Wickedness needs ignorance to survive and thrive. In the age of information, when divine knowledge is being released into the earth, ignorance not only remains present, it is encouraged and even rewarded.
Those who seek global power and total control of populations and the world’s resources at any cost need the ignorant in overabundance to guard against the possibility of resistance to the wickedness they wish to enforce.
However, regardless of the ways of the wicked and the proliferation of ignorance, the truth is still the truth, even if no one chooses to believe it. Equally, a lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it.
So, even when malice is used to attack the truth, ignorance may perhaps deride it, it remains steadfast to the very end. You can shut it out for a time, but it is steadfast and stubborn, and it will not go away.
Since the episode with Eve in the garden, the enemy has been working tirelessly in the trenches, convincing billions that there is no God and providing opposing reasons to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Truth often appears to be stranger than fiction; it decimates sin and certainly does not massage the lust of the wicked nor appeal to their perverse senses. The distinction between truth and falsehood is vast and prevalent on the information superhighway, known as the worldwide web, where many look past what is true and even rebuff it.
The notion that a Sovereign God created the heavens and the earth, formed humanity from mud, and continues to relate to His creation through His Holy Spirit is way beyond their feeble minds to comprehend or even accept.
They reject the fact that Christ was from the very beginning. He was with God, and He was God Himself. They cannot contend with the fact that He is very much alive and well and that all things were made and came into existence through Him, and without Him, not even one thing was made that has come into being.
It is easier for them to wrap their imaginations around a loud explosion coming out of nowhere that suddenly designed the order of the universe with all its intricate, infinite, and intelligent outlay.
Know this: ignorance sits precariously in very high as well as low places. It is in governments, academia, among the esteemed professionals, and well-sought-after communities as much, if not more than, it is in the ghettos.
Many in the well-educated classes dismiss the truth of God, choosing to believe in man-fashioned theories seeking to explain the world around them through their limited understanding. Many of these bespectacled misguided luminaries only seek God when they face major crises where man-made remedies cannot be found within the limits of science.
In the political space, state power and institutions promote public policies that ensure that the masses remain locked in cycles of ignorance as illiterate people are easier to mislead and are highly corruptible.
It is no wonder that public education systems in the majority of nations across the globe are starved of critical resources and state support. The outcome, after five years of learning in most cases, does not meet basic standards to ensure the advancement of the majority of students.
Public school systems, which are financed from tax dollars, cater largely to children of the poor, the underclasses, and the dispossessed. These institutions are never afforded what is required for the majority of students to excel.
While a small percentage of these students manage to break through the poor performance barrier and enter higher education, the majority are guaranteed a meagre existence on the fringes, never advancing beyond their socio-economic class or attaining professional white-collar status.
Jamaica’s public school system is a prime example of political and generational neglect. For decades, it continues to face the same set of challenges, including teacher shortages, a deficit in resources of all kinds, and a high dropout rate, especially among the boys. These institutions, for the most part, remain at the bottom of the chart, depicting the nation’s best and worst-performing schools.
A significant number of students in Jamaica perform poorly in basic English and mathematics, with one in three students failing these subjects on the CSEC exam. About 50,000 students in Jamaica sit the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) exams annually. Since the inception of CSEC, public schools in 2024 recorded the highest pass rate of 39%.
In the United States, nearly 50 million students are enrolled in public schools. The socioeconomic achievement gap in US public schools is a social issue pointing to abject poverty, insufficient funding, and lack of resources.
There are over 10 million pupils in government-supported schools across the United Kingdom. Only 28% of pupils in these institutions meet the higher standard in reading, 24% in math, and 32% in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
These schools provide manual and blue-collared labourers for the thriving economies in the US and the UK.
Many of these students get to voting age and join the masses of the under-educated, getting their information second- and third-hand, and participate in the electoral process primarily based on family tradition, imagined or promised political benefits, or corrupt coercion.
In these end times, as the beast system bears down, Satan is desperate to keep populations locked in ignorance, separated from the truth, which comes only from the Word of the True and Living God. Eternal death awaits those who are deceived and remain in the snare of sin unless they repent and come into the truth.
Unless the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached to the populations across the globe, regardless of academic attainment, professional status, or ideology, many will find themselves in hell fire.
Truth is not dependent on what people choose to believe. It is incontrovertible and comes through Jesus Christ. This is why the mission is in, with, and through Christ. The remnant must go into the world of the educated, the under-educated, the uneducated, and everyone else to spread the gospel so that souls can be saved before it is too late.
