I am sure you have heard of Thomas Robert Malthus, the originator of Malthusianism. He believed that people would keep multiplying but food subsistence would only mathematically grow and therefore could not keep up with the multiplying of people! Consequently people must limit their families.
Margaret Sanger, the source of Planned Parenthood was also a Malthusian.
But get this. Malthus lived from 1766 to 1834. Back in 1820 when Malthus lived the world population numbered only 1.1 billion people and 95 percent lived in poverty with 85 percent existing in extreme poverty.
By 2015 the world population grew to seven billion. It is now 8.1 billion and yet less than 10 percent live in poverty. Over the last quarter of a century demographers calculate that every day 137,000 fewer people around the world live in extreme poverty!
Today we still have people who believe in Malthusianism. The New World Order and the World Economic Forum are intent in reducing the population of the world. They state openly they want to reduce it to 500 million! Just think of how many people they want to eradicate from the earth.
This nation is still the breadbasket of the world, but they are having to force food shortages. This government is paying farmers to destroy crops and animals.
What does the Bible say? “Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?” (1 Corinthians 1:20).
God who made this world made it with plenty of room to be inhabited with human population! He knows what He is doing. Listen to what He says: “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be INHABITED: I am the LORD; and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:18).
We only have to travel this this great country and see the vast lands that are still uninhabited. You travel through a city and then go back to hours of traveling through land that still waits to be inhabited!
We certainly need to affirm the words in Romans 3:4: “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” I’d certainly rather trust in God’s wisdom than the foolish wisdom of man. Wouldn’t you?
Be blessed today,
