A Lawless Nation Reformed

This week
the long-awaited and much-dreaded Freeh Report came out on the horrible child
molestation cases at Penn State University, with particular emphasis on the
enormous cover-up on the part of the coaching staff, athletic department, and
administration. The guilt was universal. It was deep. It was inexcusable. It
was disturbing.
It was
American hero worship perfected. Coach Joe Paterno was revered across the land.
Lauded and praised without limit and without cease. Paterno became a god among
men.
It should
not have taken these revelations to put the lie to the notion that any man is a
god. There is one God and HE is about to render judgement on us all.
America is
collapsing before our eyes.
The Rule of
Law is DEAD.
The elites
are utterly corrupt and they strengthen their grip on the good and honest folks
every day.
There is
nothing new under the sun and we find guidance readily in the Bible in Habakkuk
1.
1 The [a] oracle which Habakkuk the
prophet saw.
2 How long, O Lord,
will I call for help,
And You will not hear?
I cry out to You, “Violence!”
Yet You do not save.
3 Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
Yes, destruction and violence are before
me;
Strife exists and contention arises.
4 Therefore the law is ignored
And justice is never upheld.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore justice comes out perverted.
5 “ Look among the nations! Observe!
Be astonished! Wonder!
Because I am doing something in your days—
You would not believe if you were told.
Yes, the law
is ignored. It is ignored in Washington, DC. The law is disregarded under the
Gold Dome in Atlanta. The law is antithesis to the government of Augusta, Georgia.
Justice is
never upheld. Justice comes out perverted. This political season the burgeoning
Liberty Movement succeeded in bringing forth the votes to carry many state and
local conventions, yet they were denied victory by unethical, blunt naked power
plays. In finance, a Federal Reserve primary dealer – a bank empowered to buy
and sell US Debt as a government agent - stole $1.5 billion from customer
accounts, an action met with no arrests. Last week Peregrine Financial Group
was alleged to have done the same thing to the tune of $200 million. This month
has also seen Liborgate, a global interest rate scandal that victimized
billions of people, implicate the central banks of England and the US Federal
Reserve. Justice is never upheld.
The wicked surround the righteous. Look at the Penn State mess. Those who notified authorities saw no investigation, only greater accolades heaped on the perpetrators. Who would believe their words against the man-gods of national champion football staff? Here in Georgia, the legislature is designated the most corrupt in the USA, this in a “Bible Belt” state replete with prayer breakfasts and notions of the “religious right.” We are horribly gone wrong at the hands of these people. God will not be mocked. In Augusta, we see a government adrift, one that has only functioned over the last 4 years by wave of deceit, duplicity, and horse trading of largesse bestowed on the connected of the two warring factions. This is happening in the face of a Greatest Depression. The parasites have multiplied and grow more aggressive in their demands for appeasement.
Something
has to give and it will.
Observe! I
am doing something in your days. Yes, the Lord is doing something. In the day
of Habakkuk, it was the Chaldeans who swept out the corrupt. Tomorrow it will
be the kids in the Liberty movement. The corrupt are old and weak. The lovers of
Liberty are youthful and principled. They might have been overcome this time by
deceit and strong-arm thuggishness, but the next time they will be stronger,
more numerous, and more experienced. The judiciary may be co-opted by the
forces of deceit, but judges and politicians have to live in society. Facts and
truth forcefully presented will make even a judge fear to take the side of
wrong. We are not there yet, but that day will come.
There is an
awakening across America. Woe be unto the deceivers. Their power is built upon
lies and lies disintegrate in the face of truth. The ugly truth may terminate
Penn State football. It should, just as it should sweep out nearly every
politician in the land.
We are not
there yet. The corrupt are still in power. They still control vast portions of the media,
nationally and locally. They can still destroy the reformers. The Paterno-god
was not the only fake deity. Locally we have more than our share.
The
awakening is happening. The awakening
will not be denied. Sooner than most can understand, forces will align and the
evil will be swept away.
The prophet complains to God of the violence done by the
abuse of the sword of justice among his own people and the hardships thereby
put upon many good people (v. 1-4).
II. God by him foretells the punishment of that abuse of power by the sword of
war, and the desolations which the army of the Chaldeans should make upon them
(v. 5-11).
III. Then the prophet complains of that too, and is grieved that the Chaldeans
prevail so far (v. 12-17),
so that he scarcely knows which is more to be lamented, the sin or the punishment
of it, for in both many harmless good people are very great sufferers. It is
well that there is a day of judgment, and a future state, before us, in which
it shall be eternally well with all the righteous, and with them only, and ill
with all the wicked, and them only; so the present seeming disorders of
Providence shall be set to rights, and there will remain no matter of complaint
whatsoever.
Tomorrow will be bright in America, but for now some of us must gird for battle like modern day Chaldeans on a mission from God. In verse 6, the Lord says "behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans." Reform won't come by any foreign Chaldeans, but from us, all of us, arising to take American back.
