Divine Rules
When
Adam sinned against God, the human spirit died, but Adam continued to have
children. Adam was 130 when Seth was born and lived 800 years after his birth.
Adam died at age 930. You must put flesh and blood on the ancients to appreciate
God's master plan for the world: Enos, Mahalaleel, Cainan, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah
(who lived to be the oldest, 950), Lamech, Noah. By this time we have reached
about 5,000 years of earth's history. "And GOD saw that the wickedness of
man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of
his heart [was] only evil continually" (Genesis
6:5). God instructed Noah to build an arc, a feat of 120 years, using
blueprint given by God, "ratios" still used in ship building to this
day (Genesis 6:15). God made arrangements for Noah's family and animals he
chose to save to enter the arc and after the great flood, animal life on earth
started over again. One professor, liberal at Eastern University asked one in
his class to name an Old Testament figure of history...he named "Reverend
Bill Graham."
The
dying spirit passed on from Adam when he believed the serpent instead of God,
continues through the line of human kind...we all die, at the same rate of
speed, sometime, each year nearer death, everyday. The mortality rate is still
100%. Mankind still has trouble, knowing full well the record following the
divine rules. Satan is on the job, knows more scripture than you do and while
you are sleeping, setting traps-snares for you.
One of the
world's greatest writers, C.S Lewis said, "To the believer, there will
always be a battle with despondency, discouragement, despair." We all get
the idea that Satan is winning, but the war has already been won, there are
just battles to be fought. We join Joshua in claiming victory. "And if it
seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve;
whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the
flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and
my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua
24:15). Just as Deborah with the stars (Judges
5:20), Joshua commanded the sun to stand still...one man plus God and
anything can happen. Gideon started out with 30,000 then 1,300 (his military
advisor, God, set his troop strength at 300 and they won the battle): one man
plus God. God's word, the manufacturers handbook, inerrant, omnificent, forever
truth on either side of the cross. The joy of studying men such as Moses,
raised until the age of 40 in Pharaoh's household. But, God had a special plan
for his life. "Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of
God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season" (Hebrews 11:25). Most men,
even today's GQ-Esquire types, must be hit in the head for understanding. Moses
saw The Nile turning to blood, frogs, flies, locusts, were a bother to Pharaoh,
but it was the death of his son that made the difference. And so it has been
throughout history to this very day, the cross, pivotal center of history, both
horizontal and vertical. Just as God was grieved by sin before the flood, Jesus
(eternal God) grieved, looking over Jerusalem
(Luke 19:41). So American's could
easily weep over their nation, borrowing $57 thousand dollars every second, 47
million people on food stamps, 100 million or 1/3 of the population of the
nation on entitlements, the world bank having stolen 95% of the world's wealth.
This writer is tortured by the thoughts of his hardworking, parents,
grandparents, ancestors in a day when the health care professions lament the
detoxification of the human body because of synthetics and lack of motility, these
folks never had that worry because they worked so hard that they would sweat
out every toxisicity (they knew little about antiperspirants).
More
sickening than the wasteful spending of the taxes paid by God fearing
producers, satanic agendas, frightening, the agenda of Planned Parenthood...52%
of all black babies aborted. Since 1973, supreme court abortion decision, 53
million babies killed, citizens who today would be paying FACA taxes to support
a defund social security-Medicare system.
The
homosexual agenda, defiant-disgusting to everything sacred, no wonder that the
Democrats laughed and cheered, removing God and Jerusalem from their political platform when
you consider same sex marriage, don't ask, don't tell, etc.
Agenda 21,
a United Nations scurge on governments to raise money (international flights,
tax on bank accounts) to impose environmental climate controls.
"We wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]" (Eph 6:12). Satan's demon forces of darkness are in battle
against us. The tragedy, most people even those on church pews, do not know we
are at war. Our only hope, divine rule, putting on the whole armor of God (Eph 6:13) and not to retreat one inch. We
will have no more success than did Adam and Eve with that old serpent unless,
"Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4).
The petty
little wars of the Islamic terrorist, North Africa, Middle
East..as expensive in blood and treasure as they are, are nothing
compared to the next great battle which will be on American soil. Blessed with
the technology of high-lazy living, cursed with the technology of warfare
(nuclear power, drones), we look at the book of Deuteronomy, 28th chapter to find
God's blessings and cursing concerning Jewish life. Of the 68 verses in the
28th chapter, only 14 pertain to blessings. Take a good look at your country
via news media, your own senses. Do you think a nation so blessed will escape,
drowning in entertainment, all schools more involved in indoctrination than in
education (many parents who love their
children, home school them) coercion of the temporal with the secular, a "once"
Christian nation, now, "playing church"? God is
not blind, deaf, does not require much sleep. He knows what is going on
