Have you ever lost your keys or your cell phone, just to discover that it was right in view the whole time? Maybe your glasses were on top of your head and you spent precious moments frantically searching.
Yahweh tells Ezekiel that the people of Israel (Jerusalem in specific) have been given eyes, but they did not see.
You’re Standing In The Middle Of It
The word for Ezekiel can be a word for you.
Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; - Ez. 12:2
One of the prominent characteristics of today’s leftist culture is to stare at something and say it’s not there. Like the emperor claiming that his birthday suit is an actual suit. Our leaders and media performers and copy writers are playing make believe with the laws of nature.
In a real world, when a baby is born, the common practice is to check for male or female body parts. After identifying them, the truth is proclaimed. “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl.” No one in their right mind would say, “It’s whatever it chooses to be once it has mastered language and learned what gender is and then unlearned what gender is so that it can choose a preferred set of pronouns!”
Dr. Robert Yoho asked some important questions in this powerful interview. Listen to the Podcast here >
In order to deny “maleness” (Remember Eve said, “God has given me a man.”) and “femaleness” lowers the common denominator to just plain “alive.” Women are special. Men are special. Isn’t it great? Here’s a nugget for you:
Being special makes you special. - Paul Bass
You can look at the surface, and notice a guy part, or you could choose to look at the blood and see that girls have girl chromosomes. So, to deny a girl her womanhood and hack off her breasts and penetrate her bloodstream with “male” hormones sounds like an even more vicious method of rape than previously available. The big difference is that the old style rapist is prosecutable and the new one gets rich in addition to whatever form of satisfaction he seems to achieve.
Dr. Yoho says this in the above referenced interview:
“What’s the motivation for this? …Confusing children doesn’t seem like a real good plan for a stable society.”
Even If They Won’t Listen, We Still Need To Speak Out
Let’s imagine Ezekiel as a master performance artist. His drama was given to him by the Holy Spirit. He was instructed to physically pack his bags for good, dig under the city wall (which is usually something one does when he is trying to invade a city) and walk away, carrying his possessions.
Imagine a bug out bag that is your only bag. Imagine saying “Bye Bye Miss American Pie” to the whole pie.
Is America Too Big To Fail
Nope.
Some would say it has failed. Others will say it is in D- zone and she better get her act together before the semester is done.
If we had eyes that worked like eyes, we can see that castration does not make a lady.
If we had ears to hear, we would notice the warnings of the entire history of mankind, that we are beyond tiptoeing into our own termination.
When I look at the dry and empty shelves at the store and the news that my car will be replaced by a government subsidized electric “Yugo,” I am simply re-watching the pictures of Communist Cuba and Soviet bread lines. As we face the condemnation of our own lack of knowledge toward history, it appears that many people are just fine with sheep lining up for slaughter.
Act III - WWIII
Most people would cringe at the idea of entering another World War II. Yet, many people have no idea that we are at war. Prove me wrong. Who owns this country? Who owns the people?
The war in the physical realm is right before us, yet a whole bunch of my friends and family are pretty clueless.
The good news is,
many are waking up.
The bad news is,
this may mean we find new friends and spiritual family.
Here’s my point about war: That is exactly what war is like. It is exactly what the Scripture said it would be like. Brother against brother.
If we do not repent, we will repeat the oldest mistake in the book.
Simply put - we will bear the burden of our iniquity into captivity. Do I think we will all be spread around the nations as the prophecy was given to Israel? Yes, and no. Not all Israelites were exiled in this past fulfillment. Some remained, but it was not good.
They will eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein. - Ez. 12:19
I believe that we may be in those times that were “far off” to the prophet. Christmas comes around each year, and the stores start selling decorations in October… yet, we often hear friends say, “I’m not ready. I can’t believe it’s here already.”
That Day Just Might Be Today, Or At Least, Tomorrow.
There will be a “DAY” my friend; a day when God’s words will not be prolonged (delayed) and what He has spoken will be done.
America, Repent!
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices.
By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted,
but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.Prov. 11:10a & 11
Let Jesus empower you to fight (and win) the spiritual war so that the physical victory will be given to us as well.
Be blessed, and keep smiling.
Do you have a son or daughter going to college? A friend of ours wrote an incredible book that I wish I had when I went to school.
It helps the student more effectively navigate the student/professor relationship in order to gain more from the course. I happened to have the honor of contributing cartoon art for this excellent resource. So, buy for the content, and get a smile from the quirky drawings.
