The prophetic world they created–Libs in hiding
The New York Times reports that many wealthy people are now putting “panic rooms” in their houses in case of a “home invasion.” Interviewed were several former politicians, actors and actresses, all liberals. Welcome to the world they created. Now they are cowering in it, afraid to embrace the fallen world informed by the poor morals, failed politics and outright anti-God concepts they have helped to foment. One of the people who builds these bullet proof bunkers for hundreds of thousands of dollars says, “The world is a very scary place right now, especially for people of means; they feel cornered and threatened. When you have so much to lose, and you can afford to, you put a premium on your safety.”
It probably doesn’t occur to them that all their leftist ideals from abortion to same sex marriage to gun control to global warming to illegal immigration to glorification of violence in movies and television to the covetousness of heavy taxation to taking God out of the public square to non-gender bathrooms to, well whatever…you get the point–all this contributes to pushing the world toward a dark place. Actor Robert Redford said in a commencement speech at Maine’s Colby College: “You’re stepping into a world that’s, well, pretty rough. It’s pretty chaotic, pretty divisive. You’ve got climate change, you’ve got debt, you’ve got wars, you’ve got political paralysis. It’s kind of a grim story.” Captain Obvious or Major Obliviousness?
It’s kind of like the “president” saying that the best way to stop street violence associated with poverty is through jobs. Yet his policies have not only driven a record number of people out of the workforce, but also have caused a record number to go on welfare. Another example is how liberals want strict enforcement of sexual harassment laws, yet they promote sex without consequences beginning in elementary school. They demand equal pay for equal work, yet women on their own staffs are paid far less than men doing the same jobs. It seems with these people that good intentions account for more than effective actions. And their actions have the opposite impact. Big hat, no cattle.
2 Timothy 3 is a prophecy about the fallen world in the latter days. Verse 1 says, “…in the last days perilous times shall come.” The Apostle Paul goes on to list all the perils and they pretty well match the world in which we live. While others may hide from the perils they helped advance, we have a better way. Verses 14-17 advise: “But continue thou in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them; and that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” Let your light so shine!
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
