Was listening to a sermon and David Jeremiah was talking about global milestones. The numbers are baffling, astounding how the population has skyrocketed 5 billion in just 84 years.
What role do you think this will play in the end times, events mentioned in the book of Revelation after the rapture? Hint: famine and wars.

7.7 Billion (2019)
The current world population is 7.7 billion as of April 2019 according to the most recent United Nations estimates elaborated by Worldometers. The term "World Population" refers to the human population (the total number of humans currently living) of the world.
7 Billion (2011)
According to the United Nations, world population reached 7 Billion on October 31, 2011. The US Census Bureau made a lower estimate, for which the 7 billion mark was only reached on March 12, 2012.
6 Billion (1999)
According to the United Nations, the 6 billion figure was reached on October 12, 1999 (celebrated as the Day of 6 Billion). According to the U.S. Census Bureau instead, the six billion milestone was reached on July 22, 1999, at about 3:49 AM GMT. Yet, according to the U.S. Census, the date and time of when 6 billion was reached will probably change because the already uncertain estimates are constantly being updated.
7 Billion: 2011
6 Billion: 1999
5 Billion: 1987
4 Billion: 1974
3 Billion: 1960
2 Billion: 1930
1 Billion: 1804
