What The Bible Says About Suicide. Part [9] 02/24/2024 (Evening thought)

Nehemiah 5:4 There were also that said, we’ve borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.

Again, during the financial melt down of 2008 and beyond, Wall street executives took their own lives, as the cold realities of losing everything they put their money into, was found to be going up in smoke. It is one of the most successful snares of devils to cause persons to be straddled with insurmountable debt, for when this is the case, it could drive individuals to extremes.

[3] Deep depression, and suicidal thoughts can also be triggered by Cyber-bullying, Sextortion, Incest, or Sexual abuse as a minor, and these particular issues are scheduled to get a whole lot worse, especially with the introduction of artificial intelligence, as can be clearly observed with what recently took place with Taylor Swift.

Sextortion is the practice of putting sexually explicit videos or pictures of a person on the internet by an extortioner, who then seeks a ransom to take them back down. But with artificial intelligence now being able to add modified bodies of other persons to your face, and with so much of our personal information already in the public square, what we saw with Taylor Swift is just the tip of the iceberg.

2nd Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

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

What The Bible Says About Suicide. Part [8] 02/23/2024 (Morning thought)

Ecclesiastes 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

And so it was, that after all of his effort at procuring things, after all the laughter had subsided, and after all of the wine he had drunk had worn off, Solomon became extremely depressed, for his joy came from the wrong sources. And wherever this is the case, a person would be in serious danger of suicidal thoughts, since the utter disappointment with materials could drive one into severe despondency.

Ecclesiastes 2:18 Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. 19 And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity. 20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labor which I took under the sun.

[2] Depression and suicidal thoughts are sometimes triggered when individuals are overwhelmed with financial problems, with no end or any resolution in sight. Satan is determined to tighten the financial nooses of never-ending debts around the necks of persons, and if the situation is not corrected, it can cause one to think of suicide as the only way out. During the financial meltdown of 2008 and beyond, this is what actually took place on several different levels. On man, who had lost his house and his job, terminated his entire family of five including himself for in his mind he could see no viable way out of his dilemma.

Nehemiah 5:And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 3 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.

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