Even the earth is growing ever more restless, saith the Lord. A deep
rumbling within the bowels of the earth and the spewing forth of
fiery filth from volcanic craters signifies that even the earth can
bear no more of the pressures of wickedness upon it.
Even as the earth vomits out molten rock and lava, so the day is
swiftly approaching when the earth shall vomit out the wicked
(Leviticus 18:25). For even nature herself cannot much longer bear
the presence of wicked, evil men and women who fornicate, steal,
cheat, deal deceitfully, break treaties, abuse others and blaspheme
the Name of the Lord. The earth is groaning under the weary trial
of those who rip it open to plunder its resources without a single
care for replenishing what is exploited for gain. The rain forests do
groan and sigh, as they are chopped down to make way for the
production of rangeland producing cheap hamburger meat, so men
may profit thereby. The native peoples of the Amazon look on in
dismay as THEIR habitation appointed for them by the LORD is
destroyed and they are driven into the diminishing fringes of
whatever is left to rebuild new homes.
Do I value primitive societies any less than I value white men who
are highly skilled in futuristic technology? A thousand times, NO!
The way of life practiced by native populations in Australia and
South America is no cause for Me devaluing them and withholding
from them the chance to be saved from hell like everyone else. The
fact that Bushman doesn’t use electricity and wears minimum
clothing doesn’t make him any less precious in My sight.
But teens and pre-teens threatening other kids and hounding them
even to their graves are in serious trouble with me. They have the
spirit of murder at work in their lives, and NO murderer has eternal
life dwelling in him/her, regardless of their youth (I John 3:15). In
this verse John makes NO exception for kids under 21, 18 or
whatever age. Those who bully others to death are guilty of first-
degree murder in My sight, though a secular judge might let them
off lightly. A devil’s hell awaits all unrepentant men, women, boys
and girls who oppress and torture their innocent neighbors. And no,
I don’t forgive and forget just because twenty or thirty years have
passed since the transgressions of their youth. I don’t even forgive
just because a person becomes a highly respectable figure in their
community, who seems to be bringing up an exemplary family of
their own. Time does NOT cleanse away sins. Neither does the
respect of a community or “turning over a new leaf” or “becoming
successful.” Only repentance toward Me and faith in My dear
spotless Son Who died for repentant sinners will ever serve to atone
for the transgressions of a person’s youth.
Today even the tiniest children cuss out their parents, swear at
them and hit them. Parents weep helplessly as their naughty brat
throws things around and wrecks the house. It takes more than a
“naughty step” to straighten out those troubled children. It takes
plenty of prayer and firm discipline to correct such kids. Whatever
will you do when your child is almost as tall as yourself and refuses
to be dragged to the naughty seat anymore? If you don’t teach
him/her to respect your authority now, they’ll only spit on you later
as being ineffectual and mealy-mouthed.
