Isaiah 5:7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
Again, you can certainly apply this to what happened to Israel in 70 AD but the church is the Israel of God. jesus Christ is the vine tree and we are His branches. He looked for judgment and righteousness from the church but instead there is a cry. Where was the judgement and righteousness during the Mortgage meltdown? The banks were criminall and should have been prosecuted. Where were the pastors as good shepherds defending the flock from the wolves? Likewise with the Pandemic. It was unconstitutional to shut down the churches but keep the big box stores open. Why didn't the Pastors stand up? Then during the vaccine mandate they fired many people based on an illegal mandate that violated the law. Where were the Pastors, the shepherds of the flock, to defend the flock?
The church has many bankers and stock brokers who know the law and could have helped these pastors with the law during 2008 and there are many doctors and lawyers who could have helped them during the vaccine mandate.
We can't change the past, but we can learn from it. They prepped everyone with movies about a pandemic. Pastors didn't talk about these apocalyptic scenes from the pulpit, but they should have. Everyone in the church should have been advised. For example, explain how good your immune system is and how you can strengthen it by eating right, sleeping right and exercise. Explain how to use Quercetin and Zinc, and how to use HCQ and Ivermectin. Explain how these viruses are weakened and killed outside in the sun, thus encouraging people to spend time in the sun. Explain that being exposed to a weakened or deadened form of a virus will inoculate you and so outside rallies are not super spreader events but rather super inoculator events. Also explain how a virus will naturally evolve to become less lethal if we take proper precautions. Washing hands is good but the best precaution is to not go into work or public when you are sick. The single best way to put a stop to an epidemic is to take your temperature at the door of your office or public places.
There are many ways you can share this information with the flock, it could be part of Sunday school for children. There are verses where Paul advises Timothy on how to take care of his health and it could be shared then. When Jesus says "Man does not live on bread alone" you could share this. Without the proper knowledge it is not possible to get the proper judgment. The reason the people were oppressed was because they did not have the proper knowledge.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
This is corporate America. Corporations have bought up all the farms. Look at all these people housed in giant apartment buildings. These giant housing developments concentrate poverty. They may say they were poorly designed or thought out, but I doubt it. I suspect it was the plan. If you study public school you can see a long list of mistakes until it doesn't possibly seem plausible to be by mistake. At the turn of the century in the 1900s the US had the best public school in the world and it was turning us into a superpower. We used readers based on Bible stories, kids loved them and they loved to learn to read. But then they got rid of them and introduced insipid readers like the Dick and Jane books. As a result kids hated to learn how to read and so hated reading. That was the beginning of a downward trajectory that took us from the best school system to the worst. Because kids didn't read they were easy to manipulate and lacked critical thinking. Around the world in many societies everyone understands that you need boys schools and girls schools by the time you get to 8th grade. They also know you need uniforms so that everyone knows who the school children are. The public school did away with both and the result was predictable, single mothers, abortion, domestic abuse, and people dropping out of school because of these pregnancies. It is a verifiable fact that when boys and girls are promiscuous before getting married that the marriages are less likely to survive. So even if they don't have kids out of wedlock the rate of divorce and adultery goes up. How is it that everyone on earth knows this except for Americans? The single biggest group of poor are single parent mothers. When people are poor they are much easier to manipulate with programs like Welfare which actually encouraged promiscuity. These poor are the modern day slaves and they have two functions, vote for the slave masters who are pushing welfare programs to keep them enslaved, and second to become a drain on the middle class. The middle class is the backbone of democracy, if you weaken them you weaken democracy. If it weren't for public school 80% of this country would be middle class, but now it is closer to 40% are in poverty, 50% are middle class and 10% are rich. Then we learn that the CIA raised money for illegal operations by importing and distributing drugs like Cocaine. Those giant housing complexes became the ideal place to distribute drugs from to the inner city.
You can assume that people in government are there to solve problems and make things better and without a doubt that is why some do get involved with government. But once you are there you learn you can't do anything without a majority and you will never have a majority if you are not reelected and so the people donating money to your campaign become puppeteers pulling the strings and the politicians are simply puppets. Who donates money to these campaigns, a presidential campaign will now run over $1 billion for the two candidates. You may think your $5 makes a difference, but the reality is no one raises a billion dollars by people giving $5 each. They want you to give $5 because it represents votes. The people who donate a million get access, the big donors are not generous, they are the ones pulling the strings. If they give $1 million to a campaign you can be sure they expect to get $10 million back in government contracts. The Godfather was powerful because he had the judges in his pocket, how do you think he got them?
Only the rich have the time and the means to do this. Think of the country club set with all those fund raiser dinners with absurd entrance fee to simply hear the speech. Working class, middle class and poor cannot even dream of going to one of those. If you are not in the top 10% you will not even consider going to one of those dinners. That is exactly how the elite want it.
9 In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
This is righteous judgment, as you have done it will be done to you, with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.
