EFFECT OF OVERPOPULATION

The Effects of Overpopulation
The increase in the world population has great meaning for both humans and God. In early days, God encouraged humans to reproduce (Old Testament Bible, Book of Genesis 1:28).
World overpopulation was the primary reason for God to equip humans with the knowledge necessary to develop scientific technology, which subsequently served daily life. In reality, all good and bad things have their limitations, and overpopulation is no exception. In ancient times, there were less humans on Earth—thus, God encouraged man to reproduce to increase the population. But if the population increases without control, in the long term this will bring about unexpected disadvantages.
For example: the world, in the time of 2000 years ago, is compared to a construction site that were seriously in short of laborers, which need to have lots of human sources in order to maintain progress. But if continuing to recruit more workers as before (overpopulation), this could cause the construction site to go bankrupt.
Recently, there has been no group or scientist who has studied to predict how many people can live on Earth sustainably. We do not know when God will decide to enact the final judgment—maybe in 500 years, or 5000 years, or more. It cannot happen soon though. So if humans continue to reproduce at their current rate, at the end of 22nd century the world population will be approximately 20 billion people, and imagine how many people there will be in the 30th century!
Though we can’t predict the exact day of the final judgment, we can still guess what will happen on this day. The more crowded the world population is, the less man can be released by God. The more man exists, the higher the standard of selection will be. How many people God will release in the future is not known for sure. After release, humans will be immortal and enjoy heavenly lives consisting of many factors, and space will be the most important.
If humans live in a tiny city, in crowded high rise apartments and with a high density population, these conditions are not conducive to a perfect life. Humans need to live with nature. Beautiful sights and romantic rivers are part of an enjoyable life. Therefore, an overcrowded world population will not meet these needs.
In the future, if humanity maintains its current population growth, maybe God will adjust and cut the supply of new souls for humans. He will adjust by making people infertile or spreading epidemic diseases such as HIV as a warning against the abuse of sex. Later, there may appear many kinds of viruses, much more horrific than HIV, which will be brought to Earth by angels from outer space. Also, God could bring about disasters and other deadly things to balance the world population.
Therefore, from now on, we must limit the growth of our population. Otherwise, we will have many troubles in sustaining life for humankind, and may harm ourselves through many unexpected events.
Each of us has to die, but there is no forever death. All souls are reincarnated continuously, until the final judgment day when they will enjoy perfect and immortal life. Therefore, we should not try to reproduce, as this can be harmful for us.
