I remember many years ago, David Wilkerson mentioned that he felt the US had passed a tipping point of judgment with God when our space program launched us beyond the boundaries of earth and was named after pagan gods: Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, etc. This was in the 1960's. In the same period of time, prayer (at least Christian prayer) was outlawed in the public school system. A few years later we passed Roe v Wade, allowing for the mass murder of the unborn. (Go to worldnetdaily.com today and click on Molotov Mitchell's commentary about MTV promoting abortion for teenagers.) As life for the most innocent became worthless in our eyes, it created a national searing of our consciences. Nothing and no one is sacred. Our movies and televisions became flooded with every type of perversion. An article today posed the question of what homosexual couples are to call each other-who is the "husband", who is the "wife"? Even some so called "conservative" political commentators are accepting of homosexuality.There are no longer any absolutes of morality based upon the Scriptures.
Perhaps one of the scariest things that is being done now under the auspices of "science" is the genetic manipulation of crops, animals, and people. This is hitting at the very fabric of creation. An assault by man trying to be God Himself. Homosexual couples can request that a child they are having by surrogacy can be "coded" to have a homosexual gene, therefore having that tendency when it is born. DARPA, the research arm of the American military, is trying to create a "super soldier"-a genetically modified human with abilities far beyond a normal person. The transhumanist movement supports "humanity 2.0"-man redone as it were, with the ability to eventually live forever in a new body with an improved brain. All by the "miracle" of genetic modification and/or cybernetics. Some crops are being developed that produce sterility in those who consume them- to be given to the poorest countries for population control.
Another scientific project is being conducted at CERN in Switzerland. This is a huge "collider" that moves atoms at almost the speed of light, trying to find the "god particle" that may have been present at the creation of the universe. Some connected with the project also feel they will be able to open portals into other dimensions and they have no idea what will "come through" if this is achieved. It is very interesting to note that outside the buildings of CERN is a large statue of Shiva, the Indian god of creation and destruction. Now, why is a pagan god standing before this so-called scientific endeavor? I thought science was supposed to debunk religion! This shows the smoke screen that has been presented all these years. Of course they don't want to disprove God-they want to replace Him! Just as satan declared, "I will ascend to the sides of the north, I will be like the most High".
Does this all sound like science fiction? One hundred and fifty years ago, people would not have believed that man could fly or drive in vehicles at over 100 miles per hour either. Things are happening at such an increased pace. Along with the technological "advances" have come the moral "regressions". Why?
I put the blame on the church. In the late 1800's a movement was started called "higher criticism", which sought to bring the Scriptures into the "modern" age with so called relevancy. These scholars, both in Europe and America, retranslated the Hebrew and Greek documents that were the basis of the King James Bible, making many erroneous changes. (See "New Age Bible Versions" by GA Riplinger. Chuck Missler also has good teachings on the basis of the KJV versus modern works.) The modern "bible" versions are based on these newer documents. It will shock you to learn that many of these scholars were spiritists, anti-semites, or homosexuals. The seeds of the universalism that is so prevalent in so-called evangelical churches today were sown over 100 years ago! If you have no firm foundation of Scripture, then you have no moral foundation either. Then any biblical teaching can have many shades of grey, and applied any way you choose. I have seen several articles about homosexual people who say there is no Scriptural basis for saying that it is a sin or wrong in any way. One Christian singer who was popular in the 90's-Ray Boltz
I titled this "Tipping Points for God's Judgment". In reviewing all these horrible things (I didn't even mention genocide, famine caused by greedy rulers, etc), I wonder at times when it is all going to end and Jesus is going to come and rule. But I also read in Scripture that God gives as much time as is necessary for repentance-until the last one comes to the Cross. Isaiah prophesied over 100 years before the Babylonian captivity of Judah. But he said the fullness of their idolatry and unrighteousness had been reached already. There are so many extenuating circumstances-so many lives involved in the events of the world, that only God Himself can know when the perfect time for judgment is to be. And it is wonderful to be able to trust Him so completely that we can know that timing truly IS perfect. "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness: but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9
As I said in an earlier post-if we judge ourselves NOW, then future judgments can't touch us. If we walk in actual righteousness and holiness, then there will be nothing of God's wrath that will have any part in us. What "blessed assurance" that truly is! Just as these horrible events are accelerating, I believe the time of the final judgments is coming quickly as well. I pray for God to give me His eyes to see things as He does. Not to have "cloudy" vision influenced by the culture around me. To see sharply, clearly, truly.
