Blind Leaders of the Blind

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (Jn 3:3).

"He cannot see" sounds like blindness. Even if it's not a type of blindness, it still seems to imply that a man can search and search and look and look and hunt and hunt til the cows come home, and he still cannot, will not, be able to find what he's looking for when it comes to the Kingdom of God. If he's not blind, he might as well be because unless he's born again, "he cannot see the kingdom of God." This is the essence of spiritual blindness; that is, the things that matter for eternity are simply not visible to the naked eye of an unregenerate (un-born-again) man.

Who made it this way? The God of Isaiah...the God of Isaiah 45:7...the God who controls all things, even whether or not a man can see or not see the Kingdom of God. (See my Isaiah 45:7 blog)

The one who's "born again" can see the Kingdom of God and a whole lot more. Much like the "children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times..." born again believers can often discern the bigger picture, the larger vision, the effect on the times. Could it be possible, that just maybe, this is the reason why so many fail to see the real nature of the so-called "War on Terror"?

Terror, per se, is a tactic. Slash and burn is a tactic. Blitzkrieg is a tactic, it was a highly mobile form of mechanized warfare used by the Germans in WWII. Terror has been used by leaders to maintain control. It's now being used to harass and weaken the victims of terror.

The question is "Who is using TERROR tactics?" Answer: "terrorists" No way! Wrong answer or at least an incomplete answer. Terrorists are people. What kind of people? Who are they? If we had some "children of Issachar" living among us today, would they not answer: Muslims.

Maybe the leaders of the U.S.A., Great Britain, France, Germany, Holland, and several others just simply are blind to the fact that Muslims are conducting assaults in a joint effort worldwide to over throw the West. Could it be that they refuse to see the assault on the Kingdom of God by the Muslim infidels? And most likely it is their own personal blindness to the truth of the Gospel because they are not born again and therefore cannot see these things in the true spiritual perspective. They do not understand, they do not know, they do not believe that they have been given a charge from God to wield His sword for righteousness' sake (Romans 13). They are to serve and protect the people and the land according to God's Word.

Right about now you fear I am advocating a "Theocracy." You fear I want the Church to rule the State. No, that's not what I want. I want the State to do it's God ordained job and rule according to righteousness. The Church is not responsible to run the State; God did not ordain that to be so. God ordained a State with magistrates who are to run the civil government of the nation. Our own government has a law that was drawn up by men who "understood the times." Our U.S. Constitution is a model of what responsible Government leaders can and should do when governing according to principles they have learned by studying God's Word.

Until our socialist leaders in Washington D.C. bow the knee to the King of kings, we will continue to be plagued with more and more threats of Islamo-facist terror attacks. Until our socialist leaders understand that there is a bigger spiritual picture they cannot see without first being born again, we will continue to slide toward Sodom and Gomorrha.
