Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 23:18-27
A friend of mine recently said, “Politics is completely corrupt and will not save us” and I would agree and add that it would not have been possible for the political morass to reach such depths of depravity unless first the religious leaders of the land polluted the very Word of God and the people loved to have it so (Isaiah 5:31). The prophet Jeremiah leveled stinging reproofs at his contemporaries and aptly applies to the modern pulpit as well, which will not save us. It’s a serious thing to mess with the inspired word of God, as the Word itself warns, “Is not My word like as a fire? Saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal My words every one from his neighbor” Jer. 23:29-30. God inspired Jeremiah to write to His people because, “They have forsaken My law… and have not obeyed My voice…But have walked after the imagination of their own hearts… I will scatter them among the heathen… I will send a sword after them” Jer. 9:13-16. Should we think that history will not repeat itself? Today, the heathen are scattered among us and their weapons are directed at Whitey.
‘Answers in Genesis’ and its master debater and carni rat entrepreneur Ken Ham, have forsaken the Law of God and prophesy a Noah’s Ark theme park right here in northern Kentucky. If we are to believe Jeremiah, these local Hamites will build a multi-million dollar extravaganza to the carnival glory of evolutionary mongrelization, which you will never find in the Bible; and they will wallow in the pig sty of multicultural diversity with a knife in their throat. They are not Creationists, they are destructionists of the worst sort who steal God’s words for their own self aggrandizement. Christian Identity has a book that they must not have read, that clearly reveals serious consequences will befall those who forsake the Laws of God and promote their own evolutionary theories of race and race mixing contrary to the Word, given by inspiration of God.
Conversely, beautiful blessings come to those who prove and believe that the Bible is God’s inspired word and obey it. King David wrote: "Blessed are [they]… Who walk in the law of the Lord… Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies… Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path… Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble… All Your commandments are truth… The entirety of Your word is truth" Psalms 119:98, 105, 151, 160, 165. “I have made all these things; that is why all these things have come into being, declares the Lord; but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at My word” Isaiah 66:2. When you weigh things in the balance between the inspired word of God and its armchair theologians, you are left with a clear choice, if you are intellectually honest with yourself.
