If you will allow me, I would like to revisit a previous post that I made regarding what Jesus tells us in Luke 12:2. If you will recall, He tells us that a time is coming where everything that is secret in our life will be revealed.
I had coffee the other morning with a friend of mine and he had some startling news in this regard. He told me that in the next couple of years, all of the encrypted information that is on the internet, will be revealed for all to see. The fact is that technology is moving very fast and what is safe and secure today will be viewable tomorrow. What this means is, that all of our monetary transactions, purchases, interests and contacts could be made available to be reviewed by anyone. With the amount of information that is available about our past histories, it could really be surprising how much information would be made available.
We watch famous people who are exposed every day and the consequences are devastating. The mayor of Detroit has all of his personal text messages revealed and he is convicted of perjury and is going to jail for it. A wealthy man, running for president one day and the next is forced to explain his actions when it is revealed that he impregnated a mistress while his wife is dying of cancer. No one wants their deepest secrets revealed and I can only imagine the panic that will take place if it is announced that all you have to do is type a name into your computer and learn every secret thing about the famous and the ordinary. Husbands, wives, children, friends, enemies and casual observers will dissect the lives of anyone they wish as others will do the same to them. The “Jerry Springer” show (on steroids) will come to life, as humanities deepest secrets are revealed.
If the indication of how many gossip magazines and papers are sold (millions I’m sure), then without a doubt the rush for salacious news will shut down the internet and Luke 12:2 will become a reality. All this time, we might have thought, how this passage could come true? We may have thought that it would be impossible for every secret to be revealed but it looks not only possible, leaving only the question, when?
