Do advances in technology and communication show we are closer to Christ's return?

Les explains that it is not a matter of if the kingdom is coming but when. Israel will yet have glory under the King of kings, far more than under David and Solomon, though they were not to know the timing. He says we are getting closer every day, and the more we read about exploding technology and fantastic developments in electronics and communication, the more these things should scream at us that it is that much closer to the end of this age of grace and Christ's return. Les also recounts answering a scoffer who said nothing has happened, taking him back to Peter's words that in the last days scoffers will say, 'Where is the promise of His coming?' and note that since the fathers fell asleep they have been talking about these things. Les grants that, but says not on a scale like today. The world is screaming that the Lord is coming, so believers should look up and be ready.
