Having watched an hour of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this week, I hardly see leaders. What I see is a bunch of egomaniacs on a mission to ruin our planet. I liken it to viewing the Golden Globes, only for green activists.
Still, both are disconnected from reality, completely believing that somehow they are going to take charge of our climate just as they would saddle a horse. Hold your applause for their service to humanity, will you?
The planet has yet to agree, nor has the Almighty responsible for creating it. Neither Klaus Schwab nor the rest of those attending seems to give any credence to this.
They’d rather bet on a pagan spiritualist to bless their efforts to turn the world around than God himself. That’s who they invited to join them.
Chief Putanny Yawanawá of Brazil’s Yawanawá Tribe was brought on stage to speak Wednesday, after which she performed a ritual in which she grabbed the heads of the assembled leaders and blew on them.
The decision to leave God out of the event, focusing instead on his creation itself, is purposeful. In the organizers’ and attendees’ minds, they are beyond him but not what he has given them.
It is a story on repeat throughout history, somewhat laughable and inviting of significant correction. God has dealt with this type before, and he will again. They never win.
This kind of behavior is the same as that described in Romans 1:22-25:
“Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.”
Putanny’s appearance plays right into such a mindset. And although I do agree that we need to bring our hearts and minds together and the healing this planet needs is a spiritual one, the answer isn’t at Davos or even in the trees.
