“I will give children to be their princes,
And babes shall rule over them. The people will be oppressed,
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
The child will be insolent toward the elder,
And the base toward the honorable.”
Isaiah 3:4-5
NIV Translation regarding the consequences of God’s judgment in these verses: “I will make boys their officials. Mere children will govern them. People will oppress each other..Man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the base against the honorable.”
Isaiah 5:12-13 speaks to our current conditions, as well. “Youths oppress my people. Women rule over them. O, my people your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path. The Lord takes his place in court; He rises to judge the people.”
As far as I can see, the day of judgment is very close for the US. Our population is being ripped of reason and civilized behavior through a hostile media, which displays bullying against whomever they can around the clock; Science is being politicized through the lies of climate change and through the re-gendering of our children. We cannot save most who are now addicted to opioids. It is the leprosy of our time. Never before have I seen such an out and out attack without real cause against a President or high official, elected by the people according to our laws. Pure evil is on display through the greatest weapon existing in our world, the tongue. Those who read the Biblical Scriptures know what is coming if God’s people do not intervene, through prayer enough to cause Him to withhold his hand against the sin running rampant in this nation. My opinion.
We live in a time as Jeremiah. The nation turns from God and this generation are sons of Esau. They trade their inheritance for pottage filled with poison. Unless God stay his hand, our nation will perish as we deserve. No man knows the mind of God, nor the length of His patience, but we all face the end of our time. All we can do is Trust in Him and pray for Revival. No political solution will fix the spiritual darkness that has enveloped our nation.
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:8-9
