Derision in Microcosm - By Terry James -
When witnessing things going on in the American political world over the past months, one can but come to one conclusion: The Lord is at work directing all things into eschatological channels of His own design.
Those who adamantly oppose godliness are mostly on the side of one political party. They are for everything the Lord in Heaven says He is against. God is making that opposition clear by confusing them for all the world to see.
This opposition party to God's desires for human conduct adheres to going against the Lord's key principles of life: They are for murder of the unborn and even those just born-i.e., they are for abortion under the guise of giving the woman the right to choose. They are champions of men having sexual relations with other men and women having sexual relations with other women.
This is happening even under the auspices of the so-called clergy who approve of this unbiblical activity. They define marriage as being, basically, anything one wants it to be-a man can marry another man or a woman another woman. Even more insanely, some have been given the go-ahead by these anti-God adherents to marry their animals or even inanimate objects of their affection.
In earlier times, reports of things going on under this "progressive" mindset would have defied logic. But now, the abnormal-even abhorrent-activity is seen by these anti-God forces as not only okay, but as more mainstream in propriety than the formerly truly normal human activity.
I refer, for example, to the views that have been developing regarding pedophilia. Even courses in academia at the university level now hold that including children in sexual activity with adults is to be "normed"-not considered psychological dysfunction or criminal activity, but just an alternate way of looking at things.
As we've looked at before in these commentaries, people are now perfectly "normal" if they consider themselves to be a gender other than what their birth certificate shows. By this, they're saying that the Creator didn't know what He was doing. He has no right to declare who is man, who is woman, or whatsoever else they want to be, I guess.
Grade-school children and even younger are being subjected to transvestites who try to lure them into becoming such as themselves. Parents are considered by the "progressive" mindset as being the haters and evil holdouts to human advancement if they oppose having their children inculcated in such a manner.
The party of choice among these anti-God forces applauds and holds up as icons of the new wave of society and culture a presidential candidate who kisses his "husband" on stage at political rallies. The mainstream news and entertainment media embrace this as normal and even preferable. By this, they applaud shaking off the bonds of godly restraint as put forth in God's Holy Word.
Democrat candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg, an avowed homosexual married to another male, has voiced the "progressive" thinking in wishing to throw off godly restraints as America moves forward in history.
He said recently that he condemned Vice President Mike Pence's view of morality and Christianity. He declared that America must change from its narrow definition of morality by saying it's time to move on from that old mode, to something that is more "inclusive" and "humane."
By this it means he is unhappy with those who are against the lifestyle of the LGBTQ (and P for pedophile) community because of narrow-minded belief in biblical precepts for godly living.
That he is in favor of throwing off all these moralistic bands that inhibit people from doing what is right in their own eyes is the message.
Mayor Buttigieg is but one of many within today's Democrat Party who expresses opposition to God's way of conducting life. We remember recent comments by one of the campaign planners for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. He declared, in a video secretively obtained by the Veritas organization, that if Sanders and associates are elected, he will immediately and summarily kill some who oppose them. He will then make sure, he said, that others are sent to retraining camps to get their minds right. Still others would be locked away in labor camp gulags, never again to interfere with progressive movement.
Make no mistake, the evil that inspired the Nazi thugs of Hitler's time continues to interact with the would-be diabolists of these troubled times. If given the chance, they would do exactly what this campaign associate of one of the leading Democrat candidates promises. This is not to say that all who are in that political party are of the same mindset as this campaign worker. But, neither were many in 1930s Germany of the same mindset as the Nazis and their Fuhrer.
The mindset just described as growing in our time is a reminder of just where this generation stands on God's prophetic timeline. The Lord had something to say about the ultimate outcome of such rebellion.
His Word begins with a question, then gives a devastating answer to all who would throw off the moral restraints He has prescribed.
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
(Psalms 2:1-7)
The one who will judge this rebellious world is none other than the person God declares to be His Son in this prophecy.
We have watched God have the opposition political party in almost complete derision this past week and even in earlier times. It is but a foretaste of things to come when, at the end of this age, the Lord Jesus Christ will judge all whom He calls "earth dwellers"-those who are in rebellion against Him.
