What would you do if you were God, and someone, even someone you once loved threatened your children, your pride and joy, with extinction, assassination and brutality? What if even your children had forgotten about you, thinking themselves instead capable of producing their own prosperity, blessings, protection and eventual entry into the hereafter? Would you allow this disdain, this threat, this monstrous intent to stand, doing nothing because your children maybe even deserved some of the things that were being said about their character? What would you allow to threaten them, when you had promised that no one would ever snatch them from your hand and that you would never leave them even in the darkest moment? Would you allow anyone to poke you in the eye by threatening the destruction of your beloved children, whom you alone hold the right to judge, discipline and correct?
Would you allow them to mock a nation of your beloved children, especially when they were speaking truth, asking those remaining righteous in the world for assistance with the nefarious encroaches? Would you stand up against your own rulers, governors and kings to defend their right to speak the truth and receive assistance, even when it threatened your own prosperity or sanctity? What if the opportunity stared you in the eye even as we speak, knowing fully that this is the day to which the Lord had referred where we all would get the opportunity to stand and be counted? Will we bless them or shall we be cursed? There is only one choice with two possible outcomes, for this scene does not include a wait and see or sit upon the fence option. Would you go against all to which you have dedicated your life, wealth and growth if it in fact stood against God?
We apparently have abandoned reason and our logical functions of discernment and determination. For this position is where we currently find ourselves entrenched, standing juxtaposed to the Will of God, making an adversary of those to whom He made eternal promise. What shall be done for a once blessed nation who has forgotten God’s Hand and turned her face away to worship idols of many colors, shape, size and type? What would you do if it were your decision to make, especially if you had warned them well before their misgiving? Will we now stand for a nation who appears determined on provoking God’s Wrath, a nation who now believes it is no longer collectively under God but instead under the fickle will of man’s determination? Have we entirely abandoned our faculties and faith or shall we speak when given the opportunity to address the public, beseeching a rapid and lasting return to consciousness and enlightenment? What shall any man be named who stands bye and allows wrong to occur, turning back or blind eye to wickedness, assault or enslavement? Will we repeat Adam’s mistake and allow what should never have been suggested, knowing fully the Will of God, yet standing idly in complacence? Or shall we be like David and realize that we should never raise a hand to God’s anointed even if they are in the wrong, for it is with God we shall battle, not man?
I don’t know about anyone else, but this one is where I must draw a line. Unlike our leader, I cannot acquiesce for there are some things worse then lost face. God Bless and protect the Nation of Israel, from all who seek to do her harm. I shall not curse her, because who am I to curse what God says shall always be blessed, the same thing He said to Peter about we gentiles. We live or die by God’s hand, by His everlasting Will, Grace and Spirit we shall enter rest and peace. Man may be frightening in his roaring madness and chaotic blood thirst, but I only fear God who can commit my soul to eternal damnation. The time has come, rejoice for now we shall be asked and offered the opportunity to prove our faith and allegiance to Christ. That moment when you are told to denounce or deny His name is when you shall truly know that you believed. Stand and be of Good courage, knowing that it is for the Lord God you stand and that He shall ever be your Rock, your Salvation, your strong Tower of hope and faithfulness, even to and past the end of the Earth.
