The Floodgates of Chaos
by Michael G. Mickey(7-30-08)
I've had homosexuals write to me upon occasion to tell me that there is no homosexual agenda. While I know there is one and evidence to that effect has been posted here in the past, Satan definitely has an agenda he's pursuing in the arena of elevating the rights of those who practice what God calls abomination (Leviticus 18:22) to such a level that it will soon be near impossible for the Church to close the floodgates of chaos he's stirring in an attempt to defile God's institution of marriage and the biblically-defined family.On July 14th, OneNewsNow.com revealed that, on the heels of California beginning to allow same-sex marriages to occur there whether those getting married are residents of California or not, Massachusetts was brewing a 'recipe for chaos.' Below are some excerpts from that report for your consideration:
Massachusetts legislators are considering a change to state law that would allow homosexuals who are not residents of the commonwealth to come there to "marry." The potential consequences of the proposal could be chaotic, says one family advocate.and...
Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, explains what will happen if the prohibition is eliminated. "By attempting to turn Massachusetts into the Las Vegas of so-called 'gay marriage,' homosexual activists are going to create legal chaos in that state and across the nation," he argues. "When you're allowing homosexual couples to come into Massachusetts, get...'married,' and then go to other states and demand that their [relationships] get recognized, that's a recipe for chaos."This is definitely what the powers of darkness want, I thought as I read LaBarbera's words. The more gays that become married, the harder it's going to be, particularly in a politically correct world like ours, for a brainwashed public to ever consider TAKING AWAY someone's rights.Lo and behold, look what is in today's news! Two short weeks and some change later, Massachusetts legislators are moving to get the legislation speculated to be in the works above signed into law, opening the floodgates of chaos across our nation.I believe it's safe to say that what we see described in a OneNewsNow.com report posted today which brings us up to speed on what is taking place is a done deal, bringing us one step closer to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and, simultaneously, one step closer to seeing born-again Bible-believing Christians persecuted in this nation on a level never seen before! As you're about to read for yourself, the governor of Massachusetts is prepared to sign the legislation into law. Like I said, I think it's a done deal.
The Massachusetts House voted Tuesday to repeal a 1913 law that had been used to block same-sex "marriages" involving out-of-state couples, all but assuring that the state will allow those couples to wed regardless of where they live. The 119-36 vote came after the state Senate approved the repeal earlier this month, and Gov. Deval Patrick has said he will sign the bill. The measure requires one more procedural vote in each chamber before it is sent to the governor."Sometimes what you hope and pray for actually happens, which is kind of overwhelming," Michael Thorne, 55, of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, said after telling his 6-year-old son his parents could soon get married. Thorne and his partner of 25 years, James Theberge, have an Aug. 18 wedding planned in Provincetown, although the repeal will not take effect until 90 days after Patrick's signature.Opponents recoiled at the outcome. "With that protective barrier removed, out-of-state same-sex couples who marry here will sue to seek recognition in their home states, creating a flood of costly lawsuits and further eroding the people's right to define marriage democratically," the Massachusetts Family Institute said in a statement.As disturbing as this mockery of God's Word is in itself, rest assured that this is but the beginning of sorrows on this front. The floodgates that are being opened are being opened with far greater goals in mind, both by those of flesh attempting to further the homosexual agenda and among the powers and principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places seeking to dislodge God's will from playing a role in our world whatosever!Looking into the future, what we can be sure of is there are going to be many, many homosexuals 'marrying' in both California and Massachusetts. After that, homosexuals who have 'wed' in Massachusetts and California but are residents of states that don't allow same-sex marriage to take place or even recognize its legality are going to begin filing hundreds, if not thousands, of lawsuits trying to get their marriages legalized in their home states. It won't end there either as there is a higher goal still.The ultimate goal of the homosexual agenda? To have so many court cases to carry before the United States Supreme Court that it will create an environment capable of leading to what we just saw take place in California take place on a national level, the end result being black-robed activist judges overruling the will of the American people and, subsequently, making same-sex marriage the law of the land by judicial order!There is only one way - ONE WAY - to prevent the United States Supreme Court from forcing the homosexual agenda on us all should they elect to and that is to get a Defense of Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution passed and implemented before it's too late. Even that, it seems highly likely, is going to be very difficult to achieve as we have allowed way too many of the most liberal minds in America to become the leaders we have to depend on to close the floodgates of chaos presently beginning to be opened! Worse yet, potential exists that the most liberal of all our liberal leaders may soon take residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Senator Barack Obama. God help us!
Whether same-sex marriage becomes the law of our land or not, another front we need to stay at the ready to battle our legislators against forwarding is the homosexual agenda's desire to see more and more laws passed that will give homosexuals an avenue to claim they've suffered injury caused by the hate-filled Word of God and Christians simply because they label homosexuality a sin. With every victory those pushing the homosexual agenda claim, a natural byproduct is a weakening of the Word of God's impact on our society. Bearing this in mind, we need to stay at the ready to do whatever we can to preserve some vestige of godly morality for our children to grow up in!
How far we've fallen!
Back when God's Word was honored in this nation, homosexuals had no PRIDE to share with us. They weren't parading through San Francisco (or anyplace else) with the police standing by doing nothing as they engaged in public indecency, nudity and sex acts on public streets. Their lifestyle was something to be ashamed of - a sin! Now, however? What is fast becoming hideously shameful is for Christians to refuse to embrace all forms of sexual expression, especially if they justify their stance with scripture. Not only that, as I've documented on RaptureAlert.com any number of times, Christians are being arrested and prosecuted as criminals these days for peacefully protesting gay pride events. Up is down, right is wrong! You get the idea.Bible prophecy tells us that the last days will find our world as it was in the days of Lot when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness, their cry (or clamor) being very great before the Lord. (Luke 17:28, Genesis 18:20)Billy Graham once said, by my memory, "If God doesn't judge America, He is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah." That was years ago and, as I've just demonstrated, our sexual depravity is growing by leaps and bounds.The end is near. ARE YOU READY?
