The Borg of the Lord

Habakkuk 1:6
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. KJV

There now follows five verses describing the sword of God’s judgment, the Chaldeans. They are bitter and hasty, terrible and dreadful, filled with unrelenting violence and overflowing with scoffing derision, they are hungry devourers and merciless enslavers, all fuelled by a such a self love, that regarding every obstacle, they simply ‘adapt and overcome.’ To such an all consuming, hungry and carnivorous swarm, any national resistance was futile. Now then, I have purposely quoted Habakkuk 1:6 from the KJV tonight, as the opening statement is more pronounced in this translation. “LOOK!” Say’s God, “Lo, I raise up the Chaldeans.”

Here then, God shall use a godless and unrighteousness nation to judge His wayward covenanting people. Indeed, God Himself has raised up and shaped this sharp threshing sledge for such a time as this. Mark well then today, that on planet earth, behind all the black gates of Mordor, it is not Sauron now who is building an army of Orcs beneath Mount doom, no, it is God! “Lo, I raise up the Chaldeans.”

How then can we know when it is darkness and the devil and an infestation of the demonic which raises up a wicked nation against us and even a confederation of nations to come against the righteous light seekers, the holy light holders and the freedom from sin proclaimers? I say again: how can we know when the originator of destruction is God or the devil? Well, there is an easy answer to this question. When a nation is indeed a seeker of light and a holder of righteousness and a proclaimer of the same, then God will never come against it. Ever! Any adversity against such a nation finds its sources solely in the devil. However, when a nation sniffs at holiness, when a nation snuffs out righteousness and when a nation calls bad good and darkness light, then I tell you, it is God who is driving calamity like a stampeding herd of ten thousand rampaging cattle, right down the main streets of every city of that now light rejecting nation. Resistance is futile. “Lo, I raise up the Chaldeans.”

 Look around you now Christian, look at the movement of nations. Look around you now, look at the rise and fall of walls, look at the opening and closing of gates, look at the spread of the dark eagle’s wings! Behind which black gate on earth, is God now raising up a new locust swarm of nation consuming judgment?

Be sure of this: God is at work among the nations and some of them, He is sharpening as a sword of judgment against those other 'dimmer switch' nations who have so shamelessly rejected His light and, like a used cigarette butt, has screw healed His grace into the baby-blood leached ground.

Listen:-  For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. Habakkuk 1:6 KJV

Pray: -  Sovereign Lord, God over all, who should not be in awe of You? Merciful and patient, loving and gracious, creator of time and all the built spaces for repentance therein, the wind now carries to us the sound of the sharpening of Your sword of judgment. In Your wrath, remember mercy, and look upon the quick ignorance of we ‘forgetors of God’ we ‘forsakers of grace’ and soften our hearts that we might receive Your correction and be saved. Amen and let it be so.
