When God says...
“An evil man seeks only rebellion; Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.” (Proverbs 17:11 NKJV)
This sounds like describing today's rebellious generation. Where, many men and women are seeking every occasion to rebel against God. With their evil intentions they pick just any kind of quarrel they find. They evict God and His holy and written Words out of our seat of governance and halls of justice and learning. They oppose prayers by our public officials and in our public venues and festivities. Claiming they are atheists, yet they can't even articulate what they stand for. Just to show their contempt against God, they promote government mandates to kill babies and destroy the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. They shove on the face of God's children legal recognition of same sex relation and brainwash children with evil notion to choose whatever gender they want.
This is God's warning shot! Scripture says their day will come when God sends "a cruel messenger", as He did to the Egyptians when Pharaoh stubbornly rebelled against the Great I Am. The psalmist recalls, as it is written: "He loosed on them his fierce anger— all his fury, rage, and hostility. He dispatched against them a band of destroying angels. He turned his anger against them; he did not spare the Egyptians’ lives but ravaged them with the plague. He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family, the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.” (Psalms 78:49-51 NLT)
But, thanks be to our loving God, He is full of mercy. Sinners can turn around, seek God and humble at the foot of the cross of Jesus, before time runs out. God is calling them and everyone! He forgives, as scriptures declare: "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.” (Micah 7:18 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
