Daily Devotional Feb 11th 2021: Planet of the Apes
Yesterday's madness during the dying minutes of day two in the unjustified impeachment trial of President Trump showed the Senate for what it has become: a house of liars, a congregation of madmen, and a den of vipers. Left-wing extremist and crowned senator, Mr. Leahy, was utterly confused during the proceedings and took instruction from demon-oppressed enemy of God, senator Chuck "Chucky Schemer" Schumer. What a farce. Accuser, jury, judge, and executioner; they don't even pretend to hold the appearance of fairness. It is a clown show. "Planet of the Apes" came to my mind when I scanned the headlines this morning. No, I didn't watch the circus trial. No need to look into the abyss. We know what it is about. They can fool themselves and their followers, though. All sanity seems to evaporate at an astounding rate, not only in the people's House, but in this nation. People are going utterly nuts.
An insane woman in Louisiana sprayed her hair with Gorilla Glue because she ran out of hairspray. She then left the glue in her 'hair' for four weeks and then went to the ER to have it removed. If this wasn't crazy enough, she found lawyers who filed a frivolous lawsuit against Gorilla Glue. The poor demonic looking human has lost her marbles, and the unethical lawyer, seeking to make a million or two, is no better off. If she wins the lawsuit, we can all confidentially say, there is no sanity in the Judicial either. I am still outraged by the judgment in the spilled hot coffee case against MacDonald's decades ago. There certainly isn't one iota of sanity in the Executive and Legislative branches after the enemy stole the election, and the cowards who are supposed to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, looked and cheered the coup on. Enemies of the people.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Republic, beacon of hope! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Of course, the correct Scripture is Isaiah 14:12, and the US is not Satan, but it is run by people who are destroying everything that is good, honorable, and pleasing to the LORD. It's biblical, though, and the failure of the church to cease the moment during President Trump's four years in office has passed mostly unused. The church is to blame, and judgement will come upon the House of God first. See yesterday's devotional.
But back to the madness. Here is what God has to say about it:
Deuteronomy 28
“The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:”
Why - the world going mad? Let's look at that verse in context.
25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine *** shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
That's the outcome the ungodly face. I do not envy them.
Let's look at some verses before this section:
God's Blessings Deuteronomy 28
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Does this resemble the blessings our nation enjoyed up until now? God blessed the United States, and then what happened? The people turned away from God. Here is how this reads in Deuteronomy. I urge you to read Deuteronomy 28 and pray it out loud. It will do wonders for your soul!
God's Curses Deuteronomy 28
One in Four: Blessings and Curses - Let's recap:
There are 14 blessings (vv 1-14), and 54 curses (vv 15-68) in Deuteronomy 28, nearly three quarters cursings than blessings. He is warning the people saying: All you people on earth: this is what you will bring upon yourselves if you do not follow my statues. This isn't to harm you, this is to warn you, that you may not choose curses.
God's Will?
Deuteronomy 30:19
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
Let Deuteronomy 28, and 30:19 be our prayer today, so that the people are set choose life, not death, that they may enjoy blessings, not suffer curses, that we may live. But this can only happen if we as individuals, and as a nation, root out the evil among us, when we do not buy from evil companies such as Amazon, when we do not subscribe to the immoral, such as Netflix, when we do not use their 'free' services, such as from ABC Google, when parents stand up to sexual perverts in schools and in public, when we reject insanity on its merits and stand up for God and that His righteousness may become our righteousness so that we may be overtaken by His blessings, and not His curses.
Let it be so.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
