CITIES TO BE DESTRUCTION FOR KNOWLEDGE

Which would you prefer between these two underlisted against the other?:

■A■ — The earth full of technological advancements, great cities and great civilization, development everywhere etc., but there is no knowledge of God.

■B■ — The earth full of desolations, ruins, desertification, underdevelopment etc., but the earth is full of knowledge of the LORD as waters cover the sea.

Figure my answer from this Bible reference:

[2 Corinthians 10:3-6 FBV] — "Even though we live in this world, we don't fight as the world does. Our weapons are not of this world but God's mighty power that destroys fortresses of human thinking, demolishing misleading theories. Every high wall that stands tall and proud against the knowledge of God is knocked down. Every rebel idea is captured and brought into obedient agreement with Christ. When you are completely obeying Christ then we're ready to punish any disobedience."

Humanly speaking, no one should choose destruction or desolation over great developments and advancements. But here, Christianity is not humanity: we are not called to practice humanity or mortality, but called to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many have not fully grasped the difference between both. The first step into becoming born again Christian is to be alive outside your humanity and carnality. For that which is born of the flesh is flesh, but that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

As true disciples of the Lord, do not be quick to condemn any form of disaster or destruction that happens anywhere. The world would quickly condemn what they term as misfortune, calamity, disaster, damages, ruin or destruction; but disciples of the Lord would not be quick to condemn or even reject these things, but also they have no pleasure in them. They neither condemn nor approve any form of destruction on mankind or on the earth, but they do all in agreement with the Lord that if those destruction improve knowledge of the LORD on earth then they are worth happening.

As those with humanity, it's not good to see beautiful, great cities and things brought to ruins in any way; but as those with spiritual vision, it is even worse to see great and beautiful people, cities and riches, lacking knowledge of God. This is even more terrible among those who are the people of the LORD.

It's more bearable for a while that the non-people of God increase in wealth or riches, and cities, and technologies, etc, without knowledge of the LORD. But when that is the case with the people of God, it is much more terrible. So, supposing a pastor, bishop or prophet, works very well to move a people of God out of poverty and out of all afflictions, and successful established those people of God in prosperity, financial increase, wealth, estates and goodies of this life, but those people of God though wealthy do not have the requisite knowledge of the LORD - That pastor has done great works but all the works of that pastor shall end in vanity and destruction, for the things of the people of God he built shall still be destroyed for lack of Knowledge of the LORD. It is vengeance for having those things but lacking in knowledge of the LORD.

[Hosea 4:6 BSB] - "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children."

Do not build the house/people of God without knowledge: rather build the house/people of God through (by building) knowledge of the LORD:

[Proverbs 24:3-5 LBP] — "Through wisdom a house is built; and by understanding it is established; And by knowledge the inner chambers are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is better than a strong man; yea, a man of knowledge than a mighty man."

“Knowledge of the LORD” not the same thing as “Acknowledge the LORD.” What that said pastor may be doing to the people he built includes getting them to always acknowledge the LORD with their offerings, gifts, worship, praises, thanksgivings, attendance to church fellowships and meetings, and sharing testimonies to glorify the Lord, celebrations etc. All these are “Acknowledge the Lord,” but they are still not “Knowledge of the LORD.”

Cities and wealth built by the people of the LORD would be made desolate, not because they did not acknowledge the Lord enough, but because they must know the LORD enough even if that knowledge requires laying waste to the riches, wealth and prosperity of the people of God.

[Ezekiel 12:20 BSB] — "The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”"

[Ezekiel 12:20 LBP] — "And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall become desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD."

In this Main Bible verse in Red, the LORD told the man of God, that the inhabited cities of the people of God in Jerusalem shall be laid waste, and the land that was once their promised land shall become desolate, then their eyes will clear and they shall know “That I Am the LORD.”

When their social and financial securities are laid waste, and their possessions become desolate, businesses stricken, then they will have no more excuses for treating You the LORD as secondary Master after their primary or first master called Mammon, money, Jobs, Businesses, Schools/Exams, come first in their daily pursuits and attendance. Yes, if necessary, take away also their idols and the church buildings that they call the house of God, so that they would be more committed to the LORD of the House than to the House of the LORD.

[Mark 13:1-2 BSB] — "As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!” “Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”"
