Take a look around and see what has happened over the past three years. Can you see how dire the situation is becoming?
The Lord has brought a couple thoughts to my mind to warn people and nations of their fate in the current trending ways.
God is going to allow the United States to get what it is pushing for. And that is to do as it pleases without God in its thoughts. And sadly it’s our own faults because we have sit back and let it infiltrate our land. Granted some of it has be subtle. But when our sports, music, and me-time is involved, we like to sit back and not cause to much of a “stir” because that would hit to close to home for us.
If you want to read something that is chilling, read Isaiah 3 and you can see what happens when this type of thinking occurs.
If Isaiah 3 does not parallel with our current worldly situation, then I hope you come to the knowledge of the truth.
Here are a few things from that chapter. Ask yourself, is that not what is happening now?
- “And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.” (Isaiah 3:4)
Ask yourself why there is such a push to have children be the authority (think global climate girl). - “And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.” (Isaiah 3:5)
Ask yourself has there every been a time that a child (I’m not necessarily talking about little ones, but older ages up through 20s) have behaved so boastfully (think professional sports games, taunting, boasting, proud). - “The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they [hide it not] (emphasis added). Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.” (Isaiah 3:9)
Ask yourself, is not this the case that the sin that was occuring during Sodom not also wildly prevalent today. And they are not shameful for this behaviour? (think everyday news media proganda). - “Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:” (Isaiah 3:16)
Ask yourself, has there ever been so much arrogance amongst people that walk around with stretched forth necks (think the USA soccer woman). - “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and [women rule over them] (emphasis added). O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
Ask yourself, why is there such a push to have more women rights. The woman is looking for rule. Why, when this is not bibical. (think how news media/etc. push this everyday, and even some churches).
It is interesting to note that in verse 18 of Isaiah 3, that the Lord will take away a list of items. And amongst that list include, tablets and nose jewels. It is interesting that tablets could possibility be referred to as modern day IPad, PC tablets, devices, etc. That is something to consider. Also, it is very interesting that the words “nose jewels” are spoken of during that time. Now, ask yourself, what is more prevalent today than the past 50 years. It is people having nose rings. I’ll let you do your own study about that connection. But the point is how the United States (and other nations) are paralleling with the process of the days spoken of in Isaiah 3.
Now, be honest with yourself and ask if the above list of items are not, indeed, happening today?
Read the rest of Isaiah 3 and you will see exactly what happens to the United States. God will let us be our own destruction.
But there is hope for you individually.
What is that hope, you might ask.
Believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel is that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. (1 Cor. 15:1-4)
What better time than this week to believe the gospel to be saved?
Take care,
-Brent
