WITH LONG LIFE I WILL SATISFY YOU
Genesis 25:8 AMPC Then Abraham’s spirit was released, and he died at a good (ample, full) old age, an old man, satisfied and satiated, and was gathered to his people.
We live in an age where men’s consciences are more awakened to the fallen realm, and as a result, the length of their days keeps decreasing. What do I mean?
Tracing five generations from Adam: Adam lived 930 years, Seth 912, Enosh 905, Kenan 910, and Mahalalel 895 years. As men continued to live, their years became shorter. I asked God why, and He answered, “Their consciences became more awakened to the fallen realm.”
Adam, even in his fallen state, did not know what cancer was. Even if it existed in his body, it could not kill him because he had no awareness of it. If you told Seth he had malaria, he would have asked, “What is malaria?” This lack of awareness of the fallen realm, and their deeper consciousness of God, kept them alive for hundreds of years.
In Revelation 2:24–25 (NLT), Jesus says: “But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of Satan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you except that you hold tightly to what you have until I come.”
The church in Thyatira had fallen into false teachings described as “the depths of Satan.” I love that the NLT uses the phrase ‘deeper truths’ because it exposes a mindset that still exists today, people who think that knowing the complicated, fallen, scientific names of diseases keeps them healthy.
But the wisdom of this world is always brought to nothing(1 Corinthians 3:19). Instead, invest in the Words of this life. Proverbs 4:22 tells us that the Word of God is medicine to our bodies—it heals all diseases without side effects.
Choose to learn the depths of God’s Word, not the depths of fallen wisdom. The depths of God’s Word prolong your life; the depths of fallen wisdom shorten it.
