"When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3, NIV)
I have written on this text a number of times over the last twenty years. You know that the original language implies that, "....the foundations are...destroyed...," there is nothing the righteous can do. But I believe our Lord Jesus Christ is working His Work. He is raising, "up the age old foundations."
Hebrews 12:2

Consider: I have shared that the reason the last US Presidential Election turned out the way it did was that, "the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full." Now, however, we are witnessing the shock of everyone concerning the victory of the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia over a Clinton clone. Over the last year and a half, US Citizens, indeed, the whole world has watched the humanist politicians do their evil work. Could last night's election result be a "light at the end of the tunnel? "The iniquity of the Amorite (may) not yet (be) full," but it is being exposed.
Here is a brief commentary of Barnes on the passage which came to me concerning the election results of the United States of America's federal and state elections in 2020. "'For the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.'-- From this simple sentence we have much to learn. First: The Lord foreknows the moral character of people. Second: In His providence He administers the affairs of nations on the principle of moral rectitude. Third: Nations are spared until their iniquity is full. Fourth: They are then cut off in retributive justice." May our Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on all.
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for Your, "mighty acts." Amen.
