I Urge You To Pray

Two articles today at the American Thinker point to much deeper issues in our country than merely the work of man, though man can be evil. The first article, by Trish Randall is We've Forgotten What A Woman Is -- And Isn't. She asserts, not without millions of years of wisdom behind such assertions, that men and women have different skill sets. These skills need to properly combined, not used as a wedge. Then there is Richard H. Chiero writing From the 'L' Word to Cultural Marxism. both articles point out that many of our problems were spurred on by Marxist invading our nation with the intention of taking it down. I have often pointed out that the United States, as founded, stood as a rebuke to Marxism. We were literally minding our own business; they were the aggressors. The Left is still the aggressors.  But what makes the Left so powerful?  A mere philosophy can not persuade so many people.

Marxism, and those who follow it are, on the surface, the cause of much of our problems. But underneath, there is a deeper cause, which Jonathon Cahn delves deeply into in his book, The Return of the Gods. Much that plagues modern America also plagued the ancient world. I remember reading about the ancient gods Ba'al, Ashteroth, and Molech. People made idols to these gods - really demons, and worhiped them. Because the Bible places so much emphasis on not worshipping idols, I believed that these were merely mythological phenomena. But Cahn has shown that the culural plague we are witnessing, including abortions, feminism, transgenderism, the LBGTIA+ pride parades, the drag queens, the hook up culture, not to mention rampant pedophilia and more are all things that the ancient "gods" brought to ancient cultures. When Christianity began to flourish, these demons were slowly driven out.

Like a bad penny, however, when we started to kick God our Creator out of our schools, out of our public life, the "gods" came back. First Ba'al, as people became obsessed with becoming rich. They worshipped celebrities and wanted to be like them.  They wanted the fame and fortune and persued that to the exclusion of God. Then Asteroth, otherwise know as Istar came back with a vengence, stirring up again the gay and lesbian movements.   Meanwhile, while we no longer throw children into the fires of Moleck's belly, now doctors tear the unborn limb from limb while ephemistically calling it a clumb of cells, as if it were a tumor. Jesus predicted what we are going through in Matthew 12:

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

We will all have to pay for this, somehow. I urge you to begin praying, if you don't already.
