Does A "Fool" Rule Over Us?

Isaiah 32:6

For a fool speaks nonsense, --

A "fool" is a vile person who is morally deficient and without good character. He speaks nonsense, villany (Hebrew for nothingness, no substance).

and his heart inclines toward wickedness, --

This word wickedness is "hypocrisy" (moral filth, hypocrisy).

to practise ungodliness --

His programs are based on ungodliness or wickedness, the word here is "iniquity" (twisting, bending);  in presenting himself as a good, moral person who wants to help, but promoting a deceptive world-view of scarcity.

and to speak error against the Lord, 

He thereby speaks error against our Lord God Who has blessed this Earth with His riches in glory to provide over-abundantly for everyone in the whole world with much more than we need.

(In order) to keep the hungry person unsatisfied and to withhold drink from the thirsty.

This scarcity view promotes the welfare state, in providing the poor only enough to sustain life but never allowing them to get ahead. This has resulted in many families being kept poor for generations, deceived by the lie that those who worked for and accumulated an abundance must have "stolen" it all from the poor, creating class-envy resulting in class-warfare.

This is a wake-up call to all God's people who know His ways. There is still hope for us, if we will acknowledge our Lord God in our public life and turn from all our wicked ways and call upon His Holy Name to help us, then He will hear from Heaven and forgive our sins and heal our land. This applies to all His people everywhere, in every Nation.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
