flooding, storm surge, grade of shoreline, etc. would make the lowest elevations for living space to be at least 270 feet above pre-industrial sea levels. This would be the minimum elevation. Personally, I would not want to live that low. As the water submerges sewage treatment plants, landfills, chickens, cows, and all sorts of other bio-hazards, the waters will become toxic. In addition, much of the land will experience salinization making it unfit for plant life. Another concern for elevations under 800 feet is living on an island. Many locations at lower elevations will become isolated. Living on an island has many problems including fresh water, food, shelter, and healthcare. Security from pirates pilfering, raping, and plundering will likely be the overriding concern. Of course, I don’t expect that to happen for millennia, but I hope government planners do plan for it now. If you look at Florida as an example, parts of the coastline have seen sea levels rise over 14-20 feet in the last decade. Although the storm surge was only for hours, you wouldn’t want to live there during those hours. Not to mention, the frequency of these extreme weather events will rise exponentially. Thus, our recommendation to evacuate Florida now (i.e. Managed Retreat). The billions of dollars spent to rebuild after Hurricane Ida will all be for naught. Allowing building there will needlessly endanger property and lives. Parts of the world have already seen storm surges of 40 feet. I expect most North American coastlines will see sea levels rise, if only temporarily, by 20-40 feet this century. As far as long run sea level rise, much will depend on location, gravity, isostatic adjustment, and thermal expansion. If the ocean temperatures get warm enough (thermal expansion), parts of the world may see sea levels rise to 270 feet for long periods of times. Other parts of the world, like Greenland, may actually see sea levels decline. In any event, the Earth crossed tipping points this decade which make extreme sea level rise inevitable and irreversible in our lifetimes. Planners should plan on it.
Sidd reiterated, “That 270 feet will take a long time. I would be more careful about the violent rain than the ice melt.” Expect to see increasing intensity and/or frequency in a wide variety of violent rain events including: downpours, flooding, hurricanes, cyclones, monsoons, coastal flooding, storm surges, lightning and wildfires, hail, extreme wind, and concurrent extremes. The reign of violent rain has already begun. More hillsides and shorelines are collapsing. Atmospheric rivers are dramatically increasing flash flooding in the Northeastern USA. Worldwide, stormwater systems are becoming overwhelmed. Ironically, the streets of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, UAE, flooded days before the COP28 Climate Conference. Nowhere is safe from violent rain, not even in the desert preparing for a UN meeting on the climate crisis. As a result of increasing violent rain, new drainage culverts are forming. Eventually, the culverts will transform into recurring streams, carving new canyons, creating new landscapes and islands. In addition, extreme weather events are increasing the frequency of lightning storms and wildfires. After wildfires, rain deluges cause massive landslides transforming the topography. At the same time as the violent rain makes its way to the sea, the sea is rising to meet the violent rain.
In the article “Violent Rain and the Substrate,” Greg Laden, coastal archaeologist, said, “With a little erosion, the Hudson, Lake Champlain, and the St. Lawrence could become contiguous, so New England becomes an Island.”
For any remaining humans, fresh air, water, food, and sunlight will all be problematic; however, your most severe concern will likely be security. Those with supplies will be at high risk of being raped and looted. Good luck!
* Our climate model employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels.
What Can I Do?
There are numerous actions you can take to contribute to saving the planet. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. Be a butterfly and affect the world. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that a small change in one area can lead to significant alterations in conditions anywhere on the globe. Hence, the frequently heard statement that a butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic.

DANIEL THE DREAMER
In the Bible, Daniel is depicted as a dreamer and a seer through his ability to interpret dreams and receive visions from God. One of the most famous accounts of Daniel’s prophetic gift is found in the Book of Daniel, particularly in chapters 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8.
In chapter 2, King Nebuchadnezzar has a troubling dream that none of his wise men can interpret. However, Daniel, through God’s revelation, not only interprets the dream but also reveals the dream itself to the king, demonstrating his divine insight.
Similarly, in chapter 4, Daniel interprets another dream for King Nebuchadnezzar, predicting the king’s downfall due to his pride and subsequent restoration after humbling himself before God.
In chapters 7 and 8, Daniel himself receives visions of future events, including the rise and fall of various kingdoms and empires, which ultimately foreshadow the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God’s kingdom.
Throughout these accounts, Daniel’s ability to receive and interpret dreams and visions demonstrates his role as a conduit for divine revelation and his close relationship with God. He serves as a trusted advisor to kings, offering wisdom and insight that comes directly from God.
The Book of Daniel Chapter 12 primarily focuses on a vision that Daniel receives concerning the end times, resurrection, and the ultimate destiny of God’s people. Here is a summary of the key points in Daniel Chapter 12:
Overall, Daniel Chapter 12 provides a glimpse into the eschatological future, emphasizing the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the reward for the righteous. It underscores the importance of wisdom, righteousness, and faithfulness in light of the events to come.
1. At that (this) time, the mighty angelic prince who stands guard over your (our) nation, will stand up and fight for you in heaven against satanic forces. And, there will be a time of anguish for the Judeo Christians greater than any previous suffering in history. And yet every one of your (our) people whose names are written in the Book will endure it.

With brilliance shining on and on
And those who lead others to the light
Will glitter like stars in the darkest night
