America Wake Up!

The prophet Isaiah, writing in the 8^th century B.C. (recorded in Isaiah chapter 32, verses 1-8) spoke of a king who would be coming in the last days to:

• Open people’s eyes.
• Create understanding in the mind of the rash.
• Cause stammering, unclear tongues to speak fluently.
• Deny the power of the fool to be called noble or scoundrels to be highly respected.

Isaiah 32:1-8

¹ See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice. ² Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. ³ Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. ⁴ The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear. ⁵ No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected. ⁶ For the fool speaks folly, his mind is busy with evil: He practices ungodliness and spreads error concerning the LORD; the hungry he leaves empty and from the thirsty he withholds water. ⁷ The scoundrel's methods are wicked, he makes up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just. ⁸ But the noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands. ^NIV

Granted that this passage does not speak directly to the American political situation, but rather to the situation in ancient Israel. However, the ideas convey clearly the concepts and ideals that are transferable for the governance of any nation purporting to be Christian. Isaiah’s word speaks of a future event far in his future.

He describes fools and scoundrels and a few of their characteristics that are definitely mirrored in our nation today.

Fools:

• Practice ungodliness and spread error concerning God.
• Leave the hungry empty.
• Withhold water from the thirsty.

Scoundrels:

• Employ wicked methods.
• Make up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when their plea is just.

The Nobel King who is prophesied to come is obviously not the American President we may elect. But any person worthy of being our President should embody the characteristics of the Nobel King that Isaiah describes. No longer should we be like cattle or sheep being led to the slaughter. No longer can we simply trust those currently in power to do the right thing.

• We must be vigilant.
• We must act.
• We must hold our leaders accountable.

The coming king will:

• Make noble plans.
• Stand by noble deeds.

We are currently being led by the fools and scoundrels of whom Isaiah speaks. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Gore and their ilk have acted to flush this once God-fearing, moral nation down the drain. Don’t be naïve.

Being led by fallible human beings, yes the United States of America has made mistakes. But the collective heart of the nation is righteous despite the efforts of immoral, selfish, ignoble so-called educators to divert and shape the minds of the generations in whom they have implanted their poisonous ideology.

Obama, et al, and the educators of the NEA have spoken lies intended to deceive the ignorant, murder the innocent by empowering acts of abortion and perform other acts of evil. And they have the audacity to expect us to believe that what they propose is right. Wake up America!!

But the veil is being lifted on their schemes through events like Tea Parties and local meetings calling and holding legislators to account for their acquiesces to the evil being perpetrated against America from within. One does not have to cite the pronouncements of men like Nikita Khrushchev, Lenin, Olinsky to become aware of the insidious efforts being promulgated against this nation. And yet it is those very ideas that are underlying the efforts of our nation's leadership!

Enough is enough America! Let’s act to take back our nation from the forces of abject evil!!

• Vote to replace ineffective legislators locally and nationally.
• Deny them the continued power to rule.
• Change the law (and Constitution as necessary) to deny legislators the power to set up special rules for themselves exempting them from the rules for everyone else.

Two other exhortations from scripture pertinent to our current national leadership problem are:

Jeremiah 29:13

¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. ^NIV

2 Chronicles 7:14

¹⁴ if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. ^NIV

^{As a Christian nation (to whatever extent we really are), we need to earnestly turn to God in repentance, faith and trust.}

^{Enough said. Now, as Dr. Laura Schlessinger says, "Let's go take on the day!"}
