Proverbs 28:4 ¶ They that forsake the law praise the wicked:
but such as keep the law contend with them.
Psalm 12:8 The wicked walk on every side,
when the vilest men are exalted.
Of course the law being talked about here is the
law of God given to Moses. We remember that;
1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
And people who like to sin, who live by it,
whose very character is defined by it, not only want the freedom to do it but
take great pleasure in being confirmed in their obsessions by other people
doing the same.
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them that do them.
However, we are not justified, since Christ’s
resurrection and the beginning of the church age, by keeping the law.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
But, as under the law in Ancient Israel, men who
did wrong according to the law were in constant conflict with those who
followed the law, so today, there is a spiritual and sometimes political war
going on between those who follow Christ and seek to obey Him in their human
frailty and those who worship their own lusts and desire to sin. There will
always be a conflict between those two groups as long as there is faith on the
earth.
Those people, in our country for instance, who
seek to ignore God, make the country God neutral, so to speak, or simply flaunt
their contempt for His word and His people will always have constant conflict
with the people who worship God. As the godless get more and more powerful and
faith gets more and more watered down with less of a dependence on God’s word
and more of a dependence on the opinions of, the agendas of, and the fear of
men in pulpits across the land and people in the congregations the godless will
take their vengeance on God’s people.
Tribulation and martyrdom are the natural and
eventual outcomes for the people of God in that situation. As government had
afforded citizens a constitutional right to murder their unborn children for
the purpose of simply another type of birth control, as sexual perversion of
all kinds becomes more normalized and more accepted, as non-Christian religions
and ideals become pre-eminent, as more and more of mainstream Christianity
moves from the supernatural power of God’s word to the weakness of a fluid
civil religion, as a constant state of warfare becomes necessary to support the
globalist one world agenda, and as wealth becomes gathered in fewer and fewer
hands and the middle class is erased with one group owning the wealth and the
other needing government help just to survive as they work for faceless
corporations or government itself, the spiritual and political war will become
more intense. In America, this began with Christians looking more and more to
government as God’s agent on earth and then, eventually, as a replacement for
God, until their faith lost its salt and became as tasteless as the white of an
egg.
There will come a time and is already here when people who
actually believe the Bible will be marginalized, looked at as fruitcakes, in
the way of progress, unpatriotic, unworthy to be parents, to hold a good paying
job, to serve in government, the armed forces, and eventually will be driven
back to the days of the early church to worship in private homes under peril of
being arrested.
There will always be conflict in the public and
private spheres of life between those who forsake God and those who keep His
word.
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they
be agreed?
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for
what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion
hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what
part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath
said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And
will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty.
This Civil War has been going on since the
tragedy of the Garden of Eden. It will not end until we enter eternity and God
is acknowledged for what He is, Lord of all.
