Psalm 78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
How does one make fun of God? It is quite simple, actually. It comes in many different forms, but at its root, it attacks the very principles outlined in the Bible. It began with Lucifer when he thought he could be as God. The result of this prideful endeavor took a third of the angels with him and all were cast out of Heaven. Since that day,
Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (13) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
The Bible has a lot to say about what provokes God. A few examples of such provocation can be seen in:
Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Deuteronomy 6:14-15 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; (15) (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
Psalm 106:28-29 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. (29) Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
Isaiah 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
We see that anything that goes against God’s will, or makes fun of His nature, provokes His anger. These are just a few verses outlining what God is against. In them, you can see what goes against God’s will, and illustrating the consequences of turning away from His commandments. In Psalm 106:28-29, we see that the people sacrificed to Baalpeor, a chilling example of how easily a society can be led astray. Just who was this “god”? He was known as Baal of Peor and was a Moabite idol, a variant of the Canaanite god named Baal, worshipped on Mount Peor through rituals laden with immorality and idolatry. This worship revolved around sexual immorality and extreme forms of idolatry, which serve as reminders of the dangers of deviating from true faith. With the trans movement and the alphabet group, we see a modern manifestation of this ancient practice, as societal norms shift towards accepting and even glorifying behaviors that sideline God’s teachings. Granted, those involved may not believe they are serving another god, but in their actions, they are indeed placing something above the divine authority of God, thus becoming unwitting participants in a cycle of rebellion. In so doing, they are bringing judgment upon themselves, facing spiritual consequences that can ripple through our communities. Furthermore, the abortion industry is booming, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, as many turn a blind eye to the sanctity of life. They are shedding innocent blood and bringing judgment not only upon themselves but also on our great nation, eroding the moral fabric that has historically united us. It is vital for us to reflect on these truths, to stand firm in our convictions, and to advocate for a return to the principles that honor God’s will.
Lastly, as believers we are watching our land turning against Israel, a situation that is as distressing as it is alarming. Anti-Semitism is on the rise, not only here in the U.S. but all over the world, manifesting in various forms from rhetoric to violent actions. How can we possibly be returning to the ideology of the 1930’s and 1940’s, one of the darkest periods in history that saw immense suffering? Did this world not learn anything from the past? Our President is changing his stand as it relates to the land that rightfully belongs to Israel, which could bring judgment upon our nation and lead to severe consequences for our moral compass. The only explanation for this overall shift against Israel is that we are living in the end times and that the devil knows his time is short. As we witness these events unfold, it’s vital for believers to remain vigilant, to stand firm in solidarity with Israel, and to pray for peace and restoration, knowing that the battle is a spiritual one.
If you “happened” onto this website and you feel God tugging at your heart, please follow this link and read what the Bible says about salvation. Our time here is short, and soon, possibly today, born-again Christians will be taken from this earth, ushering in a new era that many refer to as the Rapture. A time spoken of in Scripture as the seven-year Tribulation will come upon the earth, a period marked by unprecedented challenges and turmoil. You do not want to be part of it, as it is going to be the most horrible time ever recorded in human history, filled with suffering and despair beyond our comprehension. Please, take this post seriously and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, who offers hope and redemption in these troubling times. Only He can save you and provide the peace that surpasses all understanding, guiding you through life’s trials and into eternal life. Don’t hesitate; seek Him today, for tomorrow may be too late!
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
