THE 20TH OF KISLEV
Monday, May 1, 2023
Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission...
Not long ago, the actor president held a large ceremony on the White House lawn. The purpose was to sign a law entitled, with all the irony of George Orwell's newspeak, the Respect for Marriage Act. The law struck down the Defense of Marriage Act and, for the first time in American history, enshrined the ending of the Biblical definition of marriage, as in same sex marriage, into federal law.

The president turned it into a great celebration, with special guest music performers, with thousands of LGBT activists on the White House lawn, and with the White House lit up in the colors of the rainbow, just as his former boss, Barack Obama had done in 2015. The rainbow was the sealing of what the actor president had done. The act would compel all people and organizations to respect marriages which according to the Word of God constitute sin and its enshrinement.

There is only one place in the Bible where God does not respect marriage. It was the day when He judged the marriages of Israel that were entered into against His will. In a gathering held in the capital city, He judged it. Even though those marriages in ancient times were given sanction and legitimacy by man, God said they were of sin and illegitimate. He would not respect them. When did that take place?

It happened on the 20th day of the Biblical month of Kislev. The 20th of Kislev is the day of marriages that were not marriages, but unions of sin, unions that God said He would not respect or recognize. He called His people to repent of them.

When actor Biden lit up the White House that night in the colors of the rainbow, it was meant as the sealing on what had just been done. He had no idea what day it was on the Biblical calendar. It was the 20th day of Kislev. So he sealed the Respect for Marriage Act, and that forced all to respect those marriages on the very day in the Bible when God said He would not respect those marriages. He celebrated those marriages and bent federal law around them on the 20th of Kislev, the day of marriages that were not marriages but unions of sin. The actor president sealed the celebration of those marriages on the very day that God called a nation to repent of them.

The actor president intended the lighting up of the White House in the colors of the rainbow as the last word on the law. But God had the last word. The God whose ways were disregarded and overturned by the Senate and actor president is alive and well - and not silent. And if His people are alive and well - then we can't be silent either. Be encouraged. No matter what man does, your God is still on the throne and He has no intention of getting off. Be strong, be bold, be of good courage. This month, be a light in the darkness. And may God greatly bless you as you do!
