Designer genetics and diseases caused by man
By Don Koenig
Man can create designer diseases in this generation. Much of this creativity is being used to create biological weapons for man's own destruction. Germs being developed for biological warfare by a score of countries could devastate the globe if released. The book of Revelation says that much of the population of the earth will be killed by pestilence and the beasts of the earth (the rider on the pale horse). What is described might be designer diseases developed by man from animals or diseases that crossed species from animals to man.
Some say that there is evidence that AIDS was created by man. Of these some claim it was an experiment released accidentally, others claim that is was released deliberately to control population. Whatever the truth, AIDS alone has killed ten's of millions and it will soon kill hundreds of millions of people in the world. The CIA says AIDS will kill 25 percent of the population of southern Africa in the next two decades and 100 million world wide by 2010.
Terrorists may find or may have already found access to the pathogens developed in many countries for their germ warfare programs. They may use them with or without state sponsorship. Terrorist groups may also have the capability to culture their own deadly pathogens and to find ways to deliver them.
Resistant diseases
There are other problems due to man's intervention that are unique to our age. Drug resistant old diseases are emerging faster than new drugs can be developed to combat them. The golden age of antibiotics may now be nearing an end as more virulent forms of common diseases emerge that are resistant to antibiotic treatment. Mycoplasma infections are probably responsible for the chronic fatigue and other wasting diseases that have become prevalent in the last few decades. No one really knows why these Mycoplasma infections have emerged but animal based vaccines are highly suspect.
Genetic experiments on man and animals
Genetic experiments on animals to develop organs that can be placed in the human body could allow deadly diseases to jump to the human species. They are now creating new species of animals mixed with human genetics (chimeras). This is done with good intent but the ultimate outcome might be disaster.
Genetic engineering will (if it hasn't already) create human clones. It is one step from that to duplication of intellectually or physically superior people (a super race). You can bet cloning and gene manipulation has peaked the interest of the rich and famous and the world socialist elite that are pretty much running this world behind the scenes. The Antichrist figure known in Bible prophecy as the Beast might turn out to be the fruits of a genetic experiment.
Genetic experiments on food
Food is now being genetically engineered, grown and marketed even though no one knows the long term effects on humans or on the ecosystem. Who knows all of what is going on? There is little control. We only find out what the companies have developed when we see super seeds passing off genetic code to produce super weeds. If certain corporations get what they want, crop seed will soon have no ability to reproduce itself. If that happens all we will be able to buy and grow will be engineered super seeds that are protected by a patent. The world food supply may become controlled by a few international super seed growers that are themselves controlled by the few hundred world power brokers.
Signs of the time
Man is now playing creator without the necessary wisdom. If a plague is not released upon us first through war or by evil people, sooner or later diseases caused by man from out of control designer genetic engineering experiments will bring plagues on mankind.
We should see that this generation is likely to see significant plagues designed and engineered by man himself.
