Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the Law of the LORD of Hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 5:20-24)
A clear warning to those that pervert reality for their own agenda; whether it is political, religious, social or personal. We see it all around us and in all areas of this world. As we move steadily toward the final act of GOD's plan for the ages, He told us that things would get worse; but as He warns here woe to those that speed it along.
Those in or out of the 'church' that attempt to justify that which GOD Himself has already condemned He says are judged already as rottenness and wickedness. The reason underlying all their sIn is their hatred for GOD's Word. Political, religious , social and business leaders would rather listen to "Yea, hath GOD said?" than "Thus sayeth the LORD!" because their deeds are evil. The light of GOD's Truth has shown them for what they are. And it shows us what we are as well. We are without excuse; for a bigger reality is that ALL have sinned, and only through the grace of GOD is anybody saved and made holy before GOD. Christians aren't perfect, but GOD is not through with us yet, for one day when He calls us Home, we will out of this world and forever with the Lord. Until then we need to be strong, proclaim truth from His Word, and be salt and light against this evil world in all areas of our life: Political, Religious, Social and personal.
Those that have never put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, and experienced the new birth are still lost in their sIn. GOD calls everyone everywhere to repent, that is surrender to Him on His terms and receive His gift of love and mercy. He is not willing that any should perish, He loves you enough to take your place, and pay for your sIn on the cross of Calvary. Believe Him today.
Those in Christ must stand on the Truth of GOD's Word and proclaim it that it might shed its light in this dark world. Share the Love of Jesus everywhere you go.
In Christ,
