| PIONEERING OUR BRAVE NEW WORLD By: SILVER BURDETT |
Aldous Huxley coined the phrase…"A Brave New World."
But his world was a controlled, Utopian paradise.
The real world is anything but a Utopian paradise.
Our world and Huxley's began in a similar fashion, with genetic engineering. In his book, the World
Controllers produce five classes of people, Alphas and Betas, who are the leaders of the society,
Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons, who do the manual labor. In their labs, sperm and ova are taken from the
human body and then manipulated to grow the various classes of fetuses outside the human body.
Coupled with the genetic engineering is an extensive process of conditioning so that each class is totally
contented with their lot in life.
The Garden of Eden enclosure was the lab used to genetically alter our Adamic ancestors. The best
specimens had been taken from the evolved natural races of humans and given the potential to far
exceed them in intelligence and other factors. But within the enclosure life was easy for the new race, far
too easy. There was nothing to challenge them and spur them on to higher achievements. The so-called
"Fall of Man" was no fall. They were pushed.
There is no contest between Yahweh and the Tempter, the Nachash, the entity that beguiled Eve to
disobey. It was part of Yahweh's plan for Adamic man to be ejected from the garden.
From the moment they were expelled, this new race of humanity became the pioneers of our "Brave New
World." When we study about the people who we think of as being pioneers, the ones who traveled to and
settled our West, we see the dangerous rigors they had to endure. They trekked through an uncharted
wilderness, endured extreme temperatures, perilous terrain, wild savages, and much more, all these
testing their desire to find a new home or riches of gold or silver. In the same fashion the Adamics had to
be tested.
Once outside of the enclosure, they were forced to raise their own food instead of picking it from a tree;
there were thorns and thistles, wild beasts, the native population, and many other hazards. Life was no
longer easy for them.
Yahweh did not promise us an easy life, full of peace and love. This Brave New World, we live in, is far
from peaceful and loving. Some people think the Old Testament should be censored, because of all the
blood and gore and the explicit sex. They believe the harsh God of the Old Testament has no relationship
to the Father of Yahshua. They believe Yahshua came to bring us peace and love. Yet here is a quote of
His, that says the exact opposite. 'Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34.
One of Yahshua's titles from the Old Testament that prophesies His coming, is Prince of Peace. But that
is for a future time, "... when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to Yahweh, even the Father; when
He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till he has put all enemies
under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." I Corinthians 15:24-25. This will happen
at his last coming. Read about it in Revelation 19:11-21.Some people like to think that life is a bed of
roses. But roses have thorns. We cannot have the sweet and beautiful without their opposites.
Paul was given a thorn in his flesh as a testing vehicle. Three times he asked for it to be removed. If
anyone deserved to have his requests fulfilled it was Paul. He worked tirelessly for the Almighty, and went
through a "proverbial hell on earth" in the process. But what sustained him was the promise of better
things to come. In Hebrews 11, Paul wrote about others who also endured great suffering while sojourning
through this Brave New World. All of these lived and died "... having obtained a good report through faith,
received not the promise; Yahweh having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should
not be made perfect." Verses 39-40.
Some will say, "Why me?" when they have some great hardship come upon them. They wonder why many
of the evildoers go unpunished, while they, who are doing their best to live a moral life, have to suffer.
After any great world calamity, like the tsunami in Southeast Asia, or the collapse of the twin towers of the
World Trade Center on 9/11, we see this reaction. Is there any written law that says life is fair?
In dealing with most of the inhabitants of the world, Yahweh is an impersonal God."... for He makes his
sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:45.
We must make the effort to get into a more personal relationship with Yahweh.
"Behold, Yahweh's hand is not shortened, that He cannot save; neither His ear heavy that it cannot hear;
but your iniquities have separated between you and your Elohim, and your sins have hid His face from
you, that He will not hear." Isaiah 59: 1-2.
Yahshua opened the way to the Father, but he called for repentance, turning from your sins, as the first
requisite.Yahweh has put this world under the control of the Shaitan. "In whom the god of this world has
blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Messiah, Who is the
image of Yahweh, should shine unto them." II Corinthians 4:4.
Our world is called "this present evil world." Galations1:4. So unlike the world envisioned by Aldous
Huxley, we live in a rough and tumble place, by design. Here are a couple of quotes from his book. "'You
can only be independent of God while you've got youth and prosperity; independence won't take you
safely to the end.' Well, we've now got youth and prosperity right up to the end. What follows?
Evidently, that we can be independent of God." This one shows that when everything is going well for us,
we have no need to seek out Yahweh. Therefore this testing world is essential in bringing us to Him. This
next quote is by the Savage in chapter 17. "But I don't want comfort. I want God. I want poetry. I want real
danger. I want freedom. I want goodness. I want sin." Here the Savage explains the old world reasoning.
He asserts that true life requires exposure to all things, good and evil.The Adamics in the enclosure had
to sample the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. There is no true goodness without its counterpart,
evil. Nothing to compare it with. This Brave New World, we were thrust into unwillingly, is essential to our
growth.
"To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you. ...
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold
temptations. That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it be
tried by fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Yahshua the Messiah." I
Peter 1:4-7.
