"For son dishonors father, daughter rises against her mother, daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own household." Micah 7:6
We seem to live in a world filled with spiritual darkness which manifests in a general psychosis and wide spread mental illness. People behaving in bizarre ways and saying bizarre things. We look at the world sometimes and wonder if anyone can even be saved. This time was revealed a long time ago by the Hebrew prophet Isaiah.
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight." Isaiah 5: 20-21
How many of you have children who hate you and who have cut you off because of who you voted for in an election? How many of you have children and close friends cut you off on social media because you challenged some insane thing that they posted? Welcome to the club.
This pandemic has shown me some things about society in general and our unsaved or backslidden children in particular. First, that when it comes time for the mark of the beast people will eagerly and willingly sign up for the mark that condemns them to eternal separation and possibly turns them into non-humans. Also, as the Bible clearly says, it's not bad parenting or less then perfect family life but rather rejection of Christ and truth that make our children behave in unsound and psychotic fashion.
Carl Jung said that when society rejects the Christian faith they are left to deal with the complexities and insurmountable problems of life without the support or the wisdom of faith to give them shelter and comfort. I told my son that if you turn your back on Jesus you will spend the rest of your life wandering and unsettled and prey to anything and everything. That is exactly what is happening to him today.
Finally, I have read the last chapter and in the end God triumphs over all and makes everything brand new again.
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the Earth with a curse." Malachai 4:5-6
