Spiritual Versus Secular Modes Of Thought Part [8] 10/26/2026 (Morning thought)

1st Kings 18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubles Israel? 18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.

In fact, with all the various upheavals in nature, wars, pestilences, and national and international unrest taking place, you will never hear on CNN, or Fox News that it’s Biblical end time prophecies taking place. You will never hear that. Some will blame Putin and other persons in the seat of power, some may credit it to global warming, others may complain that too much divisiveness is roiling the country.

But there is no link being made, between what God says in His word, and what is happening globally. To the secular mind, it’s anything but prophecy that is being fulfilled. And with that world view, solutions that are secular in nature will be sought after. Thus, if a certain man is giving trouble, the secular way of fixing the problem is to put in a different man in the driver’s seat. God is trying His best to get our attention, but we’re not listening.

And because of this, we would keep on jumping from man to man, until we learn the lesson that man cannot fix our problems, for we’ll just end up with a different set of man problems. In the case of Jezebel, she believed the man was the problem, and because of her secular perspectives, she blames the man, and ultimately seeks to get rid of the man, because as far as she is concerned, and as far as her views of science go, there is absolutely no link between the drought and disobedience.

1st Kings 19:And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Spiritual Versus Secular Modes Of Thought Part [7] 10/26/2026 (Evening thought)

Genesis 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there anymore be a flood to destroy the earth.

Genesis 9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations. 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth….. But the secular mind does not believe, and based on the perspectives they hold, commensurate action is sure to follow.

Observe carefully the reasons given for building the tower of Babel because as we stated earlier, the secular and the spiritual are at odds…. [Patriarchs & Prophets pp 119] One object before them in the erection of the tower was to secure their own safety in case of another deluge. By carrying the structure to a much greater height than was reached by the waters of the Flood, they thought to place themselves beyond all possibility of danger.

And as they would be able to ascend to the region of the clouds, they hoped to ascertain the cause of the Flood…. Here it is again, the same strong spirit of unbelief by which the spiritual and the secular become opposed to each other. Jezebel blatantly refuses to believe that her sins and that of the nation is what brought on the devastating famine. Like with the people in Noah’s day, the go to cause is mostly global warming.

Genesis 11: 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
