As in the days of Noah the mocking of God and His people will not stop until judgment falls. The God deniers of today believe the fossils prove the theory of evolution. They are ‘willingly ignorant’ of the plain truth that the fossil record is testimony in stone of the mass destruction of contemporary life forms. In favor of Mr. Darwin, they reject the testimony of Jesus Christ. ‘As it was in the days of Noah so it shall be at the coming of the Son of Man’ [Luke 17:26]. Let the mockers have there day of mocking for ‘whoever believes in Jesus will not be put to shame’ [II Peter 3; Romans 9:33].
In Deuteronomy 28 the principles of blessing and cursing related to the adherence to God’s Law are given to the nation of Israel. Do this and live and prosper. Disobey and fall under calamity and judgment. Why did Israel turn away from God? Israel became an apostate nation because of unbelief; they did not heed the warnings of impending judgment.
We realize that the West is not Old Testament Israel, but are there not spiritual principles to be gleaned from God’s dealings with them that apply to all nations? In the following sense the answer is yes…the nature of man does not change as a function of generation nor of national origin and the moral Law of God is constant, because He is immutable. The principles of human conduct and divine moral government are always operative.
Consider just a couple of symptoms that fall under the category of judgment leading to the destruction of nations…
‘The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail’ [Deuteronomy 28:43-44].
The increase in national debt and loss of national identity should grab our attention.
