Is mankind pushing the Limits
with God? Are we going too far, and are we testing His patience to a place that
we may soon regret? There were times recorded throughout scripture when God
came to the end of His patience and He brought judgment or calamity upon
different nations and peoples…and He even destroy the whole world at one time,
because of the people’s arrogance and pride.
And Friends, I firmly believe
that we are headed into one of those times very soon! Humanity is definitely
pushing the limits with God on many levels, and I believe that He is about to
do something overwhelming that will bring mankind to his knees…and when He
does, it’s guaranteed that we will see His power and glory.
And at that time, there will be
no mistaking the fact that God is sovereign over the nations, and His Plan will
prevail. So stay with me to the end of this video as I share 4 different ways that
I believe that we have been testing God’s authority, and why He is quickly
coming to the end of His patience with mankind. And when that happens, we will
experience the results of His judgement. Let’s get started:
When you
begin to read the Bible, you don’t get very far into the book of Genesis before
you find that God’s authority was tested when Adam and Eve disobeyed Him in the
Garden of Eden. And when they sinned against God, swift judgement came upon
them, and they were shown that the authority of God is real. And then, as time
went on, and mankind became more and more wicked, you find that God again brought
judgement against them when He caused a great flood to come upon the earth which
destroyed all of mankind except for Noah and his family, because people had
become extremely evil upon the earth. Genesis 6:6 records “And the Lord
was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”
And
after the flood, God’s instructions to Noah’s family was this, “Be
fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.” (Genesis 11:1) Well, as it turns out, soon the
people found a comfortable place to live, and they forgot about God’s command,
and they began to devise a different plan for themselves. Genesis 11:4 records
that they said to one another, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and
a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we
be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” So because they
had once again disobeyed God and began to thwart God’s plan for mankind, God
said, “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they
may not understand one another’s speech.” So the Lord scattered them abroad
from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.”
(Genesis 11:7-8)
What
we find in scripture is that over and over mankind has rebelled against God and
they have stood in opposition to everything that God had planned for His
Creation, and over and over we find that God brought judgement upon people and
nations because of their rebellion.
And now, here we are in 2025, and somehow
people think that we are the exception. We do and say things that are totally
contrary to God’s Word and His direction for mankind. We challenge God’s order
of Creation and His plan for the world, and somehow we think that He will be
okay with that and that He will not judge the things that we do and put a stop
to the destruction that we are bringing upon the earth. But Friends…let me
assure you…God is NOT okay with the things that people are doing, and He WILL
bring it to a stop. And when He does, I promise you, the world will KNOW Who is
in control over the things that take place upon the earth.
So
let’s look at a few of the methods that many people are working on that will
most assuredly bring God’s judgement upon the world because of their arrogance
and rebellion against a Holy and Righteous God and His Word.
Transgenderism – This involves the physical
alteration of a person's sex organs through surgical procedures and medication
in an attempt to change their gender from the one that God created them with.
In Genesis, the Bible clearly states that God created two distinct genders—male
and female—each with specific physical features designed for unique functions
within humanity.
It's essential to recognize that God, as the
Creator, intentionally designed our bodies with a purpose. Attempting to
manipulate His creation to perform in ways contrary to His intent goes against
His divine design and is, in a sense, a disregard for God's order. As mere
humans, it's audacious to believe that we have the right to alter God's created
order.
God not only designed our bodies to fulfill
our individual purposes but also commanded us to go forth and multiply.
Altering the natural functioning of our bodies is not only an insult to God but
also elevates our understanding above His, implying that we know better than
the Creator Himself. Such arrogance is unlikely to go unaddressed by God for
long, and He will intervene to restore His intended order.
Transhumanism
– Defined by the National Library of Medicine on the NIH Website, rejects
traditional human limitations like death, disease, and other biological
vulnerabilities. It encompasses the use of technology and scientific
advancements such as genetic engineering, cryonics, artificial intelligence
(AI), and nanotechnology to enhance human capabilities and improve the overall
human condition. In essence, Transhumanism aims to create a
"super-human" species immune to illness, unyielding in vitality, and
impervious to death—exceeding the known mental and physical abilities of
humanity.
Interestingly,
this aspiration aligns with the original creation by God, where humans were
initially designed to be free from sin and have eternal life. However, our
first Ancestors relinquished this state by disobeying God and partaking of the
"tree of knowledge." Essentially, Transhumanism seeks to develop a perfect
species of humans who are capable of living forever without repentance from sin
while avoiding the judgment of death imposed on humans due to sin.
Biological
and Genetic Manipulation – This encompasses a wide array of possibilities,
including cloning, DNA manipulation, stem cell production, and altering the
impact of various diseases on our bodies. Recently, the FDA has greenlit a
groundbreaking product known as Neuralink, a brain implant designed to
interface with computer capabilities, aimed at restoring normal brain function
in cases like blindness or brain injury. While these advancements are primarily
aimed at aiding individuals, it's important to recognize the potential for
misuse, leading to the manipulation and control of human beings, effectively
elevating oneself to a place of god-like capabilities.
Consider the
fervent discussions surrounding cloning when the first cloned animal, Dolly the
sheep, emerged. The prospect of human cloning was fervently debated, with
scenarios envisioned where individuals could seek to replicate loved ones lost
tragically. While regulations have been implemented to curb such practices, the
possibilities are limitless when it comes to manipulating human genes and DNA.
If this technology is used irresponsibly, scientific breakthroughs could
irrevocably alter humanity, paving the way for the creation of a new breed of
individuals endowed with superhuman strength, intellect, and abilities far
surpassing the ordinary.
Artificial
Intelligence – The landscape of technology has witnessed unprecedented
growth in recent years, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the forefront of
this exponential expansion. While AI has existed for quite some time, it has
permeated our lives through various mediums such as Siri, Google, and even the
predictive text features on our smartphones. From Smart TVs to self-driving
cars, the integration of AI has become increasingly prevalent.
However, the
paradigm shifted dramatically in recent years with the introduction of AI that
possesses cognitive capabilities, allowing it to engage in independent thought
and communication. Tools like ChatGPT exemplify this evolution, revolutionizing
tasks that once demanded extensive research and time. Today, AI can generate
images based on textual or verbal descriptions, craft brief videos in mere
seconds, and even replicate individuals with striking accuracy, sparking a
global race to develop the most advanced and human-like robots.
The potential of
AI knows no bounds, yet it raises profound questions about its implications. As
AI surpasses human intelligence, concerns emerge about its impact on the job
market and the fundamental structure of society. The looming uncertainty
revolves around the possibility of AI becoming superior to humanity itself.
Could we be looking toward a future where AI dominates the world and poses an
existential threat to mankind? This is the question that even some of the most
brilliant minds are asking without having a definite answer.
Furthermore, there
is much speculation regarding the possibility of malicious or evil exploitation
of AI by individuals with sinister motives, which could bring about the
fulfillment of prophecies found in the Book of Revelation. So, the question we
need to be asking is could AI be used as a tool to bring about global
domination and control, such as the scenario we see in the Bible? The
uncertainty surrounding these inquiries concerning the rapid growth of AI is
sparking a lot of speculation about its role in shaping the future of humanity.
And so…back to our original
question… Is mankind pushing the Limits with God? I believe we are very close
to experiencing the vision that John the Apostle saw on the Isle of Patmos in
the book of Revelation. I would encourage you to read and study what God’s Word
has to say about the direction we are headed, and it’s possible consequences in
the future.
But what about you? What do you
think about where Technology is headed and what the future may hold? Please
leave your comments below because I would love to know what you think.
And so until I see you here next
time…you have a Jesus-filled week. God bless you…bye for now.
