Gentiles Honour Education

A new OECD report ranks Australia 7th in the world for academic performance of its migrant students. Children from certain migrant groups do better at school than Australian-born students, particularly those from India, China and the Philippines. They also tend to have more ambitious career aspirations and lower rates of bullying.

According to the report, “Resilience of Students with an Immigrant Background”, migrant students from England, Scotland and New Zealand were less likely to achieve even base line economic proficiency. The report examined literacy, numeracy and science performance.

Professor Ken Cruikshank, an educational lecturer at Sydney University, said people often come to Australia for their children. “I think it’s part of being a migrant that it’s the chance to succeed perhaps where the parents didn’t …. and the idea that success in life comes through education,” he said.

Confirmation came from a comment by a parent who escaped the civil war in 1970’s Lebanon. ”  They’d seen the worst. And I guess when you do see the worst, you appreciate life a bit more.” She said her children all understood that education was the path to a better life. “I say, Do you want a good life?  Get a good education and you must work very hard.”

As a career educator for some 30 years, I have myself noticed the difference in attitude to education between gentile children and those from ‘Israelite’ Britain and its Israelite ex-colonies. Travel in nations like Africa and visit schools and the difference in classroom atmosphere and attention is immediately apparent. The children are respectful, attentive and keen to learn. Whereas often in Western classrooms it is a battle to gain the attention of some students, who have little respect for anyone at all.

This growing general attitude is bringing about the decline in Western civilisation, an attitude of  ‘We have it all. It is what we think that counts. We don’t need to be diligent and respectful of authority for we don’t even respect our parents.’

We have taught them to believe this!

We in the West have taken our many blessings for granted, for the blessings we so casually enjoy were those which were promised by God to our ancestor Abraham’s descendants. We have accepted the blessings as our right, but they are not a right as the Gentile nations well know, and our lack of respect for God and His laws – true education – is bringing about the withdrawal of those blessings, until finally they will be gone.

Malachi 1:6, “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’

  Verse 11 – 12, ‘For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will beb great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts. But you profane it…’  

And  Malachi 2:1-2,  ‘And now, O priests, this command is for you. If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the LORD of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.’ 

Deuteronomy 28: 43-45, ‘The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:’ 

The End of Computers?

It was not that many years ago that life was very different before computers. As a High School teacher I remember the time when the only computer in the school was in the office, and the teachers were sent on a course to learn about them. Before that, almost every job had to be done by hand and records were kept in paper files.

Thousands of people were employed as clerks. Nowadays the computer has replaced all these workers and my son, who is a mine surveyor, tells me that the huge trucks used to transport the iron ore in the mines are driverless, as are the trains which deliver the ore to the ports. Even the drilling machinery in the mines is controlled by people hundreds of miles away in an office in Perth.

Recently, reports tell us that mens jobs are easier to automate than womens jobs because they often involve social empathy, interpersonal skills and creativity, such as receptionists, midwives, nurses and child-carers.

Out of seven hundred occupations 12 were found to have a 99% chance of being automated in the future, and many hundreds more were in the 80-90% chance of automation. These jobs are fast disappearing!

Robotics are rapidly replacing human workers, and each robot in places like car factories, replaces 5.6 workers. It has been suggested that robots should therefore be taxed and the funds used to retrain or financially support those replaced.

In modern factories today it can be hard to find a human worker among all the busy machines, all controlled by computer technology.  Farms, which in days gone by employed 15 men,  now manage with one or two men and huge, costly, computer controlled machinery. Eventually it is thought that governments will have to step in to implement a guaranteed basic income for all those redundant workers.

Well, they may think that, but God, who does not dwell in time or space as we do, knows better. In fact His word shows us that human life is not really about materialism, mass production and profits, which has led to huge gaps between rich and poor, pollution, oppression and even war. Human life is really about relationships, families, our environment and our purpose.

That is why a huge change lies ahead at the coming return of Jesus Christ. The earth itself will be totally restructured at His arrival. Rather than 10% of its land area being currently arable and 90% taken up with huge deserts, mountain chains and,  concrete and snow, the figures will be reversed so that 90% of its increased  land area will become fertile and productive, and climate change will bring rain in due season everywhere. Gone will be huge factories and industrial pollution. Materialism will be replaced by true education which will lay emphasis on relationships and the laws which bring real success, peace and happiness in life.

Life will become much simpler, more attuned to families and much smaller scale craftsmanship rather than heavy industry. Without high technology and computers, huge numbers of jobs will be created in both industry and agriculture. Following organic natural farming methods the smaller mixed farms where both animals and crops are raised, will become much more productive, our impoverished soils will be restored, the food grown health giving once more, and most people will retain a connection to the land rather than live a life divorced from reality in some huge metropolis.

The result will be happy families who work together, as they used to do long ago, a simpler but richer lifestyle where people live together in smaller communities in peace and prosperity, in a world which will gradually be restored to Eden like conditions.

Isaiah 41:15-20,  ‘Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.’ 

Isaiah 30:23-25, ‘Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.’ 

Gender Fluidity

Some few would think that there is no harm in the notion that we should be free to decide for ourselves which gender we wish to be. After all, for years now the West has been blurring the distinction between the sexes, so that now women can become front line soldiers in the Western Armed Forces.

But the West (mainly the US and Britain) has recently gone dangerously overboard in promoting to children that which most ordinary people would regard as ridiculous – that the divide between the sexes is to be treated as something wrong, a form of oppression which must be fought against.

Where does this evil concept originate? Read our article ‘Satan’s Political Correctness’ to find the answer, and it becomes clear that it is just one more symptom of Satan’s attempt to undermine God’s Plan for humanity – God who said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”, Genesis 1:26, and “Male and Female He created them”, verse 27. 

God envisaged quite separate and distinct roles for male and female, which much of the world still maintains, but it is typical that this evil concept arrises in the very people which God chose to be an example to the nations, but whom have rebelled against their God-given role and now lead the world in a spiral of degeneracy.

Some say that Australia is just ten years behind Britain, but walks the same path – but Australia and other nations should beware of following in those footsteps and consequently suffering the dreadful chastisement of God which will bring defeat and invasion for their rebellion at the hands of a rising, aggressive and expansionist European leader who the Bible calls the Beast, Isaiah 10:6-7, ‘Against a godless nation I send him, and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. But he does not so intend, and his heart does not so think; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.’

Even in Britain though, there has been fury over this recent mania to declare anyone who disagrees with gender fluidity as a bigot – the well worn tactic of the far left, so often seen over so called ‘racism’ and ‘sexism’.

The National Health Service in Britain copped this fury over a survey form given out to schools in Lancashire, where ten year olds were asked, “Do you feel the same inside as the gender you were born with  (feeling male or female)?’  Even Primary School children in Year 6 were asked to tick a box where they were given the choice, ‘Girl’, ‘Boy’ or ‘Other’ !

These leading questions asking children if they are “comfortable in their gender” annoyed many parents, one of whom said, “I don’t want someone putting into my daughter’s head that she might not be happy with her own gender.”  That this should be raised by the NHS, of all people, was seen to create more difficulties by putting to children and issue which is only of concern to a tiny number of adults, let alone children.

One school in North London made all of its toilets gender neutral. Outraged pupils and parents soon forced this ‘progressive’ Headmaster to revert to normal male and female toilets, and abandon his plans to introduce a gender neutral uniform, with boys wearing skirts if they wished, which is already the case elsewhere.

Also in Britain, a Christian maths teacher, Joshua Sutcliffe, was suspended from his job at a State Secondary school in Oxfordshire for saying “Well done girls” to a child who identifies as a boy, with another girl, for working hard. No wonder God said in Isaiah 29:21, ‘Who by a word make a man out to be an offender, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right,’ 

This mania is already affecting commerce too, with Top Shop recently turning its changing cubicles to gender neutral, and in politics the Labour party in Kent allowing its ‘women’s officer’ who was born a man, and the only thing that is in anyway female about ‘her’ is that ‘she’ says ‘she’ is a woman and dresses as one, to override its own rule book which insists the women’s officer must be a woman.

Sadly, this curse of gender fluidity, emanating from the US and Britain, will find fertile ground wherever such as Australia’s “Human Rights ” Commission  is found, ever anxious to promote perverse anti – Christian beliefs.

Thank God that some few will stand against these evil concepts directed at children just finding their feet during the difficult transition to adulthood. We live in a world heavily influenced by a more and more desperate Satan as the End Time nears, for he knows that his reign will end at the millennium, to be replaced at last with true education and the laws of God, at the soon return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
