Before we demonstrate how Obama has violated God's law and continues to overstep his jurisdictional authority as president, it is important we articulate exactly what Biblical authority looks like so we know emphatically how his hubris will bring the wrath of God upon our nation.
The "higher powers" are subject to the Highest Power
The Bible is full of reoccurring truths, natural laws and principles throughout the entire cannon of scripture. One of which is how God holds anyone who aspires to positions of authority to an infinitely higher degree of accountability in this life and the next. The reason for this is because people in positions of authority are able to leverage their will whether good or bad exponentially over others.
To properly demonstrate this truth we first need to understand how God has ordained 6 societal institutions throughout scripture. These six institutions and jurisdictional authorities include God, Mankind, the Family, the Church, Society, and Government. Each has an important role, jurisdiction, authority and purpose in the lives of mankind and serve most importantly as a check and balance on the wicked nature inherent in the hearts of mankind. Every single institution with the exception of God listed is what Paul in Romans 13 terms as the "higher powers." Paul goes on in Rom.13:5 to say we only obey these "higher powers" if we can do so in good conscience, meaning "they" uphold good government or we don't have to obey, period. This understanding is what gave the founders the right to fight a revolution against King George. God on the other hand is the HIGHEST power as Creator and has jurisdictional power over all of creation as such, we are always to obey God rather than man.
How this works is God has placed both natural and moral laws in the hearts of mankind demanding that we conduct ourselves properly and do good to our fellow man. Here is a quick rundown on each ordained institution.
God - Is Creator, the Highest Power, Law Giver, and Righteous Judge who brings all creation into account. "I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."
Jeremiah 17:10
Mankind - As an individual we do good when we do what is right. If anyone lies, cheats, steals, murders we face both God's and man's wrath, who will render evil for evil. "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Genesis 9:6
Family - If we love our spouse and raise healthy God fearing children this is a good thing. No man has the right to abuse his children or spouse to do so is a violation of their authority and must be punished. "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." 1 Timothy 5:8
Church - God loves goodly instruction in His laws and teaching, and proper use turns ignorance to wisdom. But those who use scripture to manipulate and control are an abomination to God... just think about Jesus and his harsh words to the Pharisees. “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” 1 Peter 4:17
Society - Industry and human innovation is a gift of God when it is wholesome, and benefits mankind, but when society becomes perverse, corrupt, and wholly evil it is a curse on mankind. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." Hosea 4:6
Government - Good government and good leadership upholds each of these institutions, bad government on the other hand oversteps it's jurisdictional authority, tyrannically dictating man's conscience, changing traditions like the role of marriage and the family, controlling and oppressing the church, elevating perversities in society and waging wars and building police states through force of government. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn". Proverbs 29:2
Our culture here in America has totally lost touch with these truths, we are not taught anything about limited jurisdictional authority in our schools or churches and is exactly why we have become a morally bankrupt society. This is why founding father and President John Adams said,
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
This teaching on jurisdictional authority is by far one of the most important things we can learn and is exactly why I wrote and directed the 2 hour documentary film Christ Alone. It is the only film that I know of that lays out the Biblical model and role all these institutions play with in society. I feel so strongly about this subject I have put Christ Alone on Youtube for FREE here. This powerful film features expert guests such as Alan Keys, Chuck Baldwin, Don McAlvany, Katherine Albrecht and more, and touches on topics you will not hear anywhere else guaranteed. You simply cannot understand the rise of Obama to power without understanding how far we have come from God's perfect model. Good laws uphold and empower these institutions as natural and beneficial to humankind seeing that they are universally appealing to most everyone. Bad laws and leadership pit them against one another and profane them which causes confusion and conflict in society as people become confused as to their proper purpose and role.
Obama is inviting the wrath of God by upending and violating His ordained institutions
We have to realize that when we have a moral society it is very difficult for one person doing wrong as a minority to impact the nation towards evil. But when someone assumes a powerful position and begins to utilize their authority over government, business, the media, and military they can easily begin to corrupt society in a organized, top-down fashion. That is the nature of power, especially governmental power. It is a pyramid hierarchy that can begin to dictate and encroach into areas it should not. By using the examples above we can demonstrate this easily. If a man abused his wife, the wife is not obligated to stay under such an abuser, likewise if the church were to dictate what a family should do, the family is under no obligation to do what that preacher commands, that is what a cult would do. In like manner the church has authority over spiritual matters and mustn't ever allow society or government to dictate what it's role is being accountable only to God on such matters. In this you can see how each institution is limited in jurisdiction, even government. So when governmental authority starts to dictate and violate the jurisdiction and authority of these other institutions it becomes chaotic and confusing as the natural institutions begin to come into conflict and opposition with one another.
Everything Obama has done is outside the authority the Constitution grants him, and encroaches into institutions that are none of the president's business. So with this all being said let's look at a number of things that his administration has done to violate these God given institutions and how this violation has unleashed an untold amount of havoc in our society.
Creating a Race War in America - Obama has inflamed racial tensions to an infinite degree in America, so much so that two Presidential Candidates have publicly decried his actions, Ted Cruz stated,
"he has made decisions that I think have inflamed racial tensions - that have divided us rather than bringing us together." He cited as an example Vice President Joe Biden's 2012 comment to a largely black audience that Republicans intended to "put you back in chains." NBC News
While Ben Carson a black man himself chastised Obama for creating a race war in the Fox presidential debate last week he mixed no words on the Radio show Caffeinated thoughts with host Shane Vander by stating these words, “...What it’s been used for for the last several years is to create wars: a war on women, race wars, any kind of anything involving people of two different races, income wars, always class warfare, religious wars now, age wars. You know, these are exactly the kinds of things you want to do when you want to destroy a society, not when you want to bring people together.”
The President has no business utilizing the media to issue statements that inflame racial tensions, Carson said it right the only reason for such actions is stirring racial division for political purposes.
Sodomite Marriage - There is nothing natural about men marrying one another, the mere thought produces chaos in society. The fact that "butt-sex" has elevated itself to the national stage is an affront to the nobility of humankind, but because Obama and the media has facilitated and forced this debate it is now a divisive issue in our society. Liberals and Conservatives are at one another's throats over it literally. SCOTUS decision, allowing transsexuals in the military, persecution of Christian business and churches aside, nothing demonstrated that more than this recent article about a street preacher being stabbed over a discussion on the topic of homosexuality in the Bible.
"A 26-year-old Mennonite missionary was violently stabbed in the back on Friday by a pro-LGBTQ woman who became aggressive after he shared with her his Christian beliefs regarding homosexuality.
“The confrontation was about the idea of homosexuality…if that’s OK, if that’s acceptable, and whether God loves somebody who is in that state. And we assured her that he does,” said Eric Brubacher, a member of the Mennonite community who was present during the attack, to CTV." Lifesitenews.com
Disdain for the Constitution - Obama is a consummate liar, “I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution.” - Barrack Hussein Obama. Despite this remark you have to read the info at this link to really appreciate the number of violations against the US Constitution by the Obama admin. From war powers, to Obamacare, to NSA spying, funding of enemies like ISIS, freeing terrorists in Guantanamo the list goes on and on. He has no respect for the rule of law infringing in every aspect of society.
Violating US Immigration Laws - Obama has a Constitutional mandate to protect and maintain the borders of this country, but instead he utilizes the DHS to bus in illegal's from Mexico. Buses that are not only full of illegal Mexican gangs and criminal elements, but also Muslims from countries in Africa that in some reports are linked to terrorists organizations like ISIS.
"So when Anita Fuentes of OpenYourEyesPeople.com posted a video of a U.S. Department of Homeland Security bus pulling into a Shell station in Victorville, on the night of May 7, admitting he had a busload of Somalis and other Africans who had crossed the southern border, it raised more than a few eyebrows among those concerned with illegal immigration and national security." WND
Obama Appointee and Judge Blocks Planned Parenthood Videos - You simply can't make this stuff up, "Judge William H. Orrick, III, granted the injunction just hours after the order was requested by the National Abortion Federation. Orrick was nominated to his position by hardline abortion supporter President Barack Obama. He was also a major donor to and bundler for President Obama’s presidential campaign" The Federalist
A wicked ruler obstructs justice and that is exactly what Obama has done by protecting Planned Parenthood over something that would make savages vomit in disgust.
Funding the Christian Killing Terrorist Organization ISIS - Rand Paul said “I am the leading voice in America for not arming ISIS,” in the Fox News debate and Defense Intelligence Directors are blowing the whistle. There can be no doubt that Obama has funded the rise of ISIS, and as a result thousands upon thousands of Christians are being displaced, and murdered.
"Michael Flynn, the former director of Obama’s Defense Intelligence Agency, said he warned the Obama administration in 2012 that the groups they were funding in Syria were indeed Islamic jihadists. Not only that, but they warned that these jihadist groups wanted to form a “Salafist principality in eastern Syria” and that “ISI (Islamic State of Iraq) could declare an Islamic State.” All this is bolstered by a 2012 document from his agency that’s recently been declassified via a FOIA by Judicial Watch." The Right Scope
The list goes on and on, when we lose sight of fundamental Biblical truths it creates an environment with in society where a wicked individual like Obama can ascend to power unabated. He was not taught the law of God, he was a rebel and sexually deviant as a child, he promotes sodomite marriage, he mocks Christianity, manipulates his values onto society, and rules in total disregard to the Constitution. He truly is everything that God and the Bible warns against and we are suffering the consequences as a nation. This is what Judgement looks like.
If Obama is a perfect modern example of a wicked king, a perfect Biblical example is that of the boy King Manasseh in 2 Kings Chapter 21. It was this King the Bible says did evil in the sight of God that brought in idols, set up groves, built altars to false pagan gods in the temple, and even sacrificed his own children to Baal. It would of taken generations for Israel to fall to this level of depravity, but because the King upon high normalized it onto society it only took years to do so. In this same way Obama has also used the authority of the presidency to normalize gay marriage, create culture/race war, he has utilized his media contacts to deny coverage on the abortion videos, and even funds our enemies.
The Church as the check and balance we desperately need!
The only way out of this mess is the Church. Like the Apostle Peter said above “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” 1 Peter 4:17. We need the church to stand up, they can no longer cower and grovel to government.
The future of our country depends on outspoken Spirit filled leadership, these pastors in churches all across America have to realize that not only does God hold our political leaders to a higher account they too are held to that same standard. James the Brother of Christ said this in warning to Christian leadership "My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation" James 3:1. Though the chapter deals with the tongue it is a reminder that God gave humankind a tongue that like Obama can lie and deceive towards wickedness, evil and strife, but it can also like the rudder on a great ship turn it about and put it back on the right path by proclaiming righteousness.
The voice of the saints combined, and in unity speaking out against these evils can turn this ship around. We must be leaders not only in the confines and safety of the church we must lead our culture publicly and be a voice of reason and righteousness. The enemy is already making plans to destroy the church so it is now or never to begin speaking up in power, taking a stand for Biblical principles.
