No generation goes bad overnight, and corruption always starts from the top of the food chain and works its way down, so that’s why God has said over and over again we’re here to learn from others when we’re young. But too many at least as old as I am are willing to blame an obscure relative as young as two years old or even their twin brother or sister just for existing! Moses doesn’t blame the younger generation here, and he says in chapter 24 that no one needs to die or suffer for their parents’ or children’s sins (verse 16). But even then, forgiveness is never offered, even in trivial matters. This chapter is found in pages 103-104 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 132-133 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 207-209 of my VOICE copy, and pages 211-213 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I realise I sound like a broken record at this point, but it’s not fair that the U.S. was willing to do the right thing and soon renounced righteousness for the sake of getting more and more people here rich and secure in matters they didn’t deserve safety in… I guess loving one’s neighbour is too much to ask of the people here, even with Jesus’ help and God’s grace available to make it happen… so, He’s decided to leave them behind. And when the chief opponents of the Lord Jesus who claim to worship Him pass away, it’ll actually be a beacon of hope for some of us, but they’ve already made it so that the world’s in a permanent decline and no one can reverse its destruction. The good news is, though, good times are still possible, but they may not be that frequent. Besides, division and discord aren’t what Jesus had in mind. And believe it or not, Moses didn’t want division in the people’s lives, either, but he didn’t follow God very faithfully — he needed to remember that he wasn’t the only one who was righteous. I don’t know why he said God was angry with him in verse 37… but I don’t want anyone harping on this. That’s not what He had planned. But since God never enjoyed being angry in the Old Testament days, we can still say His goodness exists… yet the people who falsely worship Him here love anger and hating everyone else that doesn’t think like them, look like them, walk like them, talk like them, or act like them. I can’t go to a church in this country as a result due to this — I’d rather not even be alive if the Lord wills and if He wants me to see Him, and I don’t want to be around the falsehood-lovers of other countries, either. Even North Korea doesn’t have that many per capita, I think… at least the Body of Christ is more authentic there. Yet it’s an awful place to be where Kim Jong-Un’s grip on the people is only getting tighter and tighter as the years go by. But they can’t hide the truth forever — one guy from 60 Minutes Australia reported this. And I’m from Arizona, and I can see that YouTube video 📹 and share it here.
Moses’ words that he spoke by the Jordan River (verse 1), about ten months after Miriam had died (Numbers 20:1), I don’t really need to repeat here, for I’ve already spent the last few notes (including this one) doing that. But it was the best they could come up with in those days, and so was the U.S. breaking up with Britain 🇬🇧 250 years ago last month. But from the beginning, freedom of concept was always legal in the kingdom of God, just as Jesus had said that from the beginning, divorce wasn’t a thing (Matthew 19:8). It may have been hard to remember for a long time, but the U.S. basically reintroduced it to the world. However, many people have been like Uzziah in 2 Chronicles 26 and became false to God in their strength. Pride always comes before destruction (Proverbs 16:18), and I don’t want anymore unnecessary hardship because someone is willing to claim that people with autism can’t have a good ending in life! And the scary thing is, no one usually notices the power trip these proud men have immediately. I guess that’s why discrimination should be illegal in every case. I don’t have anything against freedom of speech. I find it weird enough most nations (including this one) can legally deny the Holocaust. But empowering shepherds of this generation to become traffickers? All I can really do is shake my head, shrug my shoulders, and oh, my God, they’re trying to legalise sexual abuse against children, too?! Nah, I’m out. Don’t want me in the U.S.? Don’t worry, if I can manage it, I’m never showing up in this nation again! For real, though, the countryside where the forests in high elevation are — those places I’ve always loved, and I want to see them again, but this is the darkest era in the nation’s history, and my body can’t handle it. And with mid-term elections being exalted here so that MAGA buttholes will have a guaranteed win in just a few months, this may be just the tip of the iceberg.
I hope I can return for chapter 2, and I pray I can be at peace when I work tomorrow. It’ll be three days in a row, then I’m off again, and the pattern repeats itself for the rest of the week, so I don’t know how far I’ll go by the end of the 22nd. Regardless, I hope you can be encouraged by the Lord Jesus (save for what I wrote on here haha).
In Christ,
