Why do the heathen rage?

Why do the heathen rage?

 

We review consistently that, it is written. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.”

We have the mind of Christ, and with that, if you look closely, all around you one can witness large scale contention between good and evil displayed. Today, as we have not witnessed in my lifetime until now, evil and its vessels have become exceedingly bold, aggressive, confrontational and demanding of recognition.

As more people claim good to be evil and evil to be good, activities that were once practiced exclusively in secret are now openly displayed and increasing levels of disgustingly vile behaviors and practices are being incrementally revealed. Not only are they being revealed but those who are the practitioners of evil on all levels are demanding your recognition. They have grown so arrogant, bold and aggressive that they not only demand your recognition but are beginning to demand your alignment and participation under penalty for noncompliance.

I remember years ago warning that the liberal minds were working to create an army and were doing so with the assistance of the church. Today we see the content of those conversations coming to fruition in a manner that is now undeniable. In today’s America we are actually witnessing the rise of that army, attack dogs stirred up by their evil leadership, burning down businesses, looting, raping, rioting, doxing, threatening and shaming purveyors of decency. We have even witnessed assassination attempts and assassinations of people whose only crime was to speak light to darkness. Even in the face of being undeniably responsible the commanders of this wicked army, show no concern nor regard for retribution and accountability. It is because of the lack of accountability fields were able to be furrowed, seeds planted and evil is able to water a conjuring, a harvest of darkness and tares that are able to put forth a formidable front against the laws, principles and values of the most, free nation ever created.

This has not been an overnight battle nor a sudden transition. This contention between good and evil is ancient. America has been under attack by powers, principalities, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.

America has been under intensive attack ever since our founders penned this statement and declared it to be the nation’s foundational principle.

 

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

 

The demonic realm demands and desires control and subjugation over all mankind. America represents liberty to the entire world like no other nation before it. The law of God is referred to as the perfect law of liberty. The bible teaches that God’s laws are not grievous and following His law keeps us liberated from the dominion of the unholy, yet God and America are always under attack because, it is written, “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Where His spirit inhabits the devilish cannot.

David cries out to God pleading, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

David knew that disobedience and a lack of repentance would cause a separation from God and His spirit. Our father will leave the rebellious who refuse to repent to a reprobate mind. As we have seen biblically God will bring destruction to a nation that turns from Him and He will turn that nation over to the heathen, to a people who do not know His name. Satan longs for America to grow in disbelief and disobedience to God. The devils desire the destruction of America and all that it stands for. This is because America is a light upon a hill and its foundational beliefs stand in the way of the domination of darkness.

 Why do the heathens rage? Why are they raging in America since its creation and why is their rage heightened today?

They rage at America because they know America is a prize they will never be able to claim. Try as they might, they cannot emerge victorious. They rage because the separation from God vexes their spirit. They rage because they hate the truth of salvation, the message of the savior and the sacrifices of worldly things they must make in order to abide in obedience to His message. They rage in America because of its founding declaration and that declaration’s connection to our almighty Father in heaven and pledge to follow Him and His principles. The rage is heightened today simply because the spiritual atrophy of God’s children, errant teachings and the downward trend of the church has allowed it.

Why do the heathen rage? I believe the core reason is the separation from God and the knowledge that unless repentance is made wicked ways are turned from and kingdom principles are adopted the heathen will forever be in agony from rejecting the source of all goodness, joy, and love. 

You who are a follower of Jesus and a doer of the word will suffer the wrath of the heathen from time to time while the heathen suffers under the weight of the knowing that, “The wages of sin are death.” Remember Jesus promises His followers, “In this world you will have trouble but take heart for I have overcome the world.” Paul tells us in,

2Thessilonians 1:6-9

6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

And as Isiah writes in,

Isaiah 59:1-4

1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

 

Psalm 46:1-11

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalm 2:1-12

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Psalm 27:1-5

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Recently we have reviewed, studied and concluded that truly, Old Testament scripture reveals Yeshuah Jesus prophetically and that when He said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” He meant that He was fulfilling all the prophetic words spoken about Him and those that described Him. Jesus did not come to destroy the word; He is the word.

It is written,” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

In,

John 5:46-47 Jesus said,

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

We know that scripture teaches us that the house of God is founded upon the Prophets and Apostles with Jesus being the chief corner stone and that house, the gates of hell shall not prevail against. Ever since I dedicated my life to God, I have been striving to be one who believes these principles whole heartedly and, in my walk, I have discovered you cannot set aside the teachings of those who Yeshuah Jesus said he will build His house upon. All scripture is good.

Today in America there are actually liberal leaders of cities who proclaim that jails, incarcerations and law enforcement is a sickness, unholy, and has not led to safe communities.  In other cities the blaring of the loudspeaker from mosques are now being heard robbing residents of their peace, and streets are being named after Islamic terrorist sympathizers who are calling for war against Israel and the west. People who are demanding laws be followed and American principles be respected are told be quiet and move out of the city. Further, because they dared to question these practices, they are labeled Islamophobic and promised a parade to celebrate their departure after they have left.

As a point of contention, I object to the terms which include the word phobia when it refers to workers of iniquity. This is a label the workers of iniquity want to place upon their dissenters, and or those who are in opposition to and /or disagree with their constitutions. Phobia is a Latin term meaning an irrational fear of something. I assure you that disagreement with Islam or anything having to do with the lgbtq community is certainly not irrational and does not involve fear. It’s more like disagreement or even a repulsion of the afore mentioned. To me a more proper term would be more like Islamofastidium or Transfastidium. Homofastidium really wouldn’t be quite right as Homo means man and fastidium means repulsion, disagreement with or disgust, or arrogant disgust, therefore Homofastidium would ultimately mean a disagreement with or a repulsion of humans. However since, they have proven to be exceptionally adept at hijacking positive terms and objects to suit their desires, I can make an exception as it can be directly associated with the term homosexuality.

When reading about or speaking about the subject of change in the principles of many Americans toward darkness, I hear people asking, “What happened to these people?” I remember when I was a boy, I got into a little trouble now and then. As an adult, in retrospect, I realize that that trouble was usually due to a momentary lapse of good judgement, on my part.  When this occurred, I was disciplined by my parents, as it should be. I remember also, at these times, common questions my dad would ask me were, “what has gotten into you”, or, “whatever possessed you to do that?”  It wasn’t until later on in life, until after I decided to follow Jesus and study scripture, that it fully dawned on me how remarkable the response a question like this could elicit. So, when you observe these leftists and their behavior and it prompts you to ask, “What happened to these people?” Please listen to me. Based on my experiences, what has happened is surely something dark and real from the spirit realm.

As one who has contended with demons and casts out devils, I am confident in saying that, without a doubt, these people are influenced by principalities and powers. They are under the spell of the rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Believe this, In the beginning it was the fallen angels who taught mankind dark botany, alchemy, metallurgy, warfare and weaponry. In Germany during the era of WWl through WWll German engineering was leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world. Their war machine was highly advanced and nearly unstoppable. They were spiritually assisted by those who hate God and hate God’s chosen people. They received a reward for the sacrificing of such. If it weren’t for the good flowing through the allied forces and a concerted decision and effort to take a stand, the world would be a much different place today.

The likes of AOC, Crockett, Omar, Reid, Tlaib and their ilk seem highly intelligent and quick witted above many. This comes from an ancient influence who knows God and has honed its skills over thousands of years, as it has practiced to debate, reason with and devour God’s children. An abomination in many forms allowed to inhabit people and coddled by many, including the church. Love your enemy is no way inclusive of loving THE enemy. Devils are to be cast out, rebuked and trodden under the foot of the righteous. The misguided church does, in fact, support and defend the existence of unclean spirits. In many cases these abominations and their vessels have been allowed access to pulpits all across America. Instead of rebuking and destroying the works of darkness many Christians foster and protect them, allowing them to be nurtured and grown until they devour our children.

 For decades, through many sources of media, people have been desensitized to the dangers of the demonic. Romancing and or sympathizing with monsters, witches, vampires, werewolves and ghosts has become a thing. Necromancing with the assistance of a board game or special cards given as gifts to children actually occurs today. Today the heathen rage shouting fascist, Hitler and Nazi are projection tactics to throw humanity off of the trail. Saying it loud and often can render the terms meaningless, in that they who have aligned themselves with the same dark spirits can hide behind the diminishing impact of the terms, believing you are not likely to make the connection between them and it.

Proverbs 31:8-9

8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

The lord is calling us to speak, open your mouth and speak righteously because the speechless are leading and being led to destruction. Speak judgement in righteousness, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. As Paul instructed Timothy. It is written,

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” Contend for faith and study to show thyself, approved.

Acts 4:1-33

1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

Again, His house is to be built upon the Apostles and Prophets with Jesus being the chief corner stone. In that we have to find the courage to do the work of an evangelist no matter the threat we may face.

Recently we went over who and what our Lord hates and whom he will not hear. We find record of this in the books of the prophets and writings of the Apostles. As a reminder, we read teachings such as,

Psalm 97: 10

¹⁰ Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

 

Psalm 11: 5-7

⁵ The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

⁶ Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

⁷ For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

 

Psalm 5:5

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

 

John 9: 31

³¹ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

The prophet Amos teaches us this in,

Amos 5:15

15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

Within the word of God we find how He hates all workers of lawlessness. They who are haughty and prideful. Those who bare false witness and speak lies. They who devise wickedness, shed innocent blood, are quick to make mischief and sow discord among the brethren. Those who betray Him and those who offend children who believe in Him. It is written, “Woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.”

And, 

“It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Proverbs 6:16-19

16 These six things doth the Lord hatshed innocent bloode: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

The teachings of our Lord and savior, the Christ child, are flowing through the prophets and apostles with encouragement guidance, and instruction, “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” I know it seems like we have been focusing on the things that are disdainful to God lately and I asked Him why this is so, why are we coming from this direction consistently?  I believe His response is, because you will. Because few others will and though many don’t want to hear it, it is none the less the word of God he wants preached so that repentance for the remission of sin will be practiced by those who have an ear and are willing to hear and then do.

Many sitting in the churches do not want to hear this part of the teachings of Yeshua Jesus the Christ child of Nazareth. We have heard them proclaim things like, God does not speak to me like that, or because, all I have to do is believe, I am already bought by the blood of the sacrifice Jesus shed on the cross. But the truth we all must remember is this, scripturally, Jesus teaches that not everyone is a child of God and God does not love everyone. He hates all workers of iniquity. It is His word, He spoke it. He is the potter we are the clay. Can the clay form the potter? Also, so very important to remember is that God forbids that we carry on in sin because grace abounds. Further, in

Hebrews 10:26 it is written,

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

When I was a boy, I got into a little trouble now and then. For me what was the worst of the punishment was not the anticipation of the punishment, nor the stern talking to nor the spankings. It was the profound disappointment in the air and on the faces of my parents that troubled me the most. In those moments I profoundly experienced a separation from them their approval and acceptance, dare I say even their love. It took acknowledgement of and apologies for wrong doing on my part as well as time for this feeling of separation to wane and disappear. That time spent in remorse and feeling separated was more of a deterrent than any other punishment. I was sensitive to it.

We who are spiritual are sensitive to the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In preparing for this teaching and writing it out, I was in tears more than once because of this, I believe.

In Psalms 2 above we read,

“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

This is one of those times when Old Testament scripture is teaching us about Jesus. To kiss means to come into agreement and/or with to make a covenant with. We need to align ourselves with Him before we perish in the way that comes with not doing so. Jesus like God gets angry and His wrath is yet to be felt by the workers of iniquity or wickedness. The times and events prophesied in the book of revelations are yet to come. He will sweep the floor clean and burn up the chaff.

Working iniquity is working lawlessness. Lawlessness is transgression of the Law. Sin is transgression of the law. Why do the heathen rage? The answer is absolutely heart breaking. They rage in the state of unrepentant sin. They rage because of the lack of alignment with Jesus. The heathens rage because they demand the destruction of Gods children and know that because of the intervention of eternal matters it simply will not materialize. The heathens rage because they demand the blessings of the kingdom eternal while rejecting the beliefs and works such a blessing requires. The heathen rages because they have a more profound love of the world and the things it then they can muster for God and the things of the Kingdom of God. The bible tells us this, “If you don’t know love you don’t know God because God is love. The heathens rage because they know that God is love and that God hates all workers of iniquity. The heathens rage because absent repentance and obedience to God they find themselves in a constant state of turmoil, vexation, and a separation from the Father. The Father is love who can stand to be separated from love, who can stand to be hated by love?

Romans 8:31-39

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
