A 3-Finger Judgment-Day,
.
Part 9:
“Will The Real Nazi/Fascist/Racist/Etc., Please Shout the Loudest!?”

“Therefore thou art inexcusable,
O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:
for wherein thou judgest another,
thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest
doest the same things.”
Romans 2:1
.
.
.
.
.
There’s a whole lot of finger-pointing going on these days, wouldn’t you agree? In this very unhappy world, the creation of the Internet and social media has opened up the ability to engage in mob-like character assassination. Millions of Internet users can now gleefully enjoy the destruction of the lives of others while maintaining their own anonymity.
.
In answer to the question, “Why is this society crumbling?”, the Bible comes back to clearly reveal…“If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” Mark 3:24
.
And so, as we look out upon the political landscape, we see a nation deeply divided!
.
And the division between the two political factions is rapidly growing deeper, wider, and very hostile and extremely bitter. The anger and animus between the two opposing sides is intensifying on a daily basis!
.
It’s even getting a bit scary to hear the violent rhetoric now being thrust at one another! It seems to be approaching insane violence at times!

THE USUAL HATE-FILLED NAME-CALLING
.
Now, some of the current name-calling sounds like this: “They’re a bunch of Nazi Fascists!” “He’s are racist!” “He’s a modern day Hitler!” “They’re a bunch of ‘such-&-such-Phobes’!”
.
For those who watch the daily news shows, these smears are commonly heard, and oft repeated!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
A LIE REPEATED OFTEN
.
Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Adolph Hitler said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”
.
And isn’t it true that this demonizing of political enemies by branding them as “Nazis”, “Fascists”, and/or “racists” is very effective?
.
And using the major media as willing accomplices, the public now hears these derogatory names being repeatedly chanted on a 24/7/365 basis to the point that these false accusations against their political adversaries eventually begin to take root in the minds of the masses.
.
Yes, these modern-day ideology-warriors in both politics, and also in the media, instinctively know that George Goebbels was right in his assertion that “a lie repeated often enough, it becomes truth”.
.
So then, could it be said, that the very ones currently following the same philosophical views of that notorious Nazi leader, Joseph Goebbels, are actually the true Nazi’s? And the true Fascists? And the true Racists? And the true ‘such-&-such-Phobes’?
.
.
.
.
.
.
I AM GUILTY OF THE SAME!
.
Well, today’s devotional is still attempting to further bring out this concept that at whatever point we judge another, we are guilty of the same.
.
Listen again…“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.” Romans 2:1
.
Yes, the Bible forewarns us that when we point the accusing finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing back at us: THREE FINGERS FROM HEAVEN!

NAME-CALLING ONLY REVEALS WHAT’S IN MY OWN HEART!
.
What these erring individuals do not realize is that when we accuse our opponents of being fascists or racists or bigots or phobics of one stripe or another, we are unknowingly revealing what’s in our own heart!
.
And if we who defame others were ever given political authority, we would most likely carry out the same Nazi-like fascism, racism, or bigotry that we are accusing our political opponents of possessing?
.
As a matter of fact, certain political factions who daily accuse their political foes of being “fascists” are they themselves now beginning to call for suppression of free speech, sometimes even to the point of physical violence. In other words, are not the finger-pointers at others actually, they themselves, behaving just like totalitarian fascists of the past had always behaved? It’s a good question to ask ourselves.
.
The Bible clearly teaches…“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
.
As this above verse reveals, humans just do not know how much wickedness is bound up in our own heart! And it’s truly an amazing phenomenon to hear the very ones who most loudly engage in name-calling of others, by their own verbal attacks, actually describe their own selves! Are they so self-deceived to not realize their own hypocrisy?

SATAN STEALS OUR PERFECT PEACE
.
One great problem with listening to Satan’s whisperings, is that this is how this “Accuser of the Brethren” gains access into our hearts and minds. And once we allow him access, he often begins to torment us with all sorts of “evil surmisings” about the motives of the hearts of others. (1st Timothy 6:4)
.
We must remember the Wise Man’s advice…
“Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
Put away from thee a froward mouth,
and perverse lips put far from thee.
Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
Ponder the path of thy feet,
and let all thy ways be established.
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
remove thy foot from evil.”
Proverbs 4:24-27
.
Yes, to guard the avenues to the soul, not allowing Satan any access, is our first and foremost duty!
.
.
.
.
.
.
SYSTEMIC RACISM?
.
There is a movement afoot by one political group to brand their political opponents as having “systemic racism”. In other words, the accusation is being shouted abroad that this entire group of humans cannot help themselves overcome their own racism, because their own “systemic racism” is just an innate inward quality which they cannot overcome. It’s just “who you are”, claim their accusers.
.
The fact is, anyone who thinks they can judge what’s in the heart of another individual, is merely showing the world what’s in his or her own heart, as the Bible declares…“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.” Romans 2:1
.
Yes, God knows our filthy hearts. And only He can rightly judge what’s in another person’s heart.
.
And God sees our hypocrisy as we judge others for things which we are just as guilty of, as is the next person!
.
And the day has now arrived when, “…God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ…” Romans 2:16
.
.
.
.
.
.
AMERICANS HATE RACISM
.
It’s really ironic that in a very historically racist world, America has perhaps done more than any other nation to vanquish racism, thanks in part to its constitution! And just when that nation has finally achieved a high level of racial equality, a large group of people want to tear this society completely apart, accusing Americans of being hopelessly racist.
.
But the stark reality is, to their credit, most every American abhors being thought of as “a racist”. And so, if Americans were truly racists, then why do they absolutely hate being called “racist”?
.
Well, truth-be-told, deep-down, those finger-pointers actually realize this truth. Yes, they secretly understand that it’s a terrible and hurtful accusation to make against another human, which only shows the hypocrisy of their false charges.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
Matthew 24:12
.
Well, time will tell just where all this venomous hatred between the right and left will end up.
.
Certainly, our society is being torn apart by certain political factions…“And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” Mark 3:24
.
The only hope for any of us, is to turn to the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength!
.
Otherwise, we too may get swallowed up by all the insane hatred we are now witnessing in our society on a daily basis!

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”
Ephesians 6:12
.
As this above verse from Ephesians reveals, it is not humans who are at the root of all this hatred and neo-racism. But rather, it is the unseen spiritual powers of the darkness of this world who are stoking the flames of all this division and hatred. Oh yes, the unsaved people of this world are unwittingly being used and manipulated by these dark forces of evil. But behind it all is the true hater-in-chief…Satan and his fallen angels!

And truth-be-told, all this pandemic anger is a fulfillment of the following prophecy concerning these end-times…
.
“And the nations were angry,
and Thy wrath is come,
and the time of the dead,
that they should be judged”
Revelation 11:18
.
Yes, this above prophecy informs us that Judgment Day has already begun!
.
And so, right now, it would be a critically wise decision for those who are immersed in their hate-filled anger, to turn to the Lord with all their heart, and to plead for true repentance, before it’s too late!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”
.
Please tilt your head to the left. Do you see a man with a very long pointed nose. (Obviously, the sketch to the right is just an exaggeration in order to help you find the face in the photo to the left.)
.
Do you see an angry look? His right eye-brow is raised as if he is judging.
.
This second face in the Moon appears to be that of a combination of a man as well as a fox. Or maybe a wolf. Doesn’t he have a long narrow nose like a wolf or fox? Maybe even a dog. Nevertheless, the expression on his face, as he appears to look down upon the Earth, is that of scorn.
.
Unlike the first Moon-man’s sad look of shock and awe (click here to see and read about); this ‘man/fox/wolf/dog’ appears to be that of anger and scorn. As if he is disgusted at the sinful planet below. He is very moral, you see.
.
.
.
.
.
THE PHARISEES…
.
“Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.” Prov. 21:24
.
Yes this wolf-like beast-face in the Moon, is what the Bible calls a proud Pharisee. They were the morality crowd. They were the finger pointers. They were the scorners. They didn’t realize that their own pride was even more reprehensible to God than the drunkenness, immorality, or sexual perversions of the unsaved of the world.
