The recent appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court sparked protest throughout many cities; adding to the already tense social-political atmosphere of this country. Demonstrators throughout carried signs, and chanted their disapproval, saying that they believe “the selection process seemed to be biased against women“. 

Ever so often, we witness such protests; due to a society that is upset with the way administration is leading; feelings of injustice and frustration surface and are acted out. Sentiments similar to these are what took place prior to the French revolution.

The gospel would have brought to France the solution of those political and social problems that baffled the skill of her clergy, her king, and her legislators, and finally plunged the nation into anarchy and ruin. But under the domination of Rome the people had lost the Saviour’s blessed lessons of self-sacrifice and unselfish love. They had been led away from the practice of self-denial for the good of others. The rich had found no rebuke for their oppression of the poor, the poor no help for their servitude and degradation. The selfishness of the wealthy and powerful grew more and more apparent and oppressive. For centuries the greed and profligacy of the noble resulted in grinding extortion toward the peasant. The rich wronged the poor, and the poor hated the rich. 

 

… The court was given up to luxury and profligacy. There was little confidence existing between the people and the rulers. Suspicion fastened upon all the measures of the government as designing and selfish. {GC 279, 280}

Because of greed, selfishness, and pride throughout the government, the love of justice (for all) is being destroyed; the results of which have long been prophesied about.

Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet’s words: “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. {GC 592.3}

Time is short friends… a revolution is brewing! What we are seeing is history being repeated. Various movements are arising; the masses are becoming frustrated because of the moral corruption throughout – all leading to the final act in the great controversy!

Much more can be said; but for now – Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready!
