A world without work. Do you discern its coming, or do you think it’s a conspiracy theory? It’s taken millennia, but did you ever consider that the Devil has been deceiving mankind to believe that hard work is unjust? Throughout the course of my life I’ve heard many people’s complaints about hard work, even cursing it as unjust. But in the beginning “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them … [and said] Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth … Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it” (Gen. 1:27–28; 2:15). The truth is, having dominion over the living creatures God created and tending and keeping the Garden of Eden required work. But the “work” of Adam before the Fall of mankind was pleasant, because God’s curse had not yet come upon His creation which caused weeds, thorns and hard soil that had to be tilled, planted and the crops then harvested, all of which required hard difficult work.
By design, Tech, AI and robotics is transforming our world to be one with little to no work, the very thing that God mandated for mankind from the beginning when He first created humanity. After Adam and Eve sinned and all creation fell, God told Adam “In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; For dust you are, and to dust you shall return” (Gen. 3:19). But “the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19) who has, through man, been devising ways to cancel God’s command for man to work “In the sweat of your face”, to earn the bread by which to sustain himself and his family. The result? Many people have been deceived to despise hard work as something to avoid.
Consider God’s command for man to work “In the sweat of your face”, and then think of the events which, for millennia, have changed man’s work life to be less. And in these end-times there has been an explosion of knowledge, Dan. 12:4, which has allowed man to work less and less “In the sweat of your face”. Certainly, all this increased knowledge has done some good for humanity, but simultaneously it’s created a world of increased self-centeredness and isolation, faithlessness, lawlessness, wars and rumors of wars, lukewarm attitudes toward God and His Christ, laziness, entitled attitudes, mental illness, distrust, hatred, occasions for sin and more. Perverse and violent video games, fatherlessness, social media, alternate virtual realities and increasingly unchecked idleness in our youth have contributed to destructive group think that accounts hard work as something to be avoided, though it’s the seedbed of introspection.
I’m going to use an analogy which I’ve used many times because it makes the point well. My great-grandparents worked, married, birthed and raised children, made clothes, tilled soil and harvested the crops, traveled and lived much of life little different from the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in biblical times. Then, every hour of daylight was filled with producing what the family needed for days ahead, namely the coming winter. And children were involved in those processes. The family unit was wholly engaged. The family unit had structure and love. The family unit was not on medications for depression, anxiety and mental sickness like many today. The children weren’t latch-key kids more often than not fending for themselves in empty unsupervised homes. Today, despite our increased knowledge and tech, many family units and society are literally broken and in shambles, spiritually, physically, economically and socially. This too, the disintegration of the home and family unit, has been planned for many years.
Progressivism, knowledge and technology has largely allowed man to cancel God’s command to work “In the sweat of your face” which didn’t allow pernicious vacant time to be filled with “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16) which gives birth to all manner of evils. In those long lost days before modern industrial revolutions the family unit was much more preserved and united than today. Conveniences of progressive knowledge and Tech, AI and robotics for general life today are all contributing to less and less hard work and to make people dependent upon the governments for daily sustenance which is a physical, spiritual and social failure. Man was never intended to be dependent on the work of others for sustenance, but was created to be thankful for the ability to work hard, honor God, and earn his own daily bread.
God said that “If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat” (2 Thess. 3:10); and “In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty” (Prov. 14:23); and “He who is slothful in his work is a brother to him who is a great destroyer” (Prov. 18:9); and “Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need” (Eph. 4:28); and “The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich” (Prov. 13:4); and “He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich” (Prov. 10:4); and “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest; So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man” (Prov. 24:33–34). God’s word has much more to say about the benefits of hard physical work. Do you discern that knowledge, Tech, AI and robotics is doing all it can to eliminate hard physical work which is yet another sign of these end-times?
The world is moving toward the goal of no physical work. Hence, techs of AI and robotics are creating a world where, in the near future, 80% of people will be jobless. “He suggested that sectors once considered safe — from driving and logistics to accounting, software engineering, and even medicine — are likely to be swept up in the coming wave of automation.” And note especially that “A society where machines handle all productive tasks could drift toward a future in which humans become passive, sedentary consumers living for entertainment — a scenario he describes as ‘not conducive to human flourishing.’” [My bold emphasis] Warning: tech titans are already telling us what’s coming, yet many people are insatiably fixed on the next level of tech to make life easier and more convenient, but it’s a lie to further enslave people to the tech that will ultimately lead to “the image of the beast” (Rev. 13:15). And there are few, including few professing believers who discern this end-time truth. What will they do when they suddenly encounter restrictions that make buying and selling difficult? Will they then believe Jesus Christ?
The beast system is creating this joblessness to go mainstream, and in an effort to help people governments will issue a “Universal Basic Income”. It’s being tested even now because world leaders know that joblessness will become rampant. Tens of millions will be laid off from their jobs as tech titans seek AI/robot profits. What was science fiction fifty years ago is now reality. This has been planned for many years and is part of the end-times and it’s all about controlling people. Antichrist’s beast system is forcing people to conform to his NWO to control people in everything related to this life. It’s been a progressive process to which even most Christians are spiritually blind, and worse, many don’t care because they’ve been promised by Dispensational pastors that they’ll be raptured pre-tribulation though Christ clearly taught that His elect would be on earth for the seven-year tribulation. But who can persuade them to believe the Lord Jesus? A world without work is all part of the end-time goal, as a means for the elite to control “we the people”. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Won’t you believe Him?
If you do a computer search for the New World Order, most of the results will indicate that such a belief is a conspiracy theory. But of course, that’s what they, elite globalists, want you to think. Satan doesn’t want the truth exposed, that’s why truth requires biblical knowledge and Spirit-led discernment. I’m going to speak to fathers now; it’s your obligation in Christ to lead the family in truth and knowledge and to prepare your family for the end-times. It’s not the church’s job to do that. Nor is it your wife’s job, because God said you are the woman’s head, 1 Cor. 11:3. And besides, the church is bound up in traditions that silence the truth because leaders fear the people more than God and His Christ. But you, fathers, have a decision to make. Prepare your family in the love and truth of Christ and teach them how to endure to the end as Jesus taught or suffer the consequences of your unbelief. No one will be raptured pre-trib. Believe Jesus Christ or not. It may take another several years for all the pieces of the end-times to come together, but if you wait too long, rapidly unfolding tribulation events will suddenly seize upon and disorient you.
My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
