7 Billion: How Did We Get So Big So Fast? (3240 hits)
It was just over two centuries ago that the global population was 1 billion — in 1804. But better medicine and improved agriculture resulted in higher life expectancy for children, dramatically increasing the world population, especially in the West.
As higher standards of living and better health care are reaching more parts of the world, the rates of fertility — and population growth — have started to slow down, though the population will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
U.N. forecasts suggest the world population could hit a peak of 10.1 billion by 2100 before beginning to decline. But exact numbers are hard to come by — just small variations in fertility rates could mean a population of 15 billion by the end of the century.
This gun issue in the major cities in cities like Chicago is connected to this high rate of murders by guns there and the monies made by that industry in North West Indiana, where gun laws are less strict. This is one of the latest tricks of the evil ones to keep your mind of your purpose Black people.
We are living longer and doing more with our lives because of the power of The Most High is revealing is secrets unto what is his.
Was the population really one billion in 1804? That sounds too high.

..."The last 70 years of the 20th century saw the biggest increase in the world's population in human history. The following table shows when each billion milestone was met:
* 1 billion reached in 1802. * 2 billion reached in 1927. * 3 billion reached in 1961. * 4 billion reached in 1974. * 5 billion reached in 1987. * 6 billion reached in 1999."...
Steve asked... "Why is that Brother Deacon?"... Deac replies... "Because it is his will Brother Steve."
JeniFa adds ... Functioning at the junction is good for procreation. God wanted us to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. Not so? He also wanted us to enjoy one another.
For a long time I've pictured the Earth as an orange. First a little spot of mold appears then, the mold is fruitful and multiplies. The mold does great until the orange is all used up, then the mold dies too.

If the first five billion was great then the next five billion should be even better, and the next ten billion even better. Right?

5 But right away the angel took the incense vessel, and he filled it with some of the fire of the altar and hurled it to the earth. And there were thunders and voices and flashes of lightning and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow them. 7 The first one blew his trumpet. And there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green vegetation was burned up. 8 The second angel blew his trumpet. And something like a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. And a third of the sea became blood; 9 and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were wrecked. 10 The third angel blew his trumpet. And a great star burning like a lamp fell from heaven, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. And a third of the waters turned into wormwood, and many of the people died from the waters, because these had been made bitter. 12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet. And a third of the sun was struck and a third of the moon and a third of the stars, in order that a third of them might be darkened and the day might not have light for a third of it, and the night likewise. 13 And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven say with a loud voice: “Woe, woe, woe to those dwelling on the earth because of the rest of the trumpet blasts of the three angels who are about to blow their trumpets!”
That's what I'm saying Brother Deacon. The population of China is 1.4 billion and these people are throwing themselves out of windows because of exploitation.

Do you think that the 1% want that for this country too?

Are you referring to yourself? Is this orange a representation of yourself, if so I'm praying for you! lol
