“Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy” (Proverbs 30:2-3 KJV).
Peter writes in Second Peter, “there shall be false teachers among you” (verse 1), and in verse 12 writes, “But these, as natural brute beasts [they think like animals], made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.”
They “speak evil of things they understand not.” They don't understand the Bible, so they speak evil of it. They don't understand the capitalistic system and the free enterprise system, so they speak evil against them. These people are natural brute beasts. A good communist is a person who will continue to do what's wrong at all costs. That statement comes from ex-communists. They say that no matter what, no matter how you prove them wrong, they'll kill you to do it anyway. These natural brutes, no matter how you prove them wrong; they'll die to prove that they are right, even though nothing comes out right.
Jude speaks about things happening like as was in Sodom and Gomorrah. Of course, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah so shall it be as in the days of the coming Son of Man. Christ said that would be as in the days of Lot. So notice in Jude 10, “But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain,”
Those are prophecies dealing with the last days, like the days of Noah, and the of Lot; and says that men will be like brute beasts. So, what Agur says here will be true of the last days. men will be “more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.” People in America used to understand that there was two ways to raise a kid, the wrong way and the Bible way. They knew that part of a proper, Christian education was a good paddling now and then. They don't even do that anymore. They consider themselves smarter than God and they are paying the piper for it. They don't even teach him how to write any more, don't teach them how to read, they don't teach them how to make a living. they did away with arithmetic, and are now giving them new math, and that didn't solve the old problems.
If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.
