Those of us who love God, the Bible, family, and all that is good, are mourning the violent assassination of Charlie Kirk. For many people in this nation and world, they knew who Charlie Kirk was. He was a godly man who fearlessly stood up for what is right. He testified that he loved God, his children, and wife. He loved America. He knew that the youthful generation of America was travelling down a dangerous and deadly path. He feared for the future of America. Therefore, he was killed because he loved God and all that is pleasing to God.
The brutal death of Charlie Kirk is a commentary on the youthful American culture. We are living in a culture that is far away from God. They do not know God. They do not what to know about God. They are in rebellion against God and His laws (Psalm 2:1-3). The Bible is clear that when a culture reaches this tipping point, they are ready for the wrathful judgment of God. God is holy. He created mankind to love, honor, worship, and serve Him. God does have a toleration point. Think about the days of Noah and the fiery judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah. God loves man and has warned Him in His divine revelation that man must choose the path of life, rather than the path of death (Deuteronomy 30:15-20). God has not changed, and His Word is unchanging and eternal.
When a culture reaches the point when they reject God and love only self, they are destined to damnation. This culture will rebel against God and His laws. They love evil and hate good. Therefore, they attack those who promote God and good. Psalm 11:2 says, “The wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.” In Romans 1, a godless culture is one that suppresses God’s truth and destroys their conscience. At the heart of this wicked defiant rebellion against God are those who become “haters of God” (Romans 1:30). Furthermore, these fools are “despisers of those that are good” (2 Timothy 3:3).
At the very heart of civilization are God and His law. When the nations depart from God and His law, they are in a mode of self-destruction. Read Psalm 11:3-7. We are living in a world that hates the Jewish people and loves Hamas, a violent hater of the God of the Bible. God gave us our Savior and His Word through the Jewish people. While the nation of Israel is not perfect, it is a nation that celebrates life and is committed to protecting their people from a people and religion that are committed to their destruction. This battle for the Jewish people and their Promised Land is the final battle that will end man’s rule over God’s creation.
Jesus Christ is coming. He will rule the world with a rod of iron. He will not tolerate any rebellion against His law. His law will go forth from Jerusalem and He will teach His ways to all nations (Psalm 2:2-3). Rebels will not be tolerated! Violence will end!
The murder of Charlie Kirk demonstrates that our global culture is near its end. The righteous Judge is about to unleash His fury against the rebels on earth. God and good will rule on this planet for 1,000 years!
Come Lord Jesus! Come quickly! We are waiting for your return. We are longing to see your face! “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).
Be listening for the shout that will take us out!
