In his highly acclaimed book, “Nazi Oaks,” Pastor R. Mark Musser turns to Isaiah 57 where the prophet records the rejection of the Holy Creator God by Jewish religious and social leaders and their depraved followers in favor of the mythological Canaanite evolutionary nature religion. The subsequent loss of spiritual leadership results in deification of man, occultism, and sadistically evil human sacrificial rituals where children are burned to death as offerings to Ba’al, a Canaanite god:
“They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal – something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it ever enter My mind.” Jeremiah 19:5
Children were burned to death and faithful people rejected, scorned, ridiculed, persecuted, imprisoned, impoverished, terrorized, murdered and otherwise died. Left behind were the depraved counter culture rebels of society – evolutionary pagan religious and social elites and their depraved, destructive followers:
“Against whom do you jest? Against whom do you open wide your mouth and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of rebellion, offspring of deceit, who inflame among yourselves among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter the children in ravines, under the clefts of the crags?” (Isaiah 57: 4-5)
We do not know, nor will we ever know while in this world, who the Remnant are. Two things only can we know about them: they exist and they will hear truth-tellers and truth telling prayer warriors.
In this time when the Lord our God is once more executing His righteous judgments, the lesson for truth tellers and prayer warriors is this: trying to convince wholesale numbers of people living in iniquity and hatred that they are going the wrong way and they need truth, repentance, prayer, and the mercy of God will fail because they do not possess what Plato described as “a saving force of intellect and force of character….” Another way of saying this is, “…they do not possess good wills and honest minds,” although they might do so one day if they come to the Lord.
By the Grace of our Lord, it is the Remnant who possess this type of character. But in order that they may be reached one must speak and pray through the masses who will not listen.
This was the unenviable and burdensome task assigned by our Lord to Isaiah the prophet during the time when the Lord our God was executing His righteous judgments on the Israelis and Isaiah had come to realize that the majority of Israelis did not care about God and His Truth so did not want to hear his warnings. This was because they preferred to run after apostate Jewish religious and cultural leaders and the depraved ‘delights’ offered by the Canaanite evolutionary nature religion. Iniquity of every kind was what they lusted after so they shut their ears against Isaiah because they didn’t want to hear that they were living in sin and evil. Upon this realization Isaiah was ready to give up until the Lord made him understand that to walk away meant abandoning the Remnant.
Though President Trump and his administration have been able to bring about many needed reforms they cannot rid our homeland of the systemic iniquity and hatred plaguing it because evil cuts through the hearts of all men, thus, evil will ever be with us in this world. Day by day the Lord reveals evils at the highest corridors of power down to the lowest levels of society that are but the tip of a vast iceberg of iniquity. But our Lord is also revealing another horrible evil: America is a boiling pot of murderous hatred. There is hatred of God, hatred of mother and father, hatred of the America at its founding, hatred of Christianity, hatred of babies, hatred of white people, hatred of straight white men, hatred of Jews, and hatred of black people. Thus our evil times are much like the days of Isaiah. So when truth-tellers and prayer warriors come to learn the lessons of Isaiah will they be able to carry on through the raging masses in order to reach the Remnant planted like gilded wheat in a great field of darkened, bent tares.
Let us pray:
Thank You Lord for the example of Isaiah, who during that time of Your righteous judgment, courageously remained steadfast in faith as he patiently endured suffering, rejection and loneliness while laboring under the task that You, O Lord, had laid upon him. Dear Lord, in these times of Your righteous judgment please strengthen us that we too may be courageous, faithful, and long suffering like Isaiah, and not be plunged into hopelessness and despair when fiery darts of mocking and scoffing are thrown at us. Remind us Lord that our prayers are not in vain because the Remnant, whoever and wherever they are, will hear them despite that our prayers must pass through the masses.
Strengthen us Lord that we might be as resolute as Isaiah in these wicked times. Day by day as we lift our voices up in prayer–even though we might be weary as Isaiah often was–may our spirits ever be lifted up on high to where our hopes and treasures are, there with You Lord, in the unimaginably beautiful Paradise restored where evil, hatred, death, and tears will no longer exist and we will find eternal rest, peace, love, and joy.
In the Holy Name of the Crucified Risen Christ. Amen
