I am only superficially talking about the Rainbow tyranny being imposed on America and the world today. The thought came from the gospel song – “Give Them All to Jesus,” where the opening line is, “Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows? Are you tired of spinning round and round? Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life, and at the feet of Jesus, lay them down.” Great advice: too bad it is not being heeded by many today.
The second stanza says, “He never said you’d only see sunshine. He never said there’d be no rain, no, no. He only promised a heart full of singing about the very thing that once brought pain.” I have contended for a long time that America’s only hope is Jesus! I believe that we, as a nation, have drifted away from our biblical and moral moorings and allowed the insanity of totalitarian activism to rule our day.
The tendency is to hide cowardly in the shadows, fearing being called derogatory names. Are we adolescents and consider being called a name the epitome of things to be avoided? Have we ceased using logic and divested ourselves from all semblances of cognitive reason and critical thought? Have we succumbed to the demand to violate our core convictions to tolerate the prevalent modern insanity?
I keep praying and hoping to see something that will encourage me that we have not sailed too far from the shore and lost all hope of restoration. I see a flicker on the horizon that suggests that, just maybe, we have not. I have been utterly amazed over the past decade and especially over the past three years at how easily people are persuaded to embrace lunacy.
During the COVID pandemic and paranoia, I watched America and the world willingly go into lockdown and allowed, without sufficient evidence, the destruction of our economy and many lives. I could not believe the lack of pushback and the docile compliance. It made me rethink the takeover by the Man of Sin (Antichrist) in the Bible. I thought that his takeover would encounter resistance, but now I wonder. I can understand why Jesus lamented that He might not find faith on the earth when He returns. Can we be moved from our faith and convictions so easily?
Barack Hussein Obama proudly declared that we were days away from the “fundamental transformation of America” as he prepared to be inaugurated. That was not new to Obama, the Democrats, RHINOs, or activists. It has been in the works for over one hundred years, dating back to the Fabian Socialist. However, they were not the originators of destruction that dates back before the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. It was birthed in the heart of Lucifer, who became satan.
We are seeing the fruit of those efforts in today’s insanity. Will we reach the place where we grow tired of ‘Chasing Pretty Rainbows’ and run to the foot of the Cross in repentance? Will we reach the place we are no longer willing to tolerate and comply with the demands of activists and political elitists as they destroy our freedoms? Will we? I can only pray that we will.
At the end of Trump’s term as president, we watched the economy rendered impotent. We watched blatant election fraud that was dismissed, swept under the rug, ignored, and denied. We watched judges refuse to judge according to the Constitution and the Rule of Law. We have watched as anti-Americanism has become openly popular and chic in Washington. We have watched violent acts of domestic terrorism in riots, looting, burning, and destroying called justifiable peaceable actions, while peaceful protests were called terrorism.
We have seen elected officials abandon their oath of office and corporations abandon their investors seeking to be WOKE. The banking industry has become so corrupt and inept that investors’ money is anything but safe. We are watching the insanity of the claim that climate change or global warming is the root cause of every negative thing in the world. We have come to the place where medical doctors have boarded the politically correct train and moved from healing to complying with the talking points of liberalism and globalism.
We are watching the increasing demands for reparations to people whose ancestors were mistreated by another group’s ancestors. We have reached the juncture in society, politics, and often from the pulpit where Freedom of Speech and Religion are not deemed inalienable but malleable at the whim of those in power politically.
When will the American people reach the point that we are no longer willing to endure suffering, the loss of liberty, and the destruction of our dreams? What do we do When we can no longer trust the electoral system to produce fair elections? Our American contract becomes violated, and rather than elections being an expression of the will of the people, they will become charades attempting to appease the gullible. When will we grow tired of Chasing Pretty Rainbows?
How can we recover our nation and our freedoms? How can we see a return to constitutional governance and the rule of law equally applied to all, including politicians of all stripes? How can we protect our property, defend ourselves without fear of prosecution, receive true and accurate news, and protect our children? How?
I believe that we do so via a multifaced endeavor:
- We return to God (2 Chronicles 7:14).
- We become vocal about the abuses of our system, the constitution, and the law.
- We become those who “see something, say something,” exposing corruption and hypocrisy.
- We use our most potent voting tool, our wallets, and many in the corporate and political world will hesitate if they feel the pinch sufficiently.
- We become involved; some may even become candidates for change and restoration.
We can reclaim our republic and restore our freedoms, but not without God’s help. We can, but not without a 1776-style commitment to the cause of freedom. We can, but not without holding the feet of all the politicians to the fire of freedom and unitedly evicting them when they refuse to follow the Constitution. Will we grow sufficiently tired of ‘Chasing Pretty Rainbows’ to salvage the Republic? Only time will tell, and only God knows.
God bless you, and God bless America!
