There Is No Vacuum
You either let God into your life, or something else
W.G.H
The first three commandments define the very basis for our relationships with God. He is our God. Singular, undivided, unique and absolute. There will be no other God other than God. No other force exists but God. Do not swear falsely by the name of God. You are not God.
Most of us, when thinking about these commandments, stick to the basics and that’s just fine. However, when we reflect on major events and life in general, we need to inspect them with more care.
Consider this quote from the book of Isiah.
"And one cried to another and said, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!'"
Isaiah 6:3
On a superficial level it’s fairly simple. Look around you, in awe, and realize what a glorious creation God thought up. All the seas and the mountains, the animals, us humans. The stars and galaxies. Awesome!
However, the verse is far deeper. It’s easier to understand from the original Hebrew text, that what it actually says is that God is IN everything. The direct translation might read more like “The earth is FILLED with his glory (essence)”.
This guiding principle is directly tied to the first three commandments, as well as to the issue I want to lay out for your consideration.
We talk a lot about the Woke. Mostly from the left, but that’s true for the woke on the right as well. The reason they sound so insane is that they simply forgot about these commandments.
The woke on the left have, for the most part, dispensed with this notion of God. They “don’t need him” in order to explain life. They break the first commandment by turning their back on him, and then they add insult to injury by worshiping other Gods. They’ve simply placed humans on top of the Pantheon, and decided that instead of following God’s will, we must follow Man’s will. Be it Karl Marx, Stalin or any other idiot with big words.
That is why their slogans are empty, their so-called values are hollow, and more importantly, why they are so violent. That’s why they cheer for a murderer, for shooting some rich guy on the street, why they celebrate the murder of two about-to-be-engaged youngsters in Washington, for the sole reason they have something to do with Israel. That’s why they support terrorists, remain silent about other victims of rape and murder and support every kind of revolution - for revolution’s sake. The solution for every problem for them is - burn everything down to the ground.
They’ve given us such great gifts, such as Lenin and Stalin’s USSR, Hitler’s Germany, China and Cuba. All shiny examples of what happens when you throw God out of your existence. We’ve seen them burn the streets in the US, make a mockery of higher education in the Wokiversaries.
By taking God out of their lives, they left a vacuum, which is then gets filled with lies, hatred, anger and utter lack of connection with reality.
The Woke on the right say they believe in God, but they ignore the third commandment. They abuse his message and spread hatred in his name. I don’t know which woke force is worst.
The idea of keeping God in our lives - and that means every moment and in every action - is to bind us to reality, to guide us with everything we do in a way that is always true.
It is never ok, to purposely go out and murder, rape maim and kidnap civilians. It is forever ok to go after people who perpetrated such atrocities, and do everything one can to free the hostages they took, and ensure they never again pose such a threat. Unlike their moral relativism dictates, there is absolutely no moral ambiguity here. When an army takes more than 18 months to do work that could’ve been done in 2, just to make every effort to avoid hurting civilians, this is inline with all of God’s morals. To pressure the Israeli army and government, instead of the terrorists who still hold almost 60 hostages, is cowardly and immoral. It is also racist, which is no surprise, seeing as the left have always looked at the Gazans as “less than”, who don’t have the capacity to own up to their responsibilities.
So yes, some racist and violent woke trolls will scream hysterically in your ear every now and then. Now you know that they either chased God out of their lives, or worship false Gods, or pretend to believe in God, while swearing falsely in his name.
