Taking Back This Nation For God!

Part 15:
“Why All The Lawlessness?”

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell,
and all the nations that forget God”
Psalm 9:17
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Many people are dismayed, upset, and perplexed, all because it seems as if destructive forces are breaking down and tearing apart the very backbone and fabric of this society.
.
Even our school systems are becoming lawless by their very wicked policy of grooming small children, encouraging them to embrace sexual perversion.
.
Our government is rapidly bringing itself into financial ruin because of excess spending and endless borrowing.
.
And much of the populace no longer cares for the rule of law, but some are even beginning to engage in mob rule, and occasionally even mob violence!
.
Many judges no longer rule impartially, but according to politics and political correctness.

“but I will recompense thy ways upon thee”
Ezekiel 7:4
.
So what is the problem? Why do things seem to be breaking down?
.
What most people have forgotten, or are unaware of is, that it is God who rules over the affairs of Mankind. And He is the divine Judge. And He will render unto Mankind the just recompense of our ways!

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man”
1st Peter 2:13
.
For example, even among the reputed, “upright” citizens of this society, there has been an erosion of morality.
.
To a large extent, the general populace no longer obeys many of the required ordinances of man.
.
Many seemingly upright citizens will cheat on their income taxes.
.
Many will begin a project around the house which requires obtaining a building permit of some kind, and ignore those requirements because of cost and inconvenience.
.
Many will ignore the laws and speed limits on the streets and highways.

“
There is no fear of God before their eyes. ”
Romans 3:18
.
Well, there are many areas of life in which we have broken the laws.
.
And why has this happened?
.
Simple! The fear of God is no longer restraining most people. Yes, there is a lack of healthy fear in these atheistic societies for this world’s Divine Lawgiver!

“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much”
Luke 10:16
.
And so, God looks down on this lawlessness and eventually decides, “to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.“. Jeremiah 17:10
.
God is removing the restraints from Mankind. And that decadent society opens its floodgates to corruption and lawlessness.
.
And that is what we are now seeing in this society!

“Justice stands afar off!”
.
Listen to this fearful prophecy…“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14
.
Here is the awful judgment which is now falling upon this decadent society! Lawlessness!

“What shall we do then?”
.
So what can we do about all this?
.
Is it too late?
.
No, it is not too late.
.
That is, it’s not too late for any individual who desires to escape the wrath to come (and is already coming!)

“Be afflicted and mourn and weep!”
.
What must be done is, for any man, woman, or child, who desires to escape the awful judgments of God, to turn away from our own individual lawlessness, and pray for God’s chastening Hand 
to purify us from our iniquity! This is our only hope!
.
Listen…“Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God…
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:
let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and He shall lift you up.”
James 4:4, 8-10
.
Here is the prescribed remedy for our backsliding ways!
.
And this is not just some 24 hour work! No this is a prescription for a lifetime! And it will be our joy to enter into this type of relationship with our Lord. Yes, repentance is a joyful work, even though it may be mingled with many tears, even as it is written by Paul in 2nd Corinthians 6:10…“As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing…”

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining…
.
“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…
.
“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…
.
.
Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a pyramid.
.
Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
.
These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).
.
.
.
.
.
THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.
.
They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours. These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (Broad Way to Hell). The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy.
.
The above Wikipedia star-chart shows this amazing constellation group as it appears from June to fall, just prior to the winter constellation group. Actually, these Valley of Decision Constellations appear in early summer in the pre-dawn hours. (Editor of this website has sketched in this constellation group onto this above Wikipedia star-chart.)
