Here is the BIG Question!

Are we intellectually stronger than our ancestors to assimilate the actualities and the mysterious secrets of this universe and far beyond?

As far my perception goes, based on the facts that I am monotheistic, believing in one of the Abrahamic offshoots; There is a God, one supreme supernatural power (keeping the discussions of personal or apersonal being aside) and this god has sent prophets/ messengers to every nation on the earth. Time and again couplets were communicated to advise man of his actions and beliefs. All the three mentioned religions have a concept of messianic time proposing a future world wherein God will send his custodian/ friend for the rescue of humanity (call it Messiah in Jews, the second coming of Jesus in Christianity or The Mehdi), this period is ought to be the culmination of the conception of this universe. People in the period mentioned above are believed to live in justice and success.

Now, a question arises, what about the times in history when God sent his prophets to the nations? Why were these not considered the auspicious times? The answer is pretty simple; God made human with free will, gave him the tools to make decisions, do right or wrong based on his intellectual power. The intellect is defined as "the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively." alternatively, "the ability of the mind to come to correct conclusions about what is true or real." There is no doubt that intellect grows with experience, education, and exposure to new areas of science. It is a continuous, time-bound process, and in fact, God sent the prophets to prep us for this process of intellectuality.

Witnessing the disasters we have done around the globe, have we obtained the level of intellectuality for God to shower the secrets of this universe and far beyond upon us? In other words are we ready for the beginning of the messianic world, if not, how long will it take us to realize the importance of humanity, truth and justice?
