THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE SECOND BOOK OF MOSES THE TWENTY SECOND VERSE

 A STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

It was in about 1990-91, when Brother Clyde N. Patton, while  attending a meeting at the Assembly at Tyler Texas, gave me a paperback book titled "THE GAY AGENDA BLUEPRINT " saying that I needed to read it. I read it, but however did not really believe what it described therein could possibly happen in my generation. How terribly, and sadly wrong I was.  

Not long before his death I heard Brother Clyde N. Patton publicly say, "I don't know this world anymore, and I don't like it." Many of the values, attitudes, morals, behaviors, rights, and wrongs we grew up being taught, and held to be true and dear were no longer so. 

Right has become wrong, whereas wrong has become right. What was esteemed as bad, evil, and sinful in the world I knew and loved has incrementally become esteemed as being good. Whereas what was esteemed good in the world that I knew, and loved has also become incrementally what is esteemed evil in this world present day world, Isaiah 5:18-21. All of which brings to mind an observation of God found in Genesis 6:5-6, before He determinedly eternally judged that wicked, and perverted world with the flood, Sparing only eight souls to continue the commission given to Adam through his progeny unto Jesus Christ.          

At the time of hearing those words first spoken by Brother Patton I could not appreciate the dismal reality, the significance, or magnitude of concern of this disappointed man of God. Neither could I comprehend this grief in his sad observation in old age. Now as I find myself a year older than he was when he passed from this life I find myself sharing the same sentiments. Like him, I also find myself being " a Gershom, that is to say,  "A stranger in a strange land".

 Name means identity. Jacob which means deceiver had the identity of being deceitful. Jacob wrestled with an angel and had an epiphany experience wherein his identity was changed to Israel which means   "He who prevails with God" ......  I now, like those who went before me,  realize  that my name is also "Gershom",  Exodus 2:22.

May God save our children, and their children too from the wrath to come. Even as the Antediluvian world, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Jewish world, all perished in wrath, (Matthew chapters 23 and 24), so shall this  "evil and adulterous world" also perished suffering the wrath of God.  What. did all these societies have in common? They all gave themselves to moral abandon in promiscuity, homosexuality, bi-sexuality, fornication, adultery, pedophilia, beastiality, and worse  degenerate, and depraved activities as are unimaginably possible. All these behaviors are acts of rebellion, and abominable blasphemies against God, and His creation by design, and purpose. It is a fact, God does turn those who refuse Him, or His ways over to a reprobate mind, Romans 1:21-32, be they the called, or be they those who never heard, or those who once knew, but then choose to turn away.
