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 individual choice they make, others in their life would also have the same three choices to make and when their react is in opposition to that of their friend or family member’s decision; unavoidable division will occur.
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 thinking, speaking, and acting on the truth and through his model the entire world changed accordingly. No longer would even the fear of death be a reason for the truth to be hidden from the masses and any dissension would have to be faced head on and 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 the facts, then could it be that half the people, are bravely reacting in opposition to the lies the other half are trying to make known as the truth?
Take for example the headlines of 2019; “A Third Option for Gender”. Eleven States have voted to allow a gender neutral option on driver licenses. The scientifically supported truth of humanity 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 was sure to cause division naturally because sane people oppose lies, especially when the country’s law making bodies create man-made laws that contradict the natural 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 body 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 laws of this country; 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 simply naming it something less threatening; such as undocumented migrant. The truth will still remain, as will the division cause by people making their own choice of either accepting, rejecting, or ignoring the truth.
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 choosing to be selfish. Division will end when we all want the truth, even when it goes against our personal desires. The fact is, the truth never changes, and people will never be able to change or control it; even when they reject or ignore it.
