The End of this Material Civilization
What we can plainly see in the Bible is the fight between God and Satan. The Gospels are the reports of the fight between Christ Jesus as the Son of God and Satan.
God expected human beings to respect God and follows His teaching. But Satan interfered with this God wish by brainwashing human beings and indoctrinating human beings with evil ideas. To clearly teach God's teaching and instructions, God sent his Son Christ Jesus to the human world. But people brainwashed by Satan killed Christ Jesus. So, Satan succeeded in defeating God temporarily, but Christianity prevailed despite the death of Christ Jesus on the cross. Nonetheless, Satan has never given up its evil intention against God. Satan has brainwashed many priests and other followers of Christina churches. Satan has also partly succeeded by making human beings love money and wealth more than God.
This tells what world human beings still live in today. Commercialism is one of representative tools of Satan. Commercialism makes human beings want rich lives by showing, displaying, and presenting rich living through TV, publications, and the Internet. Indeed, a man cannot love and serve both God and money at the same time. Satan does not request human beings to love Satan, but Satan makes human beings love money and forget, ignore, and finally hate God.
Today's civilization is driven by human desire fostered by commercialism. It is against the teaching of God, since it is money-driven. The modern civilization is driven by human desire for wealth. It is against the teaching of God. So, today, people don't think of God but think of only their material success and happiness that can be achieved by money.
But as this civilization is against God, it will surely fail. Human beings will see their material civilization fall someday, which will please Satan who loves to see human beings suffer.
We are surrounded by high-tech products and products realized by advanced science and technology, but they are generated by human desire for money and wealth but not by faith in God. Therefore, ultimately this material civilization will fall and perish someday.
This material civilization might crumble before human beings occupy the solar system or the Milky Way galaxy. And it will never prosper forever.
2000 years after Abraham, Christ Jesus appeared in the human world. And 2000 years after Christ Jesus, we are now living. It is no wonder that the end of this material civilization is near.
