When The Rulers Become Corrupt, Everyone Suffers

 Proverbs chapter 29: 12-14

If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked. The poor and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both. If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.

These are basic principles, but in every season and age as long as man has lived upon the earth, the cycle is the same. People decide to live in harmony with each other and to live by good or Godly standards. They succeed for a while, and the rulers of the land begin to change the policies in the land that helped make their country a successful one, and what enters into the land are lies, evil practices and corruption.

The corruption gets so bad that the people start protesting and they begin to rebel against the leaders that were put into office. Revolution begins or the rebels leave the country to start a new life someplace else where they can live united in peace where there are good or Godly standards...

We cannot live as the people of God live in Heaven because there is too much corruption and sin in the world. The Lord sent His Son Jesus into the world to atone for all of our sins; without the Blood of the Lamb, we could not be redeemed to live in His presence forever. Many people want to believe that we can solve our problems without God in our lives.

Humanity has had thousands of years to correct the sin issue, and the people of God believe that it is impossible to do so. We live in a modern society that tries to teach techniques to help people cope with their everyday lives. This is a temporary solution at best and certainly not the best one for living a successful life.

So, when you see our leaders lying, cheating, manipulating others for their own political agendas, please understand that this is a symptom  of humanity trying desperately to solve its own problems and failing miserably,  but real change could happen in our generation. 

If you are God's child you will be protected, even unto death. Some will be needed to stand for good no matter what the consequences may be, and some may be needed to endure until real and lasting change arrives, but just remember to keep the Lord in your heart and to stand for His standards and not for the standards of the world...
