Isaiah 10:1-2 Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
Proverbs 17:23 The wicked accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice.
Important Takeaways:
- Our bad ‘leaders’ really are children of the devil
- “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.” (John 8:44 KJ21).
- Jesus usually managed to say a lot, without speaking a lot of words.
- The power-hungry today imagine themselves statesmen and women, not dark, shadowy, back-room deal makers and breakers. They like to speak great, flowing words that wash over one another… In the end, the audience remembers how well he or she spoke, but still knows little to nothing about what was spoken about
- The present disinformation warfare we have all been engaged in (either producing, echoing, or consuming) is indeed a direct effort by the father of lies…
- The answer for those who attempt to parse and understand the lies of the devil’s offspring in our day is not found in understanding, but rather in confronting the speakers with God’s Word as recorded in the Bible. God forever honors His covenants and promises. Trying to “understand” a liar is futile. Lying isn’t about clearing up confusion, it’s about obtaining power over others. Once the liar possesses the power or the position, the need to convince anyone disappears.
- The Truth versus the devil’s lies. The church was ill-equipped for this war, but I do not rule out another “Red Sea” moment, which reduced Egypt to an also-ran nation for all of history. The Bridegroom is unlikely to abandon the Bride in her hour of need, but I think she may have some remedial education to complete before she is ready for the wedding.
