Rebellion or Mercy the Path Well Worn

Rebellion or Mercy – There is a Path Well Worn and it has been traveled since the first beginnings of man on the earth. Today we are far removed, but the same sin problem is in effect. It is a hard path, one strewn with stones, boulders, and other obstacles. It takes time in this life to make your way, for there are troubles on many levels. Yet the persistent ones travel it and never give up. Today in this nation we find troublers on that path who bring the hand of rebellion down upon all who travel their way. Included is a special insert called An Ode to Mercy and Rebellion. It is Prose written in style to reveal a truth.

Thus, Lamb of God we come, with offerings of love and rejoicing in your presence. When troubles arise, Christians seek their God and Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  In the wee hours of the morning this song came to me, echoing out in my sleep as I replayed the riots, looting, murders, and pillaging going on in lawless America. One scene played out when I saw a video of the rioters rejoicing in the streets dancing while waiting for those who legally could begin proceedings to defund the police. In some cases, do away with them all together. In the smoldering ruins of defaced statues, pulled down treasures of history, and burned-out stores, the lawless gains of young people lead astray by Marxist revolutionary ideals seemed to have won the moment in many cities of America. The enemy of the Lord, the hater of the soul, that one who is a liar, a thief, and works to bring all creation down. It is a battle that we wage, however in the essence of truth and virtue; we know that the redeemer has wrought for us victory to which we shall never be defeated.

“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

Yet it is true, they have not overturned America. They have awakened a Lion. In their rejoicing misery will surely come. For if Gods work to have blessed America is to end, their experiment in nation building is a farce. For they are mere pawns in a bigger game. A game as old as empires and revolutions. They will lose the rejoicing and joy, for misery and her friend’s recompense are around the corner. These who believe that law and order is on their side as they indeed beat up people, rape, and destroyed many blocks of the inner cities will find it is not what they think. It is as Jesus stood over Jerusalem weeping. “How oft would I have gathered you as a Mother Hen does her chicks, but you would have none of it.” The mercy he wanted to give; Israel refused. So, have these in America. Through their rebellion over these many years, lawlessness has come full circle. As this plays out, liberal politicians and those who have gained power as socialist purveyors all lead their people to blind rage and change. But this is not the end but the beginning of sorrows for these people.

I am reminded when I see the destruction and that moment when older Americans, many older blacks who know the truth try to explain the statues they are tearing down. “Don’t do it, that man is not kneeling; nor is Lincoln holding him down; he has freed him from the grip.” To this the young people ignored him, although they did not beat him. I saw two different videos’, one an older lady who castigated them for doing it and an older gentleman who tried. To no avail it looked like. Sad that these have lost their way. Would these kids listen, the ones who are tearing the cities and America apart? Kids, not all blacks; but many whites and other races. No, for they have been washed in deceit and comforted in rebellion. Could they understand that many of the treasured songs of the church in America are indeed what was once called “Negro spirituals”, sang by blacks in the south amidst the life of slavery and toil. We fought a civil war to free them. Many died on both sides. It was Abraham Lincoln who said Malice for none. President Lincolns second Inaugural address on March 4^th, 1865, came on the heels of a divided nation, a bloody war, and the end was near. As well, slavery was to end at that time. Yet today, those who believe they are righteous; fueled by hate and lies; will not tolerate any of this history. They will rewrite their own if given a chance. Most of it pumped out by liberal professors who sowed seeds of hate and rebellion in the classrooms of America.

 It is times like this I think of another old song of the church. “Just as I am Oh Lamb of God I come” is a treasured Song of the church. The first chorus goes “Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me, and that Thou bid’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come!” The song is a very well-known hymn of the church written by Charlotte Elliot in 1835. It was known in the beginning first appearing in the Christian Remembrancer to which Elliot had become the editor in 1836.

Further, I think of the words “Pass me not oh Gentle Savior, do not pass me by.” This also came to mind this morning as I thought about all these things in America. The song by popular Gospel writer Fanny Crosby urges the Savior to pass them not and hear her cry while at the same time, he is calling on others; ending this with “do not pass me by.”  She wrote this in 1868.

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

hear my humble cry.

while on others thou art calling,

do not pass me by.

Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

hear my humble cry.

while on others thou art calling,

do not pass me by.

We have instructed our children about technology, health, education, injustice, justice, and many other things. These generations have had it all. Yet in their abundance, they have decided it was all a lie, so they want to tear it down. Even have no police. So, while the murder rates and crime increase very quickly, they are rejoicing to have America on the run. Or do they? The liberals and their associates would do anything, sacrifice whatever it would take to rid America of their fear that President Trump and his MAGA along with all the supporters could stop their agenda by winning the White House again! They hate him, his supporters, Christians, conservatives, and more. The divisive political climate is ripe for harvest, and it is not surprising during a pandemic, that riots occur destroying our infrastructure and way of life.

Many might think that as Jesus Wept over Jerusalem, he is weeping over what is happening in America? On the contrary, he went to the cross. He made provision for us. In America, he blessed this nation. In addition, over the years many have warned this nation of their insolence, rebellion, pursuit of sinful pleasures, and hedonistic lifestyles. Churches adapted to this in America and began the Seeker friendly church. No more gospel, no more holiness preaching, and no more sanctification. No regeneration of the sinner through the spirit of God. It is a new age, a new church, and a new message; so now the hedonism in America that has soaked our children and us thoroughly is complete. The words are true, “because sin and iniquity abound, the love of many will wax cold.”

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Rebellion or Mercy the Path Well Worn | Matthew 24:12

Yet the lifestyle and the message has not reached generations of Americans. The message of liberal professors and colleges filled with radical communist and socialist groups has reached this nation. The Lord is saying to us, “you have rejected me, now you can have what you seek.” It is not surprising that Psalm One warns us “The ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. The LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish -Psalm 1: 4-5.”

It is not surprising that following Psalm One is the second one which tells us to “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry.” Even further, the Psalmist asks “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and His anointed, saying, ‘Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.’” 

We picture a world full of leaders of people that have purposely set their agenda’s as anti-god and are vehemently opposed to the Son of God.  Thus, as the delusion pushes on, it is the gentiles or heathen, goi, goyem here that rage against God. They are imagining a vain thing, i.e. “To remove God and his anointed from power”. Yet Paul describes this in 2^nd Thessalonians and chapter two, saying that they will “reject the Love of the truth.” A society that fully rejects God the Father and His Son, the gospel, and the fact he so loved the World that he gave his Son as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind so that they would be redeemed. Yet they reject it and are given a delusion on a grand scale, the son of perdition, or the son of destruction. So, named because through signs and wonders, he sets himself up as God in the temple of God and leads the world astray into destruction. But the conclusion of Psalm 2 gives the warning these generations of young people and old alike need to hear!

¹ Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? ² The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, ³ Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. ⁴ He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. ⁵ Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. ⁶ Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ⁷ I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. ⁸ Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. ¹⁰ Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. ¹¹ Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. ¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Moreover, as these events play out in America, we also find trouble and turmoil worldwide. China has been hell-bent on destroying churches, stopping all people of faith; including Christians, Muslims, and anyone else from doing what they do. Worship communism and the state; for “we provide for you.” They now have eyes on Hong Kong and now that jewel is set to become just like China proper. It won’t go well. North Korea continues it remote oppression of Christianity and its people in general. Christian Persecution continues unabated worldwide. White Afrikaners in South Africa have been experiencing genocide at the hands of the black tribes in that country who follow the dictates to kill all whites. The communist run regime of South Africa has a purpose and white Afrikaners don’t fit in. The same slogan “kill all whites” is now used freely by those on the streets in America! It is not unusual now to see black on white violence, including murder. But black on black violence is also a problem. In fact, black on black violence in the inner cities of America is worse than white on black violence. 

During all this I saw a short video where a black Pastor was preaching his sermon and saying “we stay in our homes at night, we are afraid and frightened of what is going on outside in the streets. It isn’t the white race that is killing us and our children, it is those black teenagers outside our doors.” Now the words I have written are true to my recollection of hearing him voice his truths. His voice breaking at times, on the verge of tears and heartbreak. 

The path of rebellion is well worn. That is this story today of America and many other nations. So well-worn is this path that scriptures have revealed to us this rebellion from long ago. The same rebellion, sin, and sinners that exist today, happened so long ago. In fact, Psalm 10 reflects this. The writer lists the wicked and their ways. Stating in times of trouble, the psalmist asks “why standest thou afar off, O LORD?” In times of trouble where is the Lord he wonders. Why are these wicked allowed to do this? How can they get away with a mouth that is full of “cursing and deceit and fraud” while “under his tongue is mischief and vanity?” 

The list that is given looks like it is out of America proper, the liberal big cities of Seattle, New York city, Chicago, or Los Angeles. The Psalmist is correct in that he says of these wicked who believe “God has forgotten, he hides his face, he will never see.” I call this the idea that God is off golfing and could care less scenario. Many today use this. It doesn’t matter as they don’t believe God exists, leastwise one that will do anything. Another of the many lies propagated by the Marxist and Communist theology.

⁶ He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. ⁷ His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. ⁸ He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. ⁹ He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. ¹⁰ He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. ¹¹ He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Rebellion or Mercy the Path Well Worn | Psalm 10:6-11

There is no doubt that scriptures given us by the prophets and apostles point to such dichotomy between the righteous and the wicked. Between the things of God and that of man. Yet today in America, a nation with Christian and Jewish heritage and a tie in that our forefathers used the Ten Commandments; is heading towards destruction. Already the thugs have been celebrating as politicians try to convince them to be good children and go home. But these are not our kids anymore, they are anarchists, firebrands, murderers, pillagers, rioters, and freedom fighters. They purpose to cause trouble and destroy it all if we won’t listen. The liberal politicians are doing things to the cities of America that will make things worse. It is liberal socialist agendas, and Marxist tactics to destabilize this nation. But the far worse thing here is that generations of American children have been lost to redemption through Jesus Christ. While at the same time in many of our Christian pulpits are preachers who are liars, cheats, and the devil himself. They are preaching things that will lead people to hell. But know that there is hope.

¹ Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. ² They speak vanity everyone with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. ³ The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: ⁴ Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? ⁵ For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. ⁶ The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. ⁷ Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever. ⁸ The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Rebellion or Mercy the Path Well Worn | Psalm 12:1

In these tough times, seek the Lord. Read the Word and pray constantly. Find comfort in that the Lord already told us what would happen. He is in control. Find this in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13 all detailing the prophetic end of days. America will not stand because she is America. She will only stand if we do so in righteousness and truth. She will only be the foundation that she was if we get back to the truth of the gospel of salvation. While the young people riot and say America were slavers at the beginning, know that slavery was long held before this nation was. It was because of America and those in it that were disgusted by it that they stopped the practice. But history shows us from the Romans to the African tribes, to the American Indian tribes; all imbibed in war, pillaging, and taking slaves; not to forget having blood on their hands. The only way to innocence in the world is through Christ Jesus, his blood, and your redemption. The only truth is Christ Jesus, the only way to life eternal is through redemption in our savior.

Ode to Mercy and Rebellion

As they walked, upon a scene did they come. A person lay off to the side of the road. Rebellion wanted to keep walking, but Mercy stopped. At this, Rebellion was mad and then joined his side.

Mercy went near and took him gently to find the matter, but this one did not move. He was sure that life was ebbing away from this poor one he had come upon.  Rebellion saw a cane and grabbed it as his own, it was an exceptionally fine one. To this he was glad. Mercy told him that the cane was not his, but this one who was injured. To this Rebellion cared not.

Mercy had some extra cloth in his pocket and bandaged a wound. He made a sling from some branches and twigs. Laying this hurt one on his carrier of wood, he then stood and pulled this one as gently as he could.

Rebellion saw something on the ground. It was some gold pieces and a purse. To this he took it all and filled his own pocket. This made him glad. Mercy saw this and told him it was not his. Rebellion just smiled saying “finders’ keepers, losers’ weepers.” Mercy walked on as Rebellion stayed behind to find more treasures.

As time went on, Mercy pulled and struggled with his load and took care. For the one was stirring and looked up. As they went upon a house they did come. Suddenly, a voice said, “stop here this is mine.” Mercy took up the stranger he did help and knocked on the door and waited.

It opened so slowly and inside a child; not more than a youngster who is too young to be alone. Yet he took his load, Mercy did carry the one whom he had helped and sat him on his bed.

“Thank you, stranger,” a voice said and looked to see this child smiling and spry. “I will take care of him; this has happened before. There are crooks all around and they look to do harm. May God bless you richly, for he is our Father. He cares for us now that mom has gone on. She is with him right now and I know she is okay.”

Mercy had a tear and felt he should do more; yet the child was so bold and so old for his age, he took to take care of his dad who was there.

Mercy walked on and soon was joined by Rebellion. Mercy looked at him as he counted his loot. But soon robbers stopped them and took Rebellion aside. They took his money and beat him badly. Mercy bent down and took to give aid. Rebellion looked up and with a tear did sigh. “Why do you help me, Rebellion this way?” Mercy replied as he smiled so sincere, “it is the way for me, since God do I fear, and to him I do follow, all the days that I live. For once I was like you and he taught me the way; so, I walk in Mercy so I will receive Mercy and learn the way of love.”

There are two paths ahead, both are well worn. One is called Mercy and the other one Rebellion. Which one will the devil tell you to take? That is easy, Rebellion; he is not only the Father of lies, but the creator of Rebellion. The other path, Mercy, is where you find deliverance, forgiveness, and truth. Along with peace, love, joy, and a relationship with our God and Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The choice is yours. To begin Read John chapters: 1, 3, 10-18; 1^st John the entire book, Romans chapters 1-8, Ephesians chapter one, and Revelation chapters 1, 12, 13, 17, 18, and 22.
