![]() ![]() They might even be caught up with going faster and trailing behind others but there’s no consideration of where it’s all eventually going or whether it’s the right way. Like the Army Ants, many are just going with the flow of where the rest is going. That blindness leads to further problems. POSSIBLE SCENARIO FOR EMPLOYING THIS ILLUSTRATION DURING APOLOGETIC EVANGELISMĬHRISTIAN: Have your heard of Army Ants and their death circles?ĬHRISTIAN: Let me show this article and video.ĬHRISTIAN: You know what? I think many people are living their lives today like these Army Ants going around in circle.ĬHRISTIAN: Like the Army ants who are blind, people are also spiritually blind to the things of God. Like the Army Ants, many probably don’t see the self-destructiveness of this pattern.Like the Army Ants who are going in circles, many don’t have a point for living they are just going and going.Like the Army Ants, many are just going with the flow of where the rest is going.Like the Army Ants who are blind, many people are also spiritually blind.Here’s a simulation of how these death circles probably starts: Here’s a short video and explanation from an expert:Īpparently the largest ant spiral ever seen was 1,200 feet in diameter, and took two and a half hours for the ants to complete one round. If the ant-in-front loops and intersects with its old trail, the whole crowd then turns in on itself and everybody gets caught in the endless circle.Įventually these Army Ants walking in circles would die from exhaustion. The system works smoothly when everybody’s going in a straight line in one direction…īut when the lead ants start to loop, bad things can happen (and remember we humans loop too, we can’t hold a straight course over long distances without external points of reference). They, in turn, leave chemical trails of their own. These ants are completely blind so they get about by sniffing trails left by the ants in front of them. This is a species of army ant, Labidus praedator. Earlier today I read of a phenomenon known as Ant Death Circles or Death Spirals. I thought a fitting illustration of what people are like can be gleamed from Army Ants. Point: Many in our world today are going through life without a purpose or following God’s purpose. ![]()
