She shared this the other day and I realized she was 100% on the money and profound.
You know how in John 11 we saw a Sadducee high priest unknowingly give a prophecy
" But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.” Now he did not say this on his own initiative, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,"
My mom pointed out that the leftists are unknowingly saying the truth. They may have convinced themselves that they're protesting Trump and may have convinced themselves that holding signs saying "no kings" is about Trump, but they're actually saying what they really believe. Most of them are deeply, deeply anti-Christian and anti-Christ in their attitude and Jesus is the King of kings. Like the end times generations who shake their fist at God during the tribulation, the leftists are unkowingly declaring what is on their heart. They're saying no to the actual King of kings, we'll be our own god.
It's just like caiaphas. In their mind that sign is all about Trump, but I think it's a clever thing where just like how caiaphas thought he was making a pragmatic statement about how to deal with Jesus, his evil scheme was unknowingly being spoken as prophecy.
Likewise I think it's the same with the leftists, unknowingly declaring something deeper while thinking within their mind it's about Trump because of the echo chamber and the TDS delusions.
The thing I find most profound about Exodus is not the four-hundred years of Israelite bondage, not God summoning plagues and leading the people out of Egypt, not God parting the waters, not the manna that fed the people for decades.....but the fact that after ALL of that, Moses was on Mt. Sinai for a mere forty days before the people made a golden calf to worship and claimed it led them out of Egypt.
There are millions of modern non-believers who would turn to God for life if they were there for even one day. But the Israelites...truly were a stiff-necked people who would not let go of the sin in their hearts. And this repeated throughout the rest of the old testament where even kings who did right in the sight of the Lord still left the pagan altars in the high places.
When Jesus said "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!" I don't think there are words for how heartbroken He was.
I have a tough time understanding this too but have you read the part where Moses draws a line in the sand and asks them whose side their on?
Exodus 19:25-30
Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them get out of control, resulting in weakness before their enemies.And Moses stood at the camp’s entrance and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him. He told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man fasten his sword to his side; go back and forth through the camp from entrance to entrance, and each of you kill his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’” The Levites did as Moses commanded, and about 3,000 men fell dead that day among the people. Afterward Moses said, “Today you have been dedicated to the Lord, since each man went against his son and his brother. Therefore you have brought a blessing on yourselves today.”
The following day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a grave sin. Now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I will be able to atone for your sin.”
