Psalm 12 -- Unbelievers Fragility

[ZNP]

1 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. Let us go back several hundred years to the religious system in the South that justified racial slavery. They rationalized a hierarchy in society based on race. Then right up to the civil rights era this was justified with bogus science and claims of genetic superiority. Where were the faithful men of God, speaking God’s word when the Bible was twisted to make these arguments? 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. In this context of historical racism and systematic racism in the US which we have worked to eliminate since the 1960s we now have these vain speakings. The “woke” left, also known as the cancel culture. It is a badge of honor to be considered “woke” and they fight with each other for this badge. When Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by the police in Kenosha the entire Milwaukee team decided to boycott a playoff game causing all the NBA teams to boycott lest they not be seen as “woke”. But they speak with a double heart. The NBA panders to China where you have the most abhorrent systemic racism today. In contrast Jacob Blake had a warrant for his arrest, was violating a court order to stay away from a girl friend that had accused him of rape, was resisting arrest, and was trying to either get a knife or drive away with her three kids.

 

[ZNP]

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?

This is the cancel culture and it is the Lord’s judgement. They comb through posts and tweets and old clips. Anyone who has said anything in the past they don’t like they mobilize to “cancel” this person. Usually besiege their place of work for them to get fired and to boycott anything to do with that person.

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.

This is a prophecy. When we see this mob-like behavior both from the NBA speaking vanity with flattering words and double hearts, and also with the cancel culture behaving like a mob with torches and pitchforks then the Lord will arise. “I will set him in safety” is considered a reference to the rapture.

6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

If you want to stand for righteousness, and I suspect many in the NBA and many in the cancel culture do, then you need the words of the Lord. Otherwise you will be judged with the words with which you judge others and you will see yourself as the very thing you hate and condemn.

7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Once again, let’s go back to our history because hindsight is 20/20. During the Antebellum South the vilest men were exalted and the wicked walked on every side. They built their ideologies and hierarchies not on the words of the Lord but on an evil construct. The same thing happened in the Russian revolution and in China in the cultural revolution. The Czar reaped what he had sowed, and the Chinese elite also reaped what they had sown. Books like “White Fragility” use the same logic as the Cultural Revolution where the elites need to be reprogrammed. What do you think happens in the US and the rest of the Earth when the Lord raptures those that have trusted in Him? You will be left with the hypocrites and their vain, flattering words and those with the proud arrogant lips of a mob with torches and pitchforks.
