THE REVAMPING OF
SOCIETY
INTRODUCTION
The revamping of society is bringing about changes that will not enhance but rather bring destructive measures. We are seeing a flood of immorality in a society that has cast aside "What thus saith the Lord" towards the carnal side of man; walking away from the spiritual side of man, that once prevailed.
The Apostle Paul wrote: This know that in the last days (which we are in) perilous times shall come; men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous (money lovers), boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent (without self control), fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady (reckless), highminded, lovers of pleasures more (rather) than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away (2 Timothy 3:1-5). A form of godliness is mere religion without power or spiritual life.
The Revamping of Society
A Permissive Day
We are seeing perilous times due to walking away from God's instructive Word; with the church failing to promote its precepts (entirety) to those under its influence. It was noted that we are living in a very permissive day when the religious world is tolerant to most any and all kinds of of standards and lifestyles.
This permissiveness and tolerance is the result of a self-willed and carnal minded society. As a result of such tolerance and permissiveness, there are many churches, and even denominations, which have altered their interpretations of the Scriptures to please, to comply with and accommodate this permissive and tolerant society. Very few this day hold to their heart's convictions; they change to blend in with their environment.
Challenge of Social and
Moral Behavior
The laying down of the Law of God was not popular for God's prophets! It was noted that it had to be difficult for the prophet Jeremiah always having to be the bearer of bad news, and always being rejected. Jeremiah was continually mocked by the people for bringing nothing but words of condemnation. Jeremiah's words enraged the people; he challenged their social and moral behavior, held his ground and was not afraid to give them unpopular criticism.
The revamping of society to suite the taste of man will bring popularity to those promoting ungodliness; while those proclaiming the truths of God's Word suffer reproach. We are living in a time proclaimed by the prophet Jeremiah, in speaking the words of the Lord, saying: Were they ashamed when they committed abomination (ungodliness), no they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush, therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit (punish) them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord (Jeremiah 6:15).
The revamping of society has opened the door towards ungodliness being accepted with no regard towards consequences for having done so. Ungodliness will continue unabated unless realization comes into focus through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, without reservation.
They Will Not Endure
Sound Doctrine
A man was asked: If given an hour to explain the Gospel to someone, how would you do so? He said he would spend the first fifty minutes on the bad news of judgment and then the last ten minutes on the good news of salvation, because without the context of judgment one would not appreciate or even understand salvation.
The Apostle Paul told Timothy, a young evangelist, that a time would come (which we are in due to the revamping of society) they (the people) will not endure (hear) sound doctrine; but after their own lusts (ungodly desires) shall they heap (in abundance) to themselves teachers; having itching ears (a desire to hear such) they shall turn away their ears (hearing) from the truth, and shall be turned into fables (that which is fictitious) (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
Dominate and Control
The revamping of society has become contagious in many ways; one such way is the wealthy and powerful elite coming together to dominate and control society to facilitate power and control, identifying itself as "The World Economic Forum (WEF)" which was founded in 1971, and is hosting meetings every year in Switzerland to promote its proposed lifesaving plans for the Planet Earth.
WEF is supported by a vast international network of state and corporate leaders towards its global vision of the future. It utilizes global crisis, such as COVID-19, towards control and domination of every aspect of humanity, seeks a one world government, which is a prelude to the realm of the Antichrist.
The Apostle John wrote: It is the last time (hour): and as you have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time (hour) (1 John 2:18). It was noted that the Antichrist is the ultimate opponent of God, that of God's plans, and God's people.
Attempt to Dethrone
God from Society
We are seeing Marxism and Socialism, cousins to Communism, sweeping many lands, to dethrone God were it possible. It was noted that any country grounded in Christian values cannot be overthrown until those roots are cut, to change culture (the revamping of society), a long march through the institutions is necessary.
Goals of Marxism and Socialism include: Discredit family as an institution, control the schools to facilitate the revamping of society; eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them violation of free speech and free press, break down the cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography in books, magazines, motion pictures, and TV.
Promote homosexuality as normal, natural, and healthy, infiltrate the press, gain control of key positions in government, radio, TV, and motion pictures, infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion and discredit the Bible.
A New Monetary
System
The revamping of society is being threatening through the monetary system being replaced by a digital currency that ushers in future control of the masses. It was noted that by such means governments can confiscate secretly and unobserved an important part of the wealth of its citizens. There is no greater means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch its currency.
The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which no man in a million is able to diagnose (John Maynard). We are seeing deception in the making; as man seeks to control and dominate, by every means possible, towards a one world order.
Avoid Society Evils
Scripture gives warning concerning social evils: And with many other words did he (Luke) testify and exhort, saying, save yourselves from this untoward (crooked) generation (Acts 2:40). The Apostle Luke was warning of a perverse generation of men in whom wrath and ruin would fall; to separate from them, to not partake of their sins, ways of life, but rather come out from among them.
The revamping of society requires a separation from evil by choice. The Psalmist cried out: Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly (wicked), nor stands in the ways of sinners (not to be entertained in their ways), nor sits in the seat of the scornful (hateful) (Psalm 1:1).
It was noted that the ungodly are those who by nature practice ungodliness, without fear of God, and are at enmity against (oppose) Him. They have cast about in their minds schemes, and contrived ways to accomplish their desired (ungodly) purposes; even consulting together (with others in like manner) to accomplish their ill-convinced plans.
Counsel of the Ungodly
One is not to hearken to the counsel of the ungodly; not to give into it, agree with it, pursue it, nor act upon it. The ungodly ways is a life of sin, choosing to be a part of it, a way of darkness, a crooked path, and a road that leads to destruction and death. Scripture reveals: The wages of sin is death (spiritual and physical); but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ as our Lord (Romans 6:23).
It was noted that the ungodly are proud and haughty, proud of their natural abilities, knowledge and wisdom, honors and riches, their own righteousness and despise those who do not run in the same excess. Happy is the one who does not keep company with such; nor associate with them, nor approve of their dispositions, words, principles, or actions.
Truth Shall Make
You Free
Jesus said to those Jews which believed on Him: If you continue (abide) in my word, then are you my disciples (believers) indeed: And you shall know the truth, ad the truth shall make you free (from the revamping of society as well) (John 8:31-32).
Many today do not have such an advantage; being deceived by flowery words that hid the truth, but with just enough truth to make falsehoods appear acceptable! We are seeing many nourished by the mainstream and social media; being mislead towards a walk outside of God's Word; with the possibility of losing out in a far greater way, unless they come to know the truth.
Scripture reveals: Hell has enlarged herself, and opened her mouth (a bottomless pit) without measure; and their glory and their pomp (earthly gain), and he that rejoices (in such gain) shall descend into it (Isaiah 5:14). There is a heaven to gain (believers that have come to Christ as their Lord and Savior), and a Hell to shun. It would benefit any person to search out the truths of God's Word towards salvation of the soul and a heavenly gain!
