Dear friends; I would like to use the mighty oak tree as an example of humanity from the Tower of Babel to our day (Gen. 11; Rev. 6-19). If you study fallen humanity; especially from an objective biblical perspective; you will see that the Bible is the absolute best commentary on Adam's fallen and demonically depraved race (Gen. 6; Rom. 1:18-32; 3:23; 2 Cor. 5:12-21; Gal. 1:4; Eph. 2:1-3; 6:10-12)!
As we look at the 6000 years of human history; we find ourselves in this present day, at the accumulative technological EXPONENTIALLY superabounding depot for EXPONENTIAL population growth, technological advancement (in all sciences and warfare), in global depravity, lawlessness, godlessness, and global demonic oppression (Dan. 12:1-4). When we are fully able to observe these things from this perspective, we truly know that we are absolutely near the end of this age and the Day of the Lord is at hand (Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19)! When ETERNALLY Divine spiritual laws and their absolutes along with their moral laws and absolutes are willingly despised, abhorred, violated, ravished, and transgressed; you will always find the negative consequences of their violation and their destructive fruits (Rom. 1:18-32; Gal. 5:19-21)! When an EXPONENTIAL day is EXPONENTIALLY seeking demonic darkness, godlessness, and lawlessness, it will produce the ultimate man of lawlessness and a global war against Almighty God, which in the end, will lead to the Battle of Armageddon (Dan. 7:8,11,12,24-26; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13; 16:13-16).
The Book of Proverbs reveals the two different effects that take place based on the proper application to RIGHTEOUSNESS or its violation. Obedience to RIGHTEOUSNESS, spiritual absolutes, and moral absolutes produces the fruits of RIGHTEOUSNESS; such as peace, harmony, order, etc (Ps. 85:10; Isa. 32:17, Rom. 14:17; James 3:18); the violation of RIGHTEOUSNESS produces the violational effects of RIGHTEOUSNESS; lawlessness, disorder, chaos, anarchy, corruption, violence, etc. (Psalm 14; Matt. 15:19; Rom. 1:18-32; Rom. 3; Gal. 5:19-21; Jude 1:10-19). Simple enough to see is it not? But how come billions miss it?
The answer is quite simple; Adam's fallen humanity with all of their being truly LOVE death, darkness, error, licentiousness, moral relativism, idolatry, etc., etc. for that is why the gate is very wide which leads to ETERNAL ruin (Matt. 7:13-14; John 3:19-21; Rom. 1:18-32). It doesn't matter whatever one's moral or lawless bent is for unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief...; and unless one is born again by faith in Jesus Christ, the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION and ATONING Mediator between God and man in RIGHTEOUSNESS; one will die in their sins, violations and trespasses (John 3:16;17, 1 John 4:10; Rev. 20:11-15)!
It will be at the end of the church age at the Rapture that the global EXPONENTIAL ACCUNMINATED lawlessness of man will reach its zenith in rebellion and lawlessness and run straight into the Day of the Lord and His RIGHTEOUS Wrath (Rev. 6-19)! The Book of Revelation is all about a godless world's EXPONENTIAL rebellion against its ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Rom. 1:18-32)! Unregenerate humanity is hiding from Almighty God much like Adam was when he first sinned and deep down inside they know why they are hiding, they LOVE their darkness and are LOVER of it!
Oh, that man would only truly trust Almighty God their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and call on Him for ETERNAL deliverance and salvation (John 1:12, Acts 4:12; 16:29-31)! Lawlessness only destroys ETERNALLY, yet an unregenerate man is hooked on it as heroin to an addict and pushes all hands away from those who seek to help to deliver in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Isa. 30:15; 53:6; Jer. 10:23; 17:9; John 1:9-11; 8:24; Rom. 1:18-32)! Unregenerate humanity is hiding from Almighty God much like Adam was when he first sinned and deep down inside they know why they are hiding, they LOVE their darkness and are LOVER of it (Gen. 3:9-11, John 3:19-21)! Note how Adam knew his sin and then try to blame Eve (Gen. 3:9-12). Unregenerate man is always seeking to self preservate himself at all costs to hold on to their love of darkness. This my friend is the biblical RIGHTEOUS diagnosis of Adam's fallen race and why all desperately need the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus for one's ETERNAL well-being (Isa. 53; John 11:25-26, Rom. 10:2-4; Gal. 1:4)!
My dear friend, are you a hider today? One who hides from Almighty God in the cloak of demonic darkness (Gen. 3:6-11; John 3:19-21; Eph. 2:1-3)? Are you hiding in your traditions, family, culture, political party, skin color, "good" works, vices, social justice crusades, career, global movements, conservatism, liberalism, marxism, religiousness, abortion rights, pro-life passions, greeds, creeds, violence, gangs, humanitarian institutions, genders, sports, movies, etc., etc.? What are you hiding in that will keep you from coming to the ETERNAL Light of Almighty God your ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, who so loved you that He came forth from Heaven's glory to die for your sins and transgressions (Isa. 53, John 1:1-12; Heb. 1:2-3; 1 John 4:10)! Almighty God is calling out to you today and will you come out of hiding and come into the ETERNAL Light of His presence (John 3:19-21)? Oh, my dear friends, I was once a hider and I ran from the Lord because I loved my darkness, but in Almighty God's grace and mercy He came after me until I saw my hiding place for what it was (John 3:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-14)! It will be 30 years this October that Almighty God delivered me ETERNALLY from my hiding place and my death and I am here to tell you that LIFE and LIGHT in Christ are ETERNALLY superior to a life in darkness and sin! If you are a hider, I want to challenge you to come to the LIGHT of RIGHTEOUSNESS and see for yourself and place your ETERNAL trust in Jesus for your ETERNAL deliverance and salvation!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Amen
