“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).
Looking at this “brutish” business, this man claims to even know less than a man, and that's a very humble attitude. This will be true in the last days. We are living in the day when men honestly don't even have the brains of a monkey! Now, this thing of brutish. Brutish means less than natural understanding. A man has a natural understanding, “who know what the things of a man save the spirit of man which is in him” (I Corinthians 2:11). A man understands what a man's like, because he has the spirit of a man in him. but he says “I am more brutish than any man.”
In the last days, Romans 1 says that when the world has reached bottom, they'll be “without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful” (Romans 1:31). That's where we've reached. We've reached a point where our country, even on the natural realm, is without understanding. Even when you present them with facts and the truth, they reject it and keep on going on their merry way.
It has been proven that the educational system that has been set up for the last few decades is not producing the correct results. Yet, you what they want to do? Pump more money into it. They can't get this message from the voters. The voters are tired of pouring money down a rat hole. Some people just believe anything they hear, they won’t check the information out.
Getting back to this brute business.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents [we’ll be looking at this one shortly], unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” (II Timothy 3:1-4).
“Without natural affection,” See, they are below nature. A sodomite is on the level of an animal. That's below the natural; that's less than a man, less than a woman, “without natural affection.”
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. taking they did away with arithmetic, and are now giving them new math, and that didn't solve the old problems.
