Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:35
In the midst of His teaching on the Last Age, Jesus takes time to give a serious reminder about the word of God being more stable than the universe around us. Isaiah also commented on this same thought. There will come a day when the heaven and earth will be destroyed by God's command only to be recreated again without anything remaining which reminds one of this current sinful universe (Isaiah 34:4). Of this, that Apostle John said, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea (Revelation 21:1)." The Word will outlast all time, space, and matter. It is that unalterable rock upon which mankind can trust.
Why, then, did Jesus address the thought of the Bible being a solid, immutable foundation in His teaching on the end times? Surely, it had to be due to the many attacks against the word of God as well as addressing a time when many will compromise the word of God rather than stand firm in its veracity. Jesus understood that many would compromise the truth of God's word in a time of chaos and upheaval. The mastermind behind this would be Satan, himself. It is imperative to know the truth and to hold onto it tenaciously. Learn it! Live it! Love it! "Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding (Proverbs 23:23)." The Bible is well worth the investment of your life. Buy its truth with your life and do not sell short!
There is a method of changing men's mind that is employed by many daily. It has been a favorite tactic of many dictators and totalitarian regimes as well as advertisers, media outlets and more. The name of this tactic is the Hegelian Dialectic. It is a means of changing the minds of individuals or whole societies by creating dialogue between two opposite parties. The idea of proposed change is the thesis while its polar opposite becomes the antithesis. Conflict is then generated between the two opposing ideas in the hopes that compromises can be made--a compromise called a synthesis. In essence, some feel that it is order from created chaos. Hegel, a German philosopher, is not the father of this method. Satan used it first in the Garden of Eden.
God's word was clear! God's thesis was, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die (Genesis 2:17)." Now listen to the antithesis spoken by the father of lies, "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?... Ye shall not surely die: 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 (Genesis 3:1b, 4c, 5)." The mind of Eve is now in chaos. Satan's lie has created the desired effect in an attempt to cause a synthesis--compromise. Eve should have understood that GOD and His word are true and enduring. Her decision and the subsequent purposeful rebellion of Adam also created by the confusion brought about a synthesis we all are still dealing with.
Name a social issue: homosexual marriage, abortion, mandatory contraception, public displays of crosses, Constitutional rights, etc. It will be easy to find a vociferous antithesis to each one. Sadly, in the confusion that is created many are compromising their relationship with God and the truth of His word to follow after ever changing public opinion. Furthermore, it seems that the master architect of this lie is working behind the scenes creating this confusion for his own sinister reasons--a one world government, economy, and religion. Want proof? Read the following quotes taken from the UN friendly Aquarian Age Community. It is on a new one world religion:
"It is a challenge to discuss Spirituality at the United Nations. It is a challenge because most people will think that the UN is the antithesis of spirituality. I must report, however, that I regard the United Nations as the most spiritual place in the world today...The synthesizing energy for the world society is focused through the United Nations. It courses through the halls, through the meeting rooms, through the offices of the United Nations. Blessed are those who are fortunate enough to work there for they are in touch with a new reality in the process of descent and manifestation. Hundreds of thousands of applicants are turned away each year from those who want to work there-why? Basically, because they have heard the sound of humanity becoming whole and because they have sensed the new reality and have touched something of the energy of human convergence.”Did you catch the buzzwords? That is why we need a rock solid unchanging source of truth. That is why God gave the Bible and has proved its divine inspiration with infallible proofs. Believe it and don't compromise it. The Bible will outlast men's fickle moods! Trust it! Why? Jesus Christ is Soon2Come!
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Isaiah 40:8

Researchers have found that to change one's mind one simply needs to concentrate on the utility of a particular thought or belief rather than on it's veracity. This method produces very little resistance and focuses on the function that the thought or belief serves. For example: When a person turns to scripture for inspiration the truth is totally irrelevant to researchers as long as the resulting action/behaviour is achieved. Those that are weak or ill-informed are more easily influenced by the subtlety of the tactic.
ReplyDeleteWoodrow Wilson used this tactic to convince Americans to go to war with Germany after he made a speech saying that he will keep the US out of war. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao tse-tung all used similar tactics.
Chinese Party Leader Jian Zemin once said that Hillary Clinton was a master at it and that the Chinese Government can learn alot from her.
It has been argued that everyone can be influenced to some degree or another. This is indeed true. Everyone should be asking themselves what the over-riding influence is in their life; or as the verbositous researcher would say "what is the significant manifesting influence"? Mine is His Word.
In His Service,
