8 Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the LORD, defying his glorious presence. 9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves. 10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. 11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done. 12 Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. O my people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path.
13 The LORD takes his place in court; he rises to judge the people. 14 The LORD enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people: "It is you who have ruined my vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses. 15 What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?" declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty.
16 The LORD says, "The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles. 17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the LORD will make their scalps bald." 18 In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, 19 the earrings and bracelets and veils, 20 the headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings, 22 the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls. 24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding. 25 Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle. 26 The gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
I agree. The average young man or man is a spiky haired, girl jean wearing, sweater vested, half-talking pansy.
Today’s men may be using the “effiminate” part as an act to attract women. Their strength in these cases is to compel their paramours to undergo repeated abortions. All in the name of “sexual freedom”, really secular slavery.
It’s from the St. Crispians Day speech:
Holding one’s manhood cheap is a choice with consequences.
It could be that the ground water is contaminated by birth control drugs. That can’t be good.
I don’t think He’s giving us anything. We’re doing it to ourselves. We told Him to get out of our way, and He did. Now we’re paying the consequences for such a stupid demand.
The good news is that He’ll come back if we ask Him, though: “’Return to me, and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
Exhibit A and B.
It already has, and it's a disaster.
There are plenty of “men” still in the US, but we are not part of the culture. We have been rejected by this “culture”, and live largely apart from it.
Logical outcome of the feminists’ War On Boys that has been ongoing since the 1960’s.
Andrew Jackson comes to mind. Neither Wall Street nor the hip generation would care for him but he would be good medicine for our country’s current sickness.
“Affordable Care” I could support
Sounds about right in the headline.

The best post and info I have read here on FR xzins!
Usually when the bible is quoted anywhere on the net and opinions follow, I’ll grab the bible and see for myself, usually to find the verse was misquoted or misinterpreted (ie - Sell your cloak for a sword, often misinterpreted IMO). This post was dead on.
I really believe Christian men need to study up on this subject. We have become soft. My problem has always been the New Testament and never seeing anything about physically standing up to tyranny and evil. It’s all about love and faith which I understand but when or how does a believer confront issues we face today. At some time the gloves have to come off. Can the gloves only come off when the Govt says so as when they declare a war? Can men declare war?
Yes, we have a lot of tough guys today (huge athletes, MMA guys, brawlers, muscled ghetto thugs etc), but no tough guys to lead the good cause and have the courage to make a stand against the forces that are getting stronger every minute.
God has turned America over to its retrobate mind. The Bible says He will and He has. America in my humble opinion has been judged. It has been found wanting. America will fall. God is going to see to it. A lot of Bible believers say “where is America in prophesy? Surely a great nation like America should be mentioned.” Well, it is. America, or whatever it is called by then, and under some type of flag, maybe the Antichrist’s new flag and not our current one, will gather with all the nations of the world at the Valley of Meggido. There, what was America will get its final judgment as it is destroyed along with everyone else. God gave us what we wanted. America wanted a homosexual loving, baby murdering, Muslin, Jew and Christian hating thug. It got it. Great job America. Now, those who can, get on your knees and ask the Lord for forgiveness while you can. Time grows short. He is coming!!!
What a crock! God is not doing anything of the kind; the blame is on all of those who voted for these RINOs and democrats, who refused to vote for someone whose positions or religion does not exactly match theirs even though it meant that this Nazi regime would stay in office. God let’s you dig your own hole to hell and it is up to you to pull yourself and the rest of the country out of this mistake. You can pray for relief until you’re blue in the face but God isn’t going to sweep them away in a flood or rain of fire when the needed changes are up to you.
Hits the nail on the head. (Thanks for this post.)
Isaiah 3:4-—
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
King James Version. (I don’t trust the NIV—weird translations in parts.)
Are you still killing your unborn? -- GOD |
No...we’ve given OURSELVES those type of leaders by allowing the liberal, socialists, and communists to get away with pretty much everything since the 1960s. We did nothing while they advanced. Sad, harsh, but true.
