Enlightenment?

There have been two great Enlightenments.

                        

The one of Genesis 3:7, “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked…” led to spiritual death and alienation from God. We “saw” and we died.

The Enlightenment, or Age of Reason, surrounding and encompassing the 18^th century, led to the deification of man, humanism, self-worship, and the darkness of the abyss into which we are descending.

Do we see irony?

The eyes of Adam and Eve were opened and they were blinded to God and the eternals.

The 18^th-century Enlightenment has led to spiritual, moral, and ethical darkness.
