Deuteronomy 49-50 “The Lord will bring a distant nation against you from the end of the earth, and it will swoop down on you like a vulture. It is a nation whose language you do not understand, a fierce and heartless nation that shows no respect for the old and no pity for the young.”
Do you not see this being played out as we speak? Do you not see that those who are in power do not speak the same language as you? They do not speak the language of honesty, virtue, compassion, belief in me, honoring others, integrity, humility, love, respect for others. They do not respect the old – they have shown that in their treatment of the old in this time of “pandemic”. They show this by the acceptance and furtherance of the elder care facilities. They have sown into your nation, your society, a belief that once parents are old and infirm, they are too much trouble to be cared for by family, that they do not deserve to remain in their homes until death, that they do not deserve to be treated lovingly and respectfully in their old age. No, they are to be shunted off to facilities where they are not a “burden”. They are sent away so as not to interrupt the lives of their children – the same children that interrupted those parents’ lives at their birth. The same children the parents made time for, sacrificed for, lived and at times died for. Those in power do not pity the young. They do not value the lives of the young. Abortion. Abuse. Neglect. Children are a burden these days. What matters is that their parents’ lives are fulfilling, that they are free to realize their potential, reach their dreams. No, children are not a treasure, they are the result of a lack of planning in moments of self-seeking pleasure. If allowed to be born, they are to be tolerated. They are to be raised by their teachers – with no thought or attention to what they are being taught. And as soon as they are old enough, they are to be sent out into the world to make their own way.
