I couldn’t sleep.
2am. Wed. Oct 13, 2021
I am so sleepy. I am not resting well. What is it? I toss I turn. Is it the darn brace. Ugh let me get up.
I keep restarting ZECHARIAH which is what I am listening to or trying to because I keep nodding off trying to sleep.
…and that’s when it hits me “wait! What?!
“The Lord was very angry with your ancestors.Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty.Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the Lord.Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live forever?But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your ancestors?” Then they repented and said, ‘The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.’” – Zechariah 1:2-6
Our FATHER did not and does not want to have to discipline us like this so he warns us beforehand.
We are just so darn hardheaded, stiffnecked, stubborn, and rebellious that we won’t listen.
So He disciplines His people.
He commands discipline to go forth. He uses the nation’s to discipline his people.
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. – Romans 13:1-5
But wait…
What is this that is happening?
JUSTICE is again showing up as INJUSTICE. JUSTICE is taking things a bit too far. JUSTICE is overstepping its boundaries. JUSTICE is misrepresenting HIM who put them in their positions of authority.
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. – Romans 13:1
These reports have reached into the highest of heavens.
Here is a snippet of the latest quoted from a BBC news outlet:
“To pull this man out of the car, by his hair – a paraplegic – is totally unacceptable, inhumane and sets a bad light on our great city of Dayton, Ohio,” Derrick Foward, of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told the Washington Post.
A paraplegic person is unable to voluntarily move lower parts of the body. End QuoteInjustice is a misrepresentation of GOD. Injustice will not continue unpunished itself. The principle is still the same – “the judgment with which you judged, you will be judged by.” Matthew 7:2
Why do we take a mile when given an inch.? Why are we so extra at times? Why do we go overboard? Why do we exacerbate matters? Why can’t we just do what we are told?
Justice as a representative of Our Heavenly Father had one job to do. Keep the order.
Yet, what falls them is the same issue that falls the priesthood – the other representatives of our Heavenly Father.
MISHANDLED: Power. Dominion. Authority.
Then the angel of the Lord said, “ Lord Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?”So the Lord spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.Then the angel who was speaking to me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion,and I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they went too far with the punishment.’ – Zechariah 1:12-15
“But they went too far with the punishment…”
It is not okay. None of this is okay. Our Father is going to deal with it.
Father is going to deal with INJUSTICE
Nevertheless, still, Jerusalem, we cannot downplay the fact that none of this would have been an issue had we, the people of God, obeyed our Heavenly Father to begin with.
And even after our Heavenly Father gets thru dealing with the unJUSTness of JUSTICE,
and HE turns HIS attention back to us,
we need to not downplay the fact that it is our own disobedience and rebelliousness that will put us back in this situation.
If we want it to stop, then we must stop.
So at 2am, this is what I was awakened with. I was jarred awake. Uncomfortable. Shoulder hurting; though I took a pain pill.
I tossed I turned. I looked at the time. I tried to go back to sleep but the agitation wouldn’t let me. I didn’t want to get up, but I was made to.
I backed up Zechariah, rewinding it several times until I heard it.
Father didn’t want to discipline, but he had to. He had no choice because we. his children, were and are way out of control.
But in reference to those who took advantage of the authority given to them so that they were unnecessarily harsh, mean, cruel in their assignments to administer discipline…
The prophet Isaiah has a word for you O INJUSTICE (aka Assyria)
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?” – Isaiah 10:1-3
Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath! (Confirmation that Assyria represents the justice department. See Romans 13:1-5) I send him against a godless nation, I dispatch him against a people who anger me, to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets. But this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations. – Isaiah 10: 5-7
When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes. Isaiah 10:12
Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it, or the saw boast against the one who uses it? As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up, or a club brandish the one who is not wood! Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors; under his pomp a fire will be kindled like a blazing flame. – Isaiah 10:15-16
I advise those who are connected to the justice department to act in accordance with 2 Chronicles 7:14
Humble yourself (as a child before a Father), Pray ( talk to our Heavenly Father about things repenting of the wrongs done in the line of duty) Seek God’s face (fast before the Lord, not letting the matter go until you receive a blessing – like Jacob who grappled all night with the angel, not letting go until he got a blessing), and then, turn around (do what Father tells you to do).
QUICKLY, because God’s judgment to Assyria has been spoken.
A wasting disease is being sent to INJUSTICE. (See Isaiah 10:16)Mostly it is found in animals like deer. But if a human eat an infected animal, unknowingly, it can then infect a human.
WAIT! Isn’t this what is said to have happened with the start of the “plague” that went worldwide?
Wasn’t it said that, at ground zero, the issue was the consumption of infected animals.
Confirmation yet again … That the sins of the priests AND of the leaders bring plagues among the people.
When will we listen?
When will we pay attention?
When will we get enough of ignoring, disobeying, rebelling against our Heavenly Father?
I’ve had enough of this. 🙇
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thine NAME…🙏
