LETTER TO THE
BROTHERS AND
SISTERS IN CHRIST
【ERA OF CHIMERAS & LONGEVITY】
But mark this: there will be terrible times in the
last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers
of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love,
unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal,
not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – 5 having
a form of godliness but denying its power. Have
nothing to do with such people……
12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in
Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and
impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and
being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you
have learned and have become convinced of, because
you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how
from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise for salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed
and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God
may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2TIMOTHY 3:1-17.
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who
will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his
appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:
2 preach the word; be prepared in season and out of
season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great
patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will
come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather
round them a great number of teachers to say what
their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their
ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure
hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all
the duties of your ministry. 2TIMOTHY 4:1-5.

Eternal Fellowship
News Bulletin
We believe in one GOD, in three
persons; FATHER, SON and
HOLY SPIRIT. We regard the
Bible (both Hebrew Bible and
New Testament) as the only
infallible authoritative
WORD OF GOD.
HULDAH MINISTRY aims to return
to the Word Of God, founded on
Hebrew background and to interpret
it from Hebraic perspective,
acknowledging that Jesus is a Jew
and the Jewish-ness of His teaching
as a continuation from the Hebrew
Bible. The Ministry also aims to put
His teaching into practice, to have a
closer relationship with the Lord,
Jesus Christ, and to regularly have
a Christian fellowship so that this-
worldly kingdom of God will
materialise in the midst of the
followers of Jesus here and now, as
well as earnestly seeking Christ's
Return to establish the otherworldly
Kingdom of God on earth.
All activities are free of charge and no obligation
whatever. Just enjoy our fellowship!

We are without doubt living in the midst of godlessness of the last days, when biblical
worldview has long been rejected in human history. For example, recently unisex ideas have been
thrust into society, with the use of gender-specific terms such as “he” and “she”, or “husband”
and “wife” being replaced by plural terms such as “they”, thereby marring God’s distinctive
creation of male and female. Apostle Paul, fully aware of his impending death during his second
arrest in a Roman dungeon, sent his last letter to his spiritual son, Timothy and warned him about
the apostasy of the church, as quoted above. Contrary to the popular teaching of the Prosperity
Gospel and the Word of Faith Movement, the Scripture does not teach either that the Church is to
convert the world, or, that she is to bring in the messianic kingdom on earth. As Paul illustrated in
the passages, things will get far worse towards the end because hearts of people will be
demonically affected even within the church. The word Paul used for ‘terrible times’ in verse 1 is
the same word used to describe the violent ‘demon-possessed men’ in the region of the
Gadarenes in Mt.8:28, which suggests that in the last days demonic activities would be
increasingly powerful. It will also cause many to abandon the Lord’s teachings: ‘ The Spirit
clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and
things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences
have been seared as with a hot iron’ (1Ti.4:1-2). Paul enumerated nineteen indicators of how
church-goers will turn out to be: ‘lovers of themselves, lovers of money……lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power’ and concluded
with an order: ‘Have nothing to do with such people’. In this way, Paul bluntly and clearly
teaches the righteous to avoid any contact with such people characterised above who operate
under the guise of religion as a pious Christian.
In the following passages from verse 6 onwards, Paul describes how people will be deceived
by false teachers: ‘They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over
gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil
desires……but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth……so also these teachers
oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are
rejected’. This, unfortunately is the reality of our era when such deceivers have crept in through
the internet, You-tube and the media, and satanic manipulative signs and wonders in the name of
Christian ministries have fascinated many who have become blind to God’s Word. While to
remain faithful to His Word has been getting harder for Christ’s true followers in this world today,
it might soon become dangerous according to Christ’s teaching. However, the Word of God alone
is the antidote against global apostasy. It is why Paul emphatically urged Timothy to remain in
what he learnt from infancy; ‘the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you (him) wise for
salvation through faith in Christ Jesus’ and to endeavour to preach it because ‘all Scripture is
God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so
that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work’. Paul’s last message
is worth keeping in mind today, when apostasy has already widely crept into churches.
When we ignore God’s Word and go away from His creation order, by putting our interest
first, what will be the consequence? Recent unstoppable acceleration of transhumanism oriented
scientific research towards life extension technologies in this world is dreadful, which would
necessarily lead us into God’s judgment but never “utopia” as transhumanists envision. They
have been so far successful in appealing to public opinion with alluring bright perspectives for
the future: the concept of achieving immortality. The following article: ‘Superhuman Powers And
Life Extension Technologies Will Allow Us To Become Like God’ by Michael Snyder on 13th
May ’14 conveys to us of the total godlessness of our society. “If you could merge your current mind
and body with technology that would give you superhuman powers and would allow you to live forever,
would you do it? This is essentially what the transhumanism movement is seeking to
accomplish. Transhumanists envision a day when technology will allow humanity to become so advanced
that sickness, disease, poverty and war will essentially be eradicated. They believe that merging with

3. 3
machines will permit us to become trillions of times more intelligent than we are today, and they also believe
that radical life extension technologies will make it possible for humanity to actually achieve
immortality. Many transhumanists are convinced that such a world can be achieved within their lifetimes…..
the idea of achieving immortality in our decaying physical bodies would sound absolutely ridiculous. But
transhumanists are very serious about this. One way they are seeking to accomplish this is by searching for
a method that will enable them to store the human mind on a computer. If your entire consciousness could
be “uploaded” into a computer, it could conceivably later be downloaded into a futuristic avatar of some sort
once that technology has been developed……’Other futurists and transhumanists are working toward
improving longevity through more biological means, such as growing new organs from stems cells,
replacing worn out parts of the body with high-tech updated models, and curing diseases through genetic
reprogramming. A third method of achieving a transhuman state of being may come through merging the
biological and non biological in equal measure, such as embedding nano robots into the bloodstream and
brain; and replacing atoms with nano computers to solve the degeneration that comes with aging’.
According to transhumanists, not only will we be able to live much longer, but our quality of life will also be
so much better in the future……They believe that we can use science and technology to guide the evolution
of society and that this will create a far better world than we have today……‘Transhumanism is a thrust
toward transcendence. It is not classical mysticism but seeks a temporal transcendence. The driving force
behind this is evolution……We should thus have a will to evolve. We have a moral responsibility to increase
evolution and do so by continually striving to expand our abilities throughout life by acting in harmony with
the evolutionary process… Science and technology move us toward Utopia. One of the most exciting
things about transhumanism is that all will be fixed’ (http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/transhumanists-
superhuman-powers-and-life-extension-technologies-will-allow-us-to-become-like-god).
While transhumanists declare their validity of pursuing longevity by utilizing all possible
manipulative methods from genetic reprogramming to robotic technology in terms of curing
diseases and human life extension, the Scripture contradicts it. Since sin entered man, man was
sentenced to die under God’s mercy, which means that unless man physically dies once, he/she
will never be raised into a resurrection life and live eternally with God in His utopian eternal
kingdom. God’s creation order declares: ‘people are destined to die once, and after that to face
judgment’ (He.9:27). In 2Kings Chapter 20, there is an intriguing account of King Hezekiah’s
miraculous healing from terminal illness and fifteen year extension of his life as a result of his
earnest pleading to the Lord. This account is exciting and gives hopeful anticipation for healing,
yet it casts a question of the meaning of extended life. When he was given his sentence of
impending death by the Prophet Isaiah, Hezekiah wholeheartedly poured out his heart to the Lord
in petition; how faithful he was to Him, how much he devoted himself to Him, how well he
behaved as king, God’s vice-regent throughout his life and so on. Hezekiah’s prayer and his tears
moved the Lord to heal him, and He also promised him a deliverance of Jerusalem from Assyrian
king Sennacherib’s siege for his and King David’s sake. However, pointing at three facts which
took place during his extended life spans beyond God’s appointed time would naturally lead us to
rethink of the propriety of extended life：1. His careless openness towards Babylonian visitors
led to their future invasion of Jerusalem, 2. His son Manasseh grew to be the worst king in the
line of Judah, 3. In his later days Hezekiah’s heart was filled with pride and arrogance. Recent
trend of pursuing longevity would remind us of God’s Word: ‘There is a way that appears to be
right, but in the end it leads to death’ (Pr.16:25).
The following is also an article by Michael Snyder: ‘The Era Of Chimeras: Scientists
Fearlessly Create Bizarre Human/Animal Hybrids’ on 19th May, ’14, which informs us how hard
it will be for scientists to resist the temptation of the hybridisation between human and animal
DNAs. Did you know that scientists are creating cow/human hybrids, pig/human hybrids and even
mouse/human hybrids? This is happening every single day in labs all over the western world, but most
people have never even heard about it. So would you drink milk from a cow/human hybrid that produces
milk that is almost identical to human breast milk? ……These are the kinds of questions that we will have to

4. 4
start to address as a society as scientists create increasingly bizarre human/animal hybrids. Thanks to
dramatic advances in genetic technology, we have gotten to the point where it is literally possible for college
students to create new hybrid lifeforms in their basements. Of course our laws have not kept pace with
these advances, and now that Pandora’s Box has been opened, it is going to be nearly impossible to shut it.
Scientists try to justify the creation of human/animal hybrids by telling us that it will help “cure disease” and
help “end world hunger”, but what if scientists discover that combining human DNA with animal DNA can
give us incredible new abilities or greatly extended lifespans? Will humanity really have the restraint to
keep from going down that road?......
For example, just check out the following excerpt from an NBC News article about what is going on in
Nevada… ‘On a farm about six miles outside this gambling town, Jason Chamberlain looks over a flock of
about 50 smelly sheep, many of them possessing partially human livers, hearts, brains and other organs.
The University of Nevada-Reno researcher talks matter-of-factly about his plans to euthanize one of the
pregnant sheep in a nearby lab. He can’t wait to examine the effects of the human cells he had injected into
the fetus’ brain about two months ago.’ … ‘Scientists have created genetically-engineered mice with artificial
human chromosomes in every cell of their bodies, as part of a series of studies showing that it may be
possible to treat genetic diseases with a radically new form of gene therapy. In one of the unpublished
studies, researchers made a human artificial chromosome in the laboratory from chemical building blocks
rather than chipping away at an existing human chromosome, indicating the increasingly powerful
technology behind the new field of synthetic biology.’ And researchers at the University of Wisconsin figured
out a way to transfer cells from human embryos into the brains of mice. When those cells from the human
embryos began to grow and develop, they actually made the mice substantially smarter…
‘……For the Rochester study, researchers implanted newborn mice with nascent human glial cells,
which help support and nourish neurons in the brain. Six months later, the human parts had elbowed out the
mouse equivalents, and the animals had enhanced ability to solve a simple maze and learn conditioned
cues. These protocols might run afoul of the anti-hybrid laws, and perhaps they should arouse some
questions. These chimeric mice may not be human, or even really human, but they’re certainly one step
further down the path to Algernon. It may not be so long before we’re faced with some hairy bioethics: What
rights should we assign to mice with human brains?’ So what should we call mice that have brains that are
mostly human? And at what point would our relationship with such creatures fundamentally change? When
they learn to talk? Scientists all over the planet are recklessly creating these chimeras without really thinking
through the implications. In China, scientists have actually inserted human genes into the DNA of dairy cow
embryos. Now there are hundreds of human/cow hybrids that produce milk that is virtually identical to
human breast milk. Would you buy such milk if it showed up in your supermarket? The scientists that
“designed” these cows say that is the goal. But of course this is just the tip of the iceberg……
As technology continues to advance, the possibilities are going to be endless……‘Professor George
Church of Harvard Medical School believes he can reconstruct Neanderthal DNA and resurrect the species
which became extinct 33,000 years ago……His scheme is reminiscent of Jurassic Park but, while in the film
dinosaurs were created in a laboratory, Professor Church’s ambitious plan requires a human volunteer……’
And right now, the U.S. federal government is actually considering a plan which would allow scientists to
create babies that come from genetic material drawn from three parents… ‘A new technology aimed at
eliminating genetic disease in newborns would combine the DNA of three people, instead of just two, to
create a child, potentially redrawing ethical lines for designer babies……Because the process would change
only a small, specific part of genetic code, scientists say a baby would largely retain the physical
characteristics of the parents. Still, DNA from all three — mother, father and donor — would remain with the
child throughout a lifetime, opening questions about long-term effects for this generation, and potentially the
next. Ethicists worry that allowing pre-birth gene manipulation may one day lead to build-to-order designer
babies……’ Many scientists believe that these kinds of technologies will “change the world”……When we
start monkeying with human DNA, we could be opening up doorways that we never even knew existed. If
we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
