After 10 thousand posts analyzing current events and political policy against Scripture, the Constitution and history, certain revelations have dawned on me.

In the Relativity thread in this forum I talked about the fact that God lives outside of the constraints of time. And therefore time, (His creation along with all the other natural laws) has no bearing upon His existence. In fact were God to withhold His power which governs the universe, all matter would just fly apart and vanish.

Colossians 1:16-17
16 for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

Hebrews 1:3
And He is the radiance of His (The Father's) glory and the exact representation of His (The Father's) nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

But given His sovereignty over all things as pointed out in the Relativity thread, He has seen man's first breath and his last. Which of course means that the Lord has already seen the entirety of the history of man unfold. That being the case, all prophecy really is is the future written in the historical sense. He has literally already seen it all.

I have spoken out against the things of which I believe are contrary to the Word of God that are going on in this country, and frankly across the globe. And though speaking out is mandatory for the Christian, we shouldn't get the idea that we would ever change history with what we have to say. It's not for the lack of truth being spoken or lack of the message of right versus wrong being spoken. The truth IS out there and being spoken from every medium across the planet. The simple truth is men have and are rejecting truth.

Every Christian could speak out until he is blue in the face every day and it wouldn't be enough to right America's nor any other ship of state in the world. Spiritual depravity is a choice. Just like bowing down before the Almighty is a choice and as the Scripture says;

Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Few find eternal life but all are convicted of their sin. So as I say we should speak out. Through the government's inserting itself into men's personal affairs as arbiter of all things moral, while at the same time rejecting the Author of morality, we get things like the insanity of men competing as women in women's sports and school boards trying to teach gender neutrality to kindergartners. We have to speak out. But we shouldn't expect to win a lot of arguments.

Conclusions? Well first of all we can gather that since God has already seen the things of the Tribulation Era happen, they are 100% immutable and therefore Christians should accept the Lord's warnings and have pity and foreboding for those who openly reject the truths of the Bible. Secondly, Christians should set aside their contempt for the day of judgment. Only God could handle such an enormous task. And third, speaking out is one thing---- acting out is totally unacceptable. God has already seen it and since He has withheld His hand for the day of Judgment. We must be content with that, stay out of history's way and with respect, speak out.
