Knowledge Shall Increase: Everything Comes to Light

Knowledge Shall Increase: Everything Comes to Light

Theme: Information has never been easier to reach, and that includes our own private data. A stream host explains why Social Security numbers can no longer be treated as secret, which makes identity theft easy. Scripture foretold an age when "knowledge shall increase" (Daniel 12:4, NKJV).

Summary

The host looks at a case where a woman was blamed for a phone scam. He points out that she can't really prove the activity wasn't her, and that if people were treated as innocent until proven otherwise, the case against her would look "so shaky." Using Occam's razor, he asks which is more likely. One option is that a woman who says she isn't tech savvy got a burner phone and spoofing tools to scam someone out of a thousand dollars. The other is that someone stole her identity. He argues that Social Security numbers shouldn't be considered privileged information anymore. So many data breaches have exposed SSNs, birth dates and other sensitive details that stealing someone's identity is now easy.

Key lines

• "In general, you can't prove that this isn't you."
• "It's Occam's razor, right? Like, what's more likely?"
• "Or somebody stole her identity."
• "We shouldn't even consider Social Security number to be privileged information anymore."
• "There's so many data breaches, and a lot of them do reveal Social Security number and date of birth and sensitive information like that."
• "Like, it's so easy to steal somebody's identity now."

Scripture

• Luke 8:17 (NKJV): "For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light."
• Daniel 12:4 (NKJV): "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

Takeaway

Daniel was told knowledge would increase at the time of the end, and today almost anything can be found by almost anyone. That light cuts both ways: it exposes what was hidden, and it exposes us. Guard what you share, be slow to judge others on thin evidence, and trust the God from whom nothing is hidden.
