I was reading Maccabees last night and while I was reading this scripture I saw so many parallels in life today. I know it is happening here in the US, I wondered if many of you in other countries are seeing the same.
Here is the scripture and then I speak to it.
1 Maccabees1:44 The king sent messingers with letters to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, ordering them to follow custom foriegn to their land: 45 to prohibit holocosts, sacrifices, and libations in the sanctuary, profane the sabbaths and feast days, 46 to desicrate the santuary and sacred ministers, 47 to build pagen and alters and shrines, to sacrifice swine and unclean animals, 48 to leave their sons uncercumsised, and to let them selves be defiled with every impurity and abomination,
49 so that they might forget the law and change all their observances.
Over the last few decades I have watched the powers that be work to remove every referance to God, every right of believers, every evidence of our heritage of faith in God, every monument dedicaded, every thing that would remind all of what those and we of today and yesterday, hold dear in Jesus.
Even going so far as to remove the flag from as many places as possible, removing the cherished places in the name of advancement or renewal.
Claiming new acts as good when in soul you know it as wrong.
This scripture showed the perpose of such acts, it seemed so true today.
Do you see this happening as well, should we take warning of such acts?
I do not want to cause fear with this , simply wisdom, so that we will not let ourselves forget.
What do you think?
God bless, pickles
