The Jericho March - An Idolatrous Debacle!

 

The Jericho March ended up taking siege of the US Capitol Hill. When the so called evangelicals scourged the walls of the US senate building, the whole Christendom bowed its head, eyes closed with shame. So much for standing witnesses for Jesus Christ!

One single man, Donald Trump in this case could take the whole right wing and mess with their minds, driving them to a point of insurrection. There were many renowned spiritual leaders in this march who claimed that God spoke to them through visions of Trump being the leader (please refer to articles given below for further understanding). Now with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris taking up their posts we now know who is the liar, for the God we worship is true to His character - He can never lie.

Our zeal for men can run deep if kept unchecked and can easily slide into the realm of idolism. Donald Trump carrying the Bible in his hand does not automatically make him a a devoted Christian as much as a car that is parked in a garage. So how did the evangelicals play the Christian card when everything that happened so far clearly violated the first four of the ten commandments.

Whether it's individual or politics the rule remains the same. God is sovereign and His will prevails. The Bible says, "Accept the way God does things, for who can straighten what he has made crooked?" Ecclesiastes 7:13 NLT, "If he snatches something, who can stop him? Who can ask him, “What are you doing?” Job 9:12 CSB. Being children of God we need to keep the will of God first. However, the situations pan out, God is still in control and knows very well what He is doing. Remember He is an Omniscient God.

 Dear brothers and sisters, idolism is a snare. Charles Spurgeon describes it beautifully, "If there is anything better than God you are idolaters; if there is anything you would not want to give up for God it is your idol: if there is anything you seek with greater fervor, than you seek the glory of God, that is your idol and conversion means a turning away from every idol." If there are known or hidden idols in our heart, it's time we convert even if we have been Christians from birth. Apostle Paul in his second letter to Timothy says, "holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them."2 Timothy 3:5 AMP. If we have to keep away from such people who instigate us to defile the Glory of God, let's do it, so that we may not be found wanting in the sight of God and lose out our opportunity for eternal life.
