¹³ Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” ¹⁴ Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” ¹⁵ Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” ¹⁶ And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. ¹⁷ He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ ¹⁸ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. ¹⁹ And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ ²⁰ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ ²¹ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

–LUKE 12:13-21 (NIV)–

¹⁷ “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” ¹⁸ When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance ¹⁹ and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die.”

It is a demonstration of his folly. Carnal worldlings are fools while they live: this their way is their folly (Psalms 49:13); but their folly is made most evident when they die: at his end he shall be a fool (Jeremiah 17:11); for then it will appear that he took pains to lay up treasure in a world he was hastening from, but took no care to lay it up in the world he was hastening to.

Here is the application of this parable (Luke 12:21): So is he, such a fool, a fool in God’s judgment, a fool upon record, that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God. This is the way and this is the end of such a man. Observe here,

1. The description of a worldly man: He lays up treasure for himself, for the body, for the world, for himself in opposition to God, for that self that is to be denied. (1.) It is his error that he counts his flesh himself, as if the body were the man. If self be rightly stated and understood, it is only the true Christian that lays up treasure for himself, and is wise for himself, Proverbs 9:12. (2.) It is his error that he makes it his business to lay up for the flesh, which he calls laying up for himself. All his labour is for his mouth (Ecclesiastes 6:7), making provision for the flesh. (3.) It is his error that he counts those things his treasure which are thus laid up for the world, and the body, and the life that now is; they are the wealth he trusts to, and spends upon, and lets out his affections toward. (4.) The greatest error of all is that he is in no care to be rich towards God, rich in the account of God, whose accounting us rich makes us so (Revelation 2:9), rich in the things of God, rich in faith (James 2:5), rich in good works, in the fruits of righteousness (1 Timothy 6:18), rich in graces, and comforts, and spiritual gifts. Many who have abundance of this world are wholly destitute of that which will enrich their souls, which will make them rich towards God, rich for eternity.

2. The folly and misery of a worldly man: So is he. Our Lord Jesus Christ, who knows what the end of things will be, has here told us what his end will be. Note, It is the unspeakable folly of the most of men to mind and pursue the wealth of this world more than the wealth of the other world, that which is merely for the body and for time, more than that which is for the soul and eternity.

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
–Romans 1:18-20 (NIV)–

Now they are blacker than soot;
    they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
    it has become as dry as a stick.

Too much information
Well I said you’re good for nothin’
Come on to the back
I said your needles count for somethin’
Guess I’d better sell you now
Guess I’d better be around

Singin’ for your questions
But you’ve stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove
And that’s not all the colour
Tell me that you’ve seen a ghost
I’ll tell you what to fear the most

Stop!
I said it’s happenin’ again!
We’re all wastin’ away!
We’re all wastin’ away!

Too much information
Well I said you’re good for nothin’
Stitch your part of counterfeit
I said your far out here
Takin’ at the roads
Where you’re taken for the simple codes

Swimmin’ with the fishes
While the serpent waves his tongue
With a belly full of splinters
Now you see that I’m the one
Tell me that you’ve seen a ghost
I’ll tell you what to fear the most

Stop!
I said it’s happenin’ again!
We’re all wastin’ away!
We’re all wastin’ away!

Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler watched movies a lot. While gangster films were a big deal in the early 1930s, academics have been able to conclude that Stalin drew heavy inspiration from a Russian civil war movie called Chapaev (1934), which idealized communism and socialism. He watched it over 30 times (Catriona Kelly, Soviet Art House, Oxford UP, p. 3). Hitler was apparently inspired by Viva Villa! (1934), which was about a gangster named Pancho Villa in Mexico, who caused a revolution and became a political leader–Hitler identified with this character (Bill Niven, Hitler and Film, Yale UP, 2018). The film Doctor Zhivago (1965) shows how Antifa-like demonstrations led to the communist takeover of Russia.

The sad reality about Muslim men. When confronted about the issue of child marriage or Muhammad’s marriage to six year old Aishah, at first they’ll say, “No, Islam doesn’t teach that.” But when pressed further, or shown some references in the Koran or Hadith, they’ll resort to, “Well, back in Arabia in the 600s A.D., it was acceptable in those times to consider a six year old girl to be an actual woman, and ready for marriage.” The ABSOLUTE INSANITY of Islamic reasoning! This is NOT an isolated case. This seems to be how many Muslim men reason about the issue of pedophilia–er, “child marriage” in their perverted belief system. –J.B.
