Zechariah 13: An End to Idolatry
Israel’s problems came from the fact that they often wandered from God, literally turning their backs on Him, to worship false gods (demons). While they often continued to observe the sacrificial system, their hearts were not in it. They simply went through the motions of worship to check things off. God saw their hearts, that they were far from Him. Because they had turned their backs on Him, He chose to turn His back (temporarily) on Israel in order to refine and purify those within Israel who were dedicated to Him.
What Can Happen to Society, Pt 1
Though Israel endeavored to follow this judge or that judge’s leadership, as soon as that judge died, the people of Israel reverted back to their former ways and began again to worship foreign gods (v19). It is amazing to me that God continued to put up with that and if not for His unconditional covenant with Israel, He would have completely wiped that nation off the face of the earth. He did not do that though He often destroyed many within Israel because of how they rejected Him continually.
How Things are Going
I’ve said this before and it bears repeating. I knew that the Left would try everything they could to stop Trump from doing what he could to make America great again. I’m not an idiot and neither are you. We know that whatever Trump accomplishes will only be due to God’s allowing him to accomplish it. However, Satan doesn’t give up. He doesn’t need a break, nor does he even stop when he knows he’s losing. He keeps on going, doing whatever he can to throw a monkey wrench into the works.
Too Much Evil to Fix
By the time the coming Tribulation begins, I’m guessing that much of the human population on earth will be either demonized outwardly or fully possessed. Demons seem to be coming out of the woodwork in preparation for what is coming to this earth. However, during the Tribulation, they actually do come out of the woodwork in several of the judgments God pours out on the earth.
Too Preposterous to Be True?
Understanding what Satan is attempting to accomplish and will be allowed to accomplish through those sold out to him, sets us free from the worry that fear can create. We are not meant to live forever in this life. The fact that God physically expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden so that they could not eat of the tree of life after sinning proves that He doesn’t want us to live eternally in this life, in our sin. We will all pass from this life to the next and as Christians will be given immortal bodies forever free from sin. It will be then that we will live forever as He originally intended.
Keeping Perspective
If you add to this the number of times Trump has already said he thinks he can have a third term as President under some past obscure act and it’s easy to see how things might fall in place. Things like this tend to keep people distracted and on edge. Those who love Trump beyond measure would love a third term, while those who hate him, don’t even want this current term. At some point, it seems best for me to just let things like this go so that it does not become all-consuming.
Nadab’s Strange Fire
For Christians today, we are all fully under the blood of Jesus. Without it, we have zero protection from God’s wrath. With it, we are fully protected from it. However, the same temptation exists today for all Christians that existed for Nadab and Abihu. That is, the tendency to take God for granted or to allow our arrogance to move us away from how God expects us to live in this life.
It is a constant battle for the Christian, isn’t it? Thank God He does not deal with us as He dealt with the Israelites under the Law!
God Didn’t Whisper
Having said all that, it is important to also state that sin is sin. God hates all of it. Yet, He seems to have noted in Scripture that certain sins create more of a problem and fallout and are the result of the way a person thinks and designs their life. This thinking stems from a position of atheism that allows and encourages people to live as they wish. They in essence become a law unto themselves and encourage others to do the same. Too many within the visible Church today are trying to embrace people who really have no intention of seeing a need to submit to God allowing Him to change their behavior.

Tragedy of Hating Jews and Israel
I do not consider myself a diehard “Zionist.” However, I fully support what God is doing and will accomplish in the nation of Israel by taking a final remnant from that nation who will remain alive to the end of the Tribulation and be rewarded by being allowed to go into the Millennial Kingdom. Many Gentiles will also go into that same kingdom. There, that Jewish final remnant will finally understand what all the Abrahamic promises were all about. I also fully support what God is going to accomplish in many other nations throughout the world that will enter the Millennial Kingdom.
Toxic Empathy
Because of the common sense changes Trump wants to bring to America, I have arrived to the point where I simply don’t care if my hat, my shirt, my actions or my words offends anyone on the Left. It’s really time for Christians to take a stand.
If you stop to consider it, the phrase toxic empathy is actually very accurate. It is what the Left has used to silence Christians and conservatives. Their “empathy” is truly toxic because it violates God’s laws and works against the natural order.
We need to call that out and be willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of the Left’s accusations or attempts to bully us.
