Knowledge will increase. (Daniel 12:1-13
This extra relevant, extra sophisticated prophesy was muted by a primitive Jewish prophet enslaved in exile 500 years before Christ and more than two thousand years before the Enlightenment. This prophecy is more fulfilling today than any other time. Shame to those who denigrate the bible and the God of the bible.
More than anytime in history the world is witnessing the uncontrollable increase in knowledge through science, technology and philosophy. All kinds of knowledge are increasing. Thank God knowledge about God is increasing as well.
Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Apparently this is an offshoot of the fruit of good and evil that Adam and Eve ate in the garden of Eden. So it started with the fruit of good and evil. The serpent told Eve, you will be like the gods knowing good and evil. The only thing the serpent did not tell them was whether they will have the power to choose the good over the evil.
Gen 3:1Humans will be like gods, knowing good and evil. Has this knowledge helped humans to chose the good over the evil in the world today?
Let’s look at few examples from the choice available to humans from the increase of knowledge. Much as medical science is striving hard to make people live longer, well and healthier, the discovery of and investment in weapons of mass destruction in the world in short-changing lives by the second. Scarcely does anyone know this started from the knowledge of pressing the trigger. With the look of things in regards to knowledge of battle tricks armaments and nuclear weapon, the world might actually voluntarily destroy itself without God lifting a finger against it.
What about the prevalent lifestyle everywhere? People are actually on the part of self annihilation through knowledge. Even our young ones are taught from the cradle to engage in self affliction and destruction. One simply need to take a cursory look at the school syllabus, glance on the culture on our street and stay five minutes with the popular television programmes and films and your conclusion might not be wrong.
So what is biblical counsel in regards to all these things?
Know what God requires and do it.
Micah 6:8
Acts 4:12
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Seek godly knowledge, wisdom and understanding.
Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. 12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Pro 4:5
And finally the golden rule.
Mat 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
