A RING TO BIND THEM TO THEIR MASTER'S WILL

This is ridiculous - and even oppressive. Bosses at big companies like Qantas and Google have "suggested" their employees wear black rings with a gap to show they support same-sex marriage. Or show that they have a future at their company, perhaps, because it's not quite clear how this push for "tolerance" quite works now.

Cut&Paste nails it:

Gay marriage supporters unleash the power of the Ring! The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien, July 29, 1954:

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

OK, OK, not that ring. The Australian, yesterday:

Some of the country’s biggest businesses have upped the ante in the crusade for marriage equality by asking Australians to wear a specially designed “acceptance ring” until same-sex marriage is legalised.

Accommodation provider Airbnb has released a corny YouTube video to promote the rings. Airbnb ad, yesterday:

This incomplete ring symbolises the gap in marriage equality we need to close. Until we all belong

And everyone working at the supporting businesses gets their very own acceptance ring. The Australian, yesterday:

Qantas staff and crew would wear them … while Google Australia has also provided rings for its 1300 staff to wear.

Wear it and show you are a slave.

If I were in an employee I would announce my resignation Pronto

But that is what the Bible tells us. We are living in the end times and it is only going to get worse.

"Constantly be angry with righteous indignation, but do not let the sun go down on your anger". (don't let righteous indignation that GOD requires turn into an action or a thought that is sinful.)

 

The news in the op is nothing compared to what is happening (and has been happening) behind the scenes. 

DO NOT get used to it. (never compromise).

But find out from GOD - what to do, and how, and when.......

like JESUS says - pray for strength and wisdom to endure (most people won't pray, and most will not endure(be saved) ) .....

Don't be sad. During the seven year tribulation God's wrath will be poured out and justice will be done. Believe me I would not want to be a part of God's wrath

I know what's in store but I  just feel sad that we humans (in general) just couldn't get it together as a collective species.

Its just a mess with a lot more to come - complete mayhem.

The book of Lamentation is one of the most depressing books in the bible. There is beauty and hope in it but what Jeremiah was going through was despair, sadness and bitterness in the belly. Ezekiel, Jeremiah were asked to eat the scroll and John in Revelation was asked to eat the book and it was sweet in the mouth but bitter in the belly. Understanding prophecy is always sweet but when we truly assimilate the reality and depth of the prophetic truth there will be a disturbance in our core.

An enemy being crushed under foot like mire in the street may have some appeal but not all who will be lost on that day of darkness will not be loved by you or I. Our glorious hope is the appearing of our Lord but it will be the worst nightmare for others. "Work while it is the day, night comes when no man can work." Jesus

Peter put it well when he compared the world being destroyed by a flood to the coming destruction of this age by fire. There is a time for everything under the sun and sadness has its time. Sometimes it's a healthy thing.

And I'm one of those sick people who has always laughed with Don Rickals.
