The Rapid Decline of Humanity into ‘Absence of Wisdom’
I debated some on this title. Most objects of the preposition “into” would be rather subjective and arguable. Should I use ‘into ignorance?’ How about ‘into stupidity?’ Or maybe ‘into the irrational?’ So picking one that said what I wanted and was supported by an authority greater than mine seemed preferable. “The bible is the one authority that is, to me, unquestionable. It says the fear of God is the ‘beginning’ of wisdom, so the lack of that would seem to be the absence of wisdom.
As far as the word “Rapid”, most of what I will outline here has happened in my lifetime. A mere lifetime against the backdrop of the six thousand year history of mankind is but a drop in the bucket. And of course, with the onset of the genetically engineered virus currently being used to change how things work, the speed has only increased.
Warning! This will NOT be politically correct or written to appease the arrogant. Let me draw you a parallel to what I’m trying to do. You are a passenger in a car winding down a curvy mountain road. Ahead lies a curve missing a guard rail with a drop of thousands of feet into a ravine. You look over at the driver and notice he is asleep at the wheel.
Would you carefully tap him on the shoulder and gently say, “You know, in analyzing our current situation, you being awake might be a good choice. I don’t wish to startle you in any way, but we stand a good chance of dying up ahead so you might want to rouse yourself and do a self-analysis as well?”
You would only get to about “You know in analyzing-ng-ng-ng-ng-ng. . . . “ before you hurtled off the edge of the mountain. I would rather opt for a rude, “WAKE UP!” shouted at the top of my voice. So this is more of a “WAKE UP!” than a gentle nudge. I’m not seeking wide acceptance. I hope to wake some that might not be seeing what’s happening and inform some who are wondering about what they’re seeing happen.
What I’m about to say may sound a bit like some conspiracy theory. It’s not. I am NOT attributing any of this to some nefarious political organization or nation wanting to undermine humanity. People are involved of course, but its engineer is a bit more techie than mere man. God called him the ruler of this entire world, a liar, the father of lies, a murderer and a few more rather derogatory terms. I am, of course, speaking of Satan. Some decry his existence, but he exists and is alive and active on this planet we live on. His agenda is being accelerated as he works to control the human race. He has put in place many land mines of destruction. His goal? To prevent the world from a sane and productive course. It is those land mines to which I want to draw your attention. By the way, I will add some insight into the timing of the end when I finish here.
His first land mine. Separate the creation of man from the creator. The fact he sold this one to rational thinking human beings, definitely emphasizes that the fear of God is a necessary part of wisdom. Satan finds a willing subject to devise a cockamamie ‘theory.’ (I use that word very loosely because scientific theories have rules they must meet in order to be considered a valid theory. This one breaks almost all of them.) Mankind rushes to embrace it because it removes them from any responsibility to a creator and sets up randomness as an excuse for any activity in which they wish to indulge. The educational institutions love it as they tend to be a prime ministry of misinformation and set about to teach it more as fact than theory, and “evolution” becomes the creator of man. Scientific journals begin to refer to it as the way things are, and anyone who questions it is considered ignorant. It becomes the emperor’s new clothes.
Having separated the creation from his creator, Satan now sets about to remove God from any institution or organization of man. Prayer in schools is labeled “intolerance.” Unless of course, it is to any random God not found in the bible. The word “Jesus” is relegated as acceptable only if used in an exclamation. References to Christ are removed from Xmas. Any reference to God’s law is not allowable in any governmental organization or branch. References or honor given to the one true God is dishonoring all the others and is sold as intolerance. Well, I am intolerant of anything false being sold as truth. If that bugs you, get over it.
Next, let’s add credibility to a philosophy and call it “science,” and so psychology is born. While it started before my lifetime, only in my lifetime has it been credited with being more than philosophies about the thinking of man. There is no universal school of thought on psychology, so it lends itself to multiple fads which are then called science and pedaled at the nearest clinic. The biggest issue is that it lacks solutions. Psychologists do some nice work in collecting data on problems and their causes but have little to offer on any long-lasting real solutions. Lacking that, the “science” tries to legitimize what it can’t solve.
Some poor chap with an addiction to sex with his own gender is frustrated that he can’t move on with his life, raise a family, have children, and create a legacy. He goes to his local psychologist to get help. Since the psychologist hasn’t actually been able to solve anything, he does what seems compassionate. Excuses the addiction as being a misplaced DNA fragment. Sounds reasonable. After all evolution tells us we came together randomly and it is simply a deviation of the normal evolution of man. Don’t worry fellow. It’s just who you are. We’ll pass laws to protect your preference. You will still feel frustrated, but we can give you some pharmaceuticals to help numb your frustrations. In their effort to be compassionate, they lock the poor guy into a life of frustration and throw away the key. He’s stuck. He is what his addiction dictates and he can’t change. And they call that compassionate.
Now society moves way down the road and attacks their own language. Let’s talk about pronouns. Pronouns are a form of noun that clarifies things to the reader. If I write “His name was Sue” we can tell by the pronoun that Sue was a guy. Here’s a real revelation, people. Gender is a biological fact, not a choice. You don’t get to choose. You can choose what kind of guy or gal you want to be, you can choose what you want to wear. You can’t choose what gender you are. Try hard as you want, if born a gal you will not father any children with your own sperm, or if born a guy you will never get pregnant. Best bet would be to accept the fact you are what you are and live life the way it is rather than the way you wish it was. If someone wants to dress in a fashion fitting for the opposite gender, go for it, but don’t pretend that changes what gender you actually are. Pretending it does, simply makes you look ignorant to anyone who has wisdom, so use your proper bathroom with your new clothes and leave the other gender to theirs. Even if you go to some quack willing to make physiological alteration to your body, you won’t become what you wish. So we are again back to the emperor’s new clothes, as this topic is again used to diminish anyone who wishes to remain somewhat rational in their thinking and declare the emperor naked. (If you’ve never read that story I would get on it or you won’t have a clue what I’m trying to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyIFXsGJgcI) My urgent request. Leave our pronouns alone and let them do what they do. Quit trying to use plural pronouns to designate a single individual’s open gender preferences. Sheesh! Words are words used to define. Write responsibly!
Now about timing. Are we approaching the end? When this subject comes up, the head in the sand approach is “No man knows the day or the hour.” Well said! If someone says the end will coming Saturday at 2pm, you know they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about since they involved both the day and the hour. If someone says the end will arrive sometime before 2068, they are NOT talking about the day or the hour and that particular overused phrase has little to no relativity to the discussion. So don’t use it, listen, and make your own conclusions based on what the bible says. The bible definitely defines the seasons and gives accurate and complete insight to the parameters of limits. You can read the bible and draw the same conclusions I am going to draw. It takes a bit of study but I have spent the last 45 years focused on it.
Numbers and dates to remember. 120 years (the limit of a generation) May, 1948. (Israel becomes a sovereign country after over two thousand years as a governed colony.) 2068. (The outside parameter of the generation born on or about May of 1948.)
In Genesis chapter 6, God says he’s about to change the course of mankind and do a reboot. Eight people will survive and life will begin again. He says he will limit the boundaries of man’s life to 120 years. Thus you don’t find any 121 year olds running around the planet anymore. A few reach into the hundred and teens, but no claim to living to over 120 has been validated in the last couple of millenniums.
Jesus gives us further insight in his dissertation on what the end will be like in Matthew 24. Toward the end of his explanation about the end, he says this. Matthew 24:32-34“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
Understanding the parable hinges on an understanding of the biblical symbol of the fig tree. The bible often uses symbolism to emphasize a deeper meaning. The fig tree is used throughout the bible to designate national Israel and the olive tree to represent spiritual Israel. “When its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves,” is a pretty widely accepted symbol of Israel becoming a nation. The other events he lays out are quite specific. Other biblical references are also. Israel became a nation May 14th 1948. That generation won’t pass away before the end comes but we can determine that generation will pass away before 2068, the 120 year limit. Though we don’t know the day nor the hour, we do know the season and thus the limits of this world. It ends somewhere before 2068. By the way, if you’re a student of historical theology, that also fits type and symbol of the dispensations.
In the year 2020, we all became aware of a genetically engineered virus released on the world. Perhaps accidental, perhaps by design. Whichever, it is being widely used by governments to control their population through fear. The use by governments is more opportunism than conspiracy, but Satan will use it to pave the road for his man-of- the-hour; the antichrist. God isn’t the author of the spirit of fear (2 Tim 1:7), and we are aware who is. Satan. He’s using it to get the public to willingly relinquish their liberties, which is essential for the end. So don’t be deceived. If you lack a relationship with the Lord, you’re going to need it way more than you need any vaccination. Get both if you wish, but whatever you do, don’t skip the God relationship. Forget returning to normal. Normal is not the course we’re on. We probably will learn to live with abnormal a bit, but neighborhood kindness and tolerance of differing opinions is not going to grow. The bible is pretty clear on that one. You, however can be a light in the darkness. You can show forth kindness and tolerance. And while the world grows darker, your light will become more noticeable. Fear God, get wise, and trust in the Lord!
