Wow, Jocko. That was powerful. And true. It reminded me of the book of Esther, specifically Chapter 4. But that whole book is almost a mirror image of what we are facing at the moment. It's got it all; oppression by the powerful, bribery, scheming, a plot to commit genocide against a whole race of people... would make good reading for now and encouragement to pray and fast. Your words echoed the words of Mordecai in this passage.
""12 Esthers words were reported to Mordecai. 13 Then he sent back an answer. He said, You live in the kings palace. But dont think that just because you are there you will be the only Jew who will escape. 14 What if you dont say anything at this time? Then help for the Jews will come from another place. But you and your family will die. Who knows? Its possible that you became queen for a time just like this. 15 Then Esther sent a reply to Mordecai. She said, 16 Go. Gather together all the Jews who are in Susa. And fast for my benefit. Dont eat or drink anything for three days. Dont do it night or day. I and my attendants will fast just as you do. Then Ill go to the king. Ill do it even though its against the law. And if I have to die, Ill die."
Esther was afraid that if she went to the king and spoke on behalf of the people and asked him to stop the wicked plot of Haman, she would be put to death. It's the same thing we all face - fear of man - what will they do to me, what will they say about me? In Tucker's case, it's a job, will he lose his slot at Fox? He knows what they can do - manufacture some scandal - threaten his children, his family. We need to pray for him.
WHERE IS THE LORD GOD OF ELIJAH AND THOSE ON HIS SIDE????
The time for lazing around muching popcorn while the Republic, families, our way of life, innocents are shredded and thrown to the fires of Molach is long past, if it ever existed.
Even fire & brimstone pastors {are any of those left?} are serving up Pablum these days. Mark Taylor is right--no one wants to risk their tax exemption so they soft peddle truth and still pretend it is God's whole truth. Are they in for a surprise!
Thanks for your Scriptures and kind words. I think you are quite perceptive and spot on.
Anyone got any

After suitable trial
