I am, My name is, and this is Me. The three pillars of self. And a chord of three is not quickly broken.
Our life is centered upon self, and that is an undisputable fact made all too obvious as observed through the choices we make. We have all been told to stop being selfish, but that is an impossibility, and even more so in today’s society, because the preservation of self is the preservation of life as we know it. The soldier dodges the bullet to preserve his life. The doctor performs open-heart surgery to preserve a life. The bullied school boy fights back to preserve his standing, and on it goes. We are taught that preservation of life is a never-ending battle to keep self upright and alive. Which one of you reading this right now would willingly take the bullet for a perfect stranger? For the beggar on the sidewalk? Or the zombie addict being beaten by a group of young thugs? Or to step between a knife and the woman with a baby stroller? Perhaps a good man or woman may but the truth is, very few would do that. To risk their lives for someone they know nothing about, and the five physical senses play a crucial role in in the decision making to either apply or reject self’s involvement.
I oftentimes wonder what a person would do knowing that death would be the outcome if they were to involve themselves in a situation where self is put on the line. If they knew that they were in the process of dying themselves from a disease, would they willingly go to the outer limits to preserve a life other than their own? It would take a very unique character, and immense fortitude to take that step, to willingly offer themselves for another. On the big screen, heroes and heroines are a dime a dozen and richly rewarded based upon their acting skills as professional liars and deceivers for the general public. Soldiers, on the other hand have proven themselves over eons ready to pay the highest price, and on many occasions, to preserve even the life of their foes at the cost of their own. War has its moments of compassion and mercy too.
But today, 2024, I am witnessing a terrible thing, and it’s called the illusion of self among this generation of the most self-aggrandizing adults in the history of our republic. I have never seen such absolute blatant liars who are so infatuated with themselves that they are no longer able to differentiate between evil and good, right and wrong, left and right, truth or fiction, male and female, God and devil. They have no moral compass to guide their actions, no regrets about causing harm to others, a willingness to sacrifice others without remorse, and to demand pay for work that they refuse to do. This generation will be the one to push this nation into the cauldron of madness from which there is no hope of return to normalacy. Look at the presidential race in this country and the listen to the words spewing out of the mouths of the political pundits and it is pure filth, lies and an abundance of seething hatred, and even wishing to see acts of murder, violence and rape perpertrated upon political opponents! This is the most vile generation to have ever issued forth from the wombs of those that bare them. And they are the leaders and future leaders of this nation? They are the ones to send lives into war? They will be the ones to further the financial ruins. They are the ones who will usher in poverty and strip away all vestiges of good. This generation will go down in infamy as the perpetrators of ruinous works and decadence on a level unheard of in our times. This is the generation of lovers of self, living in the bowl of illusions and self-importance, and willing to throw away your lives to save their own. This is the generation of self-seeking cowards who think that they know what is best for you, but in truth, all they know is evil and the love of self, and no tolerance of others opinions.
The illusion of self-importance is an intoxicating drug that is extremely flammable and contagious, and is succesfully spread abroad through the use of media and organizations who use these people as literal cannon fodder in their violent activist protests, as poltical poodles hamstring the law to further on the chaos while they sit back and line their pockets from dividens. And what has become to be the most stunning is the complete lapse of critical thinking among those screaming the most diabolical rhetoric of all! They have, by all appearences, lost the most basic foundation of human intelligence, sound reasoning. In layman’s term, zero common sense, and an abundance of pure stupidity, and have given themselves over to evil on a level never before seen in America. And they love it it!
In the Bible there is a letter written to the believers in Rome by an apostle of the Lord Jesus, his name was Paul, and he wrote most descriptively the downward march into madeness when man refuses to acknowledge God. Wise men and women would do well to read his words and take them to heart. We are that generation spoken of by the Lord Jesus in his last-day prophesies, in the words the apostle John wrote in his letter known as Revelation, and in the writings of Peter, James, and Jude. This generation is the very one described, not the past ones from the previous generations but this one. This one is the absolute lovers of self. This generation are the illusionists of our times, and the ones who will help to usher in the most tyrannical government in the history of mankind.
I was watching a video of Space X and Musk’s visions for the future and how great a visionar he is to millions of devoted followers, and his great wealth. But the short film overlooked a small but very important detail, Musk is only a man of flesh and blood, and he, as all men, will one day die, leaving his immense wealth to others as they divide his empire amongst themselves. Read the book of Ecclesiastes to understand the truth contained in the words, all is vanity. I read of the future of AI in all things, particularly of flight and weapons of destruction. Has it occured to anyone that AI lacks human emotions and therefore cannot make a decision based on mercy or kindness? An enemy is to be eliminated, regardless of whether they have raised hands or raised weapons, and there is no difference between armed combatants or civilians found in the area of battle. Now take that and create an image to be worshipped and you have the image of the beast ready to slay without mercy. This is the future of mankind under the rule of the futuristic technocrats of whom Musk and others like him are swiftly developing. Again, think on the brain and neural networks integrated with artificial intelligence, robotic medical assistants, driverless automobiles, and crushing environmental laws to restrict your ablility to travel. But not the elites who will become your overlords for a short but terrifying time. They will have abundant use of travel, weapons, and have no shortage of food, drink and property while yours will be authoritively stripped away as serfs in the middle ages. There is nothing new under the sun. You will have no freedoms other than the ones assigned to you as deemed neccessary, and your moves and actions and very soon your thoughts will all be under the watchful control of the techocrats and their engineered assistants.
Now, you may be thinking that this is nonsense, but I can assure you that what I am writing is true because the Bible has laid out the sequence of events that will take place as the wrath of God begins its series of global punishments upon a hardened race of sinful mankind. But instead of repenting, mankind will become worse, more evil, more violent, more decadent, more God-hating, continuing to worship demons under the guise of all religions, except for the true worshippers of Jesus Christ. Christians who follow not the Lord but the teachings of men are no bettter than those who worship false gods. Have you counted the cost of being a disciple yet? Now is the time.
Men have become lovers of self, and if you can’t see that happening, then you can’t see at all. Men have become fascinated with themselves; they have swallowed the Descarte Lie, followed after demons posing as gods, thrown themselves upon the funeral pyres of lust, gathered weapons of violence, creatures of physical strength but lacking emotional empathy, proud and arrogant, despisers of good, haters of God and disrespectful to parents and vomiting pure hatred upon the land that gave them a home. This is not the home of the free and the brave anymor, but has become a land filled with vermin frothing at the mouths with minds seared as with a hot iron. And this filth is being exported to the whole world so that even the enemies of America are greatly astonished as she stumbles and reels as a drunk, dissapearing into the darkness of the night.
The illusion of self-importance is just that, an illusion, and the same goes for the millions of professing Christians as they weave and believe the fairy tales they think can save them from the wrath to come. But they too will learn to their great horror that the lies they believed will deliver them up to captivity to those seeking their lives because of the hatred that sinful man has against Jesus Christ and those who call themselves his disciples. And again, I must ask, have you counted the cost, and are you willing to lay down your lives for the gospel’s sake? You need to make sure that you understand what is at stake here and it is eternity. This life we live is only temporary at best, and all flesh is corrupt and will break down and decompose back into the earth. And the soul that sins shall die in the lake of fire for eternity. You have only two choices to make that will decide your future: life with Christ or death with the devil. Everything else is just an illusion that self creates, a thinly veiled curtain between you and eternity. Choose wisely.
I remain a brother to those in Christ Jesus.
