“Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.” (Isaiah 59:14-15)
The walls are coming down! Societal walls erected to govern and protect the sanity and sanctity of a culture. Some of these were put in place thousands of years ago; walls based on eternal truths originated in the Mind of God. Social evil becomes social policy. Roles are redefined. Borders are opened. Mental disorder becomes the favored order – the new order. The shape of the envelope is pushed beyond recognition. America is no longer the America of my youth. The West is invaded and compromised by Eastern values. The Judeo Christian foundations are crumbling at the onslaught Islamic and New Age thought. The ship is drifting without an anchor. The walls are crumbling.
Science envisions a time beyond death – of life without end – at least in some cyber form. Genetic manipulation plots the creation of humans that are no longer human; weird combinations of mankind fused with the traits of animals and even plants. Embryos are grown in labs – the proving grounds for future farms that will provide the replacement parts needed to maintain the remnants of the human species deemed worthy enough to survive. Once the stuff of unimaginable science fiction, it is no longer so far-fetched. Even now, NPR is reporting that scientists are working at creating genetic chimeras – or human-animal hybrids in their laboratories. These part human part animal embryos are being created to provide “better animal models to study how human diseases happen and how they progress. Perhaps the boldest hope is to create farm animals that have human organs that could be transplanted into terminally ill patients.” So one of the first forays is combining the genetic make-up of humans and pigs. [They are in search of a growing platform for replacement pancreases.] The creators of Seinfeld were perhaps right. The Pig-Man liveth! [i]
Currently Planned Parenthood sells off baby parts for ‘research’ – the by-products of their cherished abortion industry. Former Satanists identify this practice of abortion as a nod to the faux deities of old; the rituals meant to satisfy the demands of the demon gods of Molech and Baal and the like. It was the bloody worship of those devil-idols in which the Jews joined their Gentile neighbors in burning alive their own children in the sacrificial fires – that led astray the ancient Israelites and brought on them wrath of the Creator God who scattered them and exiled them to Assyria and Babylon. We are much more civilized now. We moderns use forceps and vacuums to suck the brains out of our unwanted progeny. These are attacks on our very humanity. But is does not end there.
We live in a time when chaos is the goal. Increasingly people have become mere instruments in the hands of the spiritual entities to which they have surrendered. Our struggle on earth is a mere reflection of the war going on in the heavenly realm. The Apostle Paul tells us: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) It is in that realm where chaos is the supreme tool and goal. Achieve that state of chaos and you will achieve revolution. Achieve that and you will offer the perfect excuse to bring in martial law and the New Order. It waits in the wings. It is being prepared.
To that end the races are pitted against each other. Class envy is encouraged. The Judeo-Christian ethic is targeted for its backwardness. And as part of that attack, Target is allowing perverts in their restrooms. And from on-high comes the decree of the Obama administration that school restrooms must be open to any and all upon the whim of the beholder. We are informed that ‘neutral’ restrooms will not do for the ‘confused.’ And so the defilement of the institute of marriage – the same-sex marriage clause – has become old news. It is already a part of the new order. The walls are coming down. Or rather we are tearing them down; disassembling them ourselves – these barriers that protect us from our own worst – part of ourselves. Consider transgenderism. [There’s a sentence I believed….and hoped I’d never have to write in the ancient recesses of my misspent youth!]
Transgenderism: The Lie That Destroys
Though President Obama and his team of legal eagles seems bent on imposing this warped vision on America the notion of transgenderism is not a normal state of being. While the ‘confused’ deserve our compassion and our prayers, the word transgender denotes a behavior and set of subjective beliefs that should not be promoted. I’m writing this not in my ‘bigotry’ and ‘homophobia’ – (a generally meaningless word) – but leaning on the stated wisdom of the medical and psychiatric community. Let me give some examples.
First there is the opinion of Dr Paul McHugh, the former Chief of Psychiatry at John Hopkins University who currently serves as a professor there. McHugh calls transgenderism a “mental disorder,” – to be specific the “disorder of assumption.” That is – as CNS News puts it: “the notion that their maleness or femaleness is different than what nature assigned to them biologically.” Dr McHugh holds that “sex change is ‘biologically impossible,’ and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.” He “further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.”[ii] Oh, but that’s probably just some kook doctor expressing his own sick biases. No, not so much!
Weighing in on the side of sanity is the American College of Pediatricians. “Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait. The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality.” The good doctors leave little room for debate on the matter…..despite the politically correct prating of the Obama administration. The President’s edict does NOT change the objective facts on the ground. In fact such policies only sow confusion in the still-developing minds. Look at the last paragraph. A full 70% to 80% lose that confusion and come to grips with reality “spontaneously” – on their own. Reinforcing that confusion lessens the likelihood that they will come to a clear understanding of reality. There is no ‘Third Sex’. There is no ‘biological subjectivism’. As the ACP sees it: “A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such. These children suffer from gender dysphoria.”[iii]
The ACP goes on to paint such policies as child abuse. And they lay the blame squarely on practitioners who promote such measures. “Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse. Endorsing gender discordance as normal via public education and legal policies will confuse children and parents, leading more children to present to ‘gender clinics’ where they will be given puberty-blocking drugs. This, in turn, virtually ensures that they will ‘choose’ a lifetime of carcinogenic and otherwise toxic cross-sex hormones, and likely consider unnecessary surgical mutilation of their healthy body parts as young adults.”
They conclude with this damning conclusion in their closing statement. “Our opponents advocate a new scientifically baseless standard of care for children with a psychological condition (GD) that would otherwise resolve after puberty for the vast majority of patients concerned…. Never has it been more scientifically clear that children and adolescents are incapable of making informed decisions regarding permanent, irreversible and life-altering medical interventions. For this reason, the College maintains it is abusive to promote this ideology, first and foremost for the well-being of the gender dysphoric children themselves, and secondly, for all of their non-gender-discordant peers, many of whom will subsequently question their own gender identity, and face violations of their right to bodily privacy and safety.”[iv] Christ Himself weighed in on the harming of children: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)
But all the fancy psychiatric and medical arguments aside, it really comes down to this. Just ask yourself: ‘Do I want my 15 year old daughter to shower next to a teenage boy? Or use a public restroom with a 40 year old man?’ At its root this is a safety issue, a privacy issue and a respect issue. The respect must not just go one way. But this social engineering is decreed from above. Where they will not fall on their own: The walls will be torn down. Remember in all of this: It is not about the issue. It’s about creating the chaos that will create the revolution that will demand the countermeasure (martial law) that will be the tool that will usher in the New Order.
Our Sin is on Ourselves
A nation cannot systematically ignore the Law of God and expect to continue in prosperity. The lesson is seen repeatedly in the First Testament. Israel had been divided into two parts. The ten northern tribes comprised Israel or Samaria – and – in the south, Judah & Benjamin. The story is repeated ad nauseum. Bad Kings would take the thrones, lead the people into sin – and then God would pronounce judgment. The nation would repent, God would relent and restore….and then the people led by some evil king would repeat the process. God would appoint a nation to punish Israel – or Judah – and then punish the punishers for their egregious sins. God will not let unrighteousness stand. And here in America – and the West – we have come to embrace unrighteousness. We have even elevated sin to a virtue to be honored and pursued. [Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner is given the Arthur Ashe Award for courage and celebrated for his confusion.] If we do no repent we will face the judgement. There is a principle in scripture that applies to individuals and nations alike. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
America has turned from its covenantal beginnings. At Jamestown, at Plymouth, at Washington’s first inauguration, America dedicated herself to the Christian God. And we walked in that way, – though quite imperfectly – for much of our existence. But we’ve not banished the God of the Bible from the public square. He is no longer to be consulted. Our courts have been tearing down our walls; undermining our foundations. They’ve erected others. They’ve put a wall between Church and State where there was none. The First Amendment was originally intended to protect the Church from the interference of government. Beginning in the late 1940’s it has been flipped on its head,[v] increasingly forbidding the faith and morals of the people from influencing government. We’ve banned prayer from schools and required school boards and local councils to give equal honor to Islamists, Hindus, Wiccans and outright Satanists. [vi]We’ve ‘Choice’ – that license to murder the unborn – a holy sacrament of our post-modern era. We’ve embraced the gods of the East and the gods of Nature and the god of no-god-at-all. We’ve raised paganism to the status of the True Creator. In short we’ve chased out the God of the Bible and embraced other gods. And through it all we can’t understand why we do not prosper. It is just as the prophets wrote of ancient Israel. “‘Has a nation changed its gods, Which are not gods? But My people have changed their Glory For what does not profit. Be astonished, O heavens, at this, And be horribly afraid; Be very desolate,’ says the Lord. ‘For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.’” (Jeremiah 2:11-13) It was through Isaiah that God pronounced a judgment on Israel for its unfaithfulness. “Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, So will I choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because, when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight.” (Isaiah 66:3-4) Yet through it all hope remains. We are called to repent. We are called to return. And there is His promise from 2Chronicles 7. When we do the God of Mercy will heal our land!
