Ecclesiastic 5:8-9

 

The Vanity of Wealth and Honor

If you see in a province the oppression of the poor and the violation of justice and righteousness, do not be amazed at the matter, for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.  But this is gain for a land in every way: a king committed to cultivated fields. 

On December 15, 1791, the Congress of  The United States of America added amendments to the Constitution, they are titled the “Bill of Rights.  There were 10 amendments, at that time, and today I’m only addressing the 1st and 2nd amendment.

Amendment I “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of  religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The Constitution and those 10 Bill of Rights have been the foundation of our Nation that has been used by God to bless many Nations and defeat evil governments, such as Germany under Adolf Hitler, and set free the nations grabbed by Soviet Russia after WWII.

Solomon hit the nail on the head in his assessment of government, and that is why we have the Second Amendment.  “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

In 2020, we have seen the mayors, governors and some in Congress both state and federal want to do and doing in regard to the freedom to Worship as Solomon has stated.  Nowhere in our Constitution does it give any government leader the right to stop worship in public or private homes for any reason, yet those haters of good and God, have done so.

Now we have a political party that has stated they will ignore the Second Amendment and take away our rights to own guns, just like Hitler and Russia and other governments have done.

But we have weapons that are more powerful than guns, they are offensive weapons, and they are the Word of God, and Prayer, it is time to choose whom you will serve Government or God?
