TEXT: ISAIAH 22:15-25
KEY VERSE: “In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it” (Isaiah 22:25).
On April 1, 2001, four same-sex persons were married by the mayor of Amsterdam to usher the first legal gay union in the world.
Since the Netherlands became the first country on planet earth to do so, several other nations have followed suit, with great pressure mounting on mainly the developing countries to join in this futile assault on God’s sacred law for His creatures. Leading prosperous Western nations sanctioning this travesty have threatened to deny economic aid to African nations which are resisting their overtures on this perversion. In November 2008, South Africa fell prey, becoming the first Africa country to bring in marriage for gay couples.
How far will these nations and their governments forming an army to upset the plan of the Creator on gender relations go? God promises to overthrow all those who progress in error in defiance of His laws like the heathen nations around Israel and Judah. Kir, Elam, Dumah, Egypt, Zoan etc., trampled on God’s injunctions concerning idol worship, marriage, respect for His prophets etc. and thought they had gone beyond God’s reach with their sinful institutions.
However, God sent His prophet to warn them that the laws sustaining evil and giving it a semblance of acceptance “shall be cut off... and fall.” God Who is “of purer eyes than to behold evil” (Habakkuk 1:13) has not changed His attitude to sin. Only those who repent of their sins to live righteously and piously will escape His indignation and judgment.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Evil nations will not progress in error for long.
