It Is All A Charade

The following post is one year old:

          It wasn't signed on July 4th, 1776 as most may have presumed. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on that day but actually signed a month or so later. It's assumed that John Hancock was the first signature on the document, our Declaration of Independence, so one might argue that Hancock's signature began the United States of America. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's signature on the decision designating same-sex marriage a "fundamental right" ended that great American Experiment almost 239 years later, for everything is a charade from now on.
         President Reagan nominated Robert Bork, who may have had the greatest legal mind in the nation, to the Supreme Court in 1987, but his nominee was 'Borked' as the word came to be known by Edward Kennedy in his speech on the Senate floor..."Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizen's doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens." Robert Bork was rejected and two nominees later Anthony Kennedy's nomination was approved. Society did eventually totally collapse, only ironically it was under Edward Kennedy's tutelage and with Anthony Kennedy's signature!
         This decision announced today federalizes the war on Christianity, it officially rejects Jesus Christ and annuls the relationship of benefactee and benefactor, and takes aim at the children in this once great country, for they will be brutalized by the educational system on this.
         The silver lining is that surely the Second Coming of Jesus Christ must be near. We have been in chaos for many years now but that mere chaos has devolved into orgiastic mayhem. No sane observer can be anything but shaken by the amount of violence in so many places in the world at one time. In all of Scripture only the Prophet Jeremiah weeps as violently as we should be weeping today, although Daniel's vision of the "latter time" did have this chilling effect on him..."And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for several days." 
        The angel Gabriel had just expounded on that vision with..."And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise. His power shall be great-but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall become great. Without warning he shall destroy many. And he shall even rise up against the Prince of Princes, and he shall be broken-but by no human hand. (Daniel chapter 8, ESV)
           We have all, in one way or another, brought this catastrophe upon ourselves. The fact that many today see clearly what is happening does not absolve us. I volunteered for the man who was later to attempt to destroy the reputation of Robert Bork. I spent decades in a narcissistic stupor and even my efforts of late fall grossly short of what would be expected from someone who has come to see the glory and majesty, though dimly, of the risen Jesus Christ.
           We as a nation have taken our rebellion against God to a new low. We sold our birthright for a mess of pottage. And we shall reap the whirlwind that we have sown.
