This post has been inspired by a couple of people that were a bit surprised on my recent posts concerning global government. They were surprised that God would be against the idea of the world coming together and trying to form a peaceful one world reunion. This was in regards to my comments that God was against the Tower of Babel and is clearly against the end time global government movement.
Are you saying that God is against peace and is a war monger Patrick?
There are a few important things we need to establish right away to understand the above paragraph.
What is important to God? Let’s start with the first three of the Ten Commandments.
Exodus 20:3-7
3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
The first three commandments are concerned with God’s people towards God. We are not to have any other God’s before Him. We’re not to have any form of Idol worship. We are not to misuse his name or take it in vain.
Let’s concentrate a little on something in the second commandment there in verse 5.
… I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…..
What does that verse say to you? I can tell you what it speaks to me.
God didn’t go to the trouble of creating a universe, creating the earth, creating man, just to ignore it all. God didn’t create man to worship himself, trees, rocks, the sun, moon, stars, golden calves or Satan for that matter.
Before we address the top paragraph let’s also address a little more scripture that supports these scriptures we went over today. That’s right; we’ll read on that tomorrow.
