The implications of this kind of corruption are serious and (I believe) the consequences for it are imminent. Sobering stuff if you have any background in God's hatred for injustice. I wish I could recall the book and author, but years ago I read a study on just when God's judgement has historically fallen on rebellious nations. He outlined a progression of things in sequence that preceded judgement (and though I can't repeat the arguments and scriptural support any longer ) and if I recall the second to the last offense was when the courts cease to dispense justice and become tools of oppression. The final offense was when nations begin to legislate immorality. Our corrupted court system has been "legislating from the bench" for decades in grievous violation of our Constitution which assigns sole power to legislate to the Congress. The recent abominable legislation to allow abortion of babies at full term is an unequivocal "legislative" act by a legislature with the authority to pass laws. I suspect we're very close to the day the Lord will say "enough" and begin to judge. Sobering stuff. IMO every day that passes now that we don't see the overt hand of the Judge is a day of grace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, thinking of Jeremiah, when God judged Israel his life definitely was affected by the turmoil of war, and eventual captivity. I don't see how we can escape being affected when every aspect of the society we live in is subject to upheaval. But none of that will prevent God from caring for and protecting His own. In fact, I expect those to be kept quite busy harvesting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born again believers will be judged for their faithful works. Sins will not be judged at the Judgement Seat of Christ for believers since that was paid by Christ at the cross. Unbelievers will be judged on everything at the Great White Throne judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be worried. Read the book of Revelation. It is going to happen and maybe not to far in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
