“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” -Isaiah 5:20.
Easter is a revered holiday for most Christians, marking the day when Jesus rose from the dead after His death on the cross. But this year Easter coincided with the President's declaration of March 31st being “The Transgender Day of Visibility” for the LGBTQI+ movement here in America. Some say this day had been proclaimed previously, but it doesn't seem to have been widely known. You can see the transcript of Biden's proclamation at; https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/ If you are a born-again believer who truly loves the Lord Jesus, I hope it's been a grief to you.
The devil has given us very busy lives, and by this many have been blinded to what's going on all around them; people REFUSE to believe the end of the world is at hand, because it means God's judgment, which can be a terrifying thought. I have a difficult time trying to convince others of just how bad things are, yet if you can get a grip on this one aspect (LGBTQI+), and how it has been embraced by our leaders, hopefully you'll recognize today as the evil end time the Bible speaks about.
The Christian believer knows there are only 2 genders, and that scripture denotes homosexual behavior as a sin God hates. People aren't born this way, it is a bad behavior they are drawn into, and there can be many hurtful practices a person could be drawn to. Yet we must not yield, and seek to justify the draw of our flesh into wrong behavior, but we “deny oueselves, and take up our crosses daily” as a needful part of following Christ (Luke 9:23). It should be acknowledged here that while we wish to put away sin from our lives, not every behavior we would modify is necessarily sinful of itself. Later on I'll provide a list of scriptures on this topic, as some may not know our doctrinal foundation.
Yet there are a few areas of particular concern about the LGBTQI+ agenda I'd like to address as part of mankind's advancement toward the Last Days' judgment of God. 1) First is the promotion of these practices internationally. 2) Next is the “unequal yoke” the church shares with it. 3) There is also a forced acceptance of these practices upon all. 4) It is our elected leaders pushing the agenda. 5) This movement has been underhandedly proselytizing to bring in more members.
Many of us may roll our eyes when this topic comes up, and then move on to another subject. Frankly, it's become overwhelming at times, and in some circles; but we MUST stand up for what's right in God's eyes. It was really the Obama administration that began to widely promote this agenda, causing what was a very small, quiet stream to become a raging river. Former President Obama even stood before the United Nations and gave a speech promoting equal rights for LGBTQI+. The seeds of this movement were being noticed even from back in the 1960s.
First, the U.S. attempts to force other nations into this immoral behavior by holding back foreign aid, unless they will adopt these practices for their nations. Does this sound reasonable?
Secondly, American Christians have learned to walk in unity with this movement, and the practices of our government; thinking they are still good, and used of God-when all it shows is the depth of our hypocrisy; we should be witnessing to our own nation to put away this evil! Doesn't anyone regard the lesson from Sodom and Gomorrah?
“Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.” -Haggai 2:13,14. Bold type added for emphasis.
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?...Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” -2 Corinthians 6:14,17,18.
Third, there has been a forced acceptance of these practices, many times on a legal level. It is a slap to free speech, and for acting upon your convictions. It is vital that we stand for the truth. There is no room for embracing sexual sin of any kind, please read the example found in 1 Corinthians 5 when you can.
Fourth; in recognizing the time we live in, and the evils our nation has surrendered to, we must acknowledge that it is our LEADERS supporting the LGBTQI+ agenda. This reflects the morality of the U.S. as a nation, for these men & women are elected by our votes.
Lastly, this movement is not about merely finding acceptance for a certain small minority of people; no, they are instead trying actively to make “converts” for their cause-and thus we see their attack on educating our children, and promotion in various media avenues. These things are often done by covert means to go against the wishes of most.
But due to the huge media push for the LGBTQI+ agenda, I fear many of us have lost touch with Bible teachings related to this, and so our doctrinal foundation is weakened. Listed below are some scriptural references for your help, and then I'll tie it all together at the end.
There are ONLY 2 genders: look at these important verses from Genesis 1:27&28A;
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth...” These verses identify just 2 genders, and promote reproduction; for which any homosexual relationship will not work. Jesus also espouses 2 genders with the male & female relationship in Matthew 19:4 and Mark 10:6.
The FACT that there are only 2 biological (science) genders is exceedingly
obvious. We were born either male or female with no choice in the matter. If a woman claims she is really a man, or a man claims to be woman, it is purely by imagination, delusion, wishful thinking, or they're joking. Surgeries may be arranged to alter key physical features outwardly, but there will be no altering of genes, chromosomes, or DNA. Bible prophecy covers the delusional aspect in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12;
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” Underlining & bold type added to emphasize! LGBTQI+ is a judgment of God.
The letters of LGBTQI+ really just denote different aspects of homosexual relations, and we find this referenced in another “end times” prophecy which encompasses all of Romans 1:18-32, but these specific verses in 1:24-28; these verses say 3X how God finally gives up trying to reach these;
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”
These are sobering verses. Underlining denotes where God “gives up” on these individuals.
The following are some other verses pertaining to the homosexual issue;
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” -Leviticus 18:22.
“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” -Deuteronomy 22:5.
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” -Leviticus 20:13.
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” -1 Corinthians 6:9,10. The term effeminite typically refers to homosexual relations.
These aren't necessarily all the scriptures which relate to our topic. But if marriage is to be between a man and woman, then it isn't possible between 2 of the same gender; this would automatically make them fornicators or adulterers in God's eyes, and MANY verses apply there!
And most are well acquainted with the account of Abraham's nephew Lot in Sodom, and the judgment God brought upon Sodom & Gomorrah, and all those cities in that plain (Genesis 19:24-29). The only specific sin mentioned for Sodom was the attempted rape of the angels, and Lot, in Genesis 19:4-11. There was also, however, another account of similar nature written in Judges 19&20; please take time to read this, if you're not familiar with it.
So where am I trying to go with this right now? We see our nation pressuring other countries to emulate our morals under threat of withholding economic aid that they really need. We have the U.S. President pressing LGBTQI+ Visibility Day at the same time Christians are exalting the resurrection of Jesus! I see that symbolically, the devil meant for the President's proclamation to be a spiritual eclipse to block out the Son of God, and just ahead of a more tangible eclipse; the solar eclipse that occurred over the U.S. 8 days after Easter...
This solar eclipse was the 2nd over America in about 7 years, the previous coming 8/21/2017. The track of these 2 eclipses forms a giant X over our nation, and I believe it's a sign of judgment from God. My wife & I have known judgment to be coming for all of the moral and military evils our nations have brought to this world, without any further sign needed-we have the testimony of God's Word, and we trust it. Jesus also said that this generation would be the last, and that nothing will turn it away, see Matthew 24:32-34.
It is time to get serious about our faith, Christians of America. Do we really love the Lord Jesus? Do we believe the Word He has given us? God warns His people to flee out of “Mystery Babylon” (Revelation 17:5, 18:4) as He warned them to flee the first Babylon (Jeremiah 51:6) many years ago, because His judgments will come; they are true, and righteous altogether (Psalm 19:9). It is time to return to our first love. God has not forsaken us, but in love He warns us to
“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” -1 Thessalonians 5:2-6. Bold type added for emphasis.
“For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” -Luke 21:22.
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” -Matthew 24:13.
