Imagine an ancient prophet seeing a vision of our modern super highways with hundreds of cars speeding along with their headlights blazing at night!--How would he describe it?
Now remember he'd never seen or even imagined anything like an automobile before! Well, 2,600 years ago the prophet Nahum foresaw that in the last days before Jesus returns...
"The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings!" (Nahum 2:3,4).
Automobiles racing along in the night must have looked like lightning to him! And they certainly do jostle one another in the broad ways!--In an average year in the U.S. alone there are 19-1\2 million crashes, in which 4 million are injured and 45,000 killed.
