Among God’s many prophecies about humanity, there is one that speaks of people who have drawn close to others out of self-interest. This is a very timely prophecy, even though it was made approximately two millennia ago.

In addition to prophecies on various aspects of what would happen to humankind and the Earth, His prophecies also detailed human behavior—social, familial, emotional, psychological, and so on.

This includes selfishness, a lack of empathy, a lack of respect for others, a lack of love for the good, indifference, and so on.
Despite this, there are those who still claim that the Bible is outdated—that it needs to be replaced, as stated by the pontiff who was succeeded by the current one.

There is no book more relevant today than the Bible. But it is not endorsed by those in power, even though a passage from Solomon states: “By me kings reign, and princes decree what is just.” This “me” refers to wisdom, which is the word of God, or His law. Prov. 8:15.

Although God explains what is happening and why, many do not want to hear what He says, because it confronts and accuses modern humanity. Thus, a wall of isolation and separation is built between man and his Creator.

The book will turn blank, which is why a tremendous effort is needed to understand what is written in it. For once it is gone, those who do not have God’s word in their minds and hearts will be left without knowing the sequence of events or what to do.
