Sexual harassment and assault have become pandemic issues, as evidenced by the viral #MeToo movement that emerged following the Harvey Weinstein allegations. Millions of women worldwide have shared their stories of harassment and assault, revealing the staggering scope of this problem.

The root cause isn't about what victims wear or how they behave - it stems from perpetrators' twisted mindsets and their objectification of others. Jesus expanded on the commandment "You shall not commit adultery" to include lustful thoughts, showing that the issue begins in the heart and mind.

Imagine a world where everyone respected each other as human beings, without lust or objectification. The #MeToo movement wouldn't need to exist. Women wouldn't fear violation or humiliation. While legislation can't change hearts and minds, the Bible promises a future where God's laws will be internalized by all people.

In this coming world, women won't have to fear being alone with bosses, choose between dignity and supporting their families, or worry about defending themselves against assault. All people will be safe and protected, regardless of gender or ethnicity.

Until then, we can start implementing these principles in our own lives. By understanding and following the deeper spiritual principles Jesus revealed, we can contribute to positive change while awaiting the larger transformation promised for humanity's future.
