For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses himself. Luke 9:25
What kind of time is — 2024? Something is going on, something sinister in the world. Seriously sinister. It reminds me of another time, in a way.
When my children were young they liked to watch a cartoon reminiscent of a present day threat–world domination. We hear about the the world organizations whether the WHO ( World health Organization ) or the IPPC ( the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ) or some of the other ‘sustainability organizations’. Some time ago, I read quite a lot about sustainability which in a one word explanation means–CONTROL.
In that aforementioned, now classic, cartoon ‘Pinky and The Brain’ the concept is illustrated quite simply and hilariously, as well. Pinky is like many of us interested in diversions like TV shows but cajoled into participating in the sinister plans of The Brain, a super intelligent scientist with Big Plans. Fortunately none of them come to fruition. As I recall, many of his attempts to control the world involve controlling the weather.
We might learn something from these cartoon episodes, applicable to such a time as this we are living in today. In the end the truth is: no one is able to control the world forever except the Creator, a far superior Intelligence.
