The Prediction of Division
“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
A little over two thousand years ago this prophesy was spoken by a man committed to teaching, professing and living the truth. Not a truth applicable to only one person or one group of people. No, this man was speaking about the natural laws that effect all mankind. All races of people and both genders are equal under these eternal laws. This simple man understood that people, when faced with the truth, would choose one of three ways to react to it; they would either accept it, reject it or ignore it. Despite the choice they would make, others in their life would choose to react in opposition to their decision causing unavoidable division.
The orator who declared this prediction knew that the truth must be made known and that the division coming from any disagreements were the prices that had to be paid. As a leaders by example, he himself would pay the ultimate price for speaking, thinking and acting on the truth but through his model the entire world changed accordingly. No longer would the truth be hidden from the masses and any dissension would have to be dealt with as resulting consequences.
Those words were first spoken long ago but consider the division in today’s society. The media claims we are more divided than ever before. If this is indeed a fact then could it be because we have people reacting in opposition to the truth others are trying to make known?
Take for example the headlines of today; “A Third Option for Gender”. Eleven States have voted to allow a gender neutral option on driver licenses. The scientific supported truth is that there are only two genders, male or female. There is no third option. Sure, people can chose to claim to be a male when they are a female and vice a versa but their DNA will always confirm their true gender. This will cause division naturally because people oppose lies especially when the country’s law making bodies create laws that contradict the truth.
Another example in the news; “Lawmakers Accused of White Supremacy”. All people are created equal under the natural laws. Whether your skin is black, white, red or yellow makes no difference to your talents, skills or abilities. The law of gravity doesn’t treat you differently, the laws of motion will affect your life the same as it affects mine. The truth will be equally fair with you and your neighbor, but as long as we continue to try to argue with the truth there will be division.
A third example is the immigrant crisis. Whenever our actions circumvent the law by definition we are doing something illegal. To call it anything else is a lie. Those who oppose the truth can’t change it by naming it something less threatening; undocumented alien. The truth will still remain and as will the division.
The silly thing about division, it all boils down to selfishness. We want what we want and the truth doesn’t matter when we are being selfish. Division will end when we all want the truth even when it goes against our personal desires. The fact is people live in the truth, we will never be able to change or control it.

If this is my last post, I want all to know there was only one purpose for all that I have written; to have made a positive difference in the lives of others.
