i should have started reading this thread when it was started. i read a lot of thoughts that resonate with where i am, and what i have been saying for years. how fascinating to watch the declarations made by The Father through His prophets come to fruition.
one of those declarations has to do with the increase in knowledge. within our lifetimes, the rate of increase in information has been staggering. i heard, or read something relatively recently related to the volume of information that is produced daily that indicates that it is exponentially greater than that which was produced in all the prior years (i want to say in recorded history, as far fetched as that may seem).
the thing that i continue to point out, or the question i ask of my blinded family and friends, who are amazed at all the whiz bang technology; what has all this knowledge and technology done to truly provide the things we crave? we desire intimacy, as it is fundamental to our creation. there is an app that allows people to engage in sexual activity without real relationship being involved. so now people have more access via technology to sexual liasons, but there is less real intimacy developed as a result.
i am an information technology guy. i work in an i.t. capacity, and have done so for years. i am no technophobe, but, i continue to think about the words in ecclesiastes: “Ecc 3:13 And, moreover, anyone of •humanity, That he should eat and -drink and -see good ifrom all his toil, It is a gift of Elohim.” CLT. the ability to enjoy what we have been given is a gift from The Almighty. it is not dervived from a 75” 4k smart television with all the cable channels available, nor any of the other nonsense that is pitched as “life changing” tech.
we can be thankful to our Creator for the mercy that He has expressed in our lives, that we have the awarenesses that He has given us, and comforted by those same awarenesses knowing that what we are observing is according to His will, and will end with this evil age.
