We all have evil thoughts from time to time. They seem to just pop into our head at the strangest times. How can we overcome those thoughts? How can this be applied to the End Times? Let's examine some strategies that people use to control their thoughts.
Humility
Humility is such an asset when dealing with the works of the flesh. Humility is the opposite of ego. Humility let's you question your thoughts, actions and intentions. Humility helps you recognize true weakness and correct a failed path. One who walks away from a disagreement with humility does way better than one who walks away with ego.
Ego & Pride
Ego keeps one in ignorance and let's one believe that they do no wrong. Pride and ego go hand in hand. Arrogance is believing that one is right all the time and that it is impossible to be wrong or mistaken. Surely, you can think of many examples where this is unwise or even dangerous. Cults are a lot like this.
The Blindness is Real
Ironically, the blindness of ego & pride are real. The person that cannot see past their ego never make good friends or mates. They live in a blind prison where only their thoughts and feelings matter. The commandments of God are the furthest thing from their minds, the Ministry of Yeshua does not matter to them. They are a slave to their own imaginations.
Recognize The Weakness
There is a saying, "To Hit Rock Bottom". One of the best things that we can do in life is to fail miserably. This is where real freedom is found and where the truth can be heard and digested. Hopefully, the foundation of your life is "Rock Bottom" the core of our being is God. Stripping off all pride, ego, anger, will help one recognize this.
The Great Tribulation
What if the Great Tribulation that Yeshua spoke of is not what we imagine it to be? For example a while ago I made a post, What could be better than intelligence? Mankind thrive on intelligence, don't they? But their intelligence has made it possible to decimate them all! Is the threat intelligence? Is this the cause of the Great Tribulation that Yeshua spoke of? The thoughts of man are evil all the time as the Scriptures has pointed out. Now they are creating super intelligence with machines; some good and some evil. People have said this will make nuclear look like child's play.
The Intelligence Threat
The super intelligence threat is real because mankind are evil, greedy, and full of ego and pride. In fact Yeshua said that if these days were not shortened, NO flesh would be saved, but on account of the elect, those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:22). We can surely link the end times with an increase in intelligence.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12:1-4
Look at this closely. At the same time that intelligence will be a threat, it will be a blessing to those who know how to use it.
Effect Of Intelligence Increase
There is no doubt that intelligence is being increased expedientially. Yet, we see clearly that there are 2 different types of people using this intelligence. The humble and meek; and the prideful and arrogant. At the same time this intelligence will create trouble because of the works of the flesh; it will also give the meek insight of their salvation through Yeshua the Messiah!
The Path of No Return
We are heading down the path from which there is no return. The End Times prophesied in the Scriptures are here! The same super intelligence that gives us hope is the same that threatens us because it is in the hands of the wrong people. Super intelligence belongs to the meek, humble and kind, it does not belong to the greedy, arrogant and prideful. Welcome to The Great Tribulation!
Shalom Shalom
