Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goes therein shall not know peace. 14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Therefore, when Isaiah makes the same connection in his prophecies, we are to understand that laws do play a critical role in the well-being or otherwise the downfall of any people, depending on whether they are in harmony with God’s law, or directly opposed to His revealed will.
Thus, the perversion, and inversion of God’s law are the keys that ultimately unlock the doors of disaster for the most part. On a national level it is something which can only be accomplished in legal framework by the judicial branch of government. And according to prophecy, and the characteristics of history, we’re just about there.
On an individual level persons can pervert their own judgement, by banishing the right in favor of wrong, but they cannot make their perversions the law of the land. Only the legislature can do this, hence the reason why it has become necessary for us to study closely what the legislative branch of Babylon does.
Isaiah 59:15 Yea, truth fails; and he that departs from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
