Proverbs 24:3-12:”Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

If thou faint in the day of thy adversity, thy strength is small.

IF THOU FORBEAR (abstain or refrain from) TO DELIVER THEM THAT ARE DRAWN UNTO DEATH, AND THOSE THAT ARE READY TO BE SLAIN;

IF THOU SAYEST, BEHOLD, WE KNEW IT NOT (didn’t know); DOTH NOT HE THAT PONDERETH THE HEART CONSIDER IT? AND HE THAT KEEPETH THY SOUL, DOTH NOT HE KNOW IT? AND SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS? 

Just off the cuff, please know that I am not shouting, my underline option seems to have transported itself somewhere deep into the unknown of cyberworld, and even with bold type and italic, I still really, really wanted and needed for you to dig these passages.

I remember as many of you do, the days when being an American could be something to take pride in, not false arrogant pride, but joy in knowing that our country stood for something and that something was freedom, and hope.

And while it was never, ever perfect as no earthly nation will ever be.

And with the influx of greedy, evil barbarians that flooded in shortly after the Puritans, at the inception of America, we know that many horrors also came, their horrendous treatment of the Indians, as their land was stolen, forcibly, violently taken away from them as they were marched off, many to their deaths, to be hidden away on reservations, as the powers of that day thought that in doing so they could destroy a people and a culture from existence.

That’s a subject we could deal with for multiple posts. And we will never forget the horrors and atrocities of slavery.

Quite honestly, all these sickening Pro-Hamas/ Pro-Palestinian rallies are no different.

These people are so reminiscent of the news clips of old which show the cross burnings and marches of the KKK and the belligerent, angry, hate-filled spewing’s of the white supremacists and the blood thirst and sadistic rhetoric of the segregationists.

As I said before, all through time, different era, different bodies possessed by the same old devils.

So as all nations have had their evil ones to contend with, once upon a time, American had laws and decency and passed new laws to deal with such and through it all, there were still decent, compassionate people who fought on the side of truth, many giving their own lives to make a better life for others.

Soldiers through the ages fighting for the causes of right, many wounded, often left disabled and their minds and souls forever changed, and many again, giving the ultimate sacrifice because they believed something so much greater than themselves.

Through the heartache, turmoil, and idiocy of so many, such as the protests during the Vietnam war, when so many, with the average age being nineteen years old, were sent to fight in a conflict that they had never asked for, only to return from absolute hell on earth to be met, not with a hero’s welcome, but with screams of “Baby Killer”, poison flowing from lips of those who had never fought for anything in their lives.

I have wondered through much heartache, at the unimaginable sorrow that will be felt by those hostages that have been released, having watched their families and friends be murdered, held captive by demonic beasts, when they discover that a majority of the world laughed and rejoiced in their pain and that there were thousands calling for their complete destruction.

And as we have all seen footage over the years of the concentration camps and piles of naked, Jewish bodies from the Holocaust and our government vowed “Never Again!”

We had those precious moments when Red, White, and Blue stood for something, as citizens we often did not agree with everything, but we could usually always agree that we were blessed to be citizens of a country where we could express our opinions without fear of being imprisoned or slaughtered.

We were free to pursue happiness without having to give account for our ever move. We were confident that if trouble arose, we would have friends and neighbors that would have our backs. We were free to try to bring about change for the truth and decency.

But now, as we watch our government cower as protesters scream their hatred flying their flags in our country, citizens having to fear in their own homeland. Listening to Blinken and Biden cower before the world, before Hamas and all the terrorists as they pressure Israel to lay down arms and in effect cease to be a nation and not even bother to avenge the slaughter of their people.

And it is absolute cowardice. It really drives the point home concerning how easy it will be for the anti-Christ to be given the power and allegiance of the nations. It is not taken; they pledge their allegiance to him.

It is not just America, it seems when it comes to the massacre, all nations would rather side with the enemy, in feigned hope of not having to fight them.

I was especially sickened when the rapes and slaughters were finally mentioned.

Oh, I suppose they hadn’t noticed what had been done and was being done.

Funny, I saw it on the news, on October 7th, as the whole world did, one clip in particular, a young lady being pulled from the back a vehicle, her pants soaked with blood, her face bloody, being pulled by hair to be shoved in to back of that vehicle.

OH BUT NO, they hadn’t noticed that!

Horror stories that played out in real life, things so horrifying, women being murdered during these rapes. Dismembered and carried about as some sort of sick trophy for Palestine. Videos posted to praise the evil and fuel for the sicked appetites of snuff films enthusiasts.

So disgusting that the whole world could just view what she and so many others went through. Another symptom of downfall of humanity, anything can be posted, no concern or common decency or respect for anyone or anyone’s family.

All this so reminiscent of the story of the murdered concubine from the Book of Judges, you may be unfamiliar with it, it doesn’t make sermon material very often, actually I have never heard it mentioned, even though it is definitely needed, if you like, you can read it here.

No, guess they hadn’t noticed, after all it was only a female, no matter our nationality, our age, whatever, we are indispensable right?

Who cares if we are raped, slaughtered, sold or tortured?

Well, I tell ya, I know one who really does care, and the day is coming that all the precious blood of our sisters the world over will be avenged.

We do not know the exact time, as ACTS 1:7 states: “And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.“

But we do know from Bible prophecy that these events are only in hasting of that day.

Not to even mention the treatment of children and burning babies alive and sadistic cruelty that defy any human logic, psychological cruelty to the victims and the hostages because killing is not enough for them, they want to destroy their very souls and destroys the souls of all who witness it.

And when the world saw and became aware of what had taken place, the leaders came with great lip service, while their actions spoke much different words.

As our verse stated, they have done nothing, absolutely nothing, to help them.

I couldn’t help but notice the use of the word “forebear”, bringing back to mind America abstaining from the recent UN vote and in doing nothing, they have chosen their path.

As we look back today at atrocities in our own history committed in times past with absolute disbelief, the history yet to be told will tell a most shameful and disgraceful tale.

What history that is left for America, the history that will go down in the annals of time, will not be a glowing tribute to the Red, White, and Blue.

The colors that we have so proudly waved symbolic of Valor, Purity, Perserverance, and Justice.

Values that we once pledged to attain, cherish, and protect have now taken on a strange yellow sheen; the yellowing brought about by the lack of backbone and spine in those who have been elected to lead.

That cowardice in failing to speak out and fight for those who need us most, those who are persecuted by the entire bloody world, and allowing others to come onto our soil and persecute those who have sought refuge here for generations, without any fear of prosecution, only proves to the entire world that we would not defend our own.

That yellow is going to be very, very hard to wash off.

To reiterate:

“IF THOU FORBEAR (abstain or refrain from) TO DELIVER THEM THAT ARE DRAWN UNTO DEATH, AND THOSE THAT ARE READY TO BE SLAIN;

IF THOU SAYEST, BEHOLD, WE KNEW IT NOT (didn’t know); DOTH NOT HE THAT PONDERETH THE HEART CONSIDER IT? AND HE THAT KEEPETH THY SOUL, DOTH NOT HE KNOW IT? AND SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS? 

As a nation, as a world we will be receive as we have given and considering the advice we have been handing to Israel and the dance with the devil we have performed with terrorist nations, it is safe to assume that as a nation we are in for a world of hurt.

And we will be shown the same mercy, and compassion that we have shown others of the world, and I can you tell you, when it comes to standing with Israel, it sure hasn’t been much.

As always, Blessing and Peace till next time, ever praying, “Even So, Come Lord Jesus.”
