“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil..." In this fifth chapter of Isaiah there are six “Woes.” The old Nazarene preacher, Uncle Buddy Robinson, used to say, “When God says Woe, you’d better stop. I thoroughly agree, whether it be Woe or whoa, it will be to anyone's advantage to come to a complete halt!
Our text was written some seven hundred and fifty years before Christ; yet you’d think it was penned yesterday. Here we find that reversal of morality in a nation is no new thing. God’s people of old had destroyed all decent distinctions. They gave new definitions to sins. They used God’s vocabulary, but not His dictionary. They did not follow Isaac’s example, “he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.”
Whenever you find one perverting the scriptures, you will discover one who has no problem accepting and promoting any and all types of perversion.
"...that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.” Before you can get a kindergarten child to say that a white piece of paper and a black one is the same; and before you can get them to admit a dill pickle and a chocolate bar taste alike, you must first educate them to say and believe such lies.
And so it is with our beloved nation. This tripe must first be channeled through our institutions of learning, the news media, and pulpits of our country, before it is ingrained in our character. So watch what you're being fed!
Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the Lord God of judgment? (Mal.2:17)
