What is happening to the United States? Where is the law and order upon which it has been founded? Where is the protection? How can any sane person state that we don’t need or want any police? Is the Constitution still the basis for our land?
What is God doing or allowing? This has happened before in history. God is giving the U. S. the judgment He has long warned us of coming.
Isaiah 3:1-3 For behold, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread and the whole stay of water, the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the adviser, and the skilled worker, and the expert charmer.
God is removing all rational, biblical, godly leaders from leadership. He is giving us what type of leaders we desire.
Isaiah 3:4-5 And I will give young boys to be their rulers, and caprices shall rule over them. And the people shall be crushed, every man by another, and every man by his neighbor; the boy shall act proudly against the old man, and the low against the honorable.
This sounds a lot like yesterday’s headlines. Who is rioting in the streets? Is is the 65 and older crowd? Is the wise or the foolish? Is is the godly or the godless?
Isaiah 3:6-9 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand; in that day he shall swear, saying, I will not be a healer; there is no bread nor a cloak in my house. You shall not make me a ruler of the people.
For Jerusalem is ruined and Judah has fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of His glory. The look of their faces witnesses against them; and they declare their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it! Woe to their soul! For they have rewarded evil to themselves.
Evil is being rewarded, lawlessness is being lauded, and truth is being trampled upon. But God is not asleep nor unaware. He is allowing this and will judge, condemn, and punish all of them.
Nahum 1:2-3 God is jealous, and Jehovah revenges; Jehovah revenges and is a possessor of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance against His foes, and He keeps wrath against His enemies. Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power. And He does not by any means acquit the guilty. Jehovah has His way in the tempest and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.
Isaiah 3:10-11 Say to the righteous that it is well; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe to the wicked! For the evil doing of his hand will be done to him.
Justice from God will include punishment from God. But it may not be seen in our lifetime, but it will be experienced in eternity future for all evil doers.
Isaiah 3:12 As for my people, children are their taskmasters, and women rule over them. Oh my people, your rulers cause you to go astray and destroy the way of your paths.
When men give up their God-ordained roles as spiritual leaders, God gives the world over to women and children. The most vocal, loud, lewd voices today are often out of the mouths of women who desire to control everything and everybody. There is no ladylike behavior tolerated, exhibited, or exampled today. Tough, determined, self-made women dominate the airwaves.
God has given to us what we deserve.
