“Woe: Evil Good, Good Evil”

“Woe: Evil Good, Good Evil”

Blessings folk!

We as believers are to speak the truth in love.

Therefore, we must know the Truth.
We must boldly speak the Truth.

But, know this.
The world will resist.
The organizational “church” will resist.
Why?

The world will have this mindset…

Isa 5:20

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

We see this increasing.
The good things of God are called evil.
The things God calls evil and abhorrent are called good.

Why is such so?

Isaiah 5 gives more insight…

Isa 5:18-24

Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood,
And sin as if with cart ropes;

Who say, “Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it;
And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near
And come to pass, that we may know it!”

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight!

Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine
And valiant men in mixing strong drink,

Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble
And dry grass collapses into the flame,
So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust;
For they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

The Lord is pronouncing “woe” upon these folk.

They:

  • Drag around iniquity and sin
  • They arrogantly demand that God hurry up and reveal His work so they may see
  • They demand that God reveal His purpose
  • Call evil good
  • Call good evil
  • Substitute darkness for light
  • Substitute light for darkness
  • Substitute bitter for sweet
  • Substitute sweet for bitter
  • Are wise in their own eyes
  • Are clever in their own sight
  • Are “heroes” in drinking wine
  • Are “valiant men” in mixing strong drink
  • Justify wickedness for a bribe
  • Take rights of those who are right

The result?
Their root will rot.
Their blossom will blow away as the dust.

Why?
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of Hosts.
They have despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.

Such is the state of the world.
Such is the state of most of the “organizational church”.
They have rejected the Word.
They have despised the Word.
They continue to meet in the confabs of man to seek “solutions” and “ways forward”.
Without giving heed to the Word they will continue on the path toward the lake of fire.
