GOD’S ETERNAL JUSTICE IS SURE

It is very disheartening watching the lawlessness taking place in the United States and the world each day. In my life time of 60+ years I’ve never seen anything like it. America was a nation of law in the past. Today we have lost our way.

God’s justice is eternal. His law is spiritual, just, and eternal: I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. Ps 119.7

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. Romans 7.14

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6.23

God demands justice and He is not above the law. When man sinned God had to uphold the law and bring judgment. He sent His only begotten Son, Yeshua, to redeem mankind with His own blood. Think on that for a few moments.

The Creator, King of the Universe, is not above the law! He sent His son to die for mankind’s lawlessness. Sin is transgression of the law (1 John 3.4). The King was not above the law. The only way was justice. This justice cost the Judge His only son. This is amazing when you consider it. Would any of us sacrifice our own son for justice?

God demands justice and all His judgments are righteous. In the Old Testament God required that the king of the nation should physically write a copy of the law in his own handwriting:

“And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, approved by the Levitical priests. Deut 17.18

In God’s justice system no person is above the law—not even the king. God always abides by His law. He does not use loop holes to get around anything. His Torah is eternal and in the Millennial Kingdom all nations will abide by it.

GOD IS NOT PETTY

God is not petty or snively. He is not sitting on His throne waiting for us to sin. He does not desire to judge us. He is always looking for one thing: A contrite heart. He is ready to forgive if we recognize our sin and humbly come before Him. This is not an easy thing to do—it goes against our sinful nature.

Read Psalm 51 and you will see the humble and contrite heart of King David after he committed adultery and sent Bathsheba’s husband to the battle front to be killed (2 Samuel 11 and 12). When David realized his sin he did not try to defend himself or make excuse—he was prostrate on his face immediately!

Do we ever see such humility in the world today? Does anyone admit to anything today?

David was a man after God’s heart (Acts 13.22; 1 Samuel 13.14). We need more of this kind of man in the world today. This is what God is looking for in each one of us.

GOD ALLOWS US TO ERR

God is not waiting to rain judgment upon mankind. He has established His Torah/Law in the earth. The Torah is considered the first five books of the Bible…Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. A good book to read for an overview of the law is Deuteronomy. This book is Moses reviewing the laws of God with the Israelites before his death.

After reviewing the law Deuteronomy 28 (and Leviticus 26) discusses the penalties for disobedience. The law is spiritual, active, and eternal. Deuteronomy 28 points out the blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. These are both automatic.

In other words the law is in effect. When we disobey the curses automatically begin to take place in our personal or, for that matter, our national lives. These blessings and cursing are both personal and national—especially to “Christian” nations.

There is no way around the penalties for disobedience except we humbly come before God as David did and ask forgiveness. The more we rebel personally or nationally the more the curses become activated. God doesn’t have to sit there and watch. The law is active. The blessings and curses are ours to choose!

SOME CURSES WHICH ARE NOW ACTIVE

The following curses are now active in the United States (and the world) and will continue to multiply as the nation chooses curses rather than blessings:

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: Leviticus 26.19…we see America’s power weakening throughout the world today.

The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Deut 28.43-44…those immigrating to America are becoming more powerful than those who have lived here their entire lives, Foreign nations, like China, lend to us, we are in debt to them, eventually they will control us as we become more indebted to them.

The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. Deut 28.20…this is how people deal with one another in a divided nation. America is a divided nation. No one discusses issues in a civil manner.

Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. Deut 28.30…Adultery and divorce are rampant in our society, people are going bankrupt daily, our prosperity is dwindling.

Read Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 for yourself. These things are happening because our country is becoming lawless and disrespectful of Almighty God. We are destroying ourselves through disobedience towards God’s eternal laws.

If we continue down this path there will be a terrible day of judgment upon the nation:

And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not…Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Jeremiah 7.13, 16

The nation had fallen into such lawlessness and immorality that God actually told Jeremiah to stop praying for the nation…God had to judge them for their sins…they refused to repent (Rev 16.9-11).

This is a most terrible place to be. We, as God’s people must raise our voice and do the work God has ordained for us…seek Him out and find His will for you in this hour!
