From Then To Now, And Beyond.

🚀 From the Jetsons to Starfleet: A 1960s Kid Looks Around in 2025.

When I was a boy in the ’60s, Saturday mornings meant The Jetsons and primetime meant the original Star Trek.

The Jetsons promised that by the year 2000 we’d all be zipping around in flying cars, eating dinner in pill form, and letting robot maids clean up after us. Star Trek stretched our imaginations even further: “Beam me up, Scotty,” communicators that flipped open like magic, and computers that answered your every question (sound familiar?).

Well, here we are in 2025. I still don’t have a flying car, but I sure can talk to a little box in my pocket and get an answer faster than Spock could raise an eyebrow. And yes, my vacuum cleaner roams the house on its own. Turns out The Jetsons and Star Trek weren’t so far off. Amazing how time flies.

But here’s the catch: while technology soared, morality has sagged. The Bible told us it would: “…evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13, NKJV).

In plain talk: sin will become increasingly sinful. The gadgets change, but the human heart without God doesn’t.

It’s humorous to see that a cartoon family and a Starship crew predicted parts of our daily life better than most politicians ever did. But it’s profound to remember this: no matter how futuristic the world gets, God’s Word never goes out of date.

📖 “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8, NKJV).

So whether it’s warp speed, Wi-Fi, or whatever comes next, the end of the story is certain: God’s children will reign with Him in eternity. That’s not science fiction — that’s Scriptural fact.
