Hating Order - Loving the Stupid

Today in the news, Sony is removing a video game that might accidentally offend someone. A man in Britain is being made to tear down his barbed wire fence because it might injure thieves. An 18 year old Indian girl is flogged to death because she was suspected of inappropriate behavior. There is a national manhunt for a Texas immigrant who executed his two daughters in what is being called an 'honor killing', and relatives are asking the authorities to treat it differently because of this 'culture'. We are diluted to the point where there is nothing recognizable as order in the world anymore. The commercial where the company boasts that they 'do the right thing' is very attractive, but it's science fiction in scope.

This nation has never been an accurate thermometer of the state the world is in, but it does represent the valve on the world's boiler, and we're about to go. It is easy to see why the book of Revelation says the events will occur quickly. Once the ball starts rolling, it wont stop until it hits the bottom of the hill. Here's the famine we are heading for:

  • The Word of God - Not allowed as a guide or reputable resource for planning anything beyond how to spend your Sunday. If you intend to reference its contents at work, school, or court house, you risk stiff penalty, imprisonment, defamation and ridicule.
  • Logic - there is nothing logical about worshiping the planet. When we outlaw nuclear energy, oil drilling, coal mining, and tree cutting, we will be back to burning cow chips. Oh wait... cow flatulence contributes to global warming as well (no joke.. I didn't make that up) so no more cows. We'll just bundle up and eat rice cakes, if we aren't burning them.
  • Love - 'the love of many will wax cold'
In Revelation 16, we see the culmination of the Lord's judgment upon the earth. As a friend of mind put it, "there's no love, here". He's right... the world rejected LOVE. It starts with sores. We are so into pharmaceutical worship that we have no reliance upon the great Healer. Then we go to blood. The women of our fine, civilized country are so enamored with their right to take the life of their own babies, and our spineless men have not the guts or intellect to lead them otherwise. Everything will become blood - read it - it is what we've asked for. Then we have the sun scorching everything. You want global warming to be true so that it suits your political agenda? Just wait - you've got good times 'acomin'. Then darkness... everyone is gnawing on their tongues. Christ said "I am the light", but the world hates the Light, so... enjoy. Then comes the war from the kings of the east. Cater to the nations who hate Yahweh and seek to destroy His people. This, too, will come back upon us. Finally, an earthquake that will shake the world - no mountain left standing, no island left above water. A really bad time to be a cave dweller, except... doh... hail. Big, 100lb hail stones... run from that. There will be nowhere to go. There will be nothing left. Think of this, the majority of THIS MILLENNIUM will be spent looking at decimated wreckage that used to be cars, homes, barns, businesses... all that we work so hard to build and protect... rubbish... after this hail storm. We're buying it, all of it.

This sounds snide and I guess it is. I'm sick of the news. I'm sick of stupid, deceived leaders and the vocal few that seem to have the ears of the media and the courts. I'm sick of bowing down to mammon - and that being the 'norm'. I'm sick of political correctness - there is nothing correct about politics. We are in desperate need of a 'wise king'. Until He arrives, we have nothing to do but FOCUS. It's a distracting world out there.
