“Do not remove the ancient landmark, Nor enter the fields of the fatherless; For their Redeemer is mighty; He will plead their cause against you.” (Proverbs 23:10-11 NKJV)
Harshest ramifications are for people, who move markers and steals orphans' domain of living, from the Omnipotent God Jehovah. It is what this passage warns. Our Heavenly Father's heart is for the fatherless. A greedy and wicked fool who takes advantage of the helpless should know that all power of heaven is pledged for their cause.
Using the metaphor of physical boundaries and ancient landmarks that must not be messed up with, God is reminding again of His moral and spiritual boundaries that should not be moved, lest one pays a heavy price. Moving such boundaries bring curse to a person, or to a nation to degeneration and discord. Like when our nation moved God's boundaries, horrible price is to be paid. In the 1960s our nation moved markers of prayers and honor for God’s Words away from schools and public offices. In the 1970s the nation's ungodly politicians moved another ancient landmark and declared open season for the murder of the innocents and the unborn. And, to date, those ungodly politicians still continue moving markers after markers of God about immorality, family, marriage and sexuality - even attempting to totally evict God from our way of life as a nation. Some are openly rebelling against God’s creative order.
The God of those markers is ALL POWERFUL - and for every boundary pushed away there will be a costly price. Are we willing to continue to pay it? Our nation is waning and sliding on a downward spiral. As children of God in Christ Jesus by faith, the time is now to take a stand and plant our heels on solid rock of God's holy and written Words. We must vote prayerfully for people that honors God by faith in Jesus. Not the politically correct, nor the religiously pious. We have to vote using the filter of the holy and written Words of the true God who sends His only begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
We must, therefore, return to the confines of God's markers and pray. Protect the fatherless and the motherless. And, yes the unborn! Let's restore the ancient landmarks - lest, it'd be too late. Restoration and revival is now! The Lord promised: “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
