As I watch the news on this Passover day, I see division on all sides. Trump says “”America is going to Hell””and it is not the only Western nation tearing itself apart. Here in Australia, we have an apparently naive Prime Minister determined to change our Constitution, and thereby create division between the indigenous minority and the rest. Britain is ridden with endless strikes because the economy is bust, and France can’t accept that fact itself, either.

Prophecy is being fulfilled around the world, and sadly, there is even division in God’s Church. Some division is caused by the gospel. Luke 12:51, ‘Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division.’ 

John 7:5. ‘For neither did his brethren believe in him.’ We have to accept that Truth can cause divisions as we don’t all see the scriptures in the same way, at the same time.

But we must not let that separate us from the love that should unite us.’ 2 Corinthians 12:20, ‘For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults.’ John 13:35, ‘By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.’ Galatians 5:22, ‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.’

Our Saviour still had love for all His churches listed in Revelation 2-3, even though He hated some of their doctrines, so we cannot let doctrine cut off  the love we should have for each other.

God help us to learn that, so that we maybe of use to Him, in His Kingdom, Ephesians 5:2, ‘And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.’

Here in Australia, for the first time in over 100 years, the Labour Party has gained a seat in a by-election from the Opposition. This is rare, but is becoming common to many democratic nations around the world, where conservative parties are losing ground to the “Progressives” of the radical left, whose polices are more in tune with the atheistic, anti-biblical, or, one might say, Satanic principles of the age, for that is their origin, though few would know this,

2 Corinthians 4:4, ‘In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.’

If we examine these “progressive” policies which are impacting our culture, we find ‘politically correct”, “woke” agendas triumphing over traditional principles which  withstood the test of time for centuries, even Millenia.

Christian marriage, male and female roles, the adoption of pagan ceremony by fawning politicians eager to display their ‘woke “credentials, the undermining of democracy by racial distinction, bias towards homosexuality and other evils in our state owned media, which has proudly adopted the title, “”Viceland”, and multitudinous ‘genders’, all of which are presented as good rater than evil, and any opposition to them is, “hate speech.”

The proponents of such evil have no idea what they are bringing down upon our nations, and joyfully parade their duplicity, for the churches mostly remain silent, except in Africa, and those who speak out there are condemned by the West.

God has given us the freedom to choose between good and evil, and has not only made His word available on our phones, but will soon also reach every man and woman with a miraculous voice in our minds, with a last warning that choosing evil will bring evil, suffering and death, and advises us to chose the old ways, and live, Jeremiah 6:16.

Jeremiah 6:15-18,

Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed?No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse,” says the LORD.

16This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look.Ask for the ancient paths: ‘Where is the good way?’ Then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’

17 I appointed watchmen over you and said,‘Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.’ But they answered, ‘We will not listen!’

18 Therefore hear, O nations, and learn, O congregations, what will happen to them.

19 Hear, O earth! I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their own schemes, because they have paid no attention to My word and have rejected My instruction.

The result, Isaiah 24:5-6 . Read it on your phone. It concludes:        “”…..and few men left.”
