‘Wherever law ends, tyranny begins.’
John Locke, 1689
John Locke, 1689
Across our world, lawlessness is abounding,
Societies becoming increasingly unglued.
Under corruption’s weights, governments failing,
Citizens feeling like, in life, they are being screwed.
Somewhere in the world, mass protests are exploding,
Pitting citizens against law enforcement.
Wedges being driven between them are tearing,
The social fabric called ‘governing consent’.
The proliferation of guns is now epidemic,
The result of our fears running amuck.
Fears spawned by every conceivable social pandemic,
And faith that gun barrels will stop the buck.
‘Live by the sword, die by the sword’, you’ve heard that.
‘Toward the end, lawlessness shall increase.’
Both warnings of Jesus are now a hard fact. 1
Abilities to govern now decreased.
Permanent instability in our world.
Armed conflicts feed increasing sales of arms.
Over decades, refugee crises unfurl,
As the internally-displaced folks swarm.
From the top-to-the-bottom of all societies,
The news from around the world is of lawless deeds.
Leaders and citizens, both filled with anxieties.
Lawless deeds increase as on more news the world feeds.
Ponder this…
What do you think would be the logical conclusion,
If at God’s laws we huff and shake our fists?
If against them we are increasingly emboldened,
Why be shocked at lawlessness in our midst?!?
The lawlessness that we may enjoy or enjoin,
Or that most of us gaze upon in disbelief,
Is a precursor for the coming champion,
To whom all will look for tribulation relief. 2
So by it all, let’s not be overly fazed.
Just keep it in perspective of God’s predictions.
Such must unfold toward the end of these days:
Contracting birth pangs for …the next dispensation. 3
