STATE of governments

 

2 Peter 2:17

King James Version

17 These are wells without water, 

clouds that are carried with a tempest; 

to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.


What is your government like?

Would it be something like this?

2 Peter 2:2

King James Version

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; 

by reason of whom the way of truth 

shall be evil spoken of.


2 Peter 2:3

King James Version

3 And through covetousness shall they 

with feigned words 

make merchandise of you: 

whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, 

and their damnation slumbereth not.


2 Peter 2:8

King James Version

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, 

in seeing and hearing, 

vexed his righteous soul from day to day 

with their unlawful deeds;)


2 Peter 2:13

King James Version

13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, 

as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. 

Spots they are and blemishes, 

sporting themselves with their own deceivings 

while they feast with you;


2 Peter 2:14

King James Version

14 Having eyes full of adultery, 

and that cannot cease from sin; 

beguiling unstable souls: 

an heart they have exercised 

with covetous practices; 

cursed children:


2 Peter 2:15

King James Version

15 Which have forsaken the right way, 

and are gone astray, 

following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, 

who loved the wages of unrighteousness;


2 Peter 2:18

King James Version

18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, 

they allure through the lusts of the flesh, 

through much wantonness, 

those that were clean 

escaped from them who live in error.


2 Peter 2:19

King James Version

19 While they promise them liberty, 

they themselves are the servants of corruption: 

for of whom a man is overcome, 

of the same is he brought in bondage.


If your government is like that, don't be surprised.

Such is the state of the world.

It reflects who we follow.

Who we have given our allegiance to.

Believers in JESUS, know how to live, love, and govern.

Unbelievers are ruled by a different god.

And with it, the resulting chaos.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,

 who is the image of God, should shine unto them.


Ephesians 2:2

King James Version

2 Wherein in time past 

ye walked according to the course of this world, 

according to the prince of the power of the air, 

the spirit that now worketh 

in the children of disobedience:


Ephesians 6:12

King James Version

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.


1 Peter 5:8-9

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, 

knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished 

in your brethren that are in the world.


1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.


Revelation 12:12

King James Version

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, 

and ye that dwell in them. 

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! 

for the devil is come down unto you, 

having great wrath, because he knoweth 

that he hath but a short time.


Of course, at any given moment, unbelievers can have a change of heart.

They just have to want it enough.

And be aware of the harm they do.
