Beautiful hymn. 

Yes. I love that one also. It's the chorus of He Is Lord.

Today, we see people bowing the knee to all sorts of things such as protests against police. 

No, they're not doing that at all. They are merely protesting. Some senselessly, however.

It is worship. 

I personally don't see it as worship. Where are you getting this idea? Are protesters being beaten to their knees like during the years when people protested against the Vietnam War? That's not happening yet. Are you expecting it? I suppose it could occur if people take up arms. They may escalate to this, so let's start praying that doesn't happen. How about? Will you join me in prayer?

They felt it was cool and required to have status.

Well, I don't think so. dad2, why do you feel this way?

I guess they used to bow down before idols and false gods in ancient history.

Yes, of course they did. We know this from God's word and also from written historical accounts.

Soon they will worship a wicked man, I guess this is warm up exercises.

Yes, they will worship the Beast. We're all well aware of this. 

Okay. Walking away now...

Sure. I wholeheartedly agree with you about that. Here's some references concerning this.

what? 

No. 

Well, there are many Christians who don't seem to know the bible and also seem willing to bend over backwards to please man. So I am not sure that no Christians might have bent the knee.

Well, I'm positive about the "moral majority" who hide behind behind a guise of Christianity and compromise with just about every issue out there. That seems to be their thing. They don't speak for me, nor am I in favor of protesting this horribly unfortunate incident. I'm not favoring unnecessary authoritative violence either. No two wrongs make a right. Anarchy is negative in my book, as is the idea of becoming a governmentally controlled police state.

Right most or at least may Christians are aware of this. Some are not and seem to think Rev is history. I do not recall people going face down prostrate or bowing in public to various causes when I grew up. So yes it is notable and seems to be a big step toward open worship of things other than God.

Right. We do need officers that bear arms to keep law and order. In a situation where a country is almost going back to the jungle, perhaps even more peace keepers are needed. (and not just tho lay face down bowing before rioters either)

 Good idea. One prayer is 'Thy will be done" At this stage of decay in society it may be the will of God to have increased judgments to bring a nation(s) down. So I would be hesitant to pray that He just stop the back to the jungle  looting and riots.

 I would suggest some sort of movement to have believers go in crowds to various places and bow the knee to God publicly! Maybe in front of a police station to thank God for protection from the wicked or...etc.

I was pretty shocked at seeing a picture from Anton LaVey's First Church of Satan. There was a group inside assuming this same position before a symbolic goat head. It was really bad. Baal worship of ancient times was probably similar. Sacrificial deaths would be in the same. But very little surprises me anymore. I'm not planning on being around for the antichrist's rulership. And why is this? Because I'm only visiting this planet.

There must a form of law enforcement. If not utter chaos will surely be the result. Reasonable common decency can't be expected in this day and age. Not even back in the days of the "wild west" did this exist.

Yeah. A dismal thought. I'm sure this is the eventual expectancy for the world as a whole. Hopefully, I won't be around to experience this. No guarantee on that, but hoping still the same.
