Calling Good “Evil” and Evil “Good” (The Day of the LORD (3))

God used his prophets to announce the coming Day of the LORD to his people when they crossed a particular line in the sand. That line occurs when a society begins to call good “evil” and evil “good.” The United States crossed that line a long time ago.  Two dates come particularly to mind. The first was when the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed prayer in public schools in 1963.  The second was when the same court in 1973 legalized abortion in every state of the union. Christians remained largely silent on both occasions. They kept sending their kids to public schools and they began sending their daughters and wives to the abortionist’s butcher block.

God gave us many years to repent after those days now two generations ago, but we have not repented. Christians continue to flock to public schools (because they are free of course!) and to send their daughters for abortions. Today’s public school success rate is only 18 percent, but hey, “it’s free!” Our sons daughters learn all about every sort of sex there in mandated sex education programs and our daughters are sometimes even bussed from school for an abortion without a parents knowledge or consent, but hey, “it’s free!”

Now we have leaders of “Christian” schools singing the praises of abortion and homosexuality. How can this be? What has happened to the once Christian United States of America? Slowly we began to let sin creep into our lives, often through movies and television. We became tantalized by the beautiful women, handsome men, and romantic affairs. Then the affairs became more graphic.  We also began to support one lawless war after another, never bothering to win even one … Korea, Vietnam, Iraq (remember we left Saddam Hussein in power in 1991). We sent our girls and boys to die for meaningless conflicts in lands that have nothing to do with us. In the meantime we as a people developed a bloodlust. The movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre comes to mind although I never saw nor would see it. I don’t watch movies, so I really can’t list any more for you, but the title of this one alone reveals this truth and it has been a continuing hit with sequels for decades now. We as a people love illicit sex and blood. We are a fornicating, murdering people.

Of course, we don’t admit that. We pretend otherwise. We pretend we are upset with John Edwards for having an adulterous affair while he runs for President and we make his wife a feminist hero for not divorcing him. On the other hand we simply ignored all we knew about Teddy Kennedy’s affairs and idolized him. I just happened to mention two Democrats here, but Republicans are no better. Just do a little research into who Henry Kissinger is and what he is all about, or George H. W. Bush, or Dick Cheney. Capitalist big business is no better than Communist big business. It’s all about covetousness and money. And lust is lust and murder is murder.

But no one admits to these things. We hide behind our lies and say these bad things don’t happen, or, like Dean Ragsdale, we simply change the definition of things and say these things are not bad. Thus people like Ragsdale end up rejoicing and being blessed by abortion and homosexuality. They have inverted, perverted, and redefined God’s Law. They have called good “evil” and evil “good.” They can no longer repent for now they have nothing to repent of. Jesus says that these people have now become “unforgivable.”

Therefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. (Matthew 12:31-32)

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of purity and perfection. If you do not believe what he says, if for example, you believe that murder (abortion) is good, then you have spoken against the Holy Spirit. If you believe that homosexuality is good, then you have spoken against the Holy Spirit. If you believe that fornication is good, then you have spoken against the Holy Spirit. For you truth does not exist because God (the Holy Spirit) is truth and you deny the truth that he speaks. Thus you cannot be forgiven because you cannot repent. You have nothing to repent of, do you?

When men reach this level of wickedness, the wickedness Sodom knew and the wickedness even Israel and Judah knew before each were destroyed, the Day of the LORD comes.

Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel [Christian Church]. The virgin of Israel [Christian Church – the destruction of Christ Church, New Zealand by earthquake was another sign of the Day of the LORD] has fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up. For thus says the Lord GOD; The city [the Christian Church always considered herself the Bride of Christ and the future resident of New Jerusalem, but she has sinned as did Jerusalem of old that destroyed in 70 AD for her crucifixion of Christ and murdering of Christians] that went out by a thousand shall have left a hundred, and that which went forth by a hundred shall have left ten, to the house of Israel Christian Church]. For thus says the LORD unto the house of Israel [Christian Church], Seek me, and you shall live: But seek not Bethel [Do not go back to you old ways, your Nicolaitan and Jezebel churches], nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing. [The era of the Christian Church is over. She is Mystery Babylon and you must come out of her] Seek the LORD, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph [Epraim, son of Joseph, was the leading tribe in Israel so this also speaks of the Christian Church], and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.

[No God begins to explain why judgment must come, the calling of evil “good” and good “evil”] You who turn justice to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, Seek him that makes the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: That strengthens the plundered against the strong, so that the plundered shall come against the fortress. They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly. Since therefore you tread upon the poor, and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine of them. For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, [nothing is done in government or big business without bribes] and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. (Amos 5:1-15)

Maybe, if we repent, the LORD will be gracious to us! But, we cannot repent if we call good “evil” and evil “good.” Thus the Day of the LORD must come … it has come. This is the Day of the LORD.
