Should Christians Abet or Thwart God's Prophecies?

Put it another way, can God be encouraged or discouraged? Can He be hurried or slowed down?

For most Christians the answer to the latter question is a definite NO, otherwise God’s prophecies, would, otherwise, not be fulfilled.

Nonetheless, though not the same as thwarting, it is NOT blasphemous to ask that God spare us His wrath (or, if are a Franciscan monk, His riches). Even Jesus, at His most darkest hour (Mathew 26:39) asked if it is possible that the cup be taken away. He also tells us to pray that we may escape all those things that may befall us in the end times (Luke 21:35, Mathew 24:20).

So the only question that remains is should we abet, encourage or hurry them?

Before I proceed, a bit of how this question arose and how I could not shake it off.

Firstly, I am reading two books, one is an eBook titled “Societal Renaissance” by Lionel Bisschoff. He writes about how we need to do away with the old, current concept of money if we are to provide safety, sustenance and joy to all – a kind of future socio-political, economic and financial paradise/utopia where there is no compounded interest rates. His thesis (that is what I have called it) is based on the advances in information technology. The other book I am reading is by Mark Hitchcock titled “The End of Money”. He writes about a future cashless society that will set the stage for the Antichrist. And, he argues that that cashless society is being made possible by the very same advances in information technology that Lionel is alluding to.

Secondly, I am a scientist at heart. I like to poke, to question, to break, to rebuild, to create, and, in the Talmudic tradition, and to quote Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu addressing the INSS Annual Conference in January 2014, to “... always ask questions”, to “...  never put an exclamation point on anything... “.

Thirdly, it is a Eureka moment for me when the scientific, religious and secular worlds converge. It can only mean one thing: the truth. So, if you consider Mark’s book to be religious, then Lionel’s eBook is secular, and, myself, as the scientist in this triangle, I am working on an innovation to provide the necessary governance that will eliminate human discretionary decisions making which is the bane of most man-made systems.

That is what made me sit up with a sweat! My innovation will help foster the stage for the new dawn, the future cooperative world that Lionel writes about, and Mark’s new world order of the Antichrist. And hence the question, as a Christian, should I abet or thwart this new dawn, especially if it is going to be used to fulfil God’s end-time prophecies.

Since thwarting God’s prophecies borders on blasphemy, the only question remaining is should I aid and abet them?
