Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”
Today, we will be discussing some part of the vision King Nebuchadnezzar had as detailed in the book of Daniel second chapter.
Daniel 2:32 ” This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33: His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34: Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35: Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”
For today blog, our focus will be on verse 43
Daniel 2:43: “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”
I would like to point your attention to “they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men”
There has been lots of “possible” explanations as who the “they” are.
Some interpret the iron and clay mixed empire as the Roman empire,
And the royal family mixing with other European royal family.
But all these families are of human seed.
It is clear from the text that “they” are not human or made up of clay.
In history , the only time that human seed mingled with other is, in Genesis
6:2 ” That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.”
And the product was Nephlim which can be translated as giants or fallen.
The other clue is , during the time that the iron and clay mixed empire is ruling, the Kingdom that God of Heave set up, crashes it, and controls the earth.
Now lets looks in to another subject that is getting more popular by the day- transhumanism.
As per extract from an article, which I have attached below. (The highlight is mine)
“Transhumanism, or h+, is a philosophical current that began to take shape in the middle of the 20th century, and its main objective is to enhance and improve all human faculties, both physical and cognitive. It even aspires to eliminate the biological limits of humanity through technological implantation in the organism.
Firstly, this theory bases human evolution on technology. Therefore, man can only improve, increase and enhance his physical and cognitive qualities if he adopts technological and scientific advances in his organism, such as nanotechnology, genetic engineering, cybernetics, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
This philosophy claims that humans can change, dominate, and override natural events such as old age, guilt, suffering, and even death. Furthermore, they believe that man can transform his morphology, choosing between various options for the propagation of the species. Some of the transhumanists go so far as to talk about the possibility of leaving aside the human body by transferring all the “information” contained in each individual into a computer.
This thinking is only concerned with the future, leaving aside the past and the present. It also attempts to overcome cognitive aspects such as social skills, memory, concentration and intelligence, and physical aspects such as death.”
There are some people dedicated to making man have extra cognitive abilities, getting rid of disease through genetic engineering, and possibly evading death.
I forsee a future that humans would be told or rather deceived to have their genetics altered so they can have knowledge, avoid sickness or disease, even death.
Doesn’t these remind you of what happened in the garden of Eden?
The Serpent told Eve if she eats the forbidden fruit
” Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5
We know very well that was a lie.
Now, we are being told that genetic engineering can prolong life. Some even say it can keep you from dying.
(This may mean your seed or DNA gets mixed with other)
God’s word tells us that there is no life apart from Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:12: “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
I would like to point out, “the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham.”
(Mixed seed of human with other will not qualify for redemption through the blood of Jesus.)
And if anyone is looking to have that excessive knowledge that is being promised from brain chip insert or implant, in Christ is also wisdom and knowledge, as written in
Colossians 2:3 “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
If we know these truths, we won’t be like ‘children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.’ Ephesians 4:16.
I believe now is the time we study God’s word and live accordingly.
We should love and hold the Truth, and it will set us free from deception.
Now is the right time to foster a very close relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:5: “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”
Shalom.
