Everything has become political.
I don't see much difference between what is happening today and what was happening while Jesus walked the earth.
The comparrisons are uncanny.
Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
the "law" is political. Whether it is God's law or man's law. Law is a political tool.
Daniel was captured by Babylon and brought under it's subjection. He was given food to eat which he declined.
He was told to worship an image or be put to death. He declined.
mint and anise and cummin represent commerce and trade, which is what runs the world today, money.
judgment, mercy and faith come from the heart and runs God's kingdom not the world's.
Jesus protested. War will come later.
WOE unto you hypocrites...
Isa 3:11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Isa 10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness
which they have prescribed;
Isa 10:2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and
that they may rob the fatherless!
Isa 10:3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation
which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Isa 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Mic 2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Luk 11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also,
ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice,
ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Deu 32:35 To me
belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in
due time: for the day of their calamity
is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but
rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance
is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
It's difficult to sit on the sidelines....
But in truth we are not just sitting.. we are the witnesses who will give testimony against the evil in the world.
And our children will know, and our children's children will know, and history will be recorded.
We are witnesses... to a world gone mad.
