Our lack of knowledge begets the indulgences we let take our attention, and the consequences of abdicating our responsibilities are listed below. We are Nero, fiddling while Rome burns. Time has run out. We have been weighed in the balance and found wanting…
Hosea 4 (KJV)
Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
6 MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

A recent article regarding the Boston Children's Hospital exposes the authority the hospital takes to itself, arrogantly going beyond the boundaries of medical necessity into the realm of whether or not parents that disagree with them are worthy to have custody of their own children! This is only one of many examples regarding this type of abuse in current news articles. We expect to hear examples of abuse by our federal government, but it has spread into every institution in our country to include our schools and now our medical institutions. Reading the comments testifies of this. But, the comments are also disconcerting in that there are those who completely misunderstand the monstrosity of the current bureaucracy. I posted the Scriptures herein, because we have chosen to indulge ourselves in every sort of diversion not realizing that the diversions are allowed to us like so much candy. They become our only food and so make us sick, weak, and addicted to sugar. The normal course of life is to expect the responsibilities of adulthood, not to run from them. We find our mate, we parent children, and we prepare our offspring to do the same. None of this is possible when we choose to abort the mission. Literally. Let's remain children. Let the government father us, and mother us. Let them tell us what to think, what to believe, to understand that they alone are the answer to humanities' woes. Well, look at the outcome. We have reaped what we have sowed, and our children are sacrificed on the altar of our whims and lack of knowledge. Judgement is not coming...it is upon us.
