“There is no wisdom or understanding Or counsel against the Lord.”   Prov 21:30 nkjv


April 22, 2025


There is a cosmic battle raging in the heavenly places… and here on earth. Presently, except for the debris left from unexplainable incidents, having had unseen influence and causes involved in the carnage, evil/demonic entities slither away undetected… normally seen as people(s) activity and not considered as having come from powerful demonic and spiritual oppression pushing a person to destructive actions, a mass shooting for example… or a person suddenly out of their “normal” character doing unreasonable things… is there a malevolent force at work that is not understood? Here we will look at the rebellion of evil against Yahweh’s people and their interests.

First in order to understand chaos and destructive humanity, we must agree to examine it from some common baseline or “judicial standard.” If we suggest there is a right and wrong, good and evil, holy and unholy, clean and unclean… then we must come to agreement as to “who” gets to define these parameters and what are the consequences of them. It just so happens that Yahweh instructed Moses that these issues were the main duty of the Priesthood… to instruct the people as such. All these parameters are defined in the Torah… Yahweh’s Word; the Law of Moses. There seems to be no civil order or peace in social colonies where these standards have been broken down… Bullies and evil strong men generally take over in the process of elimination of each other until the survivor prevails as “king.” Each one does what is right in his own eyes… “You shall not at all do as we are doing here today—every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes” deut 12:8 nkjv

Words mean things. Word strings and groups form meaning and instructions to those who “know the language.” This is the world we live in. When Yahweh confounded the pagan rebels language at the tower of Babel, at the time they all spoke the same language… they were in unity to do their own thing against Yahweh’s preferences. See Genesis chapter 11 for the details. Upon their dispersion, each language group had to begin a new tribe/clan and start over.

How does Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding fit into all the above? I would think if one was educated and learned in all three, they should be prosperous and successful at most things they pursued with adequate energies. Our entire civilization and its history is a story of people’s exercise and dedication to understand and employ these issues. Each one of these are unique in its own way. The Bible is full of examples and teachings concerning each of these.

Knowledge, meaning from a dictionary: “Knowledge is the awareness or understanding of facts, information, and skills acquired through experience, education, or reasoning. It encompasses both theoretical understanding and practical skills related to various subjects.

Wisdom, meaning from a dictionary: “Wisdom, also known as sapience, is the ability to apply knowledge, experience, and good judgment to navigate life's complexities. It is often associated with insight, discernment, and ethics in decision-making.”

Understanding, meaning from a dictionary: “Understanding is the ability to grasp the meaning, significance, or explanation of something, often involving a mental connection between concepts or ideas. It implies a level of comprehension that allows a person to interpret and engage with information effectively.”

In the Garden of Eden, there was a tree called the “Tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”   gen 2:15-17. It was forbidden that man should eat of that tree… doing so, he would surely die. What do you think caused Adam and Eve to commit suicide by disobeying Yahweh and eating the fruit of that tree? What are we doing in our lives that could have a similar affect upon our eternal destiny? It is important for us to recognize the pitfalls that such a “knowledge of good and evil” fruit might impose upon us. What kind of knowledge is good for us and what kind is bad? Is there such a thing?

If one is a “believer” it implies that he “believes” in someone or something… If we confess that Yeshua’s blood sacrifice has redeemed us, then we have a responsibility in our dealing with what pleases Yahweh and what does not? This is a substantial “knowledge” issue in our lives. How would we apply wisdom and understanding to this issue? Would we not want to know what Yahweh has written for us to learn and live out in our daily pursuits? It is said that the Torah is “wisdom.” It is also called the tree of life. Paul said the Torah was our schoolmaster… to teach us and lead us to the feet of Yeshua and then we learn how to become like our master, Yeshua.

We are coming to a time [soon] when our discernment and cognition will be further stretched by influences from artificially processed “intelligence” where “knowledge” (not wisdom or understanding) will be expanded and homogenized into new concepts and “fruits” from the “tree” of the knowledge of good and evil… the Bible tells us that in the last days “knowledge” will increase. We are now seeing it happening right before our very eyes with all the expansive AI and technologies associated with it.

I believe the Technocratic age we live in will accelerate and many issues will challenge our humanity and our spiritual wisdom and understanding. I also believe the Beast System defined in the book of Revelation will spring forth from this Technocracy and that many changes will happen quickly. The anti-christ [man of sin] will employ all these technologies to attempt overcome Yahweh’s people [where he can]. All the nations of the world and many private corporate conglomerates are throwing Billions of dollars at this AI, data mining and manipulation industry. Knowledge will come to mean whatever they determine suits their interest… not unlike they do with the news media. We now see subjective management of law, science, and healthcare… and more. Because manipulation and its influence can be much more quickly employed with these new technologies, to help these mad men achieve their evil goals.

I think we need to understand that AI will rapidly increase machine intellect and knowledge; it will also increase its “understanding,” especially as AGI and ASI models develop… I do not however, think it will ever possess wisdom… It will have no feelings, values or emotion… like its demonic master, the devil. It is essentially a “carnal” mind with determined objectives, which the Bible tells us it is at enmity with Yahweh. When the end days powers fully manifest, it will be the blood of the lamb and the word of our Testimony that allows us to overcome these evil people; beware of the “fruit” of the tree. The cosmic battle noted above will greatly increase until it will become as the days of Noah… evil all over the earth. Come Yeshua, Come.

Because this AI and Technology subject is so important [I think], I have posted a separate special article that more fully address it and its importance to us believers… it can be read at: [This Link]

Shalom, John
