Estimated Growth this year, and coming years

What will life be like in the coming decades, if the Lord delays? :-)

Hi all

I’ve always disliked “world completely wiped out except for machines” movies, while we’re awaiting the Lord’s return. As one brother said, there is nothing new under the sun. 

Ok, I really pray his return is close,  but if not, let’s take a look at world stats, coupled with Jesus’s determined expression “Look at the birds, the flowers”, the Father’s love, how much more is it increased when it comes to the value of each person, in the coming decades / centuries

Here’s the most recent stats, of where the babies are being born, and where they’ve kind of frozen, or going backwards.

Blessings  Steve
